TheEarl Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 To explain more @lvzifer you could at the moment just update something like this to make it quicker: Season - Club - trophies won (alternatively nation - trophies won) Then do this season by season until you reach the point you are now.

nmassey Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Would love to see this thread remain active, no reason why this challenge can't be kept going for future releases! I'm thinking about starting it this evening (progress will be very slow because I'm a postgrad student in genetics with a tonne of unfinished coursework) but it's by far the biggest challenge on any FM forum and certainly the best regarding journeyman careers. I think the beauty of a challenge like this is that it doesn't matter which version on FM you have; by the time you've started to make real progress towards winning all of the required competitions, the players are all going to be regens anyway! Here's to hoping that this challenge stays for many editions of FM to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not many have taken part over the last 6 months or so, but this should hopefully all change once claassens or any other does a serious league add-on for FM18. My self I am still playing in FM17 somewhere around 2030 , plan to write a new update soon to let everyone know where I am.

TheEarl Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 30 minutes ago, Duroliponte said: I know I'm not getting FM18 so am toying with the idea of starting this as a save to dip in and out of for the next year. Sorry, but I I have a few annoying questions about the optimal set-up: Do we have to load leagues down to the lowest available level? e.g. have tier 6 loaded if we're playing in England? Are we restricted in choice of starting club/should we have active leagues in all six continents loaded at any one time? e.g. if someone had only Italy loaded at the start of the save they would likely get a Serie C job, which is still higher rep than the Maldives. For those of us with older laptops, what are the recommended 'add player' settings to ensure the continental competitions remain challenging? e.g. I don't like the idea of the Asian CL being a walkover, as it was the last time I tried something like this. Hello @Duroliponte thanks for showing interest in taking part. Would love to have you onboard - You can load as many or few leagues as you want, and Top Tier only, all the way to the bottom or something in between. Starting club is anything you can get with the starting criteria, No badges, Sunday League Football Rep, and 20 years old. Nationality only 1 or your true genuine nationality(ies). I don't know if you can get Serie C club in Italy, as I never tried. But I know for a fact you can get club in England at Tier 5 or maybe even Tier 4. That is of course a lot better than starting in Maldives. But its really up to you how you will play it. I started in Ivory Coast with a top team there, and won league and cups in the first season. When it comes to add players, if you use an old PC don't add too many or you will slow down the game. But personally I like to add international players from continents so if you become International manager you can actually have real players. (If there is not enough you will not be allowed to take over certain nations in the game I think.) As for how many league to run at a time, its up to you. But personally I like to run at least 2 nations in the continent I am playing so there is some sort of opposition in the CL. I don't know if you actually thought of starting in Italy, but if you do I would love other about it as I don't think anyone else did so far. If not I would like to recommend either Ivory Coast, DR Congo, Ghana, Costa Rica or Jamaica. But really the whole world is up for grabs. Finally hope you try it out, and let us know what team you are starting with... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did start it previously but never got anywhere with it, but this time, this is the time I do this and post updates! I'm at work today but tonight I'm going to start with Australia, China, Malaysia (had my best and most favorite save with a team in Malaysia on 17!), UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia & Tahiti as playable from the start and 1 country from each other continent as view only until I decide to make it playable, view only prob going to be Argentina / Chile, USA, Cameroon, Nigeria or South Africa, Spain & or Italy. I will start the game from the start of the season in Australia as I think the lower league teams there will be the lowest rep playable, maybe Tahiti but I'll start the game whenever Australia starts.

Took over at Pyongyang CIty and, even though I have nothing left to gain from North Korea, I felt I wanted to repay them for giving me my first job, so I'm staying with them another year or so to help develop thier facilities while I earn my coaching badges. Here's to repeating the treble!! EDIT: I should point out, the Asian Confederation Cup is the equivalent to the Europa League, comprising of teams from the likes of Syria and Macau, while the good Asian teams from South Korea, Japan, China etc. all play in the Asian Champions League.

You can only calculate that as a part of the challenge, if it later in your savegame becomes impossible to win either Copa Libertadores or Copa Sudamericana due to a bug in FM17. If these competitions still plays without a bug, you can't switch any of the "original" continental competitions.

bigmattb28 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Well I restarted this and will post updates as I go. My manager is 30 and from Barbados, don't know why Barbados just seemed like a cool place to be from. Anyway his favorite club is Perlis in Malaysia, fun fact I had my best ever journeyman save on 17 and was at Perlis twice on that and had loads of success so that's why his favorite is them, maybe I'll go there on this save. Also favorite formation is 3-5-2, tactical manager with Sunday league rep and I think 2 points in adaptability and 3 maybe 4 in tactical training. Will post screens when I'm at home. Started unemployed and got the Devonshire Colts job in Bermuda. Won the first game 4-1 against PHC Zebras then lost 3-2 at home to North Village Rams who are favourites to win the league. we're expected to finish bottom, told the board I'd battle bravely against relegation. My aim on this challenge is to not leave by my own accord until I've won at least 1 trophy, in the early part this won't do anything for the challenge especially in Bermuda but will help my rep go up to get another job along the way. Lastly leagues I have loaded at the minute are Bermuda, Panama, Australia, New Zealand, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia all playable and France, Scotland, Argentina as view only. Will only add a league once I'm done with the 1 I'm in. 16 hours ago, nmassey said: Basically 4 or 5 teams with enough half-decent players to challenge, April 25 and Rimyongsu are the best but Pyongyang have three really good strikers, a decent midfield and a good keeper.

Great to see you get underway @bigmattb28 , the opening post states that the manager should start as 19-20 years old. I don't think it inflates the game as much on FM17 as it will on FM18.

And most likely people will not be bugged by Copa Libertadores/Sudamericana anymore so Asian Confederations Cup will not count. The reason it didn't make the original 70 is due to the fact clubs from Korea, China etc. don't take part there. But I will still let it remain as a "sub comp" in case of bugs...

bigmattb28 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I didn't play much over the weekend but I did finish my first season at Devonshire Colts, winning both the cups there and finishing a respectable 5th in the league. Main striker that was at the club when I joined I've signed this guy on a free As above I won both the cups this year, here's the end of season awards as well as a new contract: 1 thing I have noticed is there's only 2 teams (North Village Rams & Dandy Town Hornets) that have a squad of actual players in Bermuda as they're all those greyed out players. I've signed a couple of them, you may notice Tevahn Mundy above, he's a greyed out player I offered a contract too and he's Barbadian like my manager is. Also there's a LOT of goals scored in most games. I'll get my schedule posted when I'm at home but we scored a lot of goals each game. Just as a bit of trivia too, my first game was against PHC Zebra's which we won, and the FA cup final was also against them which we just won on penalties. Maybe we'll get a rivalry with them going? The manager for North Village Rams is also the Bermudan national team manager and he's just left his club, I declared interest in that job and it said I'm considered a leading candidate, didn't even get an interview but not that fussed, I'll stay at Devonshire for at least this season and see how I get on. I do have the CFU championship loaded as well, wonder if as I've won the FA cup I'll get in that. Will see. I'll post progress again as I go.

bigmattb28 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Just a quickie, started second season with the charity cup and remember in a previous post I said there's a lot of goals scored? Well check this out Does this count towards the list @TheEarl ? They won back to back league titles so I'm happy to beat them. Also first game of the season and we just beat the team predicted to finish second Also my manager history so far Got New Zealand being loaded up from the end of this season but will see how I get on here before making a decision to move or not.

TheEarl Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Charity Shield, Super Cups doesn't count. Cups that you win need to have at least 10 teams in the cup. And Super Cups usually only have 2 teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the best way to tackle this do you reckon, should I try and get the 'easier' continental cups out the way. by easier I'd maybe say the Oceania champs league is prob the easiest, I reckon any New Zealand team can win it if you get past Auckland City, or even use them. The North America champs league I'm gonna have to go with a Mexican team I think, the Asian champs league I won with a Malaysian team on a previous save so I'm confident with that one.

I don't want to line up everything here as people should find out by chosing their own path. But depending on your reputation I think you have a few possible scenarios: - Try to move to a different CONCACAF Nation, build your rep there and try to conquer the NACL - Move to a lower rep continent and take a top team there first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneManSnipez Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 @TheEarl is this possible to do in fm18? I know claaasen already has quite a few leagues on his workshop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know claaasen already has quite a few leagues on his workshop. I haven't checked the last few days. But I think its still a time to wait unfortunately. You will have to check the following: - Europe is fine already (many leagues) - S.America is fine (more than 3 leagues) - Asia is fine (more than 3 leagues) - Africa need 2 additional leagues other than South Africa - N.America need 1 additional league other than USA and Mexico - Oceania need 3 additional leagues (no leagues from the start.) - Oceania also needs Champions League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
