Mr U Rosler Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 You can see older players don't move much (your starting squad), most of them never got near their PA. Young players with game time can improve fast, Joseph Udeh +20 in 1 season. Would suggest the following CA rating for a good player at each level. League 2 - 75 League 1 - 90 Championship - 105 Premier League - 120 England International - 140 World Class - 165+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Winter Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Very quiet in here lately. I haven't been playing much myself to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr U Rosler Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm persisting! In League 2, lost in playoffs 2 years running, last season I was top with 5 games to go and only needed 4 points from my last 5 games, lost 4, won 1 to miss out on automatic promotion on goal difference. Winding me up big time. Don't know if its because I've got a young team and they bottled it but something weird happened and its not that first time I've had a late season collapse. Hard to be consistent in this years game. Will do a proper update when i'm out of league 2..... hopefully this season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM doesn't recognize "experience" as it exists in real life. If the mental attributes are right, even a 16-year old can outplay a 30-year old in clutch moments.

Gareth Winter Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Time for an update Mr Rosler I see you have a new tactic and are in the Championship I've stopped playing for a bit, back playing World of Warcraft for my sins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However a variant of it is now working again and i'm mid table in the Championship. I've no chance of promotion at the moment and if I got it i'd be relegated immediately for sure. I've produced and immediately lost 3 Premier League rated players (board accepting bids) a keeper, striker & centre back. I've been able to re-sign every player I've lost so far after they've spent 4 seasons rotting in an under 23 team somewhere, if/when I get these bad boys back on the books I should have a push at promotion and an outside chance of staying up in the Premier League. My keeper has '4' aerial ability but as I've no one better he's played over 500 games for me getting ruined by corners & crosses etc..... its a form of torture. I promise i'll update properly after this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Winter Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Haha keep it up mate, I've barely played. It is a grind, I think I would be more suited to the Dafuge challenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainWhite Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Anybody still grinding along with this challenge? Before i stopped i did manage to reach League 1 but with my local Australian league kicking off i lost the time to play with preseason training. Looking to start over again as i now have a new computer and a little more free time. With the new load up i see a few familiar faces from the last attempt. Great to see Daniel Carr the goal machine i notice we have Dumebi Dumaka. I had him on one of my first saves on Fm17 and he also like a few goals. Quade Taylor also tied down to at least one more year will give me a solid foundation at the back with Paddy Kenny also on the books to add experience between the sticks!

Gareth Winter Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I still have the save kicking about somewhere. I got a bit bored though and have started a LLM game with Stafford Rangers. Which i am enjoying Won the league and FA trophy first season and have reached the final again this season, along with the playoffs.

Mediocre_Jake Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I just decided to start this challenge. Lost my only goalkeeper to Swindon. I am now forced to use a grey player, seeing as I can't sign anybody at all. This is torture already and it's only my first season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenzar Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Is that the Preston Edwards who got sent off after 10 seconds or so? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr U Rosler Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 I got to the Championship twice with Dulwich Hamlet but got stuck there both times. As soon as I was even older than Roy Hodgson I decided it was unrealistic to carry on. I've a great save going with Stockport County, fancied a change and they are my home town Club with decent facilities so its slightly easier. Made it to the Championship in 11 seasons, stuck just outside the playoffs for 4 more seasons but i've a good young team and I expect to make it to the Premier League in the next 2 or 3 seasons. What happens then, god only knows. Still, the most fun way to play FM if you ask me. Will definately reboot this for FM18, perhaps with a couple of tweaks to make it more fun and doable.

jaysdailydose Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Best of luck to all of you on this amazing challenge! I'm also doing a Youth Academy Challenge in England, but I play with Kettering Town instead of Dulwich Hamlet. So, I obviously won't be posting my updates here, but I am definitely enjoying reading all of your saves! Definitely wanted to stop in and thank everyone for posting their updates! Please keep up the great updates! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
