ToMexico!! Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Back on here after a small hiatus because my hard-drive gave up and had to be replaced so lost everything including my Moldovan save. Started a new save with a England down to level 10 update and picked AC London, the club formed after the London riots in 2011. An amateur club that starts in the Combined Counties League Division 1. I was promoted first time of asking, breezing the league by 8 points with just four losses, we scored 113 goals along the way. Now I am in the Combined Counties Premier Division and I sit 3rd after having played 14 games. I may start a thread in a few seasons time if my interest is still enthused for this save.

beechy85 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Not really settled into fm18 so went back to fm17 and my Gainsborough Trinity save I had won the league in season 1 and had a pretty decent pre season, started off well in the Vanarama National League but then Bray Wanderers from the Irish Premiership approached me they were 2nd in the Division with only around 8 games to play so I made the decision to leave for them. I managed to win the league at the end of the season and have made some really good transfers and am looking to build a squad to dominate Ireland for years to come! season 2 has started well with a Presidents Cup win to give Bray a 2nd Trophy. I am going to try and win everything over here before moving on for pastures new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuy600 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Very interesting choice, I believe that's the strongest competition not in the stock database. I believe nobody managed in Latvia before too though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToMexico!! Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Man City just signed Daniele Rugani from Juve for £125m, ridicolous fee for a CB. Looking at the leading transfers that not the most spent so far in the 2.5 seasons of this save. PSG signed Thomas Lemar for £149m from Monaco. Whist Man Utd signed Dybala for £103m and Icardi for £98m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuy600 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 FM just won't stop tempting me back after horribly failing many times This time I redownloaded the claassen's Megapack (plus real names and logos so now it's back to what it was a month ago) and am gonna try my hand at an old favorite, the Micronesian competition. We drew against the title favorites in the first match while our expectation is mid-table, so I have faith of finally not getting sacked. One big positive about the competition is that it's empty and short, which makes it easy to breeze through the months without getting immensely fatigued.

Minuy600 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 First season done, finished second to last unfortunatly. However, i'm happy enough that i've not been sacked (though 43% confidence isn't exactly safe sailing), and sure enough I get the feeling this might be the save i've been looking for. It went by quickly enough to not be tedious but slowly enough for me to keep up properly. Now to find a slightly better tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungHoss Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Going well with Bray in the Irish Premier, signing some good young players and building a strong squad. Got Stephen McManus coming in on the 30th June but he will only have a year until he retires also just managed to sign Bradley Fewater from Middlesbrough to partner Rhys Healey up front. Currently leading the Irish premier after 10 games and have also won another cup and going well in all the other competitions, one problem I might have is how close games are together! If I beat Dundalk I will have 2 cup quarter finals in 2 days!! I will need a big squad to manage this fixture list! One problem I have though is finances though only being with the club a few months I haven’t had any European competition so hopefully I can get group stages of the euros next year or I will have to sell a few youngsters when they develop a bit more to balance the books. really enjoying this save at the min and want to develop the club and youngsters until I move on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikulec Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Alright, so I'm looking for inspiration to start a save that I could hopefully get me hooked until FM19 comes out. Any suggestions? Preferably something in a smaller league so that it gives me a chance for nice progression while also not being terribly time-consuming as real-life coaching makes it impossible to dedicate as much time to FM as I used to. Any ideas will be much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas will be much appreciated. Plenty of good saves worth reading. Plenty of nations added in like Cyprus, Lithuania or extensions to nations like down to level 10 of England like i'm doing or down to level 22. I think just have a read and that should give you the inspiration you need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noikeee Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Latvia would be great, that's a country I have a weird unexplained affection for and would love to manage in one day. Those small leagues can be demotivating though, once you're dominating them you're onto a very boring domestic league and only yearly real tests in Europe and the Champions League.

Rikulec Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 This boring domestic league could actually be perfect for the quick sessions of just one or two games, which is probably going to be how I will mostly be playing.

Minuy600 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Just started a save in the Tweede Divisie of Holland in my own little database (just the proper rules so it works the same as IRL + a fix for one club that apparently isn't set to the correct stadium) and I got smacked 7-2 by a team who loaned 2 really good Feyenoord players and a load of Jupiler League guys.

dnlwrd Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) On the topic of Dutch football, just won the CL in my second season with Ajax. Really pleased, totally unexpected early success, because it's the Eredivise and because it's FM all my players still want to leave. So out of anger I applied to the vacant Bayern job but now that I've been offered it I don't know... I'm torn between the continuous recycle of players and the challenge of building another winning side.
