[FM19.3] Lost in Europe - A life in doldrums? 2.0 [Season 8 - Tottenham]

[Makoto Nakamura]

Here I am again, this save I have no idea where I'll end up, there is no set path and there's also no added leagues. I've loaded all of Europe with the earliest starting date (Finland - 25th December 2017) and I'm going to holiday a couple of months so the original jobs have gone and the only jobs that are going are from struggling clubs that have sacked their manager. Who knows I could get attached to the first club and it turn into a one-club save, or I could get sacked and wander around the backwaters of Europe hoping for a big break that never arrives.

Best of luck!

It's June 25th and we have our first interview! 

[Minuy600]

This is also a very good type of career mode! Can't wait to see where you end up.

Thanks Minuy, spoiler alert....it's Sweden but not IFK Lulea!

[Makoto Nakamura]

Asarums IF FK is a Swedish football club located in Asarum, Karlshamn Municipality.

Asarums IF FK currently plays in Division 4 Blekinge which is the sixth tier of Swedish football. They play their home matches at the Asarums IP in Asarum.

The club is affiliated to Blekinge Fotbollförbund. Asarums IF have competed in the Svenska Cupen on 17 occasions.

We've never won anything, can I change this? Probably not because we're in the relegation zone.

A very young squad with a lot of potential though!

Best of luck!

@Makoto Nakamura Will you do more yourself this time around, or still only press continue? 

[deez0r]

Good luck @Makoto Nakamura. I am following!

I didn't even press continue with the perfectionist! I am now pressing continue, and I even signed my own staff!

July 2018

A very good start to life in Sweden and we're already up to the relegation playoff spot!

We've signed one player for the reserve team.

Well, you do have to press it to continue after an event that needs your attention. After accepting a job, etc. 

 

Have fun in this one!

That is true, thanks Jorgen!

August 2018

A strong month and we've moved completely out of the drop zone!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2018 Youth Candidates

A couple of players with potential in the first intake.

[Makoto Nakamura]

Well at least it isn't Moyes!

[Clarky323]

Best of luck with this save Makoto! Can't wait to see where you end up.

 

One thing I did miss in your perfectionist save was the youth candidates list each season, so I'm glad to see that's back 

[nie jem frytek]

Which countryball is currently in your avatar?

It's Blekingeball, the county of Sweden which Asarums is based in.

2019 Pre-Season

That was a long, long pre-season.

Top half should be manageable.

We were busy in the transfer window, even I signed some players! 

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2019

A great unbeaten start although we're one of four teams at the top early on!

[Makoto Nakamura]

Jesus!!

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2019

A strong month and the big win over IFK Hassleholm moves us to the top of the table!

Three more join us.

Our goalkeeper also scored!

[Makoto Nakamura]

[Tacchi]

The only change comparing your perfectionist save that you take more responsibility around the team to slow down but you use the same tools (tactics, instant result, etc.)?

Anyway I hope you will touch Hungary in this save somehow;) I wish all the best for this career, looking forward to follow you through this one too!

I'm using the same tactic and instant result yes, I have spent the last 2 hours on the European spreadsheet so that's slowed me down a lot as well!

2018/19 European Roundup

I don't know if I'll keep doing the top scorer and highest average rating, but let me know what you think!

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

June 2019

A perfect month sees us move six points clear and I win the Manager of the Month award!

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2019

Perfect again and we're 10 points clear! Our goalkeeper scored another good freekick as well.

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2019

We slipped up away from home but it doesn't matter since we've won the league with four games to play!

Two fourth tier sides offer me interviews, I decline both of them.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2019 Youth Candidates

A model citizen, team leader 16 year old?! What did he do? Did he get an amazing Swedish equivalent of the Duke of Edinburgh award??

[sherwinriga]

Looking forward to follow your progress in a potential save in Europe, Makoto! I hope that you'll be able to grow your progress in your new career! Good luck!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2019 End of Season Review

[Makoto Nakamura]

2020 Pre-Season

Solid pre-season but poor defensively.

Just avoid the drop.

A lot joining us, although we haven't really strengthened much.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2020

I think we'll handle the step up!

And our Goalkeeper scored his first free kick of the season.

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2020

A terrible month and we fall down to 6th.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2019/20 European Roundup

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

June 2020

Just the one game and a good home win put us two points off of 2nd.

[Makoto Nakamura]

The biggest transfer I've seen in FM19!

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2020

A mixed month but we have moved back up to 3rd thanks to our goal difference.

One joins us.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2020 Youth Candidates

A very poor intake.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2020

We went 6 games without winning and we fall back down to 6th.

European Summer Transfer Window:

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2020

Another month with just the one win means that promotion is basically gone but we're also safe from relegation.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2020 End of Season Review

Three wins to end the season on a high and up in 6th place, much better than the prediction of 16th!

2020 Best XI

Magnus Berglöf

Tim Sorinder - Valmir Mulaj - Peter Mandic - Calle Appelquist

Johannes Hultgren - David Samuelsson - Jakob Svensson - Hannes Andersson

Michael Olausson - Christian Dahlqvist (YP1a)

[Makoto Nakamura]

2021 Pre-Season

A very good pre-season!

We've moved to the southern league and we're predicted to finish last in this league as well.

A not so busy transfer window this year.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2021

The match against Mjallby was a lot closer than it looked, it was 3-2 until the 92nd minute! 

[chokosc]

Best of luck on this save! Sure you will do amazing as always
