Travis Bickle Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Apollon Limassol - A Cypriot Dynasty Introduction Apollon Limassol are a Cypriot Football club founded in 1954 and play in the city of Limassol. Apollon are one of the most well supported teams on the island, however they have only won the domestic league three times. For me, they pose an interesting challenge as they have the potential to turn into a Cypriot powerhouse and enjoy good European runs, but are still in the shadow of APOEL and other clubs. It is my endeavour to build them into a true small-nation powerhouse and help them grow as the city of Limassol experiences a continual boom in development. The Manager: I will be playing as a fantasy version of myself, a 25 year old English-Cypriot who has returned to his ancestral land to take his first step in football. I will be something of a managerial prodigy with a UEFA Pro Licence after hanging up my Semi-Professional boots very early on. The Stadium: I will be sharing a stadium (Capacity 13,331) with city rivals AEL Limassol and Aris Limassol until I can build us our own stadium. We have our own training facility which is good, average youth facilities, well established youth recruitment, good junior coaching, and average corporate facilities. The Supporters: The City: Limassol has a population of 101,000 with a Metro population of 239,842. It was built between the Greek cities of Kourion and Amathus and has one of the busiest ports in in the Mediterranean. It enjoys a very high quality of life and sun almost all year round. Set-Up: I've loaded all leagues, and three divisions from Cyprus using my files: https://community.sigames.com/topic/454213-fm19-cyprus-full-football-league-system-database-update-and-more/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Bickle Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 18-19 Pre-Season and European Qualifying: I spent the first week bringing in some staff, we've got a good Head of Youth Development from Spain, and another Head Physio from Spain. We got through the first round of Europa League qualifying easy but Lillestrom will provide us a more difficult task. The joint Argentine stikeforce of Facundo Prrerya and Emilio Zelaya are really promising: They will need to be as the board expect me to win the league first season! My manager is still living out of a hotel room in Germasogeia but looking for an apartment to rent as I settle into the role Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Bickle Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hi guys, unfortunately my save crashed on Thursday but I'm starting again this weekend and will just update the previous posts. My dynasty will continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Bickle Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 2018-2019 Beginnings: We had an awful away result to Rangers that dented our chances of EL qualification, but the team is looking good overall. I've relied heavily on loans for this year whilst selling off some of the older players. This young lad has been magnificent for us and hope he can develop into a superstar: t Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Bickle Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Champions! With 2 games left, we faced Omonoia at home whilst APOEL played AEK at home. We were leading by 1 point. My last game was AEL away who I never beat, whereas APOEL had Omonoia away. I saw that APOEL were down 1-0 meaning that a win vs Omonoia would give us the championship, however, Omonoia scored against us, my heart sunk, but ever so luckily it was counted as disallowed. It was a 0-0 deadlock game with me and Omonoia, we only had 40% possession, and it was looking like I'd be tasked with getting a point out of city rivals AEL but low and behold, in the 90th minute we are awarded a penalty. Loanee Spanish left-back Alberto from Malaga steps up and calmly placed it into the left corner meaning we are Champions! I'll now rest my team for the final game vs AEL so they are ready to play Anorthosis on Wednesday in the Cypriot Cup Final! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Bickle Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 19-20 Season Beginnings: Remarkably, we made it into the CL groups after a stunning 5-0 win over FC Basel. I've managed to add some youth to the team now, and our squad is drastically different, both younger and more energetic than last year: We're going to need it though, because this CL group doesn't look too good: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
