haza555 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Without a doubt will be starting as Durham, live a couple minutes down the road, and they have the lowest reputation, making for the biggest challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I don't believe it, I was out and left a note for parcelforce to deliver to a neighbour, and I get home check the tracking and its gone back for auto redelivery, but I'm out most of tomorrow too, in a stroke of bad planning! Oh well, if I have any luck I will be able to spend tomorrow evening reloading but not really sure which team appeals for my first attempt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Without a doubt will be starting as Durham, live a couple minutes down the road, and they have the lowest reputation, making for the biggest challenge. It's just having them crop up that's the problem! Plenty of low-rep clubs to choose from. And for me I have a local team in King's Lynn and my attachment to Merthyr! I'll probably go with the first lowish rep club that comes up, as long as they've got a cool name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 All I can say without doubt is that I won't be returning to Eastwood, since they seem to have gotten themselves promoted, and I'm guessing a lot quicker than I managed it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the challenge teams I've managed so far have managed to get promoted for real (Marine, Frickley, FC United). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Pete Dewhirst Posted October 29, 2009 SI Staff Share Posted October 29, 2009 Damn you FM10! I've been really enjoying my Whitby Town game - I've been playing all year but am pretty slow, so I'm in league one in 2015/16. Would love to keep it going but not sure if I'll be able to resist the lure of the latest version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annihilator666 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Maps of those leagues if you want to see if there is a local club.Northern Premier League Premier Division Southern Football League Premier Division Isthmian League Premier Division I am going to chose either: Maidstone - I lived there for 18 years. Hendon - Very close to where I live now. Both should come up as rep of >1000. Going to be a tough choice Cheers for the links. Kendal is the closest to me in Belfast, so might give them a go...

sheeshy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 If I start this challenge, it has to be Durham City for me. IRL, they got a raw deal, cant go up due to a plastic pitch, sponsors pulled out, and they are rock bottom with 0 points, and 7 goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmama Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 YEEESSSS - Margate is a below-1000-rep-team!!! No doubt about which club I'll be messing up then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactic Master Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'm still having a go at completing this before i'm able to get fm10 next thursday! I started this season with a Community Shield victory over rivals Manchester United (0 - 0 after Extra Time, 5 - 4 on Penalties). We then started off the season with the hardest fixture any team could get and it was once again Manchester United! Carmine Brown showed his pure class with a scorcher to score the only goal of the game in our 1 - 0 Victory! 2nd game of the season was up against West Brom who we never underestimate, and for that we destroyed them 5 - 0 with a Carmine Brown double, Marin Etcheberry also scored a header and new boy Robert Jones scored a double to kick start his career at FC United. This victory defines our intent this season and we will be going all out to win the big trophy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactic Master Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Massive news for my team... We have FC Bayern in our group for the Champions League! We lost to them in the Champions League Final last season. I made a friendly against them this season and we managed to beat them 1 - 0 Maybe this is a good thing! [Edit] Thanks Hamilton I want to complete it very much as i dont want to go down as a failure this year lol. You got FM10 yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactic Master Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Still unbeaten so far this season. Community Shield FC United 0 - 0 Manchester United (5-4 Penalties) Premier League Manchester United 0 - 1 FC United FC United 5 - 0 West Bromwich Albion Aston Villa 2 - 3 FC United FC United 1 - 0 Chelsea Champions League FC United 1 - 0 Sturm Graz I decided to give some of the less established players a chance in this game with a few of the world class players providing some class in the team. However, they failed to prove their worth to me as 85th minute substitute Marin Etcheberry slotted the winner in the 94th minute from a Marco Faber cross. Quincy Charlier and Felix Donkor have a lot to do if they want to sneak into my plans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactic Master Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 We just destroyed FC Bayern 4 - 0!!! Marin Etcheberry scored twice, Marco Faber and new boy Robert Jones scored the other 2. This now proves that we are a much bigger team than last season, still unbeaten and looking ahead to glory! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtomsett11 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Is anyone who isn't anywhere near finishing the challenge carrying on with FM09 version? I'm still in the Blue square prem with Farnborough, but still want to complete the challenge so i'm continuing, but i was just wondering whether anybody else would be and whether there would be a point to continuing to post? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtomsett11 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 So there are two of us left I've finally been promoted from the BSP,(as Farnborough), (2013-2014) after two seasons of finishing 2nd by a point then losing out in the play-offs! Got the final of the FA Trophy coming up, don't know if i'll even be able to win the prem by the time 2011 comes out!! My balance is just under 900k, hopefully FA will boost it to 1mill which would be nice for next season! Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasy Chip Butty Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Still carrying on with FM09 for now. Heybridge Swifts are currently in BSP, sitting 2nd behind Rushden and Diamonds after seven straight wins - woop! Also in Conference League Cup Quarter Finals where I'm hoping for a good draw.

Gizmo7 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 ProfileAfter just a few reloads I got the team I wanted. My aim is simple, overtake Man Utd as the dominant force in English football. The media is predicting we will finish 20th out of 22, so we have a chance of escaping relegation this season. Hi, sorry if this has already been covered, but i've just been searching through and i couldn't find the answer. Where did you get your profile pic from?

Jimbokav1971 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi guys. There doesn't seem to be an off-topic thread in here anymore so apologies if this is deemed inappropriate. Spoke to Nep the other day and he gave me a bit of a a doing about my absence, so I have popped in to say hi. I am still playing FM09 and still playing the dafufe challenge as Hitchin. It's 9th May 2021 and I am still only in League 2.:o The good news is that I am looking good for automatic promotion this season, (2nd with 8 games left), am in the final of the JPT, (& will play Wolves in the final who are top of League 1), beat Blackburn in the early rounds of the League Cup, (top of Championship), and lost narrowly to Man Utd in the FA Cup, (35 year old Rooney with the goal), so things are at least heading in the right direction after a period of struggle. Finances are an on-going struggle but our cup explaits have at least helped a bit and we now have £200k in the bank. Goal-scoring has been my problem, (as usual my team is decent at the back), but 2 young, (well they used to be young), have been my primary strike-force for a few years now. Will try and pop back in more often. Cheers guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
