[FM 19] [Closed] Chip chip chip away in Baltics

[rodesire]

I chipped away once in Lithuania, I can chip twice

They said it cannot be done, they said it shouldn't be done.

But here we are, double Lithuanian/Baltic save on this forum.  With Gariunai in full swing, I thought it could be fun to do a journeyman on FM19 that I didn't really play all that much.  Add in, three custom made nations in Lithuania (very unfaithful to the real life pyramid for lols), Latvia (somewhat better but still relaxed) and Estonia (now this was actually realistic) and this is a recipe for a disaster!

I am not quite sure what's the overall aim of this other than try win everything in every country, ideally with a smallish club.  I'd love to lead one of these nations internationally one day too, so let's hope that happens at some point.

Without further ado, this is the set up I will be running for this save, baltics playable, all neighbours view-only with continental teams filled out.  I will also simulate 5 years in order to shuffle things just a bit.

I will try play this somewhat LLM by not actively looking for players beyond the scouting page, same goes for staff.

Alonsi!

It's summer 2023 and things have changed

Or have they?

PSG are doing PSG things having taken 5 league titles in a row, Bayern, Juve and Real Madrid all have 4 apiece with Neverkusen, Inter Milan and Atletico the sole winners of Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga respectively.  Things are different in the Premier League but not much.  Liverpool have broken the spell and won 3 titles in England with Chelsea and Man City winning one apiece in this universe.

Perhaps surprisingly it is Barcelona with the biggest transfer of the save.  Mo Salah is running down their wing with no particular success so far.

Continentally, Man City won the last two UCLs with Porto a surprise finalist (more on that later).  PSG have done it in 2021 with Liverpool/Spurs recreating real life final in 2020 and Man Utd avenging 2010s against Barcelona.  In the Europa League, it's Arsenal, Inter, Spurs, Chelsea and yes, Porto with the Thursday cup wins!

If you're wondering what's happening at Porto, wonder no more, their 21 year old AMC is the reigning Ballon d'Or recipient.  It's been extremely volatile with Harry Kane, Griezmann, Neymar and Mbappe all claiming one apiece before a sensational award for Almada.
