GloryFan2002 Start of Challenge Report

Taitung County/Chinese Taipei (Taiwan)

23163291.png.3f7dc2515e6b17a2f5d50d4ac4a6de12.pngimage.png.7bec5914e201b6ed5cd6b53c6ddeca4a.png

So I have decided to start with a random country in the bottom tier of the country. So I ended up getting the Chinese Taipei, more commonly known as Taiwan but for the purposes of World Cup qualifying they are known as Chinese Taipei (due to China's involvement in the World Cup). The leaguepack I have has 4 tiers of Taiwanese football and we will be starting off in the bottom tier the Chinese Taipei Lower Division with Taitung County, chosen as they were the only non university/high school/academy team across all 4 groups of the bottom tier.

Looking at the country, they are currently ranked 139th in the world and participate in the East Asian Cup along with Asian and World Competitions. There is 5 key players that I will look to build this team around for our first go at qualifying for the East Asian Cup and World Cup, Yaki (Huanghai), Wang Gyun-Mung (Gwangju), Tim Chow (Spartak), Wen Chi Hao (Beijing BSU) and Chen Po Liang (Zhejiang). There is also Crystal Palace youngster Will Donkin to lead the team into the future.

The club side is currently expected to finish fairly low down on the table but with a transfer window at hand, I expect that to change. We have one pretty good player in 26 year old regen Chun Yung-Chin to hopefully drive us to promotion along with any other new signings

Another thing to note is that I have created an Argentinian manager who will hopefully bring through Argentinian youngsters in who will gain Chinese Taipei citizenship (take 7 years) and try to get to the World Cup with a team Argentinian rejects, due to the Chinese Taipei's relatively low youth rating.

Just one question: which league pack are you using for this challenge?

I'm on FM19 so I'm using Riddler (I think not 100% sure been ages since I downloaded the packs), I'll add to the introduction post league packs to use when people sign up with them. Hope that helps
