dafuge Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Daf, can I suggest a table in the OP or somewhere nearby with information on where people are in their saves? I'm willing to use one of my early posts for this if you want...... If you want to keep one updated then please go ahead. I've done it in the past and it took a lot of time, which I don't really have at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crouchaldinho Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 New version of FM bought and installed. First save is going to be an attempt at Daf's challenge with my favourite club St. Albans City! I've been on holiday through the first season and just need to load to see if St. Albans City come up!

Swinburn Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 As per usual, once I get the game (hopefully, but unlikely, today), I'll be starting with FC United. Got to continue the tradition (Some may remember me as jswinburn). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew the Cookie Eater Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Missed out on this last year, and I couldn't be bothered to go through tonnes of reloads to get a low rep side, so I decided to pick Lowestoft Town. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikeologist Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 you running it again this year? Thus far haven't been able to download the game. Forged, pirated and stolen products are easy to get hold of here, but as i wanted to obtain the game legitimately, it will take a bit more time. I'll have to get someone to open up a game and email or phone me with the activation code. At least that's going to be my story when the security Police kick down my door tomorrow and arrest me on suspicion of being a spy and receiving coded instructions to subvert the hamony of the nation. SI - Please note, there's lots of potential customers here. if you haven't figured out how to obtain the necessary licenses for China, may i suggest a trip to your local stationers to purchase a few relatively large envelopes. In any case, I'm probably doing something based in and with Scotland this year, but i will be interested in this thread to see if it's deemed to be more difficult this year / version, especially at the start of the challenge. I made a couple of tiny, mostly inadvertent, transgressions last year, so if i think it would be worthwhile, i might start the challenge at some point and stick to the rules religiously this time.

Lanthal Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I've done pretty reasonably with signings so far I think. My back line in particular looks solid and I've managed to stay under the wage budget with some cutting of the fat. Had some crap players on ridiculous money.

spankie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'll have another crack at this, I've only completed it once and I want to see if I can repeat the challenge. This time I have taken over at St Albans City The profile was taken yesterday and so far today I've signed a few players, including a few that came to the trial day and a couple of newgens that will be used as backup and more if they live up to the potential that my ass man thinks they have. I've even given one of the U18 newgens a pre-contract agreement. I am about to take control of my first game with a money making pre-season game against Blackburn.

Yeah you would have to. Think I've done 3 or 4 and was the 2nd one I got Chippenham when 2/3 different teams went down than the 1st. Also if you go to 23rd make sure it's 0.00 or the same teams keep coming up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
