leovii Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Minsking In Belarus Introduction After editing the database a few days ago and making the lower tier teams in Belarus playable it has allowed me to come up with my own idea for a challenge. It has continued on from previous FM's where people where becoming aware with Ruor on various forums and seemed to have really enjoyable fm saves with them. So who is Ruor Minsk? League : Belarus 3rd Division (4th Tier) free image hosting They are an extremely unique team on the FM database due to the fact the reputation of the league and level they start in is one of the lowest on the game but yet have an amazing youth academy, training facilities and youth recruitment scheme. You start the game in debt with a very small squad but with huge potential to fly your way up the belarus pyramid. With limited finances as well you will most probably see your club get into crippling debt due to the financial drain the academy, training facilities and youth recruitment will take on your club in the early years. Leagues loaded and Game Detail Start Date - Feb 2012 Playable Leagues - Poland, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine Players loaded from top divisions from ex soviet countries. Players loaded from top clubs in south america and africa also added as a lot of players these days start of there time in europe in Eastern nations. Database Size - Small and leagues loaded outside Belarus on minimum detail My aims and What I hope to achieve 1. Build up my manager Rep at RUOR and try complete all or sum of my challenges set here http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/348319-Ruor-Minsk-Academy-and-Soviet-Challenge? 2. To fly up the Belarus footballing pyramid as quickly as possible whilst developing and signing great youth pospects from Belarus and Eastern Europe and see them flourish through this great academy setup. 3. Sell On great talents to big European teams and follow there progress 4. Win Domestic trophies and maybe European ones too with RUOR which is gonna be extremely difficult but not impossible Summary below of my first 3 years in charge and show some of my young players breaking through and some other screenshots ect I am fairly realistic that achieveing back to back promotions for the first few seasons will be pretty straight forward due to the Facilities and reputation of RUOR compared to lower league teams in Belarus. So I will be posting updates from the start of my 4th season as I have previously gained promotion consecutive promotions for the past 3. I will also try and post as many updates as possible to my youth players progress as will be interesting to see what levels they can reach in a lowish rep nation and league.

leovii Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Year 2012 Season1 Position 1st after being relentless for most of it I dipped at the end and won the league on the final day with a scrappy draw whilst if my title rivals Spartak Shklov had won there game I would of been in the playoffs. I was expecting promotion though after my first 10 games after I had only dropped 2 points and many of the opposition was inferior. upload pic My youth intakes where pretty decent nothing spectacular there was one I think will be immense though Alexandr Platonov with some training and games could develop nicely. :-) photo hosting sites Finances are fecked nearly a million in debt hoping the owner can stick some cash into the club or I can climb the leagues quickly to sell my youngsters for some decent cash. Hopes For next Season gotta try for promotion again and maybe start being a nucleus with a side of youngsters get them developing playing games ect. Maybe a cup run could help my club rep also as the 3rd division did not enter the Belarus Cup Key Player when he wasn't Injured Ivanov played him either advanced forward or Target man. online photo sharing My Keeper Vysotskiy shot up from 3 star potential to 5 after a full season in goal at the age of 16 his aerial ability worries me though :-( free image hosting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did'nt realise until 3 seasons in but because the club is academy based they sanction any compensation for youngsters if you can get them to come to you. I am going to have a good scout in africa and eastern europe see if I can pick up som gems.

leovii Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 2014 Season 3 Review Belarusian First League Weird thing that shocked me after gaining promotion from the Belarus 3rd Tier was no foriegn players can be registered (a few ukrainans and my african midfielder where inelligable to play league games) So I was left with two options sign players to replace them for the season(s) whilst i remain in this league or bring through some youth so I decided on the latter. My season started really well unbeaten in my first 6 games but then inconsistency crept in with my young squad smashing a team one week getting battered the next this theme seemed to follow only allowing me to secure a promotion play off spot. upload foto My cup run was pretty poor after beating smaller league teams we end up facing the giant of belarus BATE in an early round and after taking an early lead against this would end up being my only shot on target for the match and then ended up losing 3-1. photo sharing sites My finances are just terrible the amount of money that goes into the infastructure of the club just kills you my only hope is reaching the top division to maybe sell some high potential youngsters for decent money. The chairman is very decent though sanctioning compensation of youngsters even though I have no transfer budget and he also pumps in the odd 300k,400k every 6 months or so. My highlight was definately winning the 2 legged promotion playoff against higher league team Slavia Mozyr beat them home and away and meant three consecutive promotions for RUOR and really glad to get to the top division in the quickest time possible. upload pics pic hosting Was good gaining promotion considering it was the first time we was not favourites to dominate media prediction was 4th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leovii Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Year 2015 - Belarusian Highest League Transfers In (2) Yuriy Yurchenko D C/R Luis Anarelli WB/M/AM L Transfers Out mainly loans and fringe players released who I did not think would step up to the next level. I secured my two signings from being way under my wage budget so adjusted it to complete the transfers. With my board expecting me to develop youth thought it would be wise not to go mad and sign loads of players over the close season plus I am excited about many prospects coming through at present with many getting exceptional coach reports about there developments.

leovii Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 April 2015 Neman Grondo (A) LOST 1-0 Was never in the game if it was not for my immense keeper Vsotskiy would of lost by more. Played the backbone of the team that got my promoted from last season but the signs are worrying that they may lack quality. Over 15,000 was at Nemans Stadium the biggest crowd by far my team had played in front of in Belarus Shakhter Soligorsk (H) WON 2-0 Played really well 2 second half goals from my young guns Livoskiy and Metilitsky earned me a deserved win. Our first sell out too as 1.500 attended the game Thorpedo Zhodino (A) LOST 1-2 Was a close game a late free kick seperated the teams in a game which could of went either way. Livoskiy was on the scoresheet again with a bullet headed Brest Bir (A) LOST 4-2 Was 3-0 down in the first half hour played better second half gettin it back to 3-2 but hopes of a comeback was dashed when Brest converted a penalty late on.

Scorers Metlitskiy and Ivanov Gomel (A) LOST 1-0 poor game settled by a set piece early on we never looked like scoring either even when i went much more attacking in the second half. BATE (A) LOST 1-0 Should of lost by more if it was not for a fantastic defensive display.

leovii Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Youth Graduates In First Team free photo hosting Been at the club since the beginning his development has been amazing and can see him being the national keeper for Belarus in a few years. picture hosting Like Vsotskiy been with me since the start still unsure If he will make it long term but his 5 star potential still gives me hope falls asleep way to often in games though which is starting to annoy me. free image hosting Was gonna release this guy start of last season but his development after coming back onloan and his impressive start in the first team has seen him become a first team regular. photo sharing sites Probably guilty for not getting the best out of Baha this season as I haven't been playing to his strengths but he is very much in my plans for the future. photo uploader Great first season in the top flight hoping for a 20 goal plus for next year. Seems to be developing all the time maybe he could be my poacher for many years to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leovii Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Season Summary On the whole a decent season as predicted 9th. Still in the belarus Cup too which will overlap into season 2016 so hopeful I could maybe sneak my way into the final and possibly europe. With the board moaning about boring football I am considering bringing in a core of Brazilians for next season to spice things up as my scouting range has been increased and have recently signed a South American scout. My team lacks in overall quality though which I will need to improve to move forward and also going to look to bring in some higher quality coaches to get the most out of the academy setup. The stadium issue is holding the club back we currently only have a capacity of 1500 and being a million in debt there is no way they will sanction an expansion or new stadium even though we sold out most home games this season.

leovii Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 What are the board expectations like for you? When I played last year I found they we always really high. Solid 1st season at the top Just need to sort the money out now Yep they are high, minimum expectation is Europa League qualification this season with a very raw young squad gonna be very difficult. Especially when I have been told I have to rely on youth and they cut my wage budget too due to debt (350pw is the max I can offer a player now) Still stuck with a 1500 stadium aswell it is practically impossible to get any money into the club. I could sell some players but I have no decent replacements coming through at the moment so I am gonna see how this season goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danzo97 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 In what I believe to be my greatest FM achievement ever, I won the Belarusian Cup with RUOR in my first season of the challenge! With a relatively young squad, I had little hope going into the competition, however we won, beating massive sides such as Brest and then Dinamo Minsk in the final. RUOR then managed to secure promotion, losing only one match in the process. Here are my recommended signings: GK- Alexandr Bulecheko -a 16 year old goalkeeper signed on a free, the boy has been a brick wall in goal all season. Is developing fast and will hopefully be my number 1 for a few more years judging by his 4.5 star potential. DM/CM- Andrey Milevskiy - a versatile 35 year old ex Belarus international signed on a free, this player has played predominantly in centre midfield this season, breaking up the play. However due to his versatility he has covered a number of other positions when players were injured. ST- Ruslan Belash -the target man of my team, Belash is a short term solution for my advanced forward position upfront. At the age of 39, he certainly isn't getting any younger, but for a free, he has served me well. With stats of 15+ in strength, jumping, balance and natural fitness, he is sure to outstrengthen many of the Lower League Defences. Only downside is his 5 finishing... ST- Vladislav Ivanov -as with many other people who have attempted this challenge, i have had great success with this young striker. At the club when I joined, Vladislav scored 22 goals in 25 games playing as a poacher. Whilst his stats are by no stretch of the imagination mind blowing, he develops steadily if played regularly, and will hopefully be called up for the u21 side soon. P.S. is the owner of the thread still playing this challenge, as i would love to hear of your progress? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
