PaulHartman71 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Pau FC - Season 22: 2036/37 Ligue 1 A massive points total for us in a massive year. It didn't start off so promising though as we almost lost 4-0 in the Champions Trophy final, we pulled it back to 4-2 late on but was still a poor start to the season. A decent run but ultimately couldn't get past Lyon despite taking an early lead. A fantastic run to the final with the 4-2 come-back victory away to PSG being the highlight. Sorensen was on fire in the semi and the final. We made hard work of a relatively easy group but aside from Juve none of the teams really troubled us. We sneaked past Atletico and had some hope going into our away game with Barcelona but they out-classed out at the Nou Camp. Stock joined to be new first choice RB, Moyano came in as an exciting CM/CAM prospect, Westerlund came in as rotation LB/CB and Lashley came in as 3rd choice GK when our 1st and 2nd choice got injured over the festival period. Squad pt 1, Squad pt 2 It was a pretty mad season. Olivier Da Costa broke his leg in pre-season which lead to the new RB getting even more games than I imagined, Da Costa only managed 2 games all season as a result of his injuries and subsequent inability to return to fitness. An injury crisis at GK saw us end the season having used 4 different keepers throughout a season that saw us do a domestic double! Overall though for the first time we had a great squad full of decent depth and cover options in all positions which was key in our success. The key players in this massive year for us were Daniil Prokoshin at CB; Paolo Coppo at DM; Dylan Gerrard at CAM, and then the two stars of the season were Vincent Jardin and Kent Sorensen. They've formed a sort of poor mans Bergkamp/Henry partnership up-front this season. Jardin finished the year with 26 goals and 20 assists, whilst Sorensen grabbed 31 goals and 15 assists.

ArranoBeltza Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 PORTUGALETE 2025/26 SEASON REVIEW (finally) Manager Profile Manager Info I began this season back in January, while I was going through the game very quickly. Then, toward the end of the season, my save got corrupted so I began again. Due to that, plus general procrastination and getting sidetracked by other Steam games, I did not finish the season quickly at all...I just ended it today. Some of my summaries may be a bit shallow because I forgot a lot of what I had been doing four months ago! COMPETITIONS OVERVIEW LEAGUE TABLE First Half Results Second Half Results An excellent season in the league saw us finish comfortably in the top three. For much of the season we even led the league. However, an over-abundance of draws saw us fall short of the title. COPA DEL REY Results We didn't get very far at all before Barcelona sent us out of the competition. No big deal; the board didn't put any emphasis on this competition. CHAMPION'S LEAGUE Group A Table Results We easily qualified for the group stage after dispatching CSKA Moscow, but mixed results in the group stage knocked us out of this competition. Third was good enough to bring us to the Europa League. EUROPA LEAGUE Results We scraped our way through the stages and into the final...where we scraped by Barcelona to take home the trophy! (NOTE: If anybody still remembers my players, check out who scored the goal to allow us to eventually win) Best Eleven (4-2-3-1 wide, 2DM): Goalkeeper Bobby van Putten- Another solid season with more improvement from the wonderkid. Already an excellent goalkeeper before 21, he also had some excellent World Cup 2026 performances with the Dutch team. Defense Gary Baldwin (DR/DL)- I am weakest on my defensive wings, but Baldwin is doing quite well for a young player who was originally brought in for less than $2million. Guillermo Serrano (DC/DM/MC)- Yet another young player who hasn't yet reached his prime, Serrano has nonetheless been great for me in the middle of my defense. Really love his height! Eugene Maa Boumsong (DC)- In his sixth season with us, the Cameroonian remains a fixture in the team, but missed out on the World Cup. Lucas Digne (DL)- Being relatively weak at full-back, the veteran was brought in as a stopgap and as a tutor for younger fullbacks. Started slow, but had a good season overall. Midfield Boris Feigenwinter (DM/MC)- Has all the makings of a star for many years to come. Rodrigo Cartes (DM/MC)- Had a solid season in a position in which I have plenty of depth. Aitor Eraso (AMR/MR/AML)- A new signing for me, Eraso was excellent playing primarily on the right wing. Steffen Stokholm (AMC/ST/MC, Fans' Player of the Year)- Stokholm remains a fan favorite and with good reason. Excited to see this guy enter his prime years very shortly! Petar Dimitrov (AML/ML/AMR/MR)- With the club's riches, I probably could go out and find a winger with better attributes. But, can I really argue with the results I get from my young Bulgarian? Forwards Jesse Simmonds (World Golden Ball, European Player of the Year)- Simmonds was brought in for my largest-yet transfer fee. He duly delivered, banging in goals for both club and country while raking in the accolades. At only 24, he should only improve from here. TRANSFERS Big money spent this year on two big offensive signings, Aitor Eraso and Jesse Simmonds. I wanted a superstar striker to challenge for the title, and Simmonds fit the bill. Meanwhile. Aitor Eraso was brought in from Athletic to further bolster my attack- I also really wanted to bring local talent so I looked to our regional rivals. Left-back has been a constant problem for me, so veteran Lucas Digne was brought to the team to cover there. He's not a long-term option, but did just fine. Another PSG player, Suso, was brought in on a free and did well covering in the advanced midfield spots. FINANCES Awash with money....facilities improving. GOALS FOR 2026/27 - RECOVER: I forgot what I had been doing! I will be evaluating my team and will come up with more concrete goals as the next season progresses...

gb2003 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Finished the challenge from last year since 3 months. Too lazy to post an update in the old thread. Hope i bring my lazy a** to post the screens. Want to start the challenge again for fm 2015. Netherlands would be nice but without promotion is a little bit odd.

FloydRix Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Really had fun with this challenge Just completed it with Ecija in 27/28 season. We had won La Liga many times but had a few bad results in the CL. I know it might not be accepted cos I didn't update it every season but I have a save at the end of every season so I am happy to provide more information if anyone wants it!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the game, especially managing my local team and hope everyone else has enjoyed this as much as I did and will look forward to it next year. Feel free to ask any questions and I can load up the saved game at anyone’s request. Take care all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hey Guys, as you have noticed I haven't reallybeen playing this year, all the extra bits in the game have made it hard for me, and I seem to have lost the time and motivation to play FM. So in saying that I won't be purchasing FM16 at this stage, and think someone else should take over the running of the challenge. Sorry guys. If you need any help I am willing to participate where I can to help out, just give me a yell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikeologist Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 LLR - Sorry to hear that you're going to step back from this thread and challenge. I did this a few years back, and enjoyed the thread a lot. Also your first few posts are kind of the gold standard with the history, links and other helpful info. Your contribution to this whole CSE area has been huge and I want to thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRDH Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 LLR - Sad to hear that you're handing over responsibility for the big euro challenge. I'd love to have taken over the reins, but alas I'm also playing the game less and less recently due to work etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseemonsters1 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi Big Euro Challenge friends! As a frequent long-time lurker and sometime participant, I'd hate to see such a great challenge fall by the wayside. With that said, I know there are some people with a much longer history and much more claim to running the thing than I have. So, having had a quick chat with LLR, I'm offering my services to get the FM16 version off the ground. But I definitely want to be respectful to all the challenge regulars, so if any of you want to take over, I'm happy to stand aside! I'll give folks a little while to reply, so just reply in this thread if you want to go for it. If not, I'll get the new thread up and running in the next few days.

duccio Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I have been an on-and-off participant in Big Euro Challenge for many years, so thank you to LLR for making it possible. I have had many enjoyable saves, though I couldn't really get properly going on FM15. If iseemonsters1 wants to take over the challenge and keep it going, I have nothing against it.

iseemonsters1 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Seeing no objections, I should be posting the FM16 version tomorrow! I'm on US time so it might be late in the day for those of you across the pond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikeologist Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 ism1 - Good luck with the new thread. I remember a really cool map you did a season or two ago which showed where all the eligible clubs were. With graphic chops like that I'm sure the thread is in good hands.

Romanista1994 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 LLR - Thanks for all the work you've done on the challenge over the years, it's much appreciated! iseemonsters1 - Glad to see you take over from LLR, as vikeologist said, the thread will be in good hands. IOA - Congrats on completing the challenge in Turkey! I wish I had as well, but my computer issues meant I gradually lost interest in my save and FM in general.
