Makoto Nakamura Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hello everyone and welcome to my first of hopefully 2 FM17 saves, this career will be through the BETA and up until a certain league expansion comes out and is all working well so maybe a month or 2? So what is this save going to be then? Well it's a journey in the Americas, it's as simple as that I may get sacked umpteen amount of times and I may win some silverware but who knows, we'll just have to go with the flow. I will be starting with the lowest reputation and no badges with every league in North and South America loaded to the lowest division (or only division in the case of Peru and USA). As well as loading all players based in North, South and Central America and the Caribbean. I'm starting in Brazil at the earliest date available which is late November. Let's learn!

Thanks LPQR The only downside is the Brazilian clubs all having 3 letter names, it may be a bit confusing managing there. 3 minutes ago, Jupjamie said: How long have you had that title ready for Too long, maybe 5-6 weeks?

dafuge Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 This was almost exactly what I was planning on! Should be interesting to see how it pans out, especially if we both stick at it throughout the year. As for the Brazilian names, there is a real names fix available elsewhere that might be worth looking at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this won't be my main save of FM17 but this should be going up until around December depending on a couple of things, I'm not entirely sure the Brazilian name fix works mid-game but I'll try it when I see it. As for jobs it's now January 2017 and I'm finally employed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1925 and 1929 he was champion becoming a recognized team throughout the department . In the early 1970s , the celestial La Paz decide to take a very important step, as it was incorporated into the AUF being the first team inside the country (not montevideano ) to join the Association tournaments. Within the Association, his greatest achievement was to participate in the Divisional "B" , where he had a great performance in 1980 under the technical direction of sr. Omar Brunetto, when finished fourth behindRampla Juniors , Racing and Liverpool with only three defeats. In addition, East was champion of the Divisional "C" in the years 2004 and 2007 ; without ascending because in those years was granted I not rise to theSecond Professional Division . Then he returned to be crowned in the season 2008 - 09 , this year itself was awarded the rise, but the club did not usufruct of it for not having support to meet the professional activity.That season the club had to play second, East remained without participating in any tournament. He returned to activity in the 2010-11 season, where in the middle of it he received a penalty removes 12 points, because of the incidents that ended with the death of a fan of Villa Teresa , after the match between both clubs in the Oriental Park of La Paz. After years of twists and turns of the hand of Adrian Fernandez Leal (DT) and Andres Furtado (AT), achieved the long-awaited promotion to the B (Second Professional Division) by winning the Apertura 2015 and Liguilla 2016, earning him the last date to Basañez by 3A0 in the stadium SPANISH CENTRAL (PARK PALERMO) with goals from Mauro Rodríguez and Gonzalo Da Luz on 2 occasions.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 February 2017 End of month odds: 14th - 400-1 It has been a long ol' time since I've actually played a match and not used an IR button, things have not started brightly with Diego Suarez saving our bacon twice to give us 2 points from a possible 9 but thankfully we're doing alright compared to the others at our level, especially since until a couple of days to go until our first match we couldn't field a full team! I made transfers! Gaston Soustuyo - Junior Giordano - Pablo Mas - Agustin Carballo - Christian Armada - Marcos Otegui - Bruno Bouchard - Facundo Gomez - Andres Acuna After all of these signings here is what our squad looks like.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 March 2017 End of month odds: 14th - 400-1 (Aren't these supposed to be dynamic?) We finally got a win It was a real smash and grab affair but we somehow see ourselves up in 6th which puts us in an early promotion playoff contention.

As a lot of you know, the situation regarding the German national team in the game can't be discussed for legal reasons. The same applies to Brazilian team names so people need to be careful what they post about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 May 2017 A tough month as we faced both 1st and 2nd in the league, we managed to beat 2nd placed Atenas de San Carlos and got our 1st loss in 10 games away to 1st placed Racing de Montevideo, very happy with just conceding the one goal though as we were soaking up a lot of pressure for the entire match!

Both of them are regens and the Cammeroonian has been released and the Algerian refuses to be released, 2 sub appearances are not worth £350 p/w...

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 June 2017 Just the 1 game and it's a disappointing home draw against the side in last, we went ahead twice but we just couldn't keep them away from our goal long enough.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 July 2017 Up into 3rd and just 2 points off of Cerro Largo although it certainly wouldn't have done us any favours by losing against them, it was a very tough month on paper with us facing 2nd, 6th and 9th away from home and 5th at home but we get 7 points from 12. Our odds have finally changed also, from 400-1 to 500-1 but we've gone from predicted 14th to predicted 12th. July is also the start of the transfer window so in come 3 players.

Bottom 3 teams (by average points over 2 years) go down. TV Money I've tried to make some wholesale changes to stand a chance at surviving. Diego Melian Mathias Goyeni - Mario Pechi - Esteban Garcia - Yonatthan Rak - Adrian Diaz Luciano Isola - Gonzalo Bazallo Gonzalo Sena - Alvaro Torres Sasha Aneff And here are the first 18 going into the first league games (we have a couple of suspensions.)
