[FM17] The Ultimate Alphabet Challenge

Recommended Posts

Inspired by @PaulHartman71's excellent alphabet challenge on FM15...

Young Harry was about to embark on an adventure through the alphabetical world of football management. He had heard stories, legends, of managers in the past travelling that fabled path of a club for each letter of the alphabet, but this time was different. His extreme need for a sequence in his career was stronger than those that went before him. A club for each letter of the alphabet was not enough. No, Harry dreamed of a Porto team of Pogbas and Pienaars, a Bourtnemouth side with a core of Balotelli and Bale. He did fleetingly worry about his jobs at Xanthi and QPR and the work he would have to do there, but he quickly buried that thought - he would deal with that when it came to it. He breathed a sigh of satisfaction as he imagined his first team sheet filled with sweet A's.

Rules:

- The clubs I manage must begin with the letters of the alphabet in order (AEK, Barcelona, Chelsea etc)

- I can only sign players with a surname beginning with the letter of that club (for example, if I was at Mansfield then I could sign Messi but not Ronaldo)

- I can select the players already at the club when I arrive regardless of their name until I find a better name fit for that position

- Must spend at least 365 days at a club before I can move on

First club Atletico Madrid...

Let the annihilation begin.

I wanted it to be a bit different :D

 

haha fair play, will be interesting to see how you get on. The only tip I'd give would be patience. The A-Z challenge is not necessarily the hardest challenge (although you've added in a few layers that will certainly make it quite difficult :D ), but it does take a lot of time even if you fly through the seasons and what not. It's worth sticking with through the rough patches and when you feel like packing it in for something different though.

After trying this out, I think I may have been a bit too optimistic :D I don't think it's viable at all as it means selling off all my best players as fast as possible and that crushes morale and i get sacked instantly :D Or i use my players I have already got but then that's just like a normal alphabet challenge but with extremely limited and boring signings..

I think perhaps I may just do the traditional alphabet challenge and post my story so you can see where it takes me.
