Popular Post dafuge Posted November 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2019 The Aim To take a small club who were previously unplayable in an unedited game from the Vanarama National League North/South to Premier League and Champions League glory. The Rules Start the game unemployed and choose the advanced setup. Like last year, you have the option of loading whatever leagues you like at the start and throughout the game. All of the boxes should be left unticked apart from 'do not add key staff' and 'prevent use of in-game editor'. It should look like this. Just like previous years, the players for the newly playable clubs need to be added which can be done using the 'advanced' option on the database size. The players from the four feeder league have to be added, which looks like this (the other two are right at the bottom). You can also add anything else you like to increase the size of the database. The extra levels of detail that you can change while in the game are up to you, as they shouldn't make a difference. Add yourself as an unemployed manager, the details are not important at all. I like to call mine 'Holiday Man'. Go on holiday until 30th May (this is when the promoted clubs are decided), save the game then go on holiday until 24th June (this is when the promoted clubs are revealed). Unfortunately due to a change in the game, this gap will need to be repeated when reloading for different teams. Retire your 'Holiday Man' manager allowing him to finish his career unbeaten. Add a new manager, the personal details are completely up to you but I would expect people to use their own true nationalities and languages spoken. Coaching badges must be set to 'None', with past playing experience set as 'Sunday League Footballer'. The coaching attributes are completely up to you. Choose one of the new clubs promoted to the Vanarama North or South to manage. A quick way to check the new teams is to find the 'England Overview' screen, then the 'season summary'. Just above the FA Cup summary you should find a list of the nine newly promoted teams. They should appear in this list which shows the reputation of the possible clubs. The reputation should act as a difficulty level. The lower the reputation, the harder your game should be. Reputations updated for FM20 release: Isthmian League Premier Division Bishop's Stortford 1850 Bognor Regis 2100 Bowers & Pitsea 1300 Brightlingsea 1700 Carshalton 2000 Cheshunt 1750 Corinthian-Casuals 1700 Cray 1850 East Thurrock 2100 Enfield Town 2000 Folkstone 1950 Haringey Borough 1950 Hornchurch 2050 Horsham 1600 Kingstonian 2450 Leatherhead 1950 Lewes 1900 Margate 2050 Merstham 1750 Potters Bar 1550 Wingate & Finchley 1750 Worthing 1900 Southern Football League Premier Division Central AFC Rushden & Diamonds 1600 Alvechurch 1600 Banbury 1750 Barwell 1850 Biggleswade Town 1900 Bromsgrove Sporting 1500 Coalville 1800 Hednesford 2000 Hitchin 2000 Kings Langley 1850 Leiston 1800 Lowestoft 2100 Needham Market 1850 Nuneaton Borough 2350 Peterborough Sports 1600 Redditch 1900 Royston 1850 Rushall 1900 St. Ives 1750 Stourbridge 2000 Stratford 1750 Tamworth 2250 Southern Football League Premier Division South Beaconsfield 1600 Blackfield 1050 Chesham 2250 Dorchester 1950 Farnborough 2100 Gosport 2200 Harrow 1850 Hartney Wintney 1500 Hayes & Yeading 1850 Hendon 2200 Merthyr 2250 Met Police 1950 Poole 2100 Salisbury 2250 Swindon Supermarine 1650 Taunton 1700 Tiverton 1850 Truro 2300 Walton Casuals 1550 Weston-super-Mare 2100 Wimbourne 1500 Yate Town 1450 Northern Premier League Premier Division Ashton United 2150 Atherton Collieries 1750 Bamber Bridge 1850 Basford 2000 Buxton 2050 FC United 2350 Gainsborough Trinity 2250 Grantham 2000 Hyde Utd 2050 Lancaster 1900 Matlock 2000 Mickleover 1900 Morpeth 1750 Nantwich 2050 Radcliffe 1750 Scarborough Athletic 2100 South Shields 2150 Stafford 1950 Stalybridge 2000 Warrington 2150 Whitby 2000 Witton 1950 It is now up to you to manage this club all the way to the Premier League title and UEFA Champions League crown. The challenge is complete once you have won both competitions, this does not need to happen in the same season. You may not move clubs unless you are sacked. If you get sacked, you can either take over a newly promoted club that satisfies the original criteria (check the club's league history), or just start again. Any form of international management is not allowed, until you have completed the challenge. Assigning parent clubs and loaning players is completely up to the player, although it should be noted that on occasions a parent club can lend players which will make the first season or two slightly less of a challenge. It is completely up to you how you play this one. Personally, I like to assign a parent club for financial benefits but never take any players on loan from them. To sign a player, you must be able to scout them, this doesn't mean you have to, just he must be accessible to your scouts. If you have a foreign player on a free transfer who is willing to come on trial, you do not need to be able to scout them, as long as you have them at the club on trial so you can get a coach report on him. If an agent offers you a player, you can sign him without scouting him. No external utilities such as scouting programs should be used and the database should be unedited (with the exception of cosmetic changes which cannot be discussed here). Should SI release a data update, this would be allowed but any other data updates are not. Use of save game editors is strictly banned, whatever the reason. Ticking that box at the start should see to this. Rules for this Thread Player naming is allowed. General discussion on tactics is allowed, although people should not refer to downloaded tactics. They are not banned, but I would expect the majority of people to avoid them. When you join the challenge, post a screenshot of your manager's profile on the 24th June like this. Progress of your club should be documented using this thread, we want to hear the story of your club all the way through. Please keep us updated, even if you are doing really badly. At the end of every season, could everyone post some kind of season review, including at least a screenshot of a league table and the clubs transfer page. If you give this a title in bold it makes it a bit easier to pick out. How to Post a Screenshot While in FM, press Alt and S A picture will be saved to a screenshots folder, in the FM20 folder in your documents Upload the image to an image hosting website such as Imgur Post the direct Url to the image here.

SuperRedditch Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Tried a few clubs in FM20 and nothing is sticking, so here I am managing.... ....Redditch, Of course. Signed a few crackers already. Gonna walk this league I reckon (famous last words). Pace and Space is the plan at this level. Pacey players all over the pitch, every position, and play the ball direct into space to exploit the slow semi-professional defences.

anagain Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 14 minutes ago, deadfncat said: This game reminding me how terrible I am at tactics Any ideas on what to focus on for low level crap players? Just the basics. Pace and long balls; strength and a robust midfield. The simplest formations are often the best at this level. I'm going for a counter attacking formation with IF and a PF up front. In midfield I have the basics of a box to box and central midfield, and an anchor man to support the defence should the fullbacks get a chance to get forward. I wouldn't mind a DLF or a TM, but I'm a little short on strikers. Against the better teams I can just sit back and frustrate whilst ping balls forward to pacey wide men. If I'm hopeful of a win I can let the midfield be more attacking. A strong TM will be a very good asset at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scab Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Giving this a go with St. Ives. In light of FM20 seemingly focusing on the long term, I'll be trying to do this in combination with the youth academy challenge. I have a tendency to not finish these challenges, so maybe a slower-burn club-culture-building approach will be a better fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zilla Blitz Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I'm going to give this a shot as well, thanks for the new thread for FM20! Rather than assigning myself to a newly promoted team, I'm going to create a manager with those starting characteristics, run the save until June, then apply for jobs at the newly promoted teams. I tested this with the beta version and four of the new teams that came up had manager vacancies. I was able to get job offers from three of them even though I was Sunday League/no badges/no experience. For me, that'll create a bit more of an edge to the start, not knowing where I might begin. I am going to start on the 19th/20th, with the full release. Really looking forward to this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebaker Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Has anyone on this thread noticed any teams with very good facilities which seem like a bug.

That does seem like a bug, unless it's the 190 appearance fee that's calculated in to the wage limit? The appearance fee seems on the high end, but yeah, it doesn't seem like something the board should be worried about. Maybe worth reporting? Speaking of Josh Kelly, I signed him this year on my current Hampton & Richmond team in FM19, in 2024 now. He's had a decent year for us in the Vanarama South, second in the team in scoring, mostly from an inside forward position in a 4-2-4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty happy with my starting 11 but I know that I’ll lose some of my key players over the season as they are on non-contracts. Currently trying to get rid of some of the weaker players who are taking up too much of my wage budget, who just so happen to be influential figures in my squad so I can’t foresee any issues there... I’ve managed non league several times and the thing to remember is to not get attached to anyone because you’ll either lose them on a free or they will be redundant the next season. It’s also not worth signing a 5 star potential player because initially you need to think short term and not waste your budget on someone who may never play a role. Haven’t managed to pick up anyone on loan yet because I’m quickly running out of scouting budget. Hoping to get a parent club soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
