Declan Cahill Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Notes: I like taking over teams that haven't won the top league in their country before. And I like to start at a team that has a vacant position. Leagues Loaded: Hungary, Czech, Croatia. Spartacus FC are one of only a few teams to have never won the Hungarian league (in vanilla database). They have a vacant managers position so that's where I'm going to start.

Declan Cahill Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Board Expectations: 19/20 + 20/21 finish Top half Div 2. After that try get promoted. Stay within wage Budget. Financial: No transfer budget. Have just shy of 10k p/a left to spend... That could be tricky. Facilities all below average (training 6, youth 6 academy 4) Other info: Squad size 24. Young squad compared to most others in league. No B Team, No reserve/youth team. Out of the 24: 3 are Keepers and only 3 strikers, with the main one being on a non contract and wanted by 3 clubs.. Guess that's where the extra 10k p/a will go. Squad Analysis and possible tactics to come..... With screen shots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chose Czech because I fancy bringing Dukla Prague up and to the top of Czech league. Potential that job be available as need to be promoted first time of asking. Chose Croatia because I think they are one of the best footballing nations, many clubs have affiliates in Hungary, and also I fancied bringing up NK kustosija up in Croatia or if it is available Osijek.

There is a option you can untick so you can load more leagues while creating new game, can't remember what it was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Cahill Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Some Club Info.... Not Bad up front, and excellent depth in the middle.... absolutely desperate on the wings and full back. any injuries here will cost us big time looking at our attributes we have plenty of accel, pace, agility, aggression teamwork, work rate, jumping and heading. however we cant pass, cross, tackle, mark, shoot near or long, finishing is poor enough and of the ball isn't great either. So I have come up with a long ball gegenpress tactic.... in other words lots of running around when the opposition have the ball, and then if we regain possession smash it long to target man or wide players.... what could possibly go wrong???? then if we somehow find ourselves in the lead or come up against bigger teams I will play a more defensive version of the same tactic The friendlies await.....

Declan Cahill Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) First friendly, playing vs an amateur team, so should be winning anyway. played 4-4-2 all the way through (changed to defensive last 15mins)... balls over the top seemed to catch us out 3 or 4 times and better opposition might have punished us. only slight disappointment was our wanted top striker who played a stinker. the 2 star rated A: Toth was great when he came on. So it looks like I made a huge mistake already going by that performance. i've used up our remaining wage budget to try and keep him..... hasn't signed yet though Really does look good, can only assume it was his 5 positioning that let him down. though he did get on the ball a good bit. gut feeling is I will regret letting him go, deffo worth more than 350 quid. next update will be end of friendlies. cheers for reading Edited December 5, 2019 by Declan Cahill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
champion067 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Good luck, they got promoted first season on my save. No pressure there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Cahill Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 This save has been scrapped, main reason I've finally got fm20 full version working at a playable speed, no crashes, fewer long pauses, 2D doesn't freeze anymore so couldn't really be bothered playing on with this save. Sorry folks. Other reasons, kids, work, lack of internet. Thanks to those who read it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
