Agreed, we won't have any players coming through the youth intake for quite some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 2021/22 End of Season Review I expected us to falter after winning the title but if anything the players were even more fired up, onward to the Vanarama South! 2021/22 Best XI Liam Driscoll Kodi Lyons-Foster - Jason Pearce - Tom Davies - Khari Allen Callum Coyle Dylan Duncan - Charlie Lakin Tyler Frost Jonny Smith Michael Tait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToMexico!! Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 A wild squad already! I can remember a few editions ago doing my AC London save that Loughborough Uni signed Wayne Rooney on an amateur contract. Think I'll go back and see if I can find it on here.

I don't think we'll be able to keep this calibre of players so this transfer window will be very interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very interesting challenge. I remember back in FM 2015 (?) I ran a sim for a future save of the English lower leagues, and Corinthian Casuals made it to League 1 as an amateur team. If the AI can do it, so can you! If the AI can get to League 1, @Makoto Nakamurawill have won the Champions League by page 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez we are about to see all sorts of records being broken! He couldn't even get a game ahead of Tait, but now Tait has gone to Oxford maybe we will see more of him, [Edited] (or maybe not now that he has been released). I think with the nature of this save you will possibly have to have multiple players waiting in the wings ready to step in where players A and B in a particular position both get poached. Elliot Johnson a VERY good signing at that level. Brilliant player and brilliant bloke. Edited April 7, 2020 by Jimbokav1971 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the most realistic it could be would be with Corinthian-Casuals since they start in the 7th tier and can become playable after holidaying for a season.
