lionel messi Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Has anyone who has reached the Regional 1st divisions found it very difficult to attract players? Barely any players will join saying my squad is not strong enough or my club reputation is not high enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydick Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Work plus real life non-league stuff has meant very little time to pursue glory with Redcar Town but I think I'm ready to resume.

Britrock Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 The first season is done and we won the league and cup double. Played a direct 4-4-f'ing-2 and Tommy Hutchings was the star, banging in 38 goals. Catholic Utd ran me close in the league, but with 10 games to go or so I did what every experienced FM player has done at some point and bought their star striker. He never played for me, but as long as he wasn't banging in the goals for them it was worth it. We've already turned semi-pro, which seems really early but fingers crossed we can keep rolling in level 10. Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie147 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 MERROW FC Another 1st place finish, but this was much tougher. We needed a draw on the final day of the season to secure the title ahead of Egham Town. For some reason we were not entered in to the Combined Counties Cup, and had early exits from both the FA Cup and the FA Vase. So, ahead we go into the Regional Leagues, the finances are still in the black (£40k ish), but I assume things will start to get tougher. I've got a bit of a rebuild to do also, as most of my best players were poached during the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britrock Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Another season, another league and cup double. This time the Eastern Counties League Division 1 South and the Eastern Counties League Cup. We won the league by an absolute mile, 20 points clear of second place. Bobbie Dale was probably the star player this year, knocking in 36 goals in 39 games. So many players got stolen from me during the season that our form dropped off in the second half, but as I'd won 20 out of 21 to start the year I had such a massive lead it didn't matter.

Britrock Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 In what may be my most disappointing FM moment of all time, we conspired to finish 3rd in the league, 2 points off promotion, having spent nigh on the entire season in the top 2. In our 3rd to last game we were 3-1 up on the team that finished 2nd at 90 minutes and managed to concede two late goals to draw 3-3. In the last game of the season we couldn't beat the team that finished second bottom and so fell out of the promotion places. I'm absolutely gutted. Sam Hedges was our standout player, scoring 40 league goals and 52 in total while averaging 7.68. I need to find some new players because a lot of my team were below average and averaged less than 6,8 over the season, but everyone I bring in is absolute rubbish at the moment. Scouting is difficult when you've got no money and rubbish scouts! Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OugaBagga Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 EOS 2 WHALEY BRIDGE UPDATE Totally dominated the league again, this time with 1 defeat and 1 draw, I lost approximately 60% of my team around Nov / December time due to them all being on non contracts but that was a blessing in disguise as I could then bring in higher quality players, I was expecting them to take a while to gel together but they played really well from the off, I also won the FA Vase but that was down to getting a lucky penalty late on against Ashington if I recall correctly. The league cup was an interesting one as it was a close fought local derby (next town over) against New Mills in the final which I managed to come on top in with a screamer of a goal, almost Paul Scholes like from Josh Campbell with a 25 yard strike.

If everyone told me what season they was in i could do it. This is how many seasons i have done. I have not played this save for quite a while, it is impossible to sign any players better than i already have.
