podunkboy Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Season over, will work on posting updates this weekend. Our extended appearance in the French Cup delayed the start of the next season. Considering that the game wouldn't let us actually register a useable squad due to "citizenship issues" (requiring me to holiday the French Cup games), we did okay. So watch this space for the updates. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 slight delay in the upload/update - last weekend wasn't GOOD at our house, and now Steam's giving me Steam Cloud errors to uploads, but I'm working on it this weekend (when I'm not trying to blow off my fingers with fireworks.) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 De Beauharnais to Bordeaux...in about 18 months. We win the Coupe de la Reunion. ...and our first league title. and we win this, which I think gets us into the actual French Cup competition. How about an invincible first season in the league? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

podunkboy Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 and then, after he sells off half the team, the president decides to step down Roland Garros punches his ticket out...in 2 years. our first continental (African) player of the year. and what the heck, Guillame Rees get a ticket off the island. and Jacques Hawx...will the last wonderkid turn out the lights? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Well, seems like the money's starting to roll in at Saint-Denis The Reunion National Team gets to play the occasional friendly, since we didn't qualify for the African League prior to Baker's arrival. no matter where they end up, Rock and Garros scored their first international goal for Reunion. Meanwhile, Lamas starts his international career at Martinique. and Petit-Homme turns out for French Guiana and X Alden caps for Guadeloupe 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without spoilering anything (because I'm a couple seasons ahead of my posted updates) there are 3 (soon to be 2) left at club. They're being sniffed by the French leagues, but most of the offers have been insulting. One actually just signed a contract extension, but you know how binding those contracts are if France (or Portugal or Saudi Arabia or China) comes calling.

Primarily Target Man, although he seemed to be productive even as a DLF or F9. Heck with this team and the right tactic, he'd probably be able to play goalkeeper. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

podunkboy Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Poor Crean can't catch a break - must have a high injury attribute. Britus Rock has his ear turned by the French national team...knew that this would start happening. we can't compete with the reputation of France, but it's sure going to be awkward around the Saint-Denis locker room. Roland Garros nets 4 for Reunion vs. Sao Tome and Principe Your offers, sirs, for Josu Crean are, quite frankly...doo doo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 The board decides Le Guieneen would LOVE to go to OM and provide them with another cash infusion. and Petit-Homme decides FCP in Portugal would suit his talents. "Walk the ball in"? We're outscoring our opponents by a 5 to 1 margin. Be careful how you speak, Bador... Crean scores a hat trick as we "walk the ball into the goal"....7 times. things are going great...how about the threat of a takeover? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 De Beauharnais sets a Saint-Denis record for goals in a game with a full five fingers. Say hello to the new boss...same as the old boss... We're in the ACTUAL FRENCH CUP...playing a semi-pro team out of Tahiti. And when you go to PLAY the French Cup game...you run into THIS: (Note regarding the French Cup: a bug in the French Cup code ALLOWS teams from overseas territories to qualify for and play in the cup, but the territories are all marked as "foreign" despite them being French territories. Sports Interactive isn't going to fix it in FM 21, so all I can do is set an "ineligible" line-up and holiday a day and let the game sim it. Because we have very few French players (and no EU-eligible ones) and I'm not playing a game with greyed-out players.) a hard-fought battle, I shall not speak lightly of Tahiti ever again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 and so we qualify for next season's French Cup while still playing in this season's... and we clinch the league with a 10-0 win. and Crean nets a perfect 10. Senior international call-ups Next round in the French Cup is a laugher, 11-0, Crean with 5 assists 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Probably our last chance at an Invincible season as the Dozen begin to leave. New owner decides to cut our payroll to 1/3 last year's but STILL wants us to sign "high-profile" players...in Reunion. Rock wins the "Inter-African Club Player of the Year". Le Guieneen bids us a fond adieu while he runs directly to France. and Rock goes to Havre FC. Xavier Alden wins PoM in French Cup penalty thriller. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
corinthiano Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Wow, didn't expect Le Guinieen to be signed up by Marseille, wonder if he will get enough playing time. Some of the players signing for smaller clubs might develop quicker as they get more game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

podunkboy Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 Xavier Alden wins Gold Cup Keeper of the tournament Le Guineen gets loaned to Chicago (MLS) Oh, wait, forgot to mention Le Guineen was signed by Man Utd under 18s first... the next African Cup of Nations qualifying starts with a brace by Garros Marijo Cheezy gets his first cap for Martinique. (just noticed that somehow we jumped from 2022 to 2023, need to figure out where I lost a year and whether or not anything that great happened, aside from Saint Denis winning everything and all the remaining "Dozen" move on. If not, I'll just keep running... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
corinthiano Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I was wondering how Le Guineen moved so quickly between Marseille, Man Utd and then Chicago! Makes sense now that you said you skipped a year. Did Le Guineen make any first team appearances at Marseille? MLS for a year is probably a good move, get some regular football in before trying to get into that Man Utd first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
