DazRTaylor Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 So I went to bed very early last night. I have given the wife a picture of me to remind her what I look like and have said goodbye to her. See you in a few months I said. Lets go. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazRTaylor Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 @darren1983Netherlands. As with last season, you need to holiday until 2024 as there is no relegation until then. The dates are the same as last year. Reset date is 6 July 2024. Holiday until 2 June 2024 to get different teams. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikeologist Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I've only managed 1 inter-squad match, but it looks as though increasing determination and work rate through finish may not work anymore. Have other disciplinarians who've gone further in noticed this change. It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. It did border on cheat code, but boy, was it useful for this challenge.

libbyshuss Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I've still got unfinished business in Belgium in FM21 but I can't resist starting a new save now the beta is out So...... I'm gonna have FM21 and FM22 open together and try and play simultaneously. let's see how that goes! For my first FM22 save I've gone back to the classics and back to England. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, it was borderline cheating, but I used it. Such an effective tool, I must have had 15-18 avg. in my Rimini squad on determination and work rate. Would like to hear back from other players if it still works, I haven't tried it yet on my squad so far, just forgot about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Well, I'm having a go in Turkey. Don't know if it will stick or not as I have plans to work on the lower leagues in Norway in the editor when it's out, but I'll play it for now. Let's see how it goes. So who did I pick to take over? Nananananananananannananna BATMAN! Yes, expect a fair few Batman puns as I've taken over Batman Petrol Spor! They are from the city of Batman, Turkey. Not far from the Syrian border, that seems nice and cozy... The club itself is not much to brag about. But it will be interesting anyway.

Have other disciplinarians who've gone further in noticed this change. so only got a sample of one match and one player but he got 6.3, i fined him, he said he'd improve and his work rate went up by 1. So, so far so good? I'll let you know once i've played a month or two how it looks I hope it still works, it might be a bit sneaky but it was really helpful in this challenge! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Is this right ? So basically I am starting this challenge with an English team and there are 5 teams promoted to the Vanarama North and 4 teams promoted to the Vanarama North. I don't know the lower league rules much. Is this cos of ramifications from Co-Vid and a lot of teams having to fold ? Or is this some sort of bug ? Lowestoft FC United Buxton Stourbridge Tamworth Bognor Regis Town Chesham United East Thurrock United Salisbury These are the teams.

Lowestoft FC United Buxton Stourbridge Tamworth Bognor Regis Town Chesham United East Thurrock United Salisbury These are the teams. It's a balance thing, usually would only be 8 teams but the national league south only starts with 21 teams so only 1 team goes down from each league season one, leagues go to 24 teams from season 2 (which will be the first season for this challenge) with the usual 4 down in each league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 2022/23 End of Season Review Well we blew that, didn't we? Two points from the final three games and we finish down in 6th, yet still just four points off of Trefelin BGC in what was a very close top 8! I'm still amazed with how we did this season, hopefully with more players we will actually have some depth next season! 2022/23 Best XI Jack Williams Dave Page - Danny Crofts - Martin Harbord - Gareth Llewellyn Geraint Williams Tony Owen - Nathan Hooper Hans Green Rhodri Davidson Alan Long 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
