Giveit2Giroud Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 End of Season 1 Update @6499red National team achievements: Win a game, Win a competitive game Great to see so many people involved in the challenge. The real life reforming of the club as well as claasen's database being up so early has done wonders You all seem to be doing really well too - I haven't started quite as successfully but its a marathon not a sprint On with the results... Country: Spoiler World Cup qualifying campaign: The only game we had any chance of a result was Andorra and so I'm happy to have ticked off the challenges first NT achievements by beating them. Although we expected to get battered in all the other games that didn't make sitting through them any less depressing. Clearly when you have only one outfielder who is paid full time to play football there's only so much tactics can do so Filippo Berardi's return from injury ahead of the nations league cant come soon enough. Although its not an official achievement the milestone I find myself working towards with the national side is getting to a place where we can consistently field a team of people paid to play football as their full-time job. Club: Spoiler Eccellenza The final table is actually quite generous after a disaster of a campaign. Building a system in pre-season to take advantage of the two most talented players at the club in attack (Prandeli, Voinea) worked great in theory until they both suffered month long injuries in the final friendly. Another injury crisis in November forced us to play that month of fixtures without a fit centre back. It became apparent embarrassingly early into the season that the only priority was to slog through to the end at which every member of the squads contracts expire and we can rebuild. In fact, as of the 15th may 2022 I am yet to offer an extension to a single player or staff member already at the club and I expect only a few will get that offer. Next season after a summer rebuild and providing key players stay fit there is no excuse not to mount a serious title charge One small silver lining is the fact that in our last 2 fixtures of the season - after we were out of the title race - we were able to grind out wins against the champions and the team that finished in 3rd place. Hopefully we can take that form into next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that helps their development a bit and then perhaps the National Team, then it might be a good thing. The dynamic youth ratings are going to change this challenge, I believe. I've also been thinking about how to play it. I'm pretty sure if I'm aggressive in the loan market, I could push up the leagues fairly quickly. But, if I'm in Serie C, B or even A - would I completely leave all my youth players behind? In FM19, even in 2044 or whatever year I got to, I was getting Serie C level players in my intakes - and if I played them in the first team, they were hidden. I don't think that will happen in FM22 - but let's say in 5 years time with only minimal National Team success, the dynamic youth ratings aren't going to have gone through the roof. But perhaps they might help enough to give me some first team players for Victor San Marino - but perhaps not if I'm too high up the leagues. So, tons of different ways to approach this challenge - and dynamic youth ratings add a new complexity that I have been thinking quite a lot about in the last couple days, despite the fact I'm still in November of season 1! Main thing is you are having fun playing the challenge. There are ups and downs along the long road - but it feels like there's a good buzz this year with it being "real" for the first time since FM19 - so great to have you onboard! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duesouth Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 San Marino vs England San Marino possession = 65% England possession = 35% Surely I get something for that? Oh - the score.

robterrace Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The 5 star potential is relative to your current side.
