You can play it as a youth only challenge also it is up to you. You need to post a screen shot of your manager profile as you must start with a sunday league reputation.

K13eke Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Cheddar FC - 2021/2022 Season Competitions: Western league division 1 (Tier 10): 1st Place FA Vase: 1st Qualifying Round - Knocked out FA Cup: Extra preliminary round - Knocked out Challenge Points: 15 Finances: -£6398 Transfers in: 0 Transfers out: 3 Season one saw Cheddar FC achieve promotion to the Western league premier division. This season was a bit of a shock considering I made the choice to only use players from my youth academy. The squad for the season had an average age of 22 and only 24 players used. This was a league record for both metrics. Finances took a bit of a hit this season, the wage bill was moving between £400 - £500 P/W and I put a lot of focus on getting a decent backroom team together which destroyed my outgoings each week/month. A little unsure of what to do next season and looking for your thoughts - Continue using youth only and see how things go or delve into the transfer market?

OugaBagga Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) New Mills 2024/2025 Wow a completely unexpected promotion this season, I had a squad revolt mid season as well due to me probably being a bit too harsh with a key player complaint and booting him out of the door and as a result I had a very unhappy squad and got rid of half of them League - 5th (promotion via a penalty shootout win after going down to 10 men) - 30 pts Cups - slightly disappointing performance in all the cups bar the league cup Total points - 75 Total trophies - 3 Edited January 2, 2022 by OugaBagga wrong screenshot for cups Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fmfan00 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 So we left at the brocton game on the 26th of November with Ellesmere... Then we reapplied for a Lv 10 Team... Took over Cove and took them from 12th to promotion. Dec 17th is when I took over Cove... We didn't get a chance to take part in the cups. Keep in mind I have a different set rules. I am allowed to bring in 6 loans only.. Other then that I cannot sign anyone else except for my youth intakes. The only time i can sign players is April every year and those are players I sign from Season loans that ive brought in thats the only way I can bring in players from outside of my club..

Certainly wasn't expecting to win the Vase. We started off slowly but once all the new lads gelled, we were superb.

That's probably a bit harsh as we did get FM'ed twice but what can you do. One thing I've noticed in my time at Lairds is the high turnover of players and how important your chief scout is. My chief scout has come up with some cracking recommendations, including Rob Harker who is an absolute beast up top.Transfers InTransfers OutResultsSquad Blondy Noukeu Jake Turner Jordan Allman Jake Nicholls Michael Agboola Tom Wilson Bjorn Hardley Abdi Sharif Raphael Nya Neal Eardley George Rounsfell Cameron Green Adam Clayton Luke Young Joe Conley Jack Young Elijah Dixon-Bonner Cameron Thompson Eddie Brown Rob Harker Michael Mellon Alan LawlorAwards wonRob Harker - North West Counties League Premier Division Top GoalscorerJohn Warrington - North West Counties League Premier Division Manager of the Month x5Rob Harker - North West Counties League Premier Division Player of the Month x3Michael Mellon - North West Counties League Premier Division Player of the Month x2Michael Mellon - North West Counties League Premier Division Young Player of the Month x3Managerial RecordGP 103 | GW 87 | GD 8 | GL 8 | GF 301 | GA 96 | GD 205 | Win % 84%Team StatsPlayer StatsInjury HistoryLeague TableClub AwardsMoments to RememberFinancesCommercialBest ElevenRecord BreakersManager PerformanceLeague AwardsLeague StatsManager of the SeasonPlayer of the SeasonYoung Player of the SeasonTop GoalscorerGolden Glove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debating if I should stick to my tactic or maybe 4-2-4 or 4-4-2 as i wanna stay 2 strikers lots to decide in off-season. Quite the challenge on just using loan players and Youth intake players as the only players I can bring in.

Reedo Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Ok, I'm in.

Druez Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) So, isle of man sounds like a cool place to start. Lets give this a shot. I did not disable attribute masking, seems weird to allow coaches to choose or not choose this option. I never play with the masking disabled, seems like it would be cheezie to do that, I'm sure I will struggle. Take care!

Vespertine Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hallam FC Hi all, going to take up this challenge with a youth only policy. I've chosen Hallam FC as they're the closest team available to me in the database and I've been to see them a few times in the past. Based in Sheffield, they're also famous for playing at the oldest surviving football ground in the world (Sandygate), playing in the first ever official match in England (lost 2-0 to Sheffield FC) and being the team Sean Bean's character Jimmy Muir was playing for when scouted by Sheffield United in the film 'When Saturday Comes'. Looking forward to this, thank you for the database file @lionel messi! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
