ashlfcowen Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) EVERYONE: "Rob, Ryan, are you serious about buying Wrexham AFC?" THEM: “This is the third oldest professional football club on Earth that plays in the oldest international stadium on earth. It is serious business to each and every person. I don't care whether you're five years old in Wrexham or you're 95 years old. There is a passion. Wrexham A.F.C. is running through the blood of every person out there.” I think that reply perfectly sums up how serious they are about this project. Welcome to the Wrexham AFC FM23 Thread History Wrexham Football Club is no ordinary football club. Founded in 1864, just one year after the Football Association first met and the Laws of the Game were first written, Wrexham is the third oldest professional football club in the world. Over the years, the team and its ever-loyal supporters have experienced together the joy of victory, the frustration of near success and the despair that follows defeat. The fans have cheered each time a goal has'hit the back of the opposing team's net. When Wrexham have been ahead, they have anxiously counted down those final, seemingly endless minutes of injury time before exploding with joy as the final whistle blows. They have never given up; even when all hope of victory has slipped away. Wrexham fans have witnessed the highs and the lows that are the milestones in the story of every football club. Despite having phenomenal success as a Welsh club, competing in Welsh competitions - their success as a club playing in the English Leagues when they moved over in 1905 leaves a lot more to be desired. 37 of their 40 trophies have come from competing against other Welsh teams. Stadium Regarded by the Guinness Book of Records as football’s oldest ground still to be in use, this venue dates back to 1807. Very impressive even if taking into account that first football match in fact took place in 1872. Before that, as name suggests, it was a horse racing and also cricket stadium. With a capacity of 15,500 - it boasts more seats than some Premier League stadiums so you’re well equipped here until you hit capacity and the demand is there for a new stadium. The training facilities are good and the youth facilities adequate. Board expectation and club vision Whether you like it or not – the absolute priority for both the board and supporters is promotion. If you have watched the Disney+ documentary “Welcome to Wrexham’ you’ll know that without promotion, this club will haemorrhage money. (If you haven't - please do, it's a great watch) I’m pretty certain that you’ll only be given one chance to get promoted or you’ll be sent packing with your P45. The good thing is, the starting squad you possess is more than capable of promotion. The media seem to think so anyway with 8 of your players making up their Dream Team 11. But if you’re not happy with it - you start with a hefty transfer budget for this level and the available wage bill isn’t bad either. You have plenty of scope to improve the team should you feel the need to. I Chesterfield and Notts Country are likely the two team to keep you on your toes for that top place finish. It’s safe to say the club supporters’ demands are high level, who expect a certain style of football to be played. They want an internal focus on players and they want specific results against specific opposition! Do not let them down. The board are less bothered - they just want promotion. Promotion or bust (for you) Edited November 7, 2022 by ashlfcowen 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlfcowen Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Squad Analysis 2021/22 Squad Picture Goalkeepers Rob Lainton Out with an injury from a dislocated wrist he fractured last season. He should be back within 5-8 weeks from the start of the game, however his injury has definitely impacted how he is rated on this year’s version of FM. Comfortably one of the best keepers in the league on his day, but at 32 years of age with a significant injury to return from I would say that this is the area you should look at investing in. Until Rob Lainton is back, the well travelled Mark Howard should provide adequate cover. I would look to sell Watson and Dibble. Defenders Aaron Hayden is your main man here. He should find a good centre-back partner in either Tozer, Tunnicliffe, Hall-Johnson or Lennon however there is a 19-year-old in your youth called Scott Butler who has great potential and could exceed the current ability of all of the above. So I would argue that you are probably overstacked at this position and should look to offload either Tunnicliffe, Hall-Johnson or Lennon. McFadzean and Forde are more than good enough to start as your full-backs with Hosannah and Mendy providing good enough cover until you want to upgrade here. Midfielders Thomas O’Connor, signed for an undisclosed amount from league one team Burton speaks volumes. He's your best midfielder. Elliott Lee dropped down 2 leagues to come and play for Wrexham and should either be playing as one of your strikers or as an attacking midfielder. Jordan Davies is the clubs’ wonderboy having come from their youth team. Despite lacking in certain mental attributes he definitely makes up for in technical and physical. James Jones starts on the transfer list, which personally I would remove him from because he has a part to play in your squad. Luke Young, the current club captain is likely to be your 4-5th choice starter here but is good enough to offer cover across the course of the season. Strikers “We’ve got Mullin, Super Paul Mullin!” Okay this man is good. In fact, godly at this level and he should be your number one striker until you hit Championship Level, and I would argue he could even do a job there. When his contract at Cambridge expired, he was the top scorer in League One. He’s too good for this level and should comfortably be leading you to promotion. Ollie Palmer - is the perfect striker to complement Mullin. He is a mental specimen but unfortunately moves like a cruise ship. If you focus on a tactic that gets the best out of Palmer and Mullin you should find your first year at the Racecourse easy. Elliott Lee, who arguably is better suited to an attacking midfield role than striker can offer some variety up front along with Sam Dalby who could be both Palmer and Dalby’s understudy. You then have Liam McAlinden who probably won’t start much for you. Transfer Recommendations: I would be making a proper ball-winning DM and a goalkeeper my priority in your first transfer window. Under 21s and Youth Other than Butler, who we discussed could partner Hayden as a centre back, the only other prospect is Dan Davies however I can't be certain whether his PA is random.

ashlfcowen Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Tactics So putting it all together... Other than Jordan Davies, the club lack any natural wingers or players who can play out wide and cut inside. You do have Liam McAlinden as an option if you wanted to opt for a wider shape, but personally I don't think he's not good enough to start for you. Jacob Mendy could be player further up the field as he has the ability to, however based on the current squad quota going with a narrow formation would be your best bet. Either a Diamond (4-1-2-1-2) or a Brazilian Box formation. (4-2-2-2) You definitely want to do your best to fit Mullin and Palmer in the same team hence why I recommend a 2-striker system. The average pace of your central defender is not great, so playing a high-line at this level where pace is so important I think would be risky. I think your centre backs would get exposed. Comparatively to the rest of the league your squad is fit so you will be able to get away with playing a system that presses however I decided not to do that too high up the pitch as I wanted some compactness in the middle so I could trigger press there. I am no tactical genius and the 4-2-2-2 Box formation is basically one I took from @Cleon's book. I just wanted to use an example of how you could set the team up based on it's strengths.

ashlfcowen Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Season One - Done We brought in 9 players in total, however only 3 of them walked into our XI. Mungo Bridge, who we brought in for free having not make the cut at Aston Villa. George Marsh, who used up most of our budget. £135k upfront, with another £25k to be paid in 12 months. This is that defensive midfielder I recommended you all bought. And finally, John Bostock who actually won his first International cap playing for us! After free signing after being released from Doncaster. Which saw us line up at full strength like this: We achieved what the board wanted And I was able to get that combo of Mullin + Palmer firing! Muller with 48 in 45 games (9 assists) and Palmer with 25 in 49 with 15 assists. I'm not entirely convinced I can walk into League Two without any first team additions. The priority has to be two fullbacks capable of getting up and down the line all day. Something I noticed using the setup I did is that if those two are having an off day, the whole team had one.

Paul Mullen blitzed his way through the Vanarama and curently doing a tidy job in L2. I Currently sit 2nd in League 2 with ~20 games to go, looking for back to back promotions.

AliG Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I've just started my own Wrexham save this week before reading anything online about them. I'm about 8 games into the season and pretty set with my first season squad so wanted to see what sort of moves others had made. Like some on here I took advantage of the free agent market and bought in Mungo Bridge, John Bostock, Cole Dasilva and Jerome Sinclair. I have settled on a 4-2-1-2 narrow diamond although I'm currently trying out Sinclair in a F9 spot between Palmer and Mullin as Elliot Lee has been ineffective in the AM role. I even managed to bring in Daniel Sturridge on a trial during the preseason but he was useless so he went back to being a free agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audioboxer Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Lads, I think Mullin might need nerfed. I changed formation in league two after getting in some more wider players, so Mullin went to sole striker. Likely explains drastic drop in assists. I found in the national league playing a narrow setup worked best due to lack of wide players/wide players with pace. I always start my FM saves with transfer window disabled till January. I can't say the Hollywood owners pump too much money into the account, but they did clear off my debts at the end of league two with a cash injection. Very expensive league when you look to bulk up the squad with better quality/wages after getting out of the national league. Will see what happens whenever I make it into the championship. Relying on a new squad of free transfers at that point might be wishful thinking lol. Edited November 11, 2022 by Audioboxer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audioboxer Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Looks like the owners change from what I suspect is back end sugar daddy (would explain them wiping my debts during promotion cycles) to underwriter once you are in the premier league. I got a message to say they won't be putting as much money in the club as before Premier league is the real end game, it's tough. Concede quite a few goals to the big six by getting battered lol. But prem league money is amazing, I guess that's why the owners decide the club can run itself now.

Been a while since I've done a save this low in England (maybe 5 years?) so took me a while to get back to grips with it, but I've brought some staff in first on 1-2 year contracts as the staffing isn't great, plus they start with zero scouts, most notibly I've brought in: Julian Dicks (Coach) Luke Walker (Head Physio) Tommy Miller (Chief Scout) Erwin Vandenbergh (Scout) Kevin Paton (Scout) Joseph Simmonds (Scout) Anwar Uddin (U18s Manager) Spencer Prior (U2s Manager) In terms of Transfers, I've not spent much, just put more into wages to sign some very good free transfers, only player I've spent money on so far is Joe Hilton for £3,000 - leaving me with £158,896 left in my budget: I'm only a few games in but Danny Simpson has been incredible, 2 goal and 2 assists in his first 3 games from right-back and Adam Wharton on loan is brilliant at this level for DM.

FancyPantsCam Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Like many here, Wrexham is too interesting to pass up but, I’m adding a little extra twist into my journey up the leagues with Rob and Ryan. That transfer budget can go straight into wages because it’s no transfer fees until we hit European competition. Yep, even if we make it to the promised land of the Prem, only frees for me! Won’t really have an impact now, but it’s gonna make those last steps way harder. After the first summer, that hefty wage budget is coming in all sorts of useful. In come George McEachran, Andre Wisdom and Jerome Sinclair, who all have no business being this far down the pyramid. Fingers crossed the first year goes as well as everyone else.
