Rikulec Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 [FM23] Virtus Unita Fortior Yup, I'm back again after real life got in the way for me and led me to abandoning my first FM23 thread. As it's usually the case with me, I can't properly get into a save without commiting to an FMCU thread and I can't last too long without playing this damn game either. There's a chance some may remember this thread I did back in the FM19 days, where I started in Andorra and ended up dominating the country with Lusitans (who were basically a cheat club with Portuguese wonderkids coming through and tearing the league up) before moving on. This time I'm going with pretty much the same idea, only with the easy mode not available anymore. That's right, I'm coming back and I intend to do things properly. The Aim To get as far and win as much as possible within the footballing world starting as an unemployed manager with no coaching badges in Andorra. The Manager If you remember the guy I used on my FM19 Andorran save, well, here he is again. The Save A good variety of European leagues, hopefully this save will go on long enough for me to explore them. As usual, I'm going to holiday for a bit to get the game world going before I start applying for jobs in the second tier of Andorran football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikulec Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 This is already becoming a crazy timeline even before I've had the chance to play any games. Look at those World Cup knockouts! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikulec Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 I got my first interview in April and it's a team that's already doomed to relegation from the top tier, 14 points off the play-off spot with five games left to play. I told the board I'd like to take over after the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikulec Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Rico Alvarez's Management Career - New Club - Penya Encarnada d'Andorra Here we go. Club Name: Penya Encarnada d'AndorraNickname: EncarnadosYear Founded: 2009Status: Semi-professionalStadium: Centre d'Entrenament de la FAF 1 (236 all-seater) Don't get too attached to the names on this list because almost everyone has either already signed a contract with another club or expressed their desire to leave. Out of those who we might have a chance to retain, the best ones are Besjan Bërnaca, Peter Muñoz, and Daniel Rojas. We basically need to put together a whole new team for the next season. Oh, and to spice things up we don't have junior coaching or youth recruitment, meaning we don't produce newgens. Fun. We've just been relegated to the second tier and all the board want is not finishing bottom down there? What have I walked into? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikulec Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Rico Alvarez's Management Career - Pre-Season - 2023/24 - Penya Encarnada d'Andorra Friendlies Well, we did beat our second XI! Transfers No less than 14 players join the ranks, quite possibly the most I've ever signed in a single window. The best part is that they're all so bad that I won't even bother writing about them individually, I'll just show you the profiles. Complete and utter dross.

Rikulec Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Rico Alvarez's Management Career - September 2023 - Penya Encarnada d'Andorra Segona Divisió Not the most inspiring of starts. We did well against Carroi, but they were more clinical in front of goal and we had to rescue ourselves with a stoppage time penalty. Santa Coloma was a much more even game, but again, no luck. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
