Hitbox Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Great to be starting this challenge again. Kicking off things with AFC St Austell, a club with a long, dare I say, pointless history. The Lillywhites play at the 6,000 capacity Poltair Park, and have no plans to move for the foreseeable future. St Austell have no scouting network to speak of, and being based in the depths of Cornwall, there are very few neighbouring clubs of note to build relationships with. Self-imposed restrictions include: All staff through job adverts No use of player search - all players through scout reports, intermediary suggestions, inbox items, Director of Football suggestions One in one out on player signings - maintain a squad that has at most a first XI and backup XI. If a player comes in, the incumbent needs to go out before any other signings can be made 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samrnpage Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I have restarted the save, clicked "pick club for me" and went with the first level 10 team it landed on and I got...... Spartans Youth FC! a very small club based in Watford/North London which I'd have never picked myself. They play in bright green home kit as well! they groundshare with Northwood at a 3000 seater stadium, although attendances have been as low as 15 in the league this season Already started the save about 8 games into the season, doing well. Signed some class 16 year old regens that were sat around in the free agent pool out of nowhere. Haemorrhaging money though, so an FA Vase run is a must.

vikeologist Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) Vikeologist's 2023 Canterbury 2023/24 Tales Halfway through the season, with 14 wins and 1 draw I was feeling pretty confident, but then I looked at the table and realised that there was a side, Croydon, only 3 points behind me. What the hell! Even worse, we soon lost to Croydon and it was neck and neck from there on. Croydon pulled ahead with about 5 matches to go and kept winning. We went into the last match of the season a point behind and I was resigned to having to navigate the playoffs. However, they lost, we won, and we were champions. An unexpected reprieve. I’ve briefly done this challenge before, but there’s a lot to learn. I’ve taken note of comments from other people on this thread. There’s no answer to the finances. We did ok in the cups, but I’m not sure progressing even further would have helped much. But at the moment, the board isn’t panicking about the debt. We had the second lowest average attendance in the division. I’m not sure this will improve much until we’re able to build a stadium in Canterbury. (The board is looking to build one, but I'm not sure that will happen any time soon). Losing players is a pain, and brining new ones in takes a lot of time. Top Goalscorer (21) / Highest Average Rating (minimum 10 matches played)(7.66) / Man of The Match (10) / MVP - Nico Cotton One of the few legacy players to stay, but he is by far our best player. The reason he stayed is that he’s on a crazy £100 per match, albeit non-contract. Still, I might as well hang on to him.

Points Total - 15 Finances are a tricky thing in the non league era of this challenge. Unless you are going with a club who get 200-300+ attendances every game from level 10, which there are quite a few (Wakefield/Clapton Community/Droylsden/Newcastle Blue Star all get over 300+ every game) or a financial takeover, there is only 1 way to make ends meet, and that is an FA Cup/Trophy/Vase run. In the past I use to fully stress out about financials, focus on cup runs to a detriment to league form, release key players on high wages etc. However I have learnt to just forget about finances and go mental with signings and players, the key is to get to the National League N/S as quickly as possible. After that even with the smallest of teams (I have had sub 200 attendances even at Vanarama South level) you can break even with crude wages and loans, as there will be some clubs bringing 500 away fans, easier to get some money from cup runs as you can get to the latter stages of the FA Trophy and FA Cup Edited December 15, 2023 by samrnpage Forgot last word Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samrnpage Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) SPARTANS YOUTH 2023/2024 SEASON SUMMARY - SPARTANS GET PROMOTED TO HIGHEST LEVEL IN CLUBS HISTORY! 1st season complete and we get promoted as champions despite some bad form towards the end. The league was a slug but it was comfortable at no point was I stressed about promotion as the top 4 got promoted (I am guessing due to the restructure next season? @lionel messi)? I was very confident in the FA Vase but lost to Tadley Calleva in the last 16 - cup football eh! We needed the money as well as I have finished the season £44,000 in the red. If I got to the final of the Vase I would have broke even! The county cup I didn't really bother with and rotated players on. Still got to the semi final. Season summary: League - 1st, Champions and Promoted Fa Vase - 5th Round lost to Tadley Calleva County Cup - Semi Final lost to Farnham Town Top scorer - Jack Golden, 44 goals in all competitions, 30 in league Top assists - Bailey Weale, 30 assists in all competitions, 21 in league Best player - Shabz Race, 27 goals, 23 assists in all competitions Biggest win - Spartans 9-0 Sporting Bengal united, FA Vase 2nd Qualifying round Biggest defeat - Spartans 1 - 4 Amersham Town, Combined counties league Div 1 Average attendance - 24 (yikes!) less than 1% of my stadium capacity! Finances - -£44,957 Won manager of the season Won manager of the month 4 times Next season:- Will have to put a bit of focus on the FA Cup and FA Vase next year for financial reasons, but looking forward to it. My wage budget has doubled as well and you bet I will be using all of it to get back to back promotions (hopefully!!) So far a very enjoyable save. Going through pre-season, the club has a takeover bid from a fans trust - all 24 of our fans grouping together to make it a fan owned club! Love to see it. Hopefully we get more money?!

Siepe1990 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Season 1 is done, can't complain as to how it went... Due to stellar performances from my strikers Bacon & Waud (already at the Zebra's when I joined) and outstanding performances by newcomers Whitham (ex Sheffield Wednesday), Turrell (ex Boston United) and Howe (ex Middlesbrough) we managed to win the Northern Counties East League Divison One and the Northern Counties East League Cup and reach the Quarter Final of the FA Vase.

eren39 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 First Season over. We was struggling until december. After december i was able to buy players. So we had a very good season final and are champions of the Midland League Division 1.

samrnpage Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 A change of skin helped us to a 3rd title in a row.....Just. In the summer my entire main XI left for higher level clubs, it was genuinely the worst i'd ever had on an FM save, only a rubbish RW and GK stayed from my XI that got me promoted the season prior. The team I rebuilt wasn't any better than the team last season as worse players demanded higher wages than before, and I didnt really like anyone I got in , it was very stressy and rushed team I had some poor performances from my "best players", my main striker at start of the season, Danilo Orsi-Dadomo had 4 goals in 18 appearances mid way through the season so I released him and got in another striker who was much better thankfully. Worst of all, terrible cup runs, knocked out very early in the FA Cup and FA Trophy (so much for focusing on the cups!). League form was all over the place, lost 7 out of the last 13 games and nearly bottled a comfortable title. 9 losses overall but still won the league was pretty mental. Finances in the mud, the wage budget is EXACTLY THE SAME for next season (In the wise words of Zealand, LOANS will be needed). Average attendance in the league......71. I don't think I have had a club with such low attendances and thus terrible income! Really need a good FA Cup run next season. Onto next season, I doubt ill be going up again at first time of asking. But this is a long term project. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
