Safe Hands

Loving reading this thread, learning a lot. My favourite save every year is the journeyman starting as an unemployed nobody, getting any job and working my way up the ladder. One thing I love most is at the start being at a small club and getting so ex star in on a free whose legs have gone and watching him shine. Roles I think are best suited to this is Treq or an Engache. I've never managed to get even working and usually end up changing to an AP or AM. Determined to give it a good crack this year. My goal was be to recreate 4312 like classic Roma trio off Totti, Montella and Delvecchio and take the system to me at every club I go too. My current save I'm in my 2nd season and 2nd club. I'm currently stuck to what I can do as several over wage budget when I took over so can't bring anybody in , teams have 4 high earners who are taking up 80% of the budget, can't shift them and noone wants them so got to wait until summer when they leave and can't start again. Teams stacked with some pacey wingers so playing 4411 on counter. Been playing around today to try and incorporate the Treq or Engache and come up with the below to try and get it working before evolving into the 4312 next season. I have 3 really hard working CMS(one got really good dribbling hence the mezzala)but back up is poor so any injury id struggle why I'm playing with wingers. Cautious mental, mid block, counter, pass into space, dribble more and will probably focus play down the right side to give the Treq/Engache more space. I have a CB on loan from Brighton who decent Ball playing defender and has traits like to play long passes so think below could work.

season 2023/2024 Started in Croatian 2nd Division with NK Solin. Finished the season 2nd after a mis season slump where I was playing around with tactics. I want in this save to try and develop a tactic I take with me to every club, which is built around an old player pass his best. I managed to pick up ex Roma and Belgium Star Rada Nainggolan. great mentals and technical but physicals on the wane. Tried to get him as an Engachge but couldnt get it to work so most success was as a Mezzala in 433 where he scored a few screams with his 17 long shots. The club have let me do my badges and now working on the 3rd badge. I don't know if to stick around ro leave I had a good squad but have lost majority on free's or loan players returning. Im having fun but other than doing my badges there no point staying for the challenge, i didn't even enter a cup last year, the club is semi pro so even with promotion im not going to compete in the prem and i need a full squad rebuild. Might me time to leave and see what else is around.

22 was different as Japanese teams only had grey players so we're easy to knock over, only challenge was other Korean teams, it was relatively easy I won the treble 3 years running and I'm very average. I'll get up and running. I did start a game with only countries loaded along the Danube river so could have gone from there and tried to knock Europe off but noticed didn't sort out the Brazilian team names so will start again. Just decided if I'm only loading Europe or mixer from everywhere

Skipped last year's game and picked 24 up last night. Always do a journeyman save but kinda lose interest. Had a crack at this in 21 I think but again lost interest. Think going to give this a go again as always wanted to complete it and in 21 my time in Africa probably most fun I've ever had since CM01/02 days. Questions for those deep in, the problem I see this year is the Asia Champions league with the monster money in Saudi. I did a journeyman around Asia in fm22 and dominated with a Korean team but different animal now. Before I get in deep down the rabbit hole are people finding the Saudi teams just too strong?
