Season 1 2024/25

Manager Profile - Competitions - Finances

Competitions 

• Vanarama National League North - With a squad of 14 players and newly promoted my hopes weren't too high, fortunately we managed to avoid many injuries and my backup keeper only had to play outfield twice so it went pretty well really. A solid 13th place finish and in the play-off race for most of the season leaves me very positive for nest year when I can actually make subs, only missed the leagues goalscoring record by 3 goals but we conceded far too many, hopefully I can sort my defence out for next season.
• English FA Trophy - Knocked out in the 3rd round, didn't prioritise either of the cup competitions at all.
• English FA Cup - 3rd qualifying round, again didn't really pay much attention to the cups'

Squad - Plenty of options for rotation as you can see . I think most of the defensive struggles were down to me messing with the tactics all season and we just stopped scoring in the last half dozen games or so but the players were on the beach by then and they deserved it to be fair, far too many minutes for some players.

• Oliver Mehew - 43 G/A in 46 league games as my CAM, he dug the team out of trouble in more than a couple of games this season. I'm not expecting the same output next year and he shouldn't have to be playing every minute of every game so he'll still have legs come the end of the year.

Youth Intake - I forgot to grab a screenshot of the preview, it was 'excellent' but there wasn't any way to not be improving the first XI really. Lots of potential, a few half decent personalities and some players that could do a job in the first team and be at the right level all ready.

• Mathew Hughes (2025YP6) - Looks to be the star of the intake, has the ability to be in the team already. I don't know if they'll be much growth given we're part time and his personality is woeful but fingers crossed.

Transfers & Finances - The outs were all arranged from before I came in at the start of the season. The money isn't looking great, lost about £100k over the season but should be able to put the club back in the black with an extensive pre-season. No worries so far.

Other

• Managed to convince the board to send me for my first Coaching Badge, they wouldn't even consider anything else which given the club being in debt is fair enough I suppose.

What skin or option is it so u see the small pic of the face in squad view like the pic with ur intake?

[The FM23 Youth Academy Challenge]

Is it allowed to use other faces on your youth players as the ones from the game still look awful?

Welcome! A suggestion from me is to change the in-game language to English when you take screenshots. It makes it easier to follow for people like me who only speak a little German.

Thx is appreciated will do from now on

I've been reading along for the last few years and now decided that it is finally time to try start it myself. I'm open to suggestions on how to improve my type of season summary. Years ago I had a very fun Save in Norway and therefore I want to give it a go there. Get ready to meet the new Manager of:

The reset Date seems to be the 14th January and since the lowest available league in the game is not playable, it is possible to see and influence which teams get promoted by reloading until the one you want gets promoted. Manager Profile below:

 

I chose Floya because they have very good facilities to begin with and very good youth recruitment:

My squad is not very big and there is no natural striker available

Media prediction also looks like it is going to be a tough season

But the preview of my first intake looks very promising

,

If there is anything else you need, then please let me know and of course good luck to everyone attempting this challenge.

In Croatia Season ticks over on 20th June, on May 28th the Promotion/Relegation Playoff from Lowest Playable Division is defined, so you can kind off "cheat" and see which lower division team can get promotion and save and reload until it wins. Seems like u also get different teams promoted when holidaying from May 28th to season tick over

[The FM23 Youth Academy Challenge]

Hi, am new to this challenge, wanted to ask how it would work in Norway, as the lowest division is not playable. How do I get a team there?

[The FM21 Youth Academy Challenge]

Belenenses seems to be a team for someone who looks for "quick" success.

@darren1983 Would it be allowed to take a manage a team in Spain or Portugal in 2022 that has been re-promoted, cause otherwise it is nearly impossible in those leagues

I've got a save game file with Berlin as one of the promoted teams if you want to save some time.

I'd appreciate if you could share it with me pls.
