Hello, welcome to my FM22 save with FC Villefranche-Beaujolais (yes it's a mouthful). After a few saves in the past few weeks, I've decided I need a new long term save, and this will be it. My plan is to build a team through our youth setup (although not entirely youth only). I know that's not new for many of you, but I've never tried something like this. So it will be back to football manager basics for me, very few signings, just tactics and player development.
I chose this club due to the history, more-so the lack of history. In FM there are no legends, icons, or favored personnel, as well has having awful facilities, so the club is an entire clean slate.
The manager for this save is a fictional person who's name was randomly generated because I am unoriginal. His name is Demetrius Leblanc and he was born in Marseille, so his favorite club is Olympique Marseille. It will be interesting if we ever get offered this job and I guess that will be a tough decision for him.
Here's how the team looks in FM.
Lots of strikers, but I loathe 2 up top formations in FM, so we will utilize them off the bench.
We also signed Rudy for our head of youth development as he has a professional personality, so hopefully he can be a positive influence onto our intake players.
That will be all for this intro post, I will be back soon with the first months of the season.
