FM 21* Challenge completed! I have been lurking and reading everything everyone posts about this challenge for 3 years now adn i have finally completed one of my own. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this challenge, you have reinvigorated my love for this game, switching me to do these types of saves exclusively. I stopped laying FM a long time ago, like fm13, but during the pandemic, with nothing to do, but attend funeral after funeral, i started playing again, just to try and find some sense of normalcy during those trying times. I really struggled with the save for the first 10 years of it. Only one promotion, trying various ways to figure out just how to play and how. I was very rusty, and it showed. I think my first season I conceded over 100 goals, trying to play tiki taka with a team with barely any players haha. I stopped playing for a while. But then I discovered Cultured Left Foot on YouTube and his Guisley save really made me go back and try my best to complete the save. To quote the game, an off field event caused me to drastically increase in determination. I also learned to go with the flow, trust the game, get the best staff I can, and do my best week by week to max out my chances for every single game. It made me a much better player. The only regret I have is not changing my head of youth development more often. Had a very barren 10 years in the Prem because I didn’t sack my great personality but poor attributes HoYD. ( I also regret sending my best loanees to Almeria, who dumped me after I helped them go from 3rd Tier to mid table La Liga side). Now lets talk about the ones who deserve the most praise the squad. I am so happy that I managed to complete the challenge while Lee Ingram was still my goalkeeper. He has ben my number one for close to half the save. In total he has played 585 matches and kept 218 clean sheets. Over 100 of those came in the Premier League. Not bad for a Championship level goalkeeper. (Consistency really matters). His penalty saving ability are the biggest reason why we won the Champions league in the first place. In the finals we missed two, but he saved 3 against Man City in the previous season. The core and spine of the team was my 42/43 golden generation. That youth intake gave me five starters, our backup striker (who started before Ryan Graham came of age) and our set piece specialist and rotational option for the Mezzala/ADVPA spots in the team. A Welsh team has conquered the English pyramid, but also Europe as a whole. But that doesn’t mean that I only did it with Welsh players. A lot of affiliates chipped in, providing me with talented intake players. Almeria, our former affiliate, and Slaven Belupo most of all. Vejle gave me a 4 star Faroe islander as well. I still plan on checking with the save from time to time. My starting left back has world class potential and I just got a potential golden generation which could rival that of 42/43. My next save will be in Bulgaria with Chernomorets Burgas and i dont think i have to tell you what type of save it will be.

Just got sacked in my seventh season in Turkey. I immediately got a job offer from a team that got promoted to the lowest playable division, can i join that team and continue the challenge or do i have to start from the very beginning?

1. Does the current intake influence the one next year? For example, if you get a really good intake this year, are the odds of what to expect next year changed? 2. Does the game just look at factors such as youth facilities and recruitment only for the current season or does the game also memorize what your intake factors were the last 3 or 4 years? 3. If you have an affiliate club from a loaded league is your chance of getting a player from that affiliate in an average intake 50%? 4. If you have an affiliate club from an league that is not loaded is your change of getting a player from that affiliate in an average intake 30%? 5. Are there set ranges for every one of your 16 newgens based on the intake factors? 6. Are intakes separates in three types, which can be identified by the description of the best player from said intake? 7. If you get an intake where the best prospect is described as a diamond, does that mean the intake is more unbalanced, meaning more great prospects and really bad ones, but few average ones? 8. If you get an intake where the best prospect is described as talented, does that mean you have gotten a more balanced intake, where 4, 5, or 6 players are good or better players for your league? 9. Does the overall quality of CA in a league matter when newgens are created? 10. If it does, do you have a 1 in 10 chance that your best newgen’s PA is close to the CA of the best player in the league if you have perfect youth recruitment, junior coaching and youth facilities?
