Has anyone ever got close to completing the challenge in Northern Ireland? I am starting to think it is impossible given the league rep and possibly nation youth rating.
I've been playing a Youth Only challenge with Queens University on FM23 (whilst not exactly following the rules of this challenge - I allow myself to resign youth products who have moved to other clubs) currently in 2045 and I am still light years away from even qualifying for the Champions League. The league is dominated by Larne and Linfield, Larne even had a perfect season this year, winning EVERY SINGLE GAME...
The Quality of youth intakes doesn't seem to be improving massively which I suspect is due to the league rep/nation youth rating but I am really interested to see what the furthest someone has got in Northern Ireland.
I have had some relative success over the years including a Conference League Semi-Final, Quarter Final and a Europa League RO16 run, this has allowed me to upgrade Training Facilities to State of the Art whilst Youth Facilities seem to be capped at Good. Both Junior Coaching and Youth Recruitment are maxed out.
