Yeah, we’re doing well. It’s a decent intake but not much else happening with that unfortunately

Yeah, hopefully he can add some depth and progress.

Youth Intake
In a youth only challenge, any youth players are good players. Our first isn't a bad one as there a number of players who have potential. All have been taken on. The best of the bunch who could make an immediate impact is Paul Cooper. He'll probably get some game time soon enough. That screenshot seems to have cut Josh Chettle off. No relation to Callum or Steve. He is a GK. Plus Reece Higginson as well. He's a winger/striker but not very good.

Great Title. Is the manager named Eddy Grant?
Damn it! Missed that.

He is. Too good for this level. Steve actually manages them in real life.

YI Preview 2021-22 Season
A decent preview with a striker definitely needed. Any players are good players right now.

On paper if you're a newly promoted side you'd take 12th. However, our form is slowly starting to dip. We started off with a narrow loss to recently relegated Halifax and gave a good account of ourselves. The next 18 games had me dreaming as we managed to reach the FA Cup 2nd Round having beat higher opposition. We were drawn to face Spennymoor who were below us in the league but in better form. Unfortunately they won and drew Villa at home in the 3rd round. We still got some cash for our run as the game against Solihull Moors was chosen for TV. That has helped the finances slightly. The concerning factor is our form in December as we just can't seem to break out of the rut. Something we'll need to sort if we're to maintain our mid-table spot.

Lots of green....
Have to say, the way you play FM. I could only dream of it.
When Forest sack Hughton, you’re available right?

2021-22 Pre-Season
So with me being unable to sign any players, I decided to press ahead to try and identify my key players and the staff I needed to bring in to help us progress. Initial thoughts on the squad are that we've got a decent one of a reasonable average age and there's no reason why we can't avoid the drop. The 3 strongest players from the squad were Callum Chettle, Alex Howes & James Clifton.
The full squad I inherited is below.
We had a strong pre-season against some sides within our league as there wasn't much on offer.
We lost Dominic Roma as he retired and Wayde Hines who was transfer listed for some reason and he departed for Hungerford. Shame as both would have been good options.

So my first proper thread on this forum for some time and I've decided to follow a popular trend that is youth only challenges. I've loaded the database up with Just England down to the North/South and various player setups which gives me a total player count of around 44,000. I've holidayed for a season and taken over Basford United. They're the closest side to me to be able to attempt the youth only challenge from the FMCU. The full aim of the challenge is to try and win the champions league with just players who come from your intake. However, once they have been sold/released or leave the club you can't re-sign them as players.
I've started with no qualifications and the lowest past history.

I’ve been holidaying awhile to get Basford to come up. Forgot to click to come off holiday on the 25th. So I’m at the 26th and shall use that.
Not saying I’ll post as I’ve never been succesful.

In. Shall take an interest in this.

No, it really isn’t. Nottingham Forest has never been shortened to Notts Forest. It’s always Nottm Forest.
So unfortunately you’re wrong.
Manchester United has always been shortened to Man United.

More that I’m never successful with a Forest. Hoping I can be successful this time.
There is no Notts Forest. I used to recommend Nottingham Forest.

Waiting for FM21 to come out. Seriously want to get a Forest save going. Think I’ve got the tactic. Just hope things actually work.

Interesting update @warlock. Have been waiting for you to resume.
The fact you tried to re-sign Diakhaby WBL was rubbish for us in real life. Hopefully you can maintain a strong second half to the season.

Don’t let me down @warlock. Ha

Glad you’ve finally got promoted Padders.

Always wary of getting sacked. Thankfully not come close yet. Frustrating but enjoying it.

That’s a ridiculous fee that @DazRTaylor.
After what feels like a gazillion attempts at this challenge. I maybe ready to post. Two seasons completed with Tamworth.

Tbf, fair play for sticking at it.

He looks solid Padders. You're in 2082 and in the Championship. Oh, but June 2082. Did you stay up?

Heath! Jesus. Maybe the lockdown will bring an increase in traffic back to this thread.
I’m currently in the UK lockdown. No longer miss Australia as much.
Won’t be playing much cricket this summer I don’t think.
Have got back into my FM18 save. Struggle with the morale side of 19 and 20.

Just another update. Seems the 20.4.1 has fixed it.

Further update to this. Tried further bits and pieces. Nothing is working and it's still crashing.
Out of ideas as to what else to try.

You'd say to stay up as a newly promoted side is a good achievement. But the way we performed after Christmas was a concern. The two wins against Blyth and Alfreton have kept us up. I have an idea of how I want to play and it's how we started the season so well. But I just don't think we have the players to perform that way regularly and when the going gets tough we don't have the ability to turn it around. All things that will hopefully improve in time. Financially we're in the red and only just.
