Conquering Paris

In this Story I will try and get Paris FC to the highest possible places in football. My aim is to stay here for a long time, winning all of the available trophies and building a dynasty!
There will be some rules for this, which should make it a bit more challenging.

Rules:
- I can only play French players. A player that can't play for the national team - can't play for me!
- After the first season I am only allowed 5 players over the age of 30.
- After the second season I am only allowed 3 players over the age of 30.
- Each year I must promote at least one youth player to the senior squad.

Goals:

Preseason didn't look very bright for us as we failed to win all but one of our games. I didn't take control over those games as I really don't think they mean much!

In the league we got 4 wins out of 5. We did so well to bounce back after that 4-0 defeat and I am really proud of the boys!
In the cup, sadly, we were beaten by Metz in extra time. I thought that penalties would have been the fair, but the did well on the counter and beat us!

Game of the Month: The game against Le Havre has to be the best! We went 3-1 down before the boys fought their way back to snatch a win! One of my best comebacks in FM!




Thomas Gamiette came second in the PotM award! He had a brilliant month for us, getting a goal and two assists in all competitions!




Not much to say. Tried to strengthen the team as we were short of French players! Happy to get the 155k for Sanaia.

Great start mate and I love the idea and goals, good luck i'll be following.

Cheers gaz12321!

After going out of the cup, we had only the league to focus on this time around. We went on a great 6 game unbeaten run at the start of the month (was 9 games overall).
The loss to Niort was terrible. We were 2-0 up and they somehow managed to get back and win 3-2.

Game of the Month: Metz away was brilliant! They threw us out of the cup which was a real shame and we wanted revenge. Things started off terribly as we went 2-0 down quite early on. Fortunately, Gamiette, Grange and Glombard (3 assists) have yet again proved how good they are and they helped us get back and win this game!




Didn't see that coming! He hasn't played since paying for Algeria, and I will sell him in January, despite him signing a contract until 2018.

This'll be class! Good luck man!

Thanks Dan, I really do hope so!!

Conquering Paris

Two brilliant months for us! We only failed to win three times, once against our rivals, but even then we managed to get back and two of our promotion rivals!

Game of the Month: Creteil just for that last minute goal that won us the game!


Six points above second and third and also eight points above fourth at the half way line! Never thought we would do this good!

I think I deserved this. New contract to keep me here for 2 extra seasons! Hopefully I stay here for a lot longer!

Conquering Paris

I started to think that we might actually be able to run away with the title but our form is starting to get worse! Losing in the cup must have been one of the reasons as we lost to a shitty team. I am really happy with the goals that Ambrose is able to ship in despite our form! I really hope to bring him back here next season!

Game of the Month: Sochaux, 7 goals in a game, a hattrick for Ambrose. Perfect!

Somehow we are still 4 points ahead of second! Despite our form being bad, our opponents form hasn't been consistent either. Four points isn't much and with 10 games to be played everything can change!

Brilliant start to this matey, keep it coming!

Conquering Paris

Another run of bad form. We only won 3 games out of 8 which is terrible! So so inconsistent!


It was bound to happen, especially after we lost to them! They have been great in the last couple of games to catch us and they did that while getting to the final of the Coupe de France as well!


This guy is supposed to be the best out of a bad crop of youth players. He might get some game time next season but that will be up to him showing good signs of progression!

Conquering Paris

What a time to get back to winning ways! Not only did we win, Sochaux and Lens have both dropped points!


Well, we did it! I didn't think that we would be this high up when we started the season but getting promoted is a great achievement!

So the board have give us an extra 50k per week to work with for next season! I will need to see who's contract is running out at their club and get them in! With the players that are leaving us we should be able to build a nice little squad!

The real question is: Will we win the TITLE?

Enjoying this, good work mate hope you can win the title.

Superb stuff, promotion sorted! Lets hope you get the title too!

Conquering Paris

Such a shame! We had it all in our hands and we managed to screw it up! We just didn't manage to find the net in this game and it cost us being champions. But hey, I won't be greedy, we are going up!


Just shows you how great Glombard has been! Hoping to get him back here next season!

So, this is how the players did! I think that just by looking at that you can see how our season went. We were great going forward but way too easy to score against! At least I have a clear idea of what players I need next season!

Conquering Paris

We got taken over! Good thing as they took a loan which put our finances back in the black. Hopefully I can manage to keep it that way and maybe even start to make a profit.


So, a lot of players leaving, most were either old and never used as well as some just not being French. After releasing so many players we had plenty of the wage budget left but no transfer budget to use! Pellenard and Ambrose stayed with us for another season as they did very well last time and I wanted to have some players here that know the club. Sadly Glombard was wanted at his club so we couldn't get him here again! I did get another a keeper on loan but he isn't shown here. After these transfers we are spending £53.5k under the wage budget which is great!


Again, don't see these as important and I haven't taken control of them.


So, this is the squad for the beginning of the season! Some players might still come in if I find someone that I really need. I am looking for an AM(R/L) to bring in but currently I haven't found the right one. I have promoted two players to the squad and I hope to give them a chance in the team when the time is right, those players being Escorza and Dujardin.

Conquering Paris

We made a good start to the season, despite the two losses at the end. The only really annoying thing is that we lost to two teams that we really should have beat (Angers and Bourg-Peronnas) but I guess we did manage to get points off teams we really never thought we could.


So, we are currently in 11th but everything can change! My aim is still to avoid relegation and that would satisfy me, anything above that would just be a great bonus.


That is the keeper I brought in on loan. He cried about not getting enough game time and when I did he was pretty bad. Obviously he is still young so we might get him later on but right now he was a liability.

Loving this nice updates

Conquering Paris

We managed to win three games in a row but sadly that was it. These two months were really hard, seeing as we played Lyon, Monaco and PSG. At least we went through in the cup.


So, we are 12th after 16 games. I am not sure where we are going but I am really hoping that we can manage to get some points to move further away from a relegation battle!

Great stuff, this. Solid start to the Ligue 1 campain, shame that you lost the title on the last day previous year.

Cheers itchycoo, it really was a shame!

Conquering Paris

Despite starting the month badly, I decided to change the formation and we actually managed to get three straight wins! Those wins really helped us, especially with getting through to the next round of the cup!


10th after 20 games! If we keep our good form going we can be safe of relegation sooner than I believed!


He is only on loan but he has been a brilliant player for us so far this year! truly deserved the prize, getting himself 6 assists as well!


As I have mentioned, our finances were terrible at the start. We were taken over and the board took a loan to help us out. Not only have we kept in the green, we are actually making very nice profit each month. Hopefully we can keep that going even when we get some new players in!

Conquering Paris

While playing these two months I actually felt that we have done better but the I realised we only had two league wins. Getting to the quarter-final of the cup was a great achievement but losing in the 118th minute was one of the worst endings we could have had! 7 of our games were played in February which meant a lot of tired players and some injuries throughout the month!


We went down to 12th but we are still very close to the teams above us. 9 points away from the relegation zone really looks good at this stage although everything can change! The real optimistic thing is that despite only winning three of our league games we managed to stretch further away from the relegation zone.


He looks like the best player of this year's youth income. Can see him having a bright future here!

Conquering Paris

Great games in these two months, as we only lost to the strongest of teams! That game against Guingamp was great as both Koura (16 hours without a goal) and Meunier (16 year old youth player) scored!


We have secured our place in the league for next season! Still very happy with our midtable place, which is a lot more than we expected!


As you can see, Bongongui decided that he doesn't want to be French anymore. That means he will not play for us again, sadly. He was great up until now and I was looking for him to guide us to glory but that is all over. Hopefully I can get around 1.5 million for him. That is also the reason why I brought Meunier into the team.

Conquering Paris

Sadly, no wins in our final three games. Although they have 0 effect on us!


So, "only" 14th place for us, despite being in 10th-12th most of the season! Hopefully next season we do a little better and get to midtable!


A lot of money for us and it helps a lot, as you can see! Hopefully with this budget, as well as some players leaving, we will be able to strengthen the team where needed!


Just see how Important Bongongui was! Top three were just simply amazing and I will do my best to bring Ambrose, Bakayoko and Cissako back.

Conquering Paris

!I have made a massive mistake. I got a large transfer budget and I have spent all of it! £7.05 million were spent while only £200k were brought in through transfers. Hopefully I will manage to ship Bongongui out to get his 7k wages off and a niceish transfer fee. Hopefully this will pay off, and that will be if my players preform well and gain value, which will mean we can start buying relatively low and sell for more.


Again, don't see these as important and I haven't taken control of them.


I feel like we now have a much bigger squad with a lot more depth. We are also only relaying on two loanees in Ambrose and Cissako who I happily brought back!
The youths that will try to fight for a spot in the team are Dujardin and Meunier who were with us last season but weren't really part of the team. Hopefully this term I will manage to fit them into the side better.

Will be interesting to see how your 2nd season goes, but great work getting into Ligue 1 and staying there.

Any plans to bring in Pires or Vieira along side Henry?!?

If I will manage to get them to work along side Henry that would be amazing! I will not rule such a thing out!

Think you got the wrong table loaded?

Didn't see that! Changed!

Thats better, good finish for your first season in Ligue 1 mate
