Back with my usual Journeyman career, the type of save I absolutely love doing - so much variety and unpredictability to it. I started in Asia on my FM17 career, this time on FM19 I'll be beginning my (hopefully long) journey in North/South America.
Let's just get straight into it.
I've added all the default North and South American leagues, which can be seen below. My initial aim was to start somewhere in South America, preferably in a lower division. You can see the screenshot for the leagues loaded/save set-up below, along with my manager's profile and the managerial style; which is the lowest possible.
The job search was the exact opposite of action packed, but it did go on for a long while. I started the save on 1 January 2018 but, despite constantly applying, I didn't get a job interview until 5 May 2018. That came from Uruguay's Sud América, of the Segunda División. I was happy, exactly the sort of level I wanted to begin with. A job offer followed.
Which, after months of waiting, I was never going to turn down!
I'm the new manager of Sud América! No prizes for guessing which continent they're from. I join the second tier team midway through the 2018 Uruguayan Segunda División season, with the club sat 12th (third bottom) after thirteen fixtures; exactly thirteen games left to play. Relegation is our main threat, which is decided by an average points table in our league. In that, things look bleaker, Sud América are bottom of the table. So points are of the essence. We play three of the top four in my first four fixtures, talk about a baptism of fire!
Below you can see our current situation, along with the squad list.
I have no idea how this is going to go, at Sud América or in the save overall. That's all part of the fun, I haven't got any aims whatsoever - what will be, will be (we're not going to Wembley).
Thanks for reading, I appreciate it!

Ahh yeah Journey man's journey was an epic read mate!! Glad to see this back up and running.
The average points system is a bit of a head trip at first but easy to understand once you figure it out. Hopefully the start of this journey doesn't end in relegation for you. Am sure you can keep this side up.
TinakoFM
Indeed! Thanks. If you can, do it - can never have too many Journeymans!
Thanks and let's hope so! It makes it seem more complicated that it actually is, the same thing is needed like in any other league - points!

All this means absolutely nothing if we don't continue into the next few months, where we have some massive fixtures: Cerrito (A), Villa Española (H), Oriental (A), Deportivo Maldonado (H). Villa Española aside, they are all of the clubs surrounding us in the standings. Make-or-break few months!
A: Here's the club's history:
B: Here's the board's expectations. Very easy to understand:
C: How about this for a first press conference. 25 questions from the media, gruelling:

Good luck with this though.

Feels like its coming, its now or never with our next few fixtures. Squeaky bum time, as Sir Alex would say!
I've been pleased with the performances, players doing well but just might not have the quality needed. Big games coming!
Blame Guangzhou Evergrande!
It doesn't, but I'm optimistic after that last performance against a team we had to beat. More performances like that are needed over the next few months.

No idea why he accepted £100 p/w, but glad he did - gives us a slight chance if he can start firing.

It's definitely a win win for you, even with his bad physicals if he can get into some good positions and use his mental skills to being the right place at the right time I've no doubt he'll turn into an inspired signing! Can't wait to see he gets on for you.

Desperately needed! I've got faith in the man.

A: While collecting the screenshots for this post, I thought I'd check the board confidence. My job status, only after that recent league win, has gone down to "insecure" due to their worries over player support.
B: ...here's the subsequent squad dynamics. Their worries are fair, but that hasn't changed since I joined. If anything, as mentioned by the game itself, the squad's mood is improving.
C: Lastly, here is a round-up of my transfer dealings - used the loan market well, I feel.

Hoping so, loan signings mean we aren't solely relying on Forlan but will still be a sizeable miss.
I didn't buy FM18 so this is my first true experience of it, hopefully it won't mess me up!

Must do as our next two games are huge, both Oriental and Maldonado are directly above us in the average points table. Nervy times!
bigmattb28
Time for someone to step up and take the goal scoring load from Forlan in your time of need mate. These next 2 games could make or break your season.

A true miracle is needed if we are to survive.
A: Squad dynamics continue to be silly. After that Oriental victory (which equaled two straight wins for the first time under me), the players set three (!) meetings to discuss poor performance in the days that followed. Yet, in this current three match losing streak - not a word from them...
B: While with the board, it was somewhat roles reversed. I mentioned last time about job security, well that actually improved prior to the Oriental match. They, rightly, stayed quiet around the Oriental but have since pipped up in the aforementioned losing run. A board meeting was scheduled, ending with me having to promise 11pts from the next 5 games - that's despite only having two games left. I'm likely to fail their target anyway.
C: We've had board elections, with Victoriano Almeida replacing Vicente Celio as president. Almeida immediately states the new board will only judge me from when they took over, which was after the Villa Teresa fixture. Yet, my past promise with the old president is still active according to the game and the board confidence is identical. Gotta love that. At least he didn't sack me, I guess.
