It's been a while on FM since we've had a full group of people taking teams from the bottom all the way to the dizzy heights of the Premier League.
I've started in a network game with my mate, and I'm playing as North Ferriby while he has taken on the task of Barrow Town.
Task
Take a club in the Skrill North/South all the way to the Premier League - how you do it isn't important. Do you instill a fluid 4-2-3-1 in the non-league and try and play your way to the top, or do you become a modern day Don Revie and kick lumps out of everyone in your path?
Format
Whatever you want! Use this thread to talk to other challengers about tactics, players and teams that are pissing you off!
There might even be some prizes along the way!
Good luck.

My team of choice is Eastleigh, I will be attempting to play attacking football while frustrating the opponents with ball retention I hope.
I'm not going to start a career thread just yet, would like to play the game for a bit first

Who's your best player?
Scotty Walds
The playmakers often finds himself between the 2 strikers (a false nine to link up, plus a poacher to score goals). I found my best front 2 were Spencer Weir-Daley as poacher, and Marc Newsham as F9. Ian Ross was my playmaker.
Lost most of the squad in the summer, but have signed lots of young players, with the odd older player, and started the Skrill Premier with a win and a draw so far.

Got injured for 5 weeks on his debut /o\

With my Berwick Rangers save disappearing off the face of the earth I am tempted to hit this up!
Poe
I've assigned you the task of Leamington.
Dan
I will have a hunt around later! May try and find a level 9/10 download link and do it properly unlike you half timers

We'll see who sticks with it the longest!
He's currently played 10 and scored 0

And it sounds like he's absolutely woeful this year too. Something's never chance!

Sitting 5th after 19 games.

Also brought in a journeyman Derek Holmes. He is a brilliant signing. Great stats if you don't need pace, signs for low wages, as a back up meaning he never really loses morale. He's just activated his one year extension which I am more than happy to agree to as he's currently tutoring Brown anyway. He's bagged 15 or so, so has Fleetwood, with the other striker Strevens and McAllister getting into double figures too. We easily lead the scoring charts, but none of my players are in the top five goalscorers in the league. Guess that's what you call a team effort!...
I'm gonna wait till the list is drilled down a bit more. I want to play as my local team Clacton FC, although I do hate how you can get a good team together, and then have players nabbed before the window closes because they're all on amateur contracts....

I love signing clearly past it players and watching them roll back the years.
Just got a 38 year old Rory Delap in for the last 6 months of the season.

No wonder my promotion bid is falling away...
Dan
I chose Weymouth as my club as they won promotion and now play in the Skrill south! Just an hours drive away from where I live so a fairly local club to me and one which should be fun! Added a couple of custom kits in to make sure I have graphics for them
Also went for a strong staffing setup, well, experience on the pitch, shame we can't claw them out of retirement! Michael Owen, Jamie Carragher, Dean Ashton, Keiron Dyer, David Seaman, Hitzlsperger, Woodsworth oh and me!

Just the fact they have no reputation in managing, coaching etc so need to start somewhere, I had owen and dyer and ashton at my Berwick side in Scottish tier 3? 4?
Poe
Also just signed non-league legend Exodus Geohagen - 6ft7 of pure muscle. Francis Jeffers and Izale McCleod is going to be my strikeforce.

Managed to get to the FA Cup 3rd round too where I'll welcome Man City to the Grange.
I also signed Luke Chadwick as Player/Director of Football \o/
Dan
I've completed my first seaosn as Weymouth and decided the story is time to go up! Season updates and the first seaosn update will be out first thing tomorrow!
