This challenge combines the two things I dislike most in life: international management in FM, and the Dutch

But I still gotta do it for the points

This looks interesting challenge, I've never managed any NT on FM so this is fun yet a difficult task.
Hope I do Good in this!

I'm never usually a fan of international management but the whole setup of this makes it much more enjoyable

Sadly I only get 100 points for winning the league, although I was on course to get top goalscorer points as well, but eh .. it happens.

To be fair, using Holland is quite easy-ish team to do this challenge with because they have such a quality squad with quite a few wonderkids.

Just finished this save. I enjoyed the Southampton challenge more, but that's pure because I prefer club management. Was nice for a change of scenery though. Anyway, here's how I get on?

Silver League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Qsrm7nGNS84OPyZjW174KXv1RRthSEHpCvB39ZcB.png


I found this quite hard, and form wasn't easy to come by. We had a good run of results near the start though. Draws were a killer for me, as they killed any momentum, we were building! We ended up with:

8 WINS, 10 DRAWS, & 4 LOSSES

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/TEqVfOqQIqBffqOqrri4uhYAL6uzFFruDIcHjXRK.png


We had a 4th placed finish in the league table, with Germany winning the whole thing. Italy came in 2nd, whilst Denmark finished 3rd.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/HMFHMo5J0iqKmAd7dXTr2lldrhjoELqswHoPRjPa.png


In the playoff, we faced Denmark, and were smashed 3-0 in the first leg, leaving us little chance of success in the return leg. Ironically we beat them but we lost on aggregate. Nevermind.

FIFA CUP OF NATIONS

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/wuHgrNrrt73a8QMXtLVb9tplnm0lL2WyER3y53Xo.png


This was where we excelled, as we reached the final, but lost to Germany in an appalling result. We had some cracking results along the way though dumping out some of the more fancied teams in Spain & Uruguay


TOTAL POINTS
Silver League - 4th placed finish - 35 POINTS
Cup of Nations - Runners Up - 75 POINTS
Top goalscorer - Nope - 0 points

TOTAL - 75 + 35 = 110 POINTS

Managed to win the league but that's the only points I get, awful result in the cup and Donyell Malen missing the last four matches through injury saw him miss out on the top scorer by two goals.

I did okay in this one, finished top of the league but got knocked out by eventual winners of the cup France in the 4th round (they're just too broken on this game) and missed out on top scorer by 2 goals... I suppose 100 points is okay

Side note, do I get any bonus points for doing it without saving it myself a single time?

And that's me. The league was lost by Germany rather than won by the Dutch, they seemed to throw it away towards the end but happy with the league win. As for the cup, the Italians pipped me on penalties but a win against Brazil in ET was something to savour.

One thing noticeable about the team is their sheer lack of strikers. Huntelaar is the only out and out striker. anywho, I spent most of the game with Depay up top and this bore fruit. Barcelona now want him. Lucky chap.

So, smashed through this tonight.

Wanted a tactic to have three at the back as I wanted to start De Vrij, De Ligt and Van Dijk together so downloaded our own @VP. 's latest tactic. In hindsight this did mean I missed out on playing with some nice Dutch wingers but I shoehorned Depay up front so I least had one. Form was very hit and miss, we only managed to make 5th and the mighty Welsh knocked us out of the play offs, they were on fire all season. Don't know how the Italians finished so high!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ju7KBYcHbUpz7Ze3nnxIiFDIMdSbjPQtQ6nxMov1.png

Depay finished third in the overall goalscorers, though if woodwork and offsides had slipped in he would have been top easily. So no points there.

The cup seemed to be what our players were after. Even beating the Germans on penalties in the earlier rounds. However, the Argies were a different class in the semis and went on to win the cup in Extra time against the English. Enjoy the trophy chaps, the Falklands are still ours.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ZS6VHk0pkJkoC3JMrzNpwuwbJygQPWxlimkTcHtT.png


So points wise:
5th place (no playoff win): 25 points
Semi: 60 points

Total: 85 points

Not very good, but enjoyable! Looking forward to see what is next!

Didn't really enjoy this challenge, mainly because I'm not a massive fan of International Management.
