Hi @Footygamer 

Done the challenge

Thanks

MattK

We will ask for the save file in any suspicious circumstances, but unfortunately due to the nature of the game it's not always going to be possible to be certain.

I mean holidaying isn't really what we had in mind 😂 I guess if you think the trick is to just setup a killer tactic and let your assistant do the rest then so be it.

stressful challenge, but i made it to conference league

Nah i was just a bit busy with studies so did that for efficiency xD  but i'll be sure to do it the normal way next time 

Hello, my name is “Sort It Out SI Challenge” but everybody calls me “Socretino” 🤓

Here you have my screenshots. Great challenge put me in a jam… Finally my Ipswich get a well-deserved 7t place, accessing to Europa League. It's a shame I couldn't pass first match in FA Cup (Aston Villa has been my “bête noir” during whole challenge 😡)

Thanks a lot!!!!

How did you manage to complete the challenge in just 3 hours and a bit? I am not able to do this after 20 hours... My games are very slow due to breaks between days and stuff like that 🤦‍♂️

Hi, @Felipe Mateus BRASIL!

It looks like your manager hasn’t played any game. Could you please provide additional proof?

finally done

Hi, @Baumkuchen.id!

I'm not gonna lie, I have the Game Editor, just to get to hidden/show it then Screenshot. But for you admins, how do you check it? I just wonder how

@Muhamad Iman Septianto it shows on the status screen if its been used or not (it can also be disabled when making the save but I forgot)

Fun save idea, short term.

Think the thing that hurt me the most was the lack of time to get Team Cohesion up, if you want to properly overachieve thats so so vital to have as high as possible. Injuries and the Afcon/Asian Cup didnt help either in January, Managed FA Cup Quarter Finals while rotating the team every time which is something. Delap also absolutely banged them in which surprised me, traditionally using this tactic the goals tend to spread around the attack, but Delap led the line exceptionally.  Ended up with 22 goals as joint 4th top scorer. Lief Daviers meanwhile was joint top assister with 14 assists as a CWB. 

Top of the table simply disappeared, even Spurs won something like 7 in a row ahead of me, with 5 to go I was 16 points behind Spurs in 5th but 6 ahead of Newcastle and Everton in 7th and 8th. Both Philips and Johnson got injured in the last 5 too which made things even harder, but Spurs were in the Europa final. If they won that, and England got the extra coeffiction spot, 6th place would get UCL football. I confirmed 6th and Europa League football on the second last game with Newcastle losing to City, so it was down to Spurs (and Chelsea in the Conference League final) to both win. I even attended the Spurs vs Atalanta final to watch. 

Atalanta lined out in a 5-2-1-2, while Spurs played a strong 4-2-3-1 that had spanked me 4-2. Atalanta scored first just 4 minutes in, and again in the 10th and my hopes of UCL football was rapidly dwindling. Zaniolo got the 3rd for Atalanta, but Son made it 3-1 before HT. Spurs were playing well though and evenly matched on XG, and dominated the second half but just couldnt find the net as they lost 3-1 on the night.  England did get the extra coeffiction though, so despite losing Spurs ended up with CL football. A shame.

i forgot to screenshot the newer manager stat and i didnt save the game, thats why im using the screenshot from the start of the game
should i restart the progress?

I didn't know that I couldn't take a vacation. Is it still possible to do it again?

I'm going to believe since you only just managed to scrape into a European spot haha

But for anyone else, especially anyone doing anything crazy like going unbeaten, not having the requested screenshots would be deemed very suspicious 🕵️

Sure you can do it again.

I also didn't specify that no holiday, it just doesn't seem in the spirit of the challenge.

But if that's how some people I don't want to force people and make it a chore.

Maybe from now on people have to specify if they holidayed or played normally and we can highlight that in some way.

Table So Far

I had an amazing time with this challenge! I primarily used the 4-2-4 and 4-2-3-1 formations with a Cautious mentality. Hirst and Sanchez turned out to be my standout players. However, I suffered a shocking defeat to Southampton in the penultimate game, which dropped me to 5th place. Fortunately, Manchester United drew their final match, and I secured a win, which allowed me to clinch 4th place in the end.

Transfers in:
- Martial (Free)
- Klaassen (Free)
- Coufal (Loan)
- Sanchez (Loan)
- Guillamón (Loan)

yeah, because the rules is we cant save and reload i kinda forget i should save at the end of the progress…i'll make sure next time if there's another challenge like this im gonna save it at the end so if something like this happen i can take the screenshot >,<

Hello sir @Footygamer 

I've done the challenge

Thank you

Went until June 02 because Chelsea in ECL final, City in CL final. Initially had ECL until those games. Got EL in the end.

It's a challenge, I'm not dedicated like in a normal save.
I basically fired all the staff, brought in the best ones i could and automated everything. Game speed at max and vacations between games. When I want to fast forward a save, this is usually how I play, specially playing with friends online.
Even when I play normally I play a full season in half a day, not fully dedicated 100% in front of the game. The days pass even faster since the database in this one was small.
PS - Having a 24 core processor helps. xD

@Footygamer 
I'm not sure it was a mistake, but I think so. My GD in the league was 20, not 30.

This challenge was a little bit harder for me but it was worth playing. Finally the conference league achievement is completed. To be honest, the saves were made automatically by the game.  Can't wait to see other challenges too… 🙂 

Just managed to scrape into the Europa Conference League thanks to a couple of good wins at the end of the season.  That was fun so looking forward to the next one.

Just realised that my Competitions screenshot does not show and FA Cup games so adding a Schedule screenshot for completeness.

Out of interest (im not accusing you of cheating at all), how come you saved 30 times in the 3 hours it took you to complete the challenge? do you have autosave on alot?

It's in all competitions, League + Cup

Fun challenge, didn't know Ipswich had so many good players. Clark and Davis on the left side were great, as was Phillips. Brought in a few players, but Kubo ended up being a big disappointment. Managed to win the final of the FA Cup somewhat undeservedly, thanks to Muric having a phenomenal day. Salah missed a pen in extra time, Jota had a disallowed goal in 90+, as did we in 110+. In the end Van Dijk missed the 5th penalty of the shootout.
