Heracles loaded! hey, ho, let's go!

Edit: My first entry can be deleted as I think I messed that one up

Well, first match and we'll take that. I created a 442 to funnel them inwards as my main concern was them crossing towards their 17 jumping ST + I find the wide players to track more than LAM/RAM. They scored from a corner, apart from that didn't test us much. 

Done 😀
Love these challenges. Thank you.

Very very very difficult challenge. People rioting all the time… Rivals hard to beat…

Sometimes I don't understand how the squads made up in the Eredivisie, with reserves, under-18s, etc… sometimes first team players are not available and I don't  know why, but this is the beauty of the game!

 Many thanks for these amazing challenges!

How the hell did someone achieve 41 points without abusing save/load? It means winning 100% of the games. Sounds… unlikely.

Hi @Footygamer 

nice challenge, we not sure what people do on their offline save but im suggesting that the final top team to playing on draft, thats only can know who is the best among all 

Yes a lot of people cheating, I noticed in the first save. But whatever. I'm doing it for fun. But I play manager games since Elifoot. And there is no way some of the results shown are done without cheating. And I'm not even saying Load/Reload, I'm talking more about Software to enhance various aspects of the team.

Results submitted.

Did the hard part, getting into the playoff with the last match of the season, but then went out 7-6 on aggregate in the semifinals. Still, it was an exciting end to the challenge, the first 95% of which I did believe was indeed impossible.

Incidentally, I don't know why my failures keep appearing so high in the leaderboard. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong in the submission.

41 points, +14 GD

XDDDDDDDDDDD

Yup, that means that person scored 42 goals while giving away only 2 in 12 games with every game won.
It's not even unlikely, it is plain cheating, since at the start of the save, the team has horrible Classification stats + Team morale and cohesion. 
He doesn't even fake he is using FMRTE to fix these issues on the software, and the worst part is that he got approved in front of most people. We already know the final winner. I'll keep playing for the fun of it, but it's sad af.

He even trashed Ajax 7:0 xD Unbelievable that it got approved.

I've asked for the save file 🙂

nikolai laursen has an ew fan in me.

The current leader has deleted his account without explanation 🤷‍♂️

ive dm'ed the admin about that second upload & ill post it here too cause i owe yall an apology for that bullshit result, sorry for the inconvenience guys

We all know the explanation xD But he is not the only one. I understand it's difficult for you guys. People just can't be honest. Anyways, it is a lot of fun.

I am a bit confused as to how you get a gold medal.  The rules state that you have to avoid relegation with a positive goal difference but does that mean a positive difference within the games you have played or the season overall?  If it is the season overall then there are folks on the leaderboard with gold medals but with a negative goal difference.  Can anyone clarify please?

Got the last goals needed for positive GD on the final day of the season. Amazing stuff! This was a tough one. Never thought it was going to be possible.

1 - The gold medal has nothing to do with goals. It's the position you get in the League.
2 - The total points you make + GD is only going to be useful in terms of draw between 2 users. That's how I understand it.
3 - As for the goals, At least I am posting them as total goals of the team (not only under my management), since you also give the total points of the team overall.
4 - I can understand people getting GD positive, some people are good, but clearly there are people cheating. There is no way, not even with a bugged tactic, that you can win every game for an average of 4 goals or more in the last 12 games with Heracles in their situation. When you pick up the save, the teams moral and cohesion is in the sh*t and you don't get time to work it out… The game is not only about tactics and not even a broken bugged tactic can give you that unless the save was about Man City, and even then it would be difficult to accomplish.

A positive GD in the league after all games played. I got it on the final day. Those aren't approved yet and should be listed as ‘Silver’. 

Yeah, I struggled massively to even get close. Never thought it was going to get possible. Only dropped 2 points though after a 0-0 draw against Ajax. It can't be possible to get +5-10 GD without using something. It was a really tough challenge. Had some luck with Free Agents though. £0 relegation release clause for the win ngl. 

i wish to upload my tactics

Sorted now 🙂

I really don't know how many people cheat in these challenges and, apart from activating saves after each match (which it can be turned off in the preferences if you want), i don't know how to control it.

But believe me when I say that cheating in a “familiar” competition, just to get a free copy of FM25, IS VERY MISERABLE and I really hope you enjoy it.

I can expect unbelievable and really successful results from a few people (it's FM! What the hell!), but to win every game, starting from the bottom of the league after a disaster in the first round? very unlikely.

From my side, if I smell in the next challenge that someone has cheated, I will withdraw. No worries.

I agree with you. But a lot of people cheat. I once was part of a community where 20 people were playing online in a league. The host was constantly teasing everyone and winning everything. Until suddenly he got a youngster that was basically Lukaku, he cloned the player, gave him another name but forgot to lower the current ability and also forgot to take the international caps off xD A lot of us complained, he gave a lot of excuses but most let it slide. So I stayed on him. I started analysing his team thoroughly through my analysts. I put the max game analysis of his team a lot of games before our match. And I noticed his team was moral MAX, training MAX, Fitness MAX on every game including in the game previous to mine. This included players that had 0 games, MAX match fit and max moral. He was caught using FMRTE, he edited before every match to be top notch. I discovered that 3 or 4 of his friends were also into it, since only the host could cheat with FMRTE, he would create top youngsters for their teams and also make deals for good players for them for cheap. This was in an online community, where everybody was having fun and participating. It was a total lack of honesty and disrespect… after we discovered, they ended up admiting it and the community basically disbanded. But all of this to say… people do that for fun, disrespecting people and their time, why would they not make it here? lol
PS - I'm one of those who saves the game a lot (the game crashes a lot and I hate to waste time). Nothing was told about save limits, but for the future, the Moderators can add a limit of saves they consider plausible and no one can go off that limit. I'm cool with it.

I didn't mean the number of saves was suspicious. I also saved a lot because sometimes the game gets stuck when I compose a team before the match by saying "you have not chosen any player to play" and automatically deleting all my squad (I think this crash comes from a personalised skin but I am not able to solve it).

I mean, it is pretty pathetic to cheat on a fun challenge game just to win a free copy of fm25. However cheaters do it, it's pretty sad and I hope it gave them a lot of fun or pleasure or whatever and they finally get their free copy.

And if I can avoid wasting my free time with pathetic people like them, I don't want to be a part of their "pleasure".

I really hate people who pretend to cheat in an open, fun, free and fair competition. It is completely insane.
