#541052 Kickers Offenbach | The Revival Challenge
HeadCoachFM
It's an open forum. Sorry I'm the only person who seems interested in sharing challenges I guess..? Feel free to contribute something.
#537581 Kickers Offenbach | The Revival Challenge
HeadCoachFM
Today I've got a Revival Challenge for you guys, a challenge that involves bringing a once great club back to greatness! The first club we're looking at for this challenge is Kickers Offenbach, who became the first club outside the Bundesliga to win the German Cup back in 1970 and subsequently uncovered a massive scandal involving bribes & payoffs in German football. They have since fallen down to the 4th tier of the German pyramid, but with their contributions to the integrity of German football as well as their record-breaking cup run of 1970, they present an interesting challenge. Can you secure the German Cup for this club once again? For the database expanding the German pyramid, see the links below:
#536921 FC Mitte Berlin | The Embassy Challenge
HeadCoachFM
Today I've got another Embassy Challenge for you guys featuring the fictional FC Mitte Berlin, a Russian club set to compete in the German 3. Liga! The club is located in Mitte, the central borough of Berlin where the Russian Embassy resides. As the club is based in Russia, the youth regens will come through as Russian and the club philosophies include signing Russian players and developing players using the club's youth system. The club is owned by Vladimir Putin and sponsored by the energy corporation Gazprom so your financial support will be relatively high, though unfortunately it seems the 3. Liga clubs start without transfer budgets regardless of any editor changes. With nearly 3,000,000 Russian citizens living in Germany and 300,000 living in Berlin you've got a large, passionate fanbase to build upon as you rise up the divisions. I also have some custom kits for this challenge! For the database, logo, & kit downloads see the links below:
#535977 Burgess Hill Town FC | The Hometown Challenge
HeadCoachFM
Today I've got a challenge designed just for you guys, the Hometown Challenge! If your hometown club isn't playable in the base game or you live somewhere that doesn't even have a club, drop a comment and I'll make a custom database for you! If your club is in the base game but you want me to make some changes, feel free to suggest those as well! I'm welcome to any suggestions.
For the first Hometown Challenge I've edited a database enabling the English lower leagues and adding an Underwriter Sugar Daddy to Burgess Hill Town F.C., an 8th tier club with a long history devoid of top flight football. It's up to you to change that and drag them up the divisions for the first time in their history. If you're interested in the challenge, see the links below. If you have a different club in mind, let me know!
#534848 Red Bull Paris
HeadCoachFM
Red Bull have acquired Paris FC to apply their winning formula with the hopes of overtaking PSG! Finances, facilities, & Sugar Daddy have been increased, with the 50,000-capacity Red Bull Arena set to be constructed in 2022. Custom kits also included!

#532313 Bury AFC | The Phoenix Challenge
HeadCoachFM
Today we're looking at another phoenix club, Bury AFC! This club was formed as the unofficial, fan-based successor to Bury FC who were expelled from the Football League before the 2019-20 season for serious financial troubles. The club is set to compete in the North West Counties League Division One, the 10th tier of the English pyramid, so you've got quite a long challenge ahead of you if you decide to give it a go. The Shakers will compete in the old Bury FC stadium, Gigg Lane, in the game despite their current stadium-share with Radcliffe. With over 1500 season ticket holders, you'll likely have plenty of income from gate receipts to carry you up the lower divisions over the first few years of your journey. If you're interested in trying out the save, check the links below:
#531486 Bristol Cannabis Club | The 4/20 Challenge
HeadCoachFM
Happy holidays y'all! Today's challenge is a 4/20-themed challenge featuring a newly-created League One side, Bristol Cannabis Club! The Tokers will play their matches in the 42,000-capacity roof-covered Hotbox Arena and train in the 420-capacity Reefer Road training ground. You have a budget of £420,000 to start, but you'll have to fill out an entire squad as I haven't added any players with the editor. The club's affiliated with Las Vegas Lights FC, who became the first professional sports team to partner with a cannabis business back in 2018. For the downloadable database & logo, see the links below:
#530662 Newcastle United F.C. | Rich Takeover Challenge
HeadCoachFM
Today's challenge is a result of the recent takeover rumors regarding Newcastle United F.C. and Amanda Staveley's PCP Capital Partners, a large share of which is owned by Saudi crown prince, Mohammad Bin Salman! As such, I decided to create a database giving them a foreground sugar daddy and making Amanda Staveley the club's new chairwoman. I also did a simulated experiment to see how the club would progress organically, with the club finally grabbing their first title in over a century under Julian Nagelsmann in 2032. My challenge for you is to win the title before 2032 using the club's newfound riches! For the downloadable database, see the links below:
#529670 The DC Challenge | Gotham City F.C. & Metropolis Meteors F.C.
HeadCoachFM
I've got a very special challenge for you guys, the DC Challenge! I've created Gotham City F.C. & Metropolis Meteors F.C., based on the DC Comics cities notoriously home to superheroes Batman & Superman! Gotham City F.C., owned by billionaire Bruce Wayne, and Metropolis Meteors F.C., owned by the much less affluent Clark Kent, are set to compete in the MLS in 2021 as rivals. As such, you'll need to simulate to 2021, but with only the MLS loaded, that shouldn't take long! If you're interested in testing your metal in the most confusing league in the world, check the links below for the database and accompanying graphics, as well as a guide on how to install them!

#528839 The Successor Challenge
HeadCoachFM
The Successor Challenge involves taking over the successor to a once great club and bringing them to the heights of the aforementioned club and beyond!
The club I've chosen for the first part of this challenge is F.C. Metalist 1925 Kharkiv, successor to the once third-biggest Ukrainian club, F.C. Metalist Kharkiv, behind only Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv. With a population of over 1.4 million people, Kharkiv is the second-largest city in Ukraine and the second-largest city in all of Europe without a top-flight team of its own. As such, you have a massive fanbase to build upon, so it should make for an interesting save! If you're interested in trying out the save, all you need to do is select the Ukrainian First Division at the beginning of your save and choose F.C. Metalist 1925 Kharkiv, as there's no custom database needed for this challenge. However, if you'd like to expand the Ukrainian pyramid down to the Third Division, I've included a link to a custom database that includes that expansion. Check the links below!
#527823 F.C. Valdelavilla (English Club in the Spanish Pyramid)

#527444 FM 2020 Challenge | RB Liverpool | The Red Bull Challenge
HeadCoachFM
Today I've got a challenge for you based on a story I was doing on my YT channel before I decided to focus on challenge videos, Red Bull Liverpool!

#527305 New Subreddit for FM Challenges!
HeadCoachFM
#527088 Operation Nine Elms - Failed
HeadCoachFM
Some of you may remember this FM 2019 Story, where I created an American "soccer team" and placed them in the English football pyramid to improve the level of U.S. "soccer" by bringing through mostly American talent. I decided to revive the old club in FM 2020 with the editor, with a few small tweaks! I also created a new logo for the team, and put them in the Sky Bet League One, replacing Bury rather than the competing in the Vanarama National League. If you're interested in giving the save a go feel free to download the custom database below! If you're interested in trying this challenge with a different nationality club in a different foreign country, go ahead and watch my challenge guide on how this can be achieved!

#527084 FM 2020 Challenge | Nine Elms United F.C. | The Embassy Challenge
HeadCoachFM
Today I've got a different sort of challenge for you guys. This one involves creating a club based on a selected embassy from anywhere in the world to compete in the foreign country that the given embassy resides in! I created the American club Nine Elms United F.C. to compete in England to improve the level of U.S. "soccer," but feel free to create your own custom team wherever you want!

#526893 SC Preußen Münster: a Journeyman story?
HeadCoachFM
Yeah sounds like you've got a good thing going there! To be honest I'll probably just try to work towards a career in football journalism rather than coaching as that seems more tailored to my skills, but who knows!
#526892 RB Liverpool
HeadCoachFM
We finally reach the end of our first season as we face Lincoln City and Peterborough, seeking to reward all our hard work with a promotion to the Championship! It's a dramatic one!
#525921 RB Liverpool

Today we take on Accrington Stanley and Lincoln City in League One, seeking to retain our promotion playoff spot as we approach the end of our first season! Regen wonderkids Brad Russell and Nick Miller also take center stage as we finally begin to live up to the Red Bull name!

#524780 FM 2020 Challenge | Darwen F.C. | “The English Game"
HeadCoachFM
I've got a challenge for you guys based on Netflix's new period drama series "The English Game," revolving around the now-extinct working-class club Darwen F.C. The end-goal is to win the FA Cup with them using their classic 2-3-5 control possession tactic, and you start with 4 of the players from the show, Fergie Suter, Jimmy Love, Tommy Marshall, and Ted Stokes! I've linked my YouTube video describing the full challenge to the image above. Enjoy!

#524168 RB Liverpool
HeadCoachFM
In today's episode of RB Liverpool we try to right the ship before it sinks as we take on Bolton Wanderers and Blackpool in the league!
#523371 RB Liverpool
HeadCoachFM
Today we go up against the Liverpool U23s in the match-up of the season for the Leasing.com Trophy 3rd Round with the hopes of securing some silverware in our first season! We then face Southend United in the EFL League One amid another poor run of form as we seek to retain our spot in the promotion race.
#523257 Finishing the 2019/20 Season
HeadCoachFM
#523125 RB Liverpool
HeadCoachFM
As we near the halfway mark in our first season, we face League Two title contenders Bradford City in the Leasing.com Trophy 2nd Round with the hopes of meeting our local rivals' reserves, the Liverpool U23s, later in the competition. Amidst a difficult patch of league form, we then go up against title competitors Lincoln City away in a very tight fixture!
#522745 F.C. Valdelavilla (English Club in the Spanish Pyramid)
HeadCoachFM
I'm incredibly disappointed to announce my shocking dismissal from FC Valdelavilla. After single-handedly carrying this club up from the depths of the Spanish third division to become an established top flight team, the board decided it was time for a change due to a poor run of form midway through the 2027-28 season.
We were expected to finish 14th by the media, a slight improvement on last year's 800-1 title odds that left us predicted to finish 15th. Rather than beating the odds as we have done nearly every year throughout the season, we performed about as they expected.
We were 16th in table at the time of my dismissal following an admittedly awful run of form in which we only managed 9 points from 12 matches (2-3-7). The board expected a mid-table finish, which I believe was still more than attainable, but they saw differently.
My only consolation was the fact that my staff followed me out the door, as my sacking turned out to be an unpopular decision amongst not only them but the fans and players as well. This has made me consider continuing the save, though F.C. Valdelavilla was really my whole purpose for the save. Not sure where to go from here or if I should just shut it down now and accept defeat once again. Any thoughts? Condolences welcome as well, lol.
#522718 SC Preußen Münster: a Journeyman story?
HeadCoachFM
Well there are a ton of teams across the country so there are certainly plenty of opportunities in the field. However, the level of football is nowhere near the standard of Europe so I've never really been interested in USL or MLS but if I pursue football as a career that's probably the route I'd have to go before moving abroad. Most universities offer a Sports Management major which is what I'm currently studying, but most of the job prospects after uni for this major are sales-related or administrator roles so tbh I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do after I graduate. What about Germany?
#522455 RB Liverpool
HeadCoachFM
In the fourth episode of my RB Liverpool series we face bottom-of-the-table Gillingham in the FA Cup 1st Round before a Leasing.com Trophy group stage match against Manchester United's U23s!
