#794899 Sir Alex Ferguson Challenge
Kaleb Harkins
Sir Alex Ferguson Challenge
Everyone knows who Sir Alex Ferguson is, he is one of the most successful managers in history and most people's best manager in history, as a Scotsman myself I decided I would take a serious attempt at this challenge after I lost the save file of my FM21 attempt with West Ham, and I thought I'd share it on here so this one will last forever (or at least the memory of it in case I lose the save file again). But without further ado, here are the rules
Rules
Take over the club 19th in the table on November 6th - SAF took over Man Utd on November 6th when they 21st (League is no longer 22 teams hence why I'm taking over the club in 19th who are second bottom in the table)
Stay at that club - SAF was at United for 26 years and never managed elsewhere in England
No transfers with your direct rivals - whether that be selling, buying, or loaning players
No more than 11 signings per season and only 8 of those signings can play for the first team that season
Must have at least 1 homegrown player in every matchday squad however it is encouraged to promote as many youth players as possible
Must promote at least 1 youth academy player to the first team each season, once again the more the merrier in this aspect
Goals
The main goals of the challenge are as follows…
Win a Domestic Cup within 4 seasons - SAF won his first cup in the 89/90 season beating Crystal Palace 1-0 in the FA Cup Final replay
Win a League title within 7 seasons - SAF won his first title in the inaugural Premier League season in 92/93
Win a League and Cup double within 8 seasons - SAF won his first double in the 93/94 season
Win the League, Cup, and Champions League within 13 seasons - SAF won the first ever treble in English football history in the 98/99 season
All Ferguson's Trophies at Old Trafford
Premier League (13x)
FA Cup (5x)
League Cup (4x)
Community Shield (10x)
Champions League (2x)
Europa League (1x) - Replacing Cup Winners Cup
Super Cup (1x)
Club World Cup (2x) - One replacing Intercontinental Cup
I will be attempting to win all of these trophies and will keep track on a spreadsheet which will be shown at the end of each season
November 6th
As the clock ticks over to November 6th, this is how the Premier League table looks…
With the club now confirmed, it was time for the editor's only use for this save
The three formations I decided to use for this save were the following…
4-3-3
4-2-3-1
4-2-4
With the save ready to begin all we have to do now is look at the objectives the board has layed out
The objective of season one is top-half, a bit ambitious but we all need a bit of ambition in our lives.
Updates will be every in-game month
