Introduction
Hello one and all! Welcome to the Journeyman King, I've never successfully achieved anything in a journeyman save before, hence the name. It was requested by my followers on twitch. I'm a streamer for FMScout over on Twitch and with more spare time I'm able to do more youtube, starting from scratch and not via the fmscout youtube! Hopefully you guys enjoy my content. I've been meaning to do a journeyman save for a while, i just love the idea of going to other nations and learning all the weird and wonderful rules there is, and probably mess up along the way. Not only that but the feeling of going from a nobody to one of the best managers in the world is amazing. All the leagues have been loaded so we could find ourselves anywhere in the world!

Season 8 - Complete





Well what a season this was for my first ever time managing in Austria on any FM I've played it was a very good league with tons of games being played to a point where it was 4 games a week! And like i said in my previous post my squad wasn't that big and i had no idea this many games was going to be played so at points i was plagued with injuries and suspensions! I think the keepers had 31 apps and the other one at 27! So everybody got game time but i never really went of a win streak due to the amount of games being played which made me struggle in the league!





Now onto the cup competitions and jesus christ i was so close to making it the final of the Euro Cup couldn't believe it! In all honesty the only team i struggled against was Monaco, i didn't win it was 2 draws and i went through on away goals. My group wasn't too bad either Napoli, Rubin and Ludogrets a very winnable group. The first two knockout rounds was pretty simple despite not doing very well away from home i destroyed team in my fortress making it hard for them to play their football, obviously the cup ties don't matter in this challenge but i still wanted to win once i got to the semi-final! I did win the Austrian FA Cup which is another trophy added to my collection!





I kinda knew this would happen, Rapid Wein are a pretty good team at the minute and to be honest i only need about 3 players next season to be in with a shot of challenging them, end of the day they only won it by 2 points which is really nothing at all. I've qualified for the Champions League and I'm kind of hoping i don't qualify so i can concentrate on the league but if i do then I'll receive quite a lot of money if i don't finish 1st next season so it's a win win situation really. I'm enjoying it in Austria so being here another season doesn't bother me too much.





A few mentions to some of the players Sami Khedia and Kalas was the only players to play the full 54 games which i was surprised about Sami being the age he is! My AMR scored 21 goals on the wing and absolutely destroyed most teams he was fantastic! The strikers did very well too though my top scorer was the guy i had on loan so i will have to replace him next season.





The bank balance as increased from the Euro Cup and i doubt I'll see too much of it for next season but i only need a few players.

Season 8 - Pre Season





I didn't really get much of a say in these friendlies because i was just all over the place trying to arrange the squad and look for new players i had no time to even consider looking at the friendlies! We didn't do very well though!





Onto transfers now and to avoid confusion I've highlighted the players who signed for the club by the old manager before i arrived and I'm glad i did arrive there are some fantastic players he's got there after the contracts had expired! Sami Khedia is 33 but for this league he'll be fantastic! As well as Kalas but I'm not sure about the rest of them, I've added a few loans when i joined to get the squad a little bit bigger.





This is my squad for the forthcoming season, it's not very big either like i said i didn't have long to arrange transfers before the season start but I'm sticking to this, this team is probably more quality over quantity, if i need to make any signings in January i will do.





And finally the finances, like i said i didn't have much say in anything so by time i got in most of the wage budget was gone, he did some good signings though so not bothered!

Season 8 - The Club





It took me a while to get a job this time! I didn't get the job till around the 4th of July and it only gave me a week or two to bring in the players i need so in theory time was against me! You may be wondering how i got the job at Salzburg who usually win the title all the time? Well they finished 5th in the league last season and the manager got sacked leaving me to fill in. I'm looking forward to my time here!





Just to show you what they've won and when the last time they won a trophy, the clubs eager to win the league this season and we have a good squad to do it!





Despite finishing 5th last season we are still predicted to finish 1st for the season ahead.

Season 7 - Complete





As you can see it's a very small league and you play each other twice making it only 14 games which is very small for this league and didn't take very long at all! I had a few good runs here and there the 4 win streak at the start of the season was good!





The first time in this story where I've managed to go into a nation and win it first time around which is a brilliant feeling! We pretty much destroyed most teams even though i had no idea which players was good or not! They all seemed the same and nobody stood out but I'm delighted to finish 1st.





And the squad now and i can't really comment on this too much as i didn't really feel the vibe from any player and nobody stood out but we did well to win the league!





And now they are richer than the start of the season as they literally don't pay anything out! They should be upgrading the youth system or training facilities every year but they don't! But why would you upgrade it if your players are amateur and if they produce a good player they wouldn't make anything!





I'm so happy to leave!! Don't think i could of taken another season in that league.

Season 7 - Pre Season





Due to it being quite a short season, i think only 14 games a season i decided to add quite a few friendlies to gel the team together and they seemed to do pretty well to be honest 11 friendlies with 23 goals scored and 19 goals conceded, obviously some big problems in defence and to be honest everyone is on amateur contracts so on the find players part it's impossible to see who's good and who's not!





Transfers now and i haven't signed many at all and the ones i got rid of was all 16/17 year olds as they don't have a reserves part so they are stuck in the first team so in all fairness the squad as probably improved a little bit but i couldn't tell you as all the players look the same and nobody stands out!





Here is the squad for the season and i mainly released all the AMCs and DMs they had due to them not fitting my formation, as i said it's hard to see who's good and who you sign but hopefully with my attacking style football I'll score more goals than i do concede and win it first time of asking!





Finances are pointless, i don't get to see any of it!!!!!!!

Season 7 - The Club





After I noticed Toofan finished 7th i jumped in for a interview as usually they finish top of the league every season so to see them finish 7th was a little bit strange so i declared interest in the job and they accepted my after the interview offering me a contract. Now it's time to investigate why they finish so low in the table after being predicted to finish 1st last season, maybe the manager was just bad.





I've just fount out the club was on formed in 2012! So there must be something about them to be predicted to finish 1st! As you can see they've won the title 4 times and this was probably the only season they finished this low! It's a big difference going from Burreli and Xazar who had loads of money to a amateur club, I'll have to adapt quickly!





Finances are surprisingly good and the chairman is obviously pocketing all the money they make as we are still amateur!! We have all the money and the dickhead won't change us from amateur to give me a wage budget. I can see this season being fun already.





Some information on the club now and as you can see was was predicted to finish 1st last season so I'm hoping It won't be too tough as finishing 7th when you're predicted to finish 1st is quite a big gap! Theres obviously something wrong.





I'll be honest I've never heard of any of these clubs in this league!





And finally the players, not much i can say really not sure where to start.
