I missed watching Northampton Town on the Football League Show as I am abroad. Did Alex Nicholls leg break look bad? Top scorer injured for a long time - typical. At least we won.

Here's a feed of a webcam stuck on the top of the New York Times building - http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/10/28/nyregion/nyt-webcam.html

Only a still picture every 30 seconds but decent enough.

Manager of the Year:

1st Me

Player's Team of the Year:

Kalinic and Ivovic in starting line-up, Ruiz on bench

Top Goalscorer:

1st Zoran Kalinic

I think a few of my players got left out of this a bit. Vaseljevic was brilliant - outperforming Suomi, who also played well. Carvajal (RB) and Hansen (CB) were key to our defence.

Not really in a writing mood tonight. Feeling ill, and it is 10:42 right here in Thailand.

Cheers for the comment Dan. Thought you were ignoring my successes! I hope many others can endure this many years! Luckily despite this time playing this game, I have time for a supposed 'life' aswell as providing a decent story. Won't be buying any new FM's for a while anyway, so I am trying to keep this going.

Would love more comments!
#14258 Taking on the World Challenge
Cheik It Out

Basically, what I have done with my thread (shameless self advertising - please read it!)

Basically, you have to win everything. Every national, international competition, which can be from the Swedish 2nd Division to the World Cup. It is virtually impossible - I am trying to tame it, but even in 2039, I have probably only completed 2% of the trophies available!

Rules:
Win every trophy in the game, without the need for extra downloaded leagues. See how far you get!

I might keep track of people who attempt this and do a DanW19 style table, with maybe a countries completed/trophies won leaderboard. If I can be bothered. Anyway good luck!
#14255 Hierarchy Challenge
Cheik It Out

Nicked this off another site. Another decent challenge which looks like it is impossible.

The ultimate aim of the hierachy challenge is to upset the established order of the English Premier League as we currently know it. To complete the challenge, you must reach a point in your save where all 20 premier league teams are different to what they currently are in real life. Ultimatly, I do not expect anyone to be able to ever complete this challenge, but change as many as you can.

To acheve this challenge, you can go about it any way you like as long as you stick to the rules:

1. You are only allowed to manage teams that are currently in the Championship or below in real life. This prevents purpously sabotaging a team in order to make sure that they do not get back to the premier league. If Cardiff for example got promoted in your game, then you are allowed to take charge of them in the premier league. The same goes for if you get a team promoted, you are allowed to continue managing them in the premier league.

2. Start the challange at any team in the championship or below, but your profile must have sunday league reputation. You must build up your reputation to get a job once you move on from the club you start at, if you choose to.

3. Do not add a manager at any point. All of the challenge must be completed with only one manager so that you cannot just take any job you want, after the start of the game.

4. Do not holiday any of your game. Otherwise you can try to holiday untill the teams have changed around. (Even though this will never happen of the games own accord)

5. You must be at a club for at least 1 year before moving or resigning. There must also be a maximum of a 1 year between leaving one club, and finding another.

6. After every season post screen shots of the current teams in the premier league, the history of the clubs you have been at and the screen that shows your time spent on holiday. Any other screen shots of fixtures, league tables ect, would be welcome.

7. You can play in either classic mode, or the normal game mode.

8. Do not use genie scout, or the editor.

9. If you finish the challenge (which you won't) then write it in huge capital letters with a screen shot of the league table.

10. Have fun and if you break the rules, it is only yourself that you are cheating.

Zoran Kalinic's efforts this season have been unimaginably amazing. He is one hatrick away from goal number 50 in the league this season. He has single handedly won about a 3rd of our matches. This was one of them. 2 out of the 3 shots were from outside the area. I just hope I can hang onto him because he is world class. He is transfer listed by request, as our board can't afford to pay for the big contract he wants.

Anyway, Man U lost their game, so we are 1st with 1 game to play

We have done well to turn our form around. Kalinic is scoring again, and I have swapped my main tactic again to the 4-1-2-3 which is going well - Ivovic, Kalinic and Aarab are playing really well.

Gotta win that match, to secure 1st place. Hoping Man U drop some points. We have a superior GD as we scored fuck loads of goals this season.

3 losses, 1 draw plus two losses which has taken me out of the cup. Need to turn this round, or we might not even get CL football! Some clubs are improving rapidly and gaining on us, even Arsenal have overtaken us into 1st! Also, Liverpool and Spurs are bottom half, and City and Chelsea aren't doing well either! The clubs chasing us are Crystal Palace, Burnley and Wolves!

I am just sharing my great wonderkid list Want all people who are interested to know about it.

I'm still at FM Crowd of course.


I used to really love reading your blogs, but I am just getting bored because of the clubs you chose. I really hate QPR and Nottingham Forest! Sorry! I loved you Boston and Leeds ones. I just didn't like those two because they are ready made clubs for success as they have rich owners and lots of money to spend!

Here is my the best FM 13 wonderkids list. It consists of nearly 550 U21 players and is being extended with new players continuosly. Every player is depicted by name, club, age, country, price value and salary. Talents are categorized into groups by position (GK, ML, DC, FC, etc.). Convenient sorting by columns is available. But in my opinion the most impressive thing making the list even more comfortable is TFM rating for every player.

The list of talents contains a lot of young stars starting from well-known Varane, Verratti, Alaba, ter Stegen, Romulo, Hazard, Shaqiri and ending with cheap prospective guys like Dongou, Stanciu, Marquinhos, Otavio, Hoffman, Vico, Ninkovic, Labyad, Hartherz, Schnitzler...



Vitaliy, is that you? Used to be part of FMCrowd, left for here! Ha! Sorry

Crossing out works

crossed out

[s]crossed out[/s]
Centering can be done in one of two ways but you're right I should add it to the buttons.


[center]crossed out[/center]
[centre]crossed out[/centre]
And multiple spoilers seems to work, i'm not sure what you mean?

This is a spoiler

This is another spoiler


A spoiler in a spoiler

like:

It didn't work yesterday.

Yeah, if you could get the centre and crossed out options on the top bar, that would be much easier!

Also, when colouring writing, I don't know what I have to write to get that colour. I know that blue, red and the obvious ones work, but maybe a list needs to be put up somewhere to be able to choose a colour or something

Bubble gonna burst?

A loss after 21 games! :O I hope it doesn't lead to a bad end-of-season, but we can only wait and see. We are still top by 2 points with a game in hand though, just hope this doesn't end in a very bad run.

We didn't make hard work at all of our qualifying group. No goals conceded. Easy

http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee495/criscros88/AfricanCupofNationsQualifyingOverview_Stages-1.jpg


We got put in a group with Ghana, Senegal and Zambia - all 3 were dangerous teams. We won comfortably against Ghana, 1-0 lost despite dominating against Senegal, and only just beat Zambia - we held onto a 1 goal cushion for most of the game.

http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee495/criscros88/AfricanCupofNationsOverview_Stages-1.jpg


We then faced Mali

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eG81vohX09I4Ooier1yvCk6nesaKy5gFq6rYkyHC.png


An easy win in the end, made look amazing by magical last 10 minute hatrick of Chukwu Kwairanga. We then faced Ivory Coast - my least favourite team (they put us out of the World Cup qualifiers), and one of the only other teams which scared me going into this.
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/a7zwdoDFoWqzL9xIU5qfTR5C7DaEMGrTgOvlnHTb.png


We dominated the match - something my teams are good at, but our finishing was poor. Still we won, but I am sure we could've scored more than 2! Into the Final against South Africa. They have a quality teams with a few quality individuals!
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/pD5ePabTOYfnlTXcaQh3MEv3IKDgnB0HqHwK0mHp.png


Yay! An even match, but we should've been ahead early on, when Kwairanga missed a penalty - _ should've let a more experienced player take it! Our team has grown up into an amazing squad - 4 years ago when I took over, Kwairanga, Williams, Skinn and Obi - 4 key players hadn't even got into one of my squads. We have only lost 1 match in two years - and that was to Senegal! We have to qualify for the World Cup now - I intend to make this a long term project!


I might bring some awards and stats and stuff to you but right now, I am going to go and update the first post! Another tournament in the bag!

Okay, I will start by saying I have no idea how we are doing this well. People would usually call me a 'cheat', but I can prove in various ways how I am not. I use a tactic - which I will show on here - that I downloaded as I couldn't find one which worked with the same formation, and tweaked it a bit to suit my players! Seriously, I don't know whether at the moment I am having amazing luck, and soon we will go on a spiral down the table, but right now, we are winning every match.

The Tactic:

http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee495/criscros88/QueensParkRangersTactics_TeamInstructions.png


A normal 4-1-2-2-1 with good players. I need to buy a right winger, as Aarab is usually intended for my 4-1-2-3 formation.

The Table:

http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee495/criscros88/EnglishPremierDivisionOverview_Stages-2-1.jpg


Yes, I am top. By a fluke really. No one in my team has played badly - the only one in my team up in the tactics bit who has an AR below 7 is Ljubicic.

Our Fixtures:

http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee495/criscros88/QueensParkRangersFixtures_Fixtures-4-1.jpg


Not really any outstanding ones. Funny to play 3 Welsh teams playing in the English league system in a row in the League Cup!

Our Most Recent Match:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/1qIL4jiVcOazgehf0VU73ZyYbbkWH84VPPciNtsD.png


I honestly thought our run would end at Arsenal. In an even match, we just got two good goals after a very lively start. Nice to see Arsenal still dominating possession!

My Philosophy:

I buy well. I have two types of players I buy - Players under 21 who I think will make the first team setup (examples being Ruiz, Carvajal and Suomi - I also did this with Vaseljevic at Lustenau and look where he is now) AND players ready made for the team (Vaseljevic, Kalinic and Hansen).

Our Star Man:

Undoubtedly Zoran Kalinic. Bought him when he was top scorer of the nPower Championship at Leicester for £3 million. Now he has scored 22 goals in 18 games - the new RVP?

Vaseljevic has performed outstandingly with 9 assists to Suomi's two - the supposed attacking playmaker in the team.

Ivovic has been a star from AML and Carvajal has been a joy to watch from RB - despite not contributing much to the attacking side of things - 9.13 tackles a game is not to be sniffed at though.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Evtu451rYbbKXQf57eyrqRgCm3Le9dX6hwBgutAA.png


Our Position now?:

I am sure confidence plays a big part. When you are winning, you keep on winning, and when your team are down, you start to play badly. At the moment our team are sky high. I have seen players from the other 'big clubs' like Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea etc and their players are loads better than ours - I reckon only in terms of attributes, Suomi is the only player in our team that could get in theirs, maybe Carvajal aswell, but with our confidence, I can see us carrying on this

We are in a very good position. In League Cup Semi Finals, and topping the league. I am hoping to win at least one of those. But right now, I am preparing for the African Cup of Nations with Nigeria. Another update will be shortly due on that.

I would appreciate some comments. I know this is not FM 13, but I'm sure people can spare some time commenting on this.
