Aye if you qualify in your second season, in your last then you will be eligible.

Take a look at Enes Ünal with Bursaspor, can be gotten on the cheap and can score goals in the Turkish league. I got rid of Webo in my first season, that helped with gaining some monies in.

If you can find a good replacement then yes, sell him. You could offload a few of them to be fair.

When I played tested this run a few months back, had to say first season was tough because it was a little tough getting rid of players. When the loans came back, I did my best to sell who I didn't want to generate more funds. Without European football monies however it's a little tough but when you play the bigger teams who are involved in European football, your squad is a little fresher.

Stage Four Takes Flight To Turkey



Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü are one the oldest and most successful sides in Turkey, and they will be your club to manage for this scintillating fourth stage of the tour. In a tough period somewhat are Fener, one of your first jobs will need you to look at the staff both on and off the field. The training facilities and the youth system produce the odd gem and you will work with some money to help you dominate your rivals and continue to qualify for European football. Despite this you are in somewhat of a pickle. Problems from previous seasons has meant a ban for Fener in Europe and a no qualification period in the first year of qualifying meaning precious European money is at a premium. You are one of the biggest clubs not just in Turkey but fairly well known in Europe itself. A side that possesses some Turkish and foreign starts but an ageing squad. Do you have what it takes to keep up the domestic expectations expected of the Sarı Kanaryalar? Can you give this big club another period of celebration?

So Michael Sam the first openly gay player has been drafted late into round 7. Its great for him and should have been drafted higher but like many people it probably would have been better going Undrafted at that stage so he can go to a scheme he fits


Fisher will look after him. He will fit in there.

On another note, this could be the last leg of the tour.

Humam Tariq is without a doubt an excellent bargain and a top talent that is available for just £500K at the start of the game. The only real bad news is sometimes struggles for a work permit for sides in Britain. The other slight issue is that you won’t be able to wait too long for him as there are several European clubs ready to make a bid for him at the start of the game.

He was snapped up by Roma in my save, spent a couple of seasons on loan before being bought by Juventus for almost £30 million pounds. Roma got a good deal as well considering that the lad didn't play that much football. He developed very well, especially on the technical side, but he also has good speed and agility plus excellent mental attributes. Definitely worth buying, but might take time to adapt.

The Stats:

Name: Humam Tariq
Age: 16 / 17
Position: AMC/AML
Role: Trequartista / Enganche / Advanced Playmaker / Shadow Striker / Attacking Midfielder
Club: Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya (Iraq)
Nationality: Iraqi
Value: £250K
Price tag: £500K (in patch 14.3.0)

CA / PA:
CA: 110 / PA: -9 (between 150 and 180)

Are you looking for an impossible challenge? If so, Barry Town is for you.


One should not jest at the plight of Barry Town United. A scandalous affair. Once the one team in Wales that might have progressed in terms of European football was ruined by Fashanau and ripped apart by Lovering.

A team that once beat the might of Porto at home with a young Ricardo Carvalho starting. Sadly it was not to be as Deco in Porto tore Barry apart.



The Welsh team? I don't like custom databases, too many bugs in most just sticking with the default.

I take it you've tried it. How did you fare?


There is one on SI by CymruAmBythXV and it's pretty damn excellent. I would highly recommend it.

Spain is in my thoughts, don't want too many big European leagues though as I don't want to get sucked into just managing in the big nations.

Had a look on Steam and there is a Dutch DB that goes to the third tier, but I want to go down further. Gonna fanny on in the editor in the next few weeks and see what I can cook up.


Have you checked the Editors forum over on the SI website? Some pretty deep leagues in some of those areas.

This leg also doesn't seem as popular as the other ones.


Aye, which is slightly disappointing. Considering this challenge is a little different and involves players going to a new country and a league that is not always played. Will look at making a revision on the schedule destinations.

It's a tough situation with Bonazzoli, but that is part of the challenge.

As for the youth system, they do have some good prospects so could be worth investing some time in there.

United should now chase Klopp if they are looking for a manager who would be good for the long term.

They missed out on targets prior to Moyes, the hierarchy need to show some guile by getting hold of Klopp. Exactly the manager United need. Will transform the club for the better.

For temp, give it to Giggs, cannot do any worse than Moyes.
