#355232 The British Steel Challenge 2017
Cymro
Pretty sure the Scottish Cups that were missing are actually on the list ...
I've renamed the JPT to the EFL Trophy. Thanks for spotting that.
For me does not matter who wins the Scottish Challenge Cup, once it has been won it has been won, so once only.
#354991 Regen hair packs for 17?
Cymro
Personally the asking for a donation is something of a murky waters thing, as it could well set a precedent for people to charge for add ons, which I am personally not a fan of overall. Having it seen been done before and not being successful it is not a surprise that the kick starter did not get off the ground. Would hazard a guess it was probably due to the amount of money that was potentially being asked.
As always there is good and bad points from this, but ultimately it is disappointing if we don't see the hard work of @emildebski85 for FM17!

#353570 The Sir Alex Ferguson Challenge

Can do, do an end of season round up or why not open a thread in the career's section?
#353510 The Sir Alex Ferguson Challenge
Cymro
A popular challenge for several years now here on Susie. The retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 from football after 27 years at the helm at Old Trafford. Many supporters had never known another United manager and most agree that there will never be another quite like Fergie. The real life successors David Moyes and later Loius Van Gaal have struggled in the unenviable task of succeeding the most successful manager in British football history. are you the one to pick up the torch? succeeding the most successful manager in British football history.
That's where you come in....
Your challenge is to equal Sir Alex's trophy haul, there are several ways you can do this;
The Easy Way: - Start with Manchester United and rediscover the Red Devils's dominance of English football for another quarter of a century.
The Moderate Way: - Begin with a mid table English club who haven't won a league title in over 25 years and turn them into world beaters, developing several generations of new superstars along the way.
The Fergie Way: - Beginning in the Scottish Championship, take charge of any side for a season (SAF started at East Stirlingshire) You do not need to win a trophy here, eventually move on to a bigger Championship club (SAF: St. Mirren) and guide them to promotion. Eventually take over at an SPL side that is not a part of the Old Firm (SAF: Aberdeen), emulating the great man here will be the toughest part of the challenge, particularly in Europe (You'll be going for the Europa League instead of the now defunct Cup winners cup) Finally, after checking of Scotland you can move South of the border, taking on a fallen giant side from the Premiership (SAF: Manchester United) and guiding them to the staggering haul of silverware that Mr. Ferguson has amassed in his 27 years.
-Start with professional footballer set as your experience level.
-You may manage the Scottish national side during the course of your career as Sir Alex did briefly.
-Remember, Fergie's rule #1, No player is bigger than the club! if some prima donna starts acting up, give him the boot.
-If you manage to win the treble, you earn the right to nickname yourself 'Sir'

#353509 The Gary Speed Tribute Challenge
Cymro
A tribute to a Welshman with a vision. Gary Speed a true cult hero for many, a legend for some, one to be remembered for all. As a salute to Gary Speed's dedication to the Welsh national team and their current success, I've have decided to relight the challenge for people to try to emulate and surpass Speed's and Coleman's vision. Bring Glory to Wales, start with the foundations, a solid youth team. So, I thought that I'd make a spin off from the San Marino Challenge. Can you win the European Championships or even the World Cup with Wales? This one requires some dedication, since Swansea are already in the Prem, Cardiff are in the Championship, and Newport in League 2. The likes of Wrexham, Colwyn Bay and Merthyr are non-league. However, The main aspect to this Challenge is to nurture young Welsh talent and turn the national side into a contender. Now, Let's all think for a moment about the Barca team, That is a perfect example of home grown talent. Emulate that and bring pride to Wales!
If you want a longer term challenge than managing a Welsh Premier League side is the way to go. Managing the likes of Aberystwyth Town, Bangor City or TNS. The challenge is harder but possible.
Rules and Goals
- The youth academy must be able to produce youngsters for the national team.
- Your team consist of players from the same nationality.
- Manage the national team (can apply later on in the game).
- Win the World Cup with Wales
- Win the Euro's with Wales
- Win the Champions League with a Welsh side
Extra:- Control every team of the national team that competes in international tournaments (Main Squad, U23, U21, U19 most often).
- The team is playing in a league of another nationality.
All the best with this challenge.#353508 Down By Christmas?

The Challenge
It's simple really, you load up Football Manager (any version), create a manager (preferably a Holiday Manager) and holiday to the 25th December of that year. Once you are on the 25th of December, retire your holiday manager and create your manager profile and take over the team bottom of the league, your aim is simple: Save them from relegation. At the end of the season you resign/retire and go on to the next season doing the same with the aim of becoming a 'master' at saving the bottom team.
Possible Countries

#353507 The Pengaton Challenge
Cymro
The pentagon challenge has been around a long time now, but only those with the patience of a saint and the managerial skill of a god have managed to complete it.
All you have to do is collect all five champions league trophy’s in one save after beginning unemployed with a Sunday league reputation, this may sound straight forward and in theory it is, but in practice it could take 20+ years to check off all five.
It's up to you where you start off, I recommend downloading plenty of additional leagues and loading as many as your computer can handle to give yourself as many options as possible as you go along.
For masochists out there, you can make the pentagon even more difficult by extending it to a Hexagon, you will need to find editor data for it somewhere but it's possible to also compete in the OFC Champions League if you download New Zealand or any other Oceania nation.
You might also consider an international Hexagon by collecting all six continental championships, or even a double Hexagon with both club and international titles on your radar!
#353506 The Metropolitan Man Challenge
Cymro
An alternative to the Pentagon challenge
An interesting tread has appeared in European football for decades involving the geographical size of successful football clubs, as unearthed by sports economists Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski. Whilst provincial clubs in the likes of Glasgow, Nottingham and Rotterdam have all claimed Europe’s greatest football prize, the UEFA Champion’s League has never once been in the hands of any real metropolitan club. In fact, no club from within the seven largest metropolitan areas in Europe have won the Champion’s League- it is time for a managerial journeyman to step forward, put his pride on the line and assume the role of the Metropolitan Man.
This picture is from Berlin, one of the cities needed to complete this challenge
The rules are simple, and the difficulty of the challenge is up to you. Whether you start as a small club from a big city and work your way up or whether you start at a big club and try to flick between cities, it’s all about the way you play your FM game. But the difficult part is simple as to complete the challenge you have to win the UEFA Champion’s League…seven times.
Start at any club that is based in Istanbul, Paris, Moscow, St Petersburg, Berlin, Athens or the new metropolitan area on the list, Naples, and win the Champion’s League. Rinse and repeat until you have seven Champion’s Leagues on your managerial CV. There are little restrictions to the challenge; although just like with the Pentagon challenge, there are aspects that one can add to make this challenge more/less difficult.
City Slicker- start as a club in one of these seven geographical locations, and try to win all seven Champion’s Leagues without managing a club outside of those geographical constraints. This becomes harder and harder if you start to amass blots on your CV, because you’ll find that when you limit the job market to specific geographical zones, it becomes nearly impossible to be recruited.
No Dynasties- it can be tempting after you’ve won your first Champion’s League to start building a dynasty within your city, especially if you’re in one of the lesser divisions and have had to work especially hard to conquer Europe. The ‘No Dynasty’ rule means that once you won the Champion’s League with a club, you have to enjoy those news messages about how awesome you are, pack up your things and immediately resign.
List of clubs you can manage:
Paris- Paris FC, Paris Saint-Germain, Red Star, Racing Club
Istanbul- Kasimpasa SK, Kartal SK, Gungoren BS, Istanbul BB, Galatasaray AS, Fenerbahce SK, Besiktas JK
Athens- Ilioupoli, Kallithea, Ethnikos Asteras, Panionios, Atromitos, AEK Athens, Panathinaikos, Olympiakos
Berlin- FC Union Berlin, Hertha Berlin
Moscow- FC Spartak Moscow, Lokomotiv Moscow, Dynamo Moscow, CSKA Moscow, Torpedo Moscow
St Petersburg- FC Zenit St Petersburg, Petrotest, Dynamo St Petersburg
Rome- Roma, Lazio
#353505 The Sammarinese Challenge
Cymro
The Challenge
The basic idea is that you manage both the San Marino club side, (who start the game in Siere D Girone D), and the San Marino National Team, using the players produced by an improved club academy to benefit the NT in a long-term save. If you are just interested in a challenge that will take you a few seasons then this ISN'T for you. It is likely to be measured in terms of decades rather than seasons because it is likely that you will be the only club producing players of a sufficient quality to impact on the NT as soon as your NT gains any real level of success.
The Club
San Marino Calcio, (nicknamed Titani in English translates to The Titans). The club was founded as Società Sportiva Serenissima in 1960 by the San Marino Football Federation, in order to have a team representing the Republic of San Marino in the Italian league.. They have never played higher than Lega Pro Girone B, (where they are now), and have stayed in the same division as last year due to re-shuffle. They play within the Italian structure, (the only San Marino club to do so), and they are also the only professional football club in San Marino.
The Challenge Rules:
- No Limits on how many leagues you can load.
- No FMRTE or Genie Scout whatsoever.
- Once you’ve been sacked by the Club, the Challenge is over and you have to start again.
- Don’t have to start immediately with NT you can wait for as long as you would like.
- You can add Edited in Leagues such as the Sammarinese League.
- FMC can be used in this but you have to mention that you are using it
.Thread Rules
Player Naming is allowed along with talk about Tactics but no talk on downloadable tactics. If you want to download someoen else's tactics, (sigh), fine, just don't talk about it in here please.
When joining the Challenge please post a photo of your Manager’s Profile.
Once you've done a season please can you post a short summary of your progress showing the key things with Screenshots(e.g. Squad Stats, League Table, Youth Intake etc.)
Setting Up
You can run as many leagues in as many nations as you want, but in order for San Marino to be active you need to load at least down to Lega Pro / Seconda Divisione (Add On Required).
After you have selected the Nations that you want to start the game with, press "Next - New Game Overview". From there click on the "Database Size" tab, and then select "Advanced" at the bottom of the sub-menu. It will then allow you to include some options that may assist you within your game.
*Note - You might have to wait until the league add on for the San Marino league and Serie D becomes available for FM17.

Anyone fancying conquering Britain?
For a fifth year running the British Steel challenge returns to Susie only this year there is a slight change with it! The challenge is no longer unbeaten following Gendo's success a few years ago ticking off all thirty six trophies on a long, windy path!

Below is a the challenge leaderboard, once we get people on to the challenge we will add your name and a link to your story should you start one so people can follow it easily. Once you've won a trophy be it league or cup, I will need to see a screenshot for it to count.
Rules:
- Only use British and Irish players
- Must start with Sunday League Reputation
- You may start at a club or start unemployed, your choice
- You MUST send me a screenshot of each trophy won for it to count
Below is the list of playable trophy's within the game when you load all the home nations.(Downloaded competitions and expansions are not allowed)England
Fa Trophy, Vanarama National North/South, Vanarama National, EFL Trophy,Sky Bet League Two, Sky Bet League One,Sky Bet Championship, League Cup, Community Shield, FA Cup, Premiership

Sometimes the sources are not trustworthy, simple as that.
You also have to take into account the wage structure of the club, if unsure should never guess. Check online DB and work out were that player would fit in at the club. If unsure average out the top 5 wage earners of the club. Easiest thing to do.

If that is the case then you have installed it incorrectly.
As he appears in the last build ...
I will reiterate the message.
Delete ALL old Live Update Files.
Copy across all new files inside the zip and the files inside the folder in the zip.
Ensure you are playing with update 16.3 Winter Update version.
Other update files might cause conflict, only additional files recommended is the real name fix file.
Start a new game.
There is no issue with England and Spain not being available to be loaded up. If this is the case you have done something wrong, it is not the updates fault. Follow the instructions in the FAQs or what has been suggested above.
