probably as many as u smart arse. point is i have a valid question. England is the most playable and popular in the game just makes sense.


Chill. People do kit packs to whatever they like. You have to wait until some kind soul decides he is going to make them. No dramas needed.

I bent the rules a little and started with FC United of Manchester as it was one of the teams I wanted to try this year anyway. The challenge should remain closely the same though as they just got promoted anyway and I'll follow rest of the rules. It's been a while since I have started a LLM in England. I usually start in Germany, Spain or unemployed.

Just finished my first season yesterday and was 12th, which I am not very happy about. I'm planning to get promoted this season, but let's see if I can find the midfielders and defenders that I need.


Your doing an LLM save there. Difference with the dafuge's challenge is that you take control of a previously unplayable team. So you got to sim a season really.

Anyway, all the best with this save.

Quote: Dafuge - SI Games Forum

The Aim

To take a small club who were previously unplayable in an unedited game from the Vanarama National League North/South to Premier League and Champions League glory.

The Rules

This year allows a bit more freedom in the game setup, you have the option of loading whatever leagues you like at the start and throughout the game. As for the 'advanced option', all of the boxes should be left unticked apart from 'do not add key staff' and 'prevent use of in-game editor'. It should look like this.

Just like previous years, the players for the newly playable clubs need to be added which can be done using the 'advanced' option on the database size. The players from the three feeder league have to be added, which looks like this. You can also add anything else you like to increase the size of the database, for example like this.

The extra levels of detail that you can change while in the game are up to you, as they shouldn't make a difference.

Add yourself as an unemployed manager, the details are not important at all. I like to call mine 'Holiday Man'.

Go on holiday until 24th June. This is the day that the new clubs appear, so saving on 23rd June gives you a chance to reload in the hope of getting a particular club.

Retire your 'Holiday Man' manager and allow him to ride off into the sunset.

Add a new manager, the personal details are completely up to you but I would expect people to use their own true nationalities and languages spoken. Coaching badges must be set to 'None', with past playing experience set as 'Sunday League Footballer'. The coaching attributes are completely up to you.

When adding a new manager, choose one of the new clubs promoted to the Vanarama North or South to manage. A quick way to check the new teams is to find the 'England Overview' team, then the 'season summary'. Just above the FA Cup summary you should find a list of six new teams.

They should appear in this list which shows the reputation of the possible clubs. The reputation should act as a difficulty level. The lower the reputation, the harder your game should be.

It is now up to you to manage this club all the way to the Premier League title and UEFA Champions League crown. The challenge is complete once you have won both competitions, this does not need to happen in the same season.

You may not move clubs unless you are sacked.

If you get sacked, you can either take over a newly promoted club that satisfies the original criteria (check the club's league history), or just start again.

Any form of international management is not allowed, until you have completed the challenge.

Assigning parent clubs and loaning players is completely up to the player, although it should be noted that on occasions a parent club can lend players which will make the first season or two slightly less of a challenge. It is completely up to you how you play this one. Personally, I like to assign a parent club for financial benefits but never take any players on loan from them.

To sign a player, you must be able to scout them, this doesn't mean you have to, just he must be accessible to your scouts. If you have a foreign player on a free transfer who is willing to come on trial, you do not need to be able to scout them, as long as you have them at the club on trial so you can get a coach report on him. If an agent offers you a player, you can sign him without scouting him.

No external utilities such as scouting programs should be used and the database should be unedited (with the exception of cosmetic changes which cannot be discussed here). Should SI release a data update, this would be allowed but any other data updates are not.

Use of save game editors is strictly banned, whatever the reason. Ticking that box at the start should see to this.


Rules for this Thread

Player naming is allowed.

General discussion on tactics is allowed, although people should not refer to downloaded tactics. They are not banned, but I would expect the majority of people to avoid them.

When you join the challenge, post a screenshot of your manager's profile on the 24th June like this.

Progress of your club should be documented using this thread, we want to hear the story of your club all the way through. Please keep us updated, even if you are doing really badly.

At the end of every season, could everyone post some kind of season review, including at least a screenshot of a league table and the clubs transfer page. If you give this a title in bold it makes it a bit easier to pick out.


How to Post a Screenshot
  • While in FM, press Alt and F9
  • A picture will be saved to a screenshots folder, in the FM16 folder in your documents
  • Upload the image to an image hosting website such as Imgur
  • Post the direct Url to the image here.
How to Add Links

At the top of the forum, go to 'Settings' then 'General Settings' (on the left). At the bottom, select 'enhanced interface' and save the changes. This will give you access to the extra posting tools that make it easier to post links. Once you've done this, highlight the word you wish to turn into a link, then use the link button (looks like a little globe) to paste in the direct Url to your screenshot.

Enjoy

Some would argue this is an incredibly straight forward challenge. Your aim is to simply unlock the six national hero achievements on Steam, to do this you must guide a team from the bottom division of Brazil, England, France, Italy, Scotland and Spain, all the way to the top tier. In theory looking out to be the hero at the end of the night ...

You can use any reputation you like (although real heroes use Sunday League of course!) and begin with any club in the bottom division of these countries, if you want to make things even more challenging you could adopt a nationalist approach and only sign players from the country you are currently working in.

Good luck and remember the lads at Foo Fighter are looking for that hero! Will it be you?

P.S - As the French CFA isn't playable from the start you have two options, either leave it as the game will still give you the achievement for taking a club from the National division to Ligue1, or if you are a masochist you can enable play in the CFA by being relegated into it, as a short-cut you could holiday to the final day of season and take control of a side about to be relegated from the National which will allow you to go down without being sacked as the board won't judge you on that seasons performance.
#294338 The Sammarinese Challenge
Cymro

http://i55.tinypic.com/2me6aoh.gif


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

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bb/San_Marino_Calcio_logo.png


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.

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 FM16.

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

Any country really and any division, lower the league the tougher the challenge.

The Rules - Playing

1) Load as many leagues as you like.
2) Database size is optional from Small, Medium and Large. No custom. Large is recommended.
3) You are not allowed an Edited database of any kind. Default database only.
4) Advanced Options (Optional Ticks):
Use Real Players
Use Real Fixtures When Available
Add Key Staff
Add Players To Playable Teams
Allow First Window Transfer Budgets
Enable Attribute Masking


Step By Step Guide

1) Create a Holiday Manager you will not be using this manager to manage a club.
2) Holiday to the 25th of December that year.
3) Retire your Holiday Manager.
4) Add a new manager, Sunday League reputation is a must and no coaching experience. However if you don't fancy it then make it a challenge and go one or two above the bottom level.
5) Take over the team at the bottom of the league.
6) Manage them to the end of the season.
7) Celebrate or commiserate your success or failure.
8) Retire your manager and do it all over again (same save)

Other Rules

1) You are not allowed to move club at any point (apart from when taking over on the 25th December)
2) If you are sacked before the end of the season then move onto to the next season.
3) Transfers, Staff, Training etc all optional.


Posting Rules

1) Discussion of any sort is welcome

The British Steel Challenge 2016...
Anyone fancying conquering Britain?

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/DlWgeSKhcm11PvyfTCFqAKnXC3YMxGFUz07eiM9O.png


For a fourth 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! But can you be the one to challenge him and put your name down on the all times great list to have ever conquered Britain?

So what is the challenge: You have to win every trophy from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland in any order you want. However you must only use British and Irish players!

The challenge is made a little easier by counting promotion from finishing second in the league, or via the playoffs as the title but this is your choice. Any success in Europe or with the national teams are just an added note on your history but won't count towards this challenge.

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, Johnson's Paint Trophy,Sky Bet League Two, Sky Bet League One,Sky Bet Championship, League Cup, Community Shield, FA Cup, Premiership

Scotland
Challenge Cup, League Two, League One, Championship, League Cup, Scottish Cup, Premiership

Ireland
Munster Senior Cup, Division 1, League Cup, Senior Challenge Cup, Premiership

Northern Ireland
Mid-Ulster Cup, Steel & Son's Cup, Interim Cup, County Antrim Shield, Division Two, First division, League Cup, FA Cup, Setanta Cup, Premiership

Wales
League Cup, FAW Cup, Premiership

All the best to all the challengers....

The Pentagon
http://i41.tinypic.com/16i4o5.png


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!

Hi,

guys you have major error in CZECH 1st division. Slovan Varnsdorf has NOT been promoted. Although they had won the 2nd division they didn't meet the minimum requirements (stadium) for the 1st division and promotion has been offered to the next eligible team in 2nd division table which was Fastav Zlín. BTW they're doing tremendously as they are currently sitting on 3rd place! Please fix this unfortunate error. Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

Didn't really think it was a major issue, surely not the end of the world, sorry if you felt it was.

Anyway should be corrected now, as of the 9pm update.

South Africa League -

South African Premier Division (16 teams) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Premier_Division
National First Division (16 teams) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_First_Division

AmaZulu F.C. (ID 130772)
Moroka Swallows F.C. (ID - 130767)

Both should in First Division, not Premier tho...can you check them please

thank you


Sorted, but more detail is needed in the future, like who should replace them.

Quick tip for anyone asking for changes, could you please state which teams need changing from both leagues, not just a couple of them.

I'll use the English Premier as an example.

Swap Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City with QPR, Burnley and Hull City.

This makes it hugely easier for the changes to be added! Thank you.


Just to reiterate this.

Don't think it as 'banging' is as simple as that to be honest. As it has been eluded to above. Their is a cost, and likelihood is that there's leagues may well have been approached by SI but simply want to much money. Look I would love more leagues in the game, especially if they were licensed too. Until someone budges then I highly doubt any other leagues will be included.
