Downloaded FM17 a few days ago and got stuck straight into a challenge that I fancied having a go at last year. I will take over a side from the home of Jesus Christ himself and build them into a dominant world force (well, I will attempt to).

This is the first FM save that I have ever attempted to post online and so I anticipate a few teething problems on the technical side of things. My first one has already presented itself as I can not for the life of me seem to be able to select the league and club that I am managing in the drop down menus on the "Edit Career" section. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated. Screenshots will almost certainly be another one as I have found that to be a challenge on forums elsewhere. Bear with me essentially! On a positive note I tend to rattle through seasons, especially during the school holidays, as there is nothing I enjoy more than sitting down in front of the football or the cricket and manage away on my laptop! I hope to get quite a way into the future on this save. My journey way well veer off course on the way, however.

Don't know if this is the place to put it or if it has already been flagged (new to this forum!) but I am currently managing in the Colombian First Division which is split into two separate phases. I don't know if it is an error or not but if you win the First Phase then it says "1 Colombian First Phase" in the hall of fame whereas if you win the Second Phase it says "1 Colombian First Division" which just seems a little odd as there is no overall winner as the two phase winners don't play each other in a Grand Final.

Also, the finals of both phases and the Colombian Cup are over two legs, it is a little annoying when the press ask you before the first leg about being "1 win away from the title" when you have two matches to play as well as having the option in team talks to "bring home the title with a victory" before the first leg match or "with that performance you have sealed the title" after winning in the first leg.

One more thing, away goals don't count for double in the event of a tie in both the Colombian Cup and the playoffs after both the First and Second Phase of the league but the press ask you questions about the importance of conceding or not scoring an away goal. Have found that in a couple of other countries as well, not a big deal just a little annoying (and confusing the first time around!)
