Baroka will be probably be tricky, but certainly the four fixtures after, which come before the big derby, are 100% must wins!

Feels like its coming, its now or never with our next few fixtures. Squeaky bum time, as Sir Alex would say!
I've been pleased with the performances, players doing well but just might not have the quality needed. Big games coming!
Blame Guangzhou Evergrande!
It doesn't, but I'm optimistic after that last performance against a team we had to beat. More performances like that are needed over the next few months.

Indeed, hopefully it can continue. Thanks!

All this means absolutely nothing if we don't continue into the next few months, where we have some massive fixtures: Cerrito (A), Villa Española (H), Oriental (A), Deportivo Maldonado (H). Villa Española aside, they are all of the clubs surrounding us in the standings. Make-or-break few months!

That's a shame, but as long as you can do it for future updates then it'll be cool.

I don't think so, the spoiler image worked but the image quality is low. I upload them to Imgur, pretty sure my account on there is private so (I think) all you need to do is upload them and keep them uploaded, then link them.

Genuinely the first time I think I've seen it, perhaps SI have made it more likely this year? Hopefully.

Indeed! Thanks. If you can, do it - can never have too many Journeymans!
Thanks and let's hope so! It makes it seem more complicated that it actually is, the same thing is needed like in any other league - points!

I'd recommend uploading them to Imgur and using the 'picture' (see screenshot) icon to put them up on here.

We hit back from the scheduling and Wits loss by putting four unanswered goals past Chippa Utd. Consecutive 0-2 away wins have since occurred over Maritzburg United and Polokwane City, Thamsanqa Gabuza scored in both encounters that were his only two appearances so far this season - impressive.

#451069 [FM19] Journeyman's Journey II
r96
Back with my usual Journeyman career, the type of save I absolutely love doing - so much variety and unpredictability to it. I started in Asia on my FM17 career, this time on FM19 I'll be beginning my (hopefully long) journey in North/South America.
Let's just get straight into it.
I've added all the default North and South American leagues, which can be seen below. My initial aim was to start somewhere in South America, preferably in a lower division. You can see the screenshot for the leagues loaded/save set-up below, along with my manager's profile and the managerial style; which is the lowest possible.
The job search was the exact opposite of action packed, but it did go on for a long while. I started the save on 1 January 2018 but, despite constantly applying, I didn't get a job interview until 5 May 2018. That came from Uruguay's Sud América, of the Segunda División. I was happy, exactly the sort of level I wanted to begin with. A job offer followed.
Which, after months of waiting, I was never going to turn down!
I'm the new manager of Sud América! No prizes for guessing which continent they're from. I join the second tier team midway through the 2018 Uruguayan Segunda División season, with the club sat 12th (third bottom) after thirteen fixtures; exactly thirteen games left to play. Relegation is our main threat, which is decided by an average points table in our league. In that, things look bleaker, Sud América are bottom of the table. So points are of the essence. We play three of the top four in my first four fixtures, talk about a baptism of fire!
Below you can see our current situation, along with the squad list.
I have no idea how this is going to go, at Sud América or in the save overall. That's all part of the fun, I haven't got any aims whatsoever - what will be, will be (we're not going to Wembley).
Thanks for reading, I appreciate it!

Same here, I've only managed small teams from South Africa - Santos FC are the ones that stick in my memory, got them promoted from the second tier - was an enjoyable spell. As for my Journeyman, I'm thinking either Europe or North & South America. I'll probably go for the latter, particularly South America seems fun to manage in.

After a friendly win over Maritzburg City, we met Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the cool Be The Coach. For those who don't know, it's an interactive competition in South African football played yearly by Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, with supporters (via a sponsor) picking the matchday squads and in-game substitutions; hence the name. In Football Manager, it's the same except for the line-up/substitutions - the fans picked my matchday squad. So fortunately I can blame the defeat to the Chiefs on them!
It didn't faze us though, as we followed it with four straights wins; firstly in a friendly with Mozambique's Ferroviário Maputo. The Top 8 Cup got underway on 15 August, it's a tournament where the top eight placed teams from the previous Premier Soccer League season take part to see who is best. We were drawn in the quarter-finals with Free State Stars, subsequently easing past them 3-0. The semi-final first leg followed days later against Maritzburg United, where we scored another three goals (having gone a goal down, though) to secure a comfortable if not tie-securing 3-1 win for the second leg. August ended with our PSL opener, we played and beat AmaZulu.
Pleasing times, but we must keep it up. So, Be the Coach, Top 8 Cup and the PSL have all begun but the Knockout Cup and FA Cup are still yet to get underway, as is our CAF Champions League campaign; which we have to wait until late 2018/early 2019 for (due to its scheduling).
As you'll see in the screenshot, the club made a load of signings but only the last two were made by me. I signed a CAM and a FW, both players I know about (not deeply, but enough) from real life: Tshegofatso Mabaso, Bloemfontein Celtic (CAM, South Africa, £60k) & Talent Chawapiwa, Baroka (FW, Zimbabwe, £32.5k). I was going to scout them first, but decided to trust my gut feeling and sign them before the scout reports arrived. So far, so good. I've been impressed with them, both have a goal to their name already.
