#360052 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
After winning our first 13 games of the season, we're closing in on the club record of 17 games unbeaten. If we can win the first four matches, we really will become one of the greatest Newcastle squads ever!
Unfortunately, that dream ends at 15 games. But we have set the record for the most consecutive victories by a Newcastle side and we've put ourselves in with a chance of challenging for the title!
#359832 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
I feel like someone needs to pinch me! It's another stunning episode as we continue to win every match that we play! It's not been all easy, with some hard fought victories against big teams, but we are playing out of our skin!
The victory over Man City is particularly sweet given it came away from home. I genuinely don't know how far we can take this run, but I hope it never ends!
#359737 FUT FM - Opening Packs in Football Manager 2017!
Jenkaldo
This episode was pretty spectacular as we continued our great winning streak into this episode! To cap it all off, we totally and utterly destroy a full strength Manchester United team 8 v 1 in the League!
There was a disappointing defeat to City before that game, but we reacted very well and are on course to make it into the Champions League spots next season. Our pack luck was pretty bad, but higher league places mean better packs!
#359666 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
I don't think I've ever started a Football Manager season as well as this! The team have been absolutely phenomenal by winning every single match in this episode!
We also beat Arsenal and Leicester on the way, which just bangs home exactly how good we are this season. I'm very confident we can push for the Champions League places if we keep this up!
#359549 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!

A bit of a short episode today as we run through pre-season and make some understated but significant trasnfers. Getting Meret on a free transfer is some exceptional business and Witsel will certainly help the team too.
We also play our first European game in the series as we look to make the group stage of the Europa League.
#359381 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
It's the end of our roller-coaster third season and we've made it all the way to the FA Cup Final! In addition to that, we secure 7th in the League and secure ourselves European football next season.
Given how well we improved after our awful start, I'm full of confidence about our chances of the Champions League next season. The key now is holding on to our best players and then strengthening the squad to make the challenge.
#359187 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
Another strong episode from the team as we continue the kind of form that would usually get you into the Champions League. That really poor start to the season continues to haunt us, but we're pushing on regardless.
An amazing victory over Stoke in the FA Cup Semi-final has set us up to qualify for the Europa League next season regardless of our league position, but we have done an amazing job to get this far in the league and cup.
#359083 FUT FM - Opening Packs in Football Manager 2017!
Jenkaldo
Our second 50k pack of the series has delivered us probably our best packed player yet with John Stones coming out! He's an excellent added foundation to the team with Rashford another one for the future of this series.
In terms of the football matches, we start off with a really poor defeat before finally kicking into gear and getting some wins on the board. We're also into the Knock-out stages of the Europa League, so that's something else to look forward to!
#359009 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
Our great run of form has continued, although there's a couple of losses either side of a four match winning streak. The highlight of the episode is easily beating Spurs 4-0 in one of the best performances we've ever had.
We're still in with a chance of qualifying for Europe through the league, but the FA Cup may be a more promising route for us to get there.
#358848 FUT FM - Opening Packs in Football Manager 2017!
Jenkaldo
We open our first 50k pack today but it doesn't seem to have helped us all that much as we struggle through some not so tough games! Having an unbeaten run in the League helps and I can have no complaints at beating Chelsea, so maybe it's for the best in the long run!
If you want me to keep this series going then let me know in the comments as we're getting quite a few less views in this series, but that might be because it's only just beginning. Either way, drop a comment!
#358686 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
An absolutely incredible episode today as we beat some of the best teams in the League while marching up the table. Barring a thoroughly disappointing defeat to Bournemouth, we managed to pick up five victories in six games.
The great form means we have now beaten just about every major team at home this season and shows that we can compete with the best. Had we managed to start this season better then I think we really could have been challenging for the Champions League.

After switching up the player roles in the last episode, we've continued our excellent run today by picking up some more scalps. Annoyingly, we do have a little bit of inconsistency, but until we're in the European places on a regular basis, we have to expect that to happen.
Next episode we can start planning ahead for the second half of the season and take some time thinking about who else we can sign. If you have ideas, let me know in the comments!
#358315 FUT FM - Opening Packs in Football Manager 2017!
Jenkaldo
We have some incredible matches today as this new team and formation seem destined to become the great entertainers. We also pick up four red cards in the process and I have absolutely no idea why!
A couple of excellent wins against Arsenal and Spurs are followed up by two desperately poor defeats against Bournemouth. The only good news is that we are in the top 10 for next episode so we'll be able to start by opening a 50k pack!

My spirits had definitely dropped before and during this episode, but suddenly we changed the tactic and strung together three victories in six games to climb back up to mid-table!
The switch to our old 2016 tactic seems to have done the trick and we even managed to crush Manchester City 3-0, restricting them to not managing a single shot on target. Things are definitely looking up now!
#357768 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
After the optimism from some good transfers in the last episode, it feels an awful lot like it might have been unfounded. Some very disappointing results in this episode as we fail to beat the teams that we should be beating comfortably.
I feel like we might have to make some changes to our tactic if this continues as we've never looked that convincing throughout this save. If you have suggestions for how we can fix things, let me know!
#357606 FUT FM - Opening Packs in Football Manager 2017!
Jenkaldo
Today we open our second pack as we look to fill some of the areas where we're a little weaker. We pick up a couple of good additions around the center of midfield and then go on one heck of a run of matches!
We are scoring goals like nobody's business, but we're also leakier than the titanic! I'm going to keep this formation for the sheer entertainment value, but let me know if there are any suggestions you have for the rest of this series!
#357371 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!

The board gave us a huge amount of money for our third season after finishing so far clear of relegation last time out and we have definitely spent well! We have a slight problem in that the players that we want at the club don't want to come to us until we have European Football, so we're left taking the best of the rest.
We also play our first game of the season, although that doesn't quite go to plan. That is the theme of this save so far though and we need to figure out how to get things right as soon as possible!
#357216 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
We've reached the end of Season Two with Newcastle and amazingly we still have a job! Having come so close to the sack in our first season, we're actually in really good shape heading into season three.
It wasn't the greatest last few matches, but we didn't have an awful lot left to play for so I can't blame the players. Luckily the board have given us a huge transfer budget for next season so we can make some quality additions to the team!

#357147 FUT FM - Opening Packs in Football Manager 2017!
Jenkaldo
Welcome to a brand new series of Football Manager 2017! This is something a little different that I wanted to try, and it involves bringing FIFA Ultimate Team Packs into Football Manager. Now I'd never do anything as blasphemous as actually play FIFA on here, but we are going to use FIFA packs to build our squad.
As a base, we're using the London Stadium and West Ham United. We've completely gutted the squad and we're going to use the in-game editor to bring the players we get in packs. We're capped at a maximum of 30 first-team players and we're allowed to buy and sell as we wish.
The game will run as a normal FM save - but - we will open one new pack at the start of each episode. The pack we open depends on where we are in the League:
Bottom Half: 25k
Top Half: 50k
Champions League Places: 100k
Each episode will run for roughly six matches to give an even spread of packs and players in a season.
This series will evolve over time, so if you have ideas and suggestions, post them below!
#357006 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
We're into the business end of the season now and we're fighting with the best to get into the top half of the table. We have some amazing results, particularly against Chelsea and a high-flying Southampton.
Unfortunately, it was surrounded by disappointing results against teams that we really should be beating. The defeat to West Ham particularly hurt, but we're certainly on an upturn in form at just the right time.
#356803 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
have to take on Man City three times and Arsenal once. Episodes have definitely been easier.
We're out of the FA Cup now so it's all about the league and we have about two episodes left in Season 2. Hopefully we can push on and climb into the top half and get a big transfer budget for next season.
#356513 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!

Another great transfer window for the club as we get stronger and stronger! Picking up Batshuayi for just £7.5m was incredible and now that Janssen is hitting form again we have a real chance of making progress.
Losing Dawson late in the window was a bit of a blow but I feel like we're strong enough to make it to the end of the year. Next summer will be a great chance to make a couple of big signings and really take the next step as a club.
#356268 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!

Yet another frustrating episode as we see the highs of beating Manchester United get followed up with three defeats. We are playing some big teams at the moment and still managing to get results so I'm not too dispirited, but we need to step up our game as losing to Norwich is unacceptable.
It's the January transfer window in the next episode and I am looking to get some serious business done if I can. The squad needs re-balancing and we need to get a top quality striker in.
#355862 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!

Our poor patch of form extends into this episode with a couple more defeats until we do eventually secure two victories in a row. We also manage to beat top of the table Southampton as our stunning home form continues.
We are continuing to struggle badly away from home and it is starting to become an issue. If you have ideas for a new tactic or things that I can do in the January transfer window then let me know. I don't think we're likely to be sacked this season, but if our home form dips then you never know!
#355630 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
Another good run of games, although there were a few defeats in this episode. It looks like we're beginning to struggle against teams away from home and we might need to think up a new tactic to stop the rot.
Our current tactic is doing wonders at home though and we manage to demolish Arsenal 3-0 in our best performance of the series so far!
#355514 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
It looks like the strong transfer signings have helped us get off to a pretty great start after that disappointing defeat to Liverpool in our opening game!
Some very good wins in the League mean we're already in and around mid-table and the threat of relegation is not top of our minds. I think we should be able to push on and hit that 40 point mark well before the end of the season.

Thanks Shedender! I used to lurk these forums a while ago so I thought I better come back to contribute for a change!
Newcastle is actually somewhat harder than I thought it would be, mainly because the squad is a little... ambitious. Still, we aim for the top!
#355319 FM17 - Newcastle United - We are a big club!
Jenkaldo
After saying that I might only sign one striker in the transfer window, I maybe went a little overboard... A lot of new, but incredible signings have come in. I am very excited to get started with this team and I think the squad if excellently balanced.
We also managed to raise quite a few funds and have some money left, but annoyingly the wage budget has been capped and won't budge. We also play our first Premier League match against Liverpool, so have a watch to see how we do.
