Thank you! Well, the first sacking is already in the past, now let us concentrate on Rocha.
I have been away from the story for several days, hope you understand me.
Rocha F.C. – October 2016
So, let us continue. We have had some work (if it may be called so) during the pre-season, even if we had two serious matches, our rivals didn’t see them so. So after it we went into the season and we weren’t so brilliant there, however, it was much better then in Chile.
Competitions
Not an ideal start, as I said before, but yet something. Now let us believe that we will convert this into a good go and, maybe, we will reach something even this season. If you are not familiar with the league system, it is like this: the two first teams get direct promotion, while the ones from 3rd to 6th place play a play-off for the third promotion. The last team in accumulated table gets relegated.
Here goes the table:
Players
First of all, let us see our summer transfers:
The club contracted four good players, the four for rotation. However, we were left by Matías Malán – a good first-team player – and it brought some unhappiness to the team. Also we managed to say goodbye to several players I didn’t see in the first team. So, I definitely believe that it was successful.
This is our squad – statistics are provided as for 23/10.
Here we go, thus.

Thank you, you will motivate me to go on even more.
After having been sacked in Chile, I found myself unemployed once more. After having been looking for an employee I found the Uruguayan football season ending, so I tried to apply there. Actually, that was a good idea. So, that was how I got my current job – manager at Rocha F.C.
Rocha F.C. – July 2016
What can we say about Rocha F.C.? Well, they were founded in the 1990s as an attempt to federalise the Uruguayan football. There were a lot of different clubs in the Rocha Department, and they decided to unite and form one single to compete at the national level. That was how Rocha F.C. were founded. Since then, the club have been playing in Primera and Segunda.
Competitions
Rocha F.C. currently play the Campeonato Uruguayo Segunda División. Last year they were 13th, so the expectations are not to struggle for permanence.
Here is a part of our schedule. It is incomplete; we will have some more matches after the season break, in February and further.
Players
Our squad is quite big, we have enough player for rotation and, to sum up, I am quite happy with this squad as I can think of some tactics suiting it.

Deportes Temuco – April 2016
Competitions
Actually, this looks like the worst stage at a club I have ever had: out of 7 matches I had 2 draws and 5 losses. Really bad. Obviously, the board wasn’t very happy with me and offered me to resign, which I accepted. There was nothing else to do in Temuco – I had lost everything I could. Only for some mysterious reason the club weren’t relegated: after finishing 16th in the Clausura, they managed to get the goal difference one goal above Barnechea in the Overall Table.
Here is the competition overview:
And here the surprising Overall Table:
So now I am looking forward to finding a new club to work with, let us see if it ends well or also like this.

And after not a very long time, in February I have been offered contracts from two clubs: Crawley Town from the League Two and Deportes Temuco from the Chilean Primera B. After having had quite a dilemma, I opted for the Chilean club as it was more interesting personally for me. So the Chilean Championship will be seen here now.
Deportes Temuco – March 2016
Deportes Temuco is a professional football club from the city of Temuco in Southern Chile. The city itself is a very interesting place, it is the centre of the indigenous Mapuche culture and it undoubtedly is worth visiting.
The club play at the Bicentenario Germán Becker Stadium in Temuco. It was built in 1965, after the World Cup held in the country, and its capacity is of 18.500 people. Deportes Temuco are the only club to play at the stadium. The club have once played in the highest Chileans divisions, but then they suffered a big crisis and recovered from it only in May 2013. Since then they have been playing in Primera B, being always one of the candidates for promotion.
Competitions
Deportes Temuco is at the moment 10th in the Clausura Table of the Primera B and 10th as well in the Global Table. It is safe from being relegated, but very far from the expected promotion.The club’s main rivals are Iberia Los Ángeles, Deportes Concepción and Deportes Puerto Montt, being all of them the closest geographically clubs to Temuco. However, only the last two can be analysed as real rivalries (Iberia the most) because Deportes Concepción has a more real clásico in their home city and Deportes Puerto Montt has a traditional clásico against Provincial Osorno, even though they only play amateur competitions this year. There is a derby admitted by FM, but the rival – Unión Temuco – is extinct.
Here go some recently played matches and the schedule for the rest of the year – we only have 7 more matches, unless we classify to the playoffs.
Players
The squad of the main team is quite big – there are no reserve competitions in Chile. There are good players, so there must be no difficulties during the first season. Ah, I forgot to mention it: the currency is always the local one – Chilean peso. The exchange rate is approximately £1=$1000.
Let us see where this adventure takes us.

Some technical data.
The game began on the 27th of December of 2015. The originally open leagues are Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, England, Paraguay and Uruguay. This time I didn’t load any league extensions except the ones by claassen, as they are proven to be stable. It will make it a bit more difficult for me to find a job as no lower league amateur clubs will be loaded, however, I hope it will make the career more interesting.
Let us go then.

#304325 [FM 15] Found an error in our database?
Takiq
Sorry for that.
Ed.: By the way, I would like to ask one more question: how can I add a person not yet in the DB? Yesterday in Uruguay, Nacional had a new president: José Luis Rodríguez Espinosa. After having checked the DB for him I found out he wasn’t there (or written incorrectly) so that is why I am asking about it.

I have already tried to pass that date on holiday, without graphics, with cleared caché and with all three together. However, nothing helped me. Could you tell me please what it can be?
Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately, there is a possibility that the cause of this is the update – I suppose, Brazilian, as the others I have are made by claassen and are known as stable. If it is the case, then unfortunately the waltz is over.
Upd.: I managed to read the crash report – and yes, it says that the problem is with the Brazilian update. It is a pity, for the career could be interesting both for you and me, but it won’t. Enough waltzing for this Christmas. Now I am going to relax a bit, and on 26th I will probably try to make it better.
Merry Christmas to everybody and thank tou for following me!

Thank you!
Thank you, mate, it was by the way the career of yours among the ones that inspired me to do this one. And well, as far as we are not even in the Brasileirão D we are very unlikely to have a lot of games.
AD Vasco da Gama – April 2016
Well, I have to say that these two months have been quite good, much more than expected by the fans. We had several good games, such as the ones against Andirá or Galvez, but also some not so good ones, as the ones against Atlético Acreano and Alto Acre. The Río Branco game was exceptional – they lost only two points this season (a 0:0 against Alto Acre) and got only 5 goals against in 14 games. As for now, they are by far the leader.
Here is the league table:
As you can see, we finished 2nd. Definitely not a bad result, as our season expectative was not to be humiliated. Our second place is quite stable as for now, 10 points from Río Branco are extremely difficult as for now. So, we will play the playoff, which already is in the picture with the schedule. Río Branco will face Atlético Acreano, while we will play against Andirá – a rival we overcame twice this season, one with me and one without me.
Actually, I don’t know who will play the Brasileirão D, whether it will be the 1st in the regular phase or the playoff winner. However, we will try to do our best in the playoffs and to make an experiment on this.
And now about the players. The line-up has been unstable through these two months, many players changed places with others and some of them were injured for some time. The ones who impressed me most were Feijão, a very good AM for the club; Cebolinha, our best goalscorer; Buru; Cláudio; Azul; and Panda. However, I believe that nearly everybody did a good job and everybody would deserve to be here.
So now we are looking forward to playing against Andirá and the consequent final, if we pass it. The semifinal will be played in two legs, the final as well. Most likely the next update will be after the playoff.
Let us waltz on, thus!

AD Vasco da Gama – February 2016
And the club which desired (or at least, didn’t mind) having an unexperienced 25-year old Uruguayan as their manager was Vasco. Surely not the one from Río de Janeiro – it would be impossible. I didn’t even manage to get a job anywhere near the country. I am heading to the heart of Amazonia, to Acre. Acre is the westernmost state of Brazil, it borders Bolivia and Perú. Its capital is Río Branco (lit. White River), and it is precisely where I am going to work now.
Vasco (I am going to call it just like this from now on) is a professional club from Río Branco, capital of Acre. Its main team plays in the Campeonato Acriano actually, a tournament they have won three times in their history, being the most recent in 2001. The club’s home stadium is Arena de Floresta, popularly known as Florestão. Here goes a club overview screen:
Now let us look more deeply at the Campeonato Acriano that Vasco is competing in. It is quite small, disputed by only 8 teams, among which properly Vasco is. Teams play each other twice, making it 14 games in total from January to March. Top 4 teams are classified to the Championship playoff, where the champion is defined. The bottom team is relegated to the second state division. There is a possibility of promotion: the best team not in federal competitions yet gets a possibility to play the Brasileirão D in the second part of the season. In Acre no team participates in federal competitions so only the champion gets the possibility.
The board requirement is not to be humiliated in the league, so this start guarantees us at least something. Maybe we will reach the playoff, that would be very nice. However, the championship possibility is quite very little – just look at Río Branco’s performance against us and other league sides, they only have 1 goal against so far.
What about our players: I have no staff other than me and the Mr. President in the club, so I will have to search for an assistant manager. Yet I know that we must have some players more qualified than expected, otherwise we wouldn’t be second at the moment. Especially they are Juan Castro and Mosca who seem the main constructors of our game. It is the players’ names that are quite curious: we have both Pelezinho and Garrinchinha (little Pelé and little Garrincha respectively), Mosca (lit. a fly), Panda, Dude, Hulk and Azul. Here is the squad summary:
Let us see then where this Waltz will bring us.
#303849 El vals de Nochebuena
Takiq
I have spent many hours these days reading some exciting stories about other people playing FM, which motivated me both to create a game of mine right now and to try to write about it here for you. So, thank you all and let us go with it.
¡Qué comience el vals, el vals de Nochebuena!
Here you may listen to it.
Here we go. As practically every year, I start my career unemployed and without any qualifications in the South American lands. The leagues selected as playable from the beginning are Brazil, Chile, England, Paraguay, Perú and Uruguay – however, I am pretty sure they are going to be altered more, much more than once. I am going to try to begin in Uruguay and to see how long I will last (Hope to spend at least some years in the Oriental land at the beginning).
I don’t set any specific goals to myself, except having pleasure from the game. I will instead make before every season in a club a brief summary of what I would like to acheive. Perhaps, I will get a post in Luton Town or Montevideo Wanderers and try to lead them to something big – that would be pleasant for me. However, despite having been playing FM for about 6 years (this is my 7th one) I have never won anything serious – except one Spanish Segunda and two New Zealand leagues – so I would also like to bring an end to this.
Here we go, then, in the middle of Uruguayan summer (it is said that the weather will be nice this Friday).
