2020/21 January Transfer Window In a devastating turn of events, Millen Baars, the joint-2nd highest appearances holder in Nine Elms history, has left the club. Baars appeared in 89 league matches over the last 2 and a half years, contributing greatly t...

Based on my career "Operation Nine Elms," The Ambassador Challenge really has limitless options for potential saves. The idea is to choose an embassy in any country to act as an outpost to produce foreign talent within their league system.

Haha yeah man I think he definitely has the skills to play the role I wanted but for some reason his attitude just isn't right in this save, maybe he's better off in America!

2020/21 Mid-Season Review Results Following a strong run of 3 wins in our first 3 matches in League One, we struggled to maintain any kind of decent form and picked up just 2 wins from 19 matches between August 26th and November 21st. It was an EXTREMEL...

That's good to hear! McInerney has struggled so far but he's just returned from injury so once he gets back to full fitness I think he'll be my starter. If he can score for fun in the MLS hopefully he can manage to in League One!

2020/21 Season Preview We're expected to struggle this season, with the press setting our title odds at 500-1 ahead of the 2020/21 League One season. Place your bets now! This leaves us third from the bottom in the Season Preview, but I'm actu...

Nine Elms Class of '24 In our second intake of Nine Elms youth players, we signed 8 of the youth candidates with 2 in particular standing out from the rest. Knowles has the highest potential of all the youth candidates that were evaluated, and cu...

Yes I think so, Robles joined 3 days after Donovan when he turned 18. Hopefully I can find some more hidden gems!

2019/20 Mid-Season Review Results The early fixtures were kind to us, as our first games in the Football League were against the clubs predicted to be in the relegation battle. We managed to scrape a few wins together against Morecambe, Leyton Orient,...

2019/20 Season Preview The press set our odds at 150-1 to win the title this season, which puts us in the bottom half of the table with a predicted finish of 18th. We overachieved last season, who's to say we can't do it again? Keep in my I ha...

Lol yeah I'm gonna keep documenting the end of his career to see if he can ever claim his real name again, but I doubt it. Maybe he should follow in Parker's footsteps and go to uni in America!XD

Lol they actually sacked Strootman when you declared your interest?? Was his job security already insecure or did you just kick him outta there? Either way good job man and nice job on securing promotion, I've just done the same!

2018/19 Season Review We did it! In our debut season we've managed to gain automatic promotion into the Football League by winning the Vanarama National League title. We were leading the table for the majority of the season and I'm delighted t...

Nine Elms Class of '23 March 1st marked a huge day in the history of Nine Elms, as the first generation of youth candidates in the club's history signed 2 year contracts. At just 14 years old, our youth candidates are 2 years younger than the...

All the Best to Leon Worst In the latest installment of the Leon Best/Worst saga, he's leaving! After just 5 unsuccessful months at Nine Elms United F.C., I decided to transfer list the experienced Irishman who was originally meant to lead our atta...

Xavi sacked by Newcastle We're only 6-ish months into this save and it's already getting weird. Barcelona legend Xavi has been sacked by Newcastle United. I must've missed the story that mentioned Newcastle hiring him because this was all...

More Americans! Kyle Scott In what my be my best signing yet, former Chelsea youth midfielder Kyle Scott has just joined the club halfway through the season on a free, and he's American! While we already had significant depth in CM, when I found Sc...

Mid-Season Review Results Following our initial 1-0 win away at Barrow A.F.C., we won another 3 matches in a row before going on a 3 match losing streak in which we failed to score a single goal. However, we bounced back with a 3-1 win against relegatio...

Wow I'm impressed, I'm not sure if I've ever broken the 2040 barrier in any of my saves. Keep up the good work! I'm American but the MLS has never really gripped me. I managed the New York Red Bulls briefly in my Hexagon challenge (sti...

Thanks man I'm thinking about pivoting my YouTube channel towards Football Manager for FM 2020 so keep an eye out on here!

The First Game Nine Elms United F.C.'s first official game as a professional soccer team was a dominant away win against Barrow A.F.C. We only managed to win 1-0, but we had 57% of the possession and were relentless in offensive pressure with 21 sh...

For "Nation" you'll want to put England so they can compete in English competitions. Then for "Based Nation" you will put Ireland or whatever country you want your club to be based in. This won't affect your academy though...

Season Preview We're predicted to be in the playoff discussion in our debut season in the Vanarama National League. The title odds are very tight all the way down to mid-table, so the early season predictions are often inaccurate at this level. Hav...

August Monthly Review Results I was originally planning to update this once I got to January but having thought about it more getting sacked is a very realistic possibility so I decided to do monthly updates instead. The first month went reasonably well...

The First Game It was an eventful first game at St. James' Park, securing a 2-1 win over Leicester after Harry Maguire was sent off in the first half. Dwight Gayle was the hero with an 89' winner after an assist by Sean Longstaff. There was, h...

Transfers In I managed to sign all of my major transfer targets for a total of £45.05m. Overall I think I made some decent business and strengthened all the major weak areas in the squad. I opted for Daniel Sturridge over Balotelli and Rondon, but...

Finances Following the sale of Ayoze Perez for £30m, and Mike Ashley's 10% (literally), the starting budget is £27m. The wage budget is set at £1.35m per week so there's some room for new players there. Players to Watch Mi...
