Millsyrfc1 13 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just started a UK Unemployed challenge.I selected all leagues in: Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales.I set my past-experience as 'Sunday League Footballer' and went on holiday indefinitely, ticked 'apply for all jobs' and to return when offered a job.I got to June 2011 before I was offered a job.Newly-promoted Churchill United in the Northern Irish Second Division. :lol:They don't have any staff; they have barely enough players for a squad; and obviously have no money. Probably the biggest challenge I'll ever have on FM. Going to try and keep them up two seasons in a row and then try and get a job elsewhere - my target being England or Scotland in the lower divisions.I'll post how it goes come the end of the first season.Was inspired by this and started my own ! still waiting for a job and i'm in june 2011 just have to wait for the right job to fit the bill then Got a job with the mighty brantwood ! I have enough players for a first team and 5 subs with no staff in the 2nd division of the northern irish league ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I signed a shit load of players and then wondered if just including the British leagues was a good idea...so I quit it and started again, adding about 4 or 5 other top European nations but it was far too slow.My laptop is fucked just now too so I can't get near any FM games.Sad times, indeed.

ekrfc87 6 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 On fleck being playing him CAM he is unstoppable. However I have started a new game with rangers as I wanted a challenge. Scottish born and bread. All my players and staff are Scottish. Looking to bring in young pups and grow to world beaters. Just started my second season after winning league and cup. Lost in Scottish cup final against hearts but proud of my players. Only down side I bought peter pawlett from aberdeen who has decided to become English!

Any suggestions are welcome.sSeriously look at Jordan Spence as DC his stats arent good but get much better he consistently get 7.5 average for me in the SPL and champs league and is fairly cheap fae west ham. Get Martin Galvan you can pick him up for aout 3 million same as Jordan Spence. Play Galvan as a poacher thank me later. For RB you should try getting a RB from monaco a young guy hes really good cant mind his name. used to be a Real madrid though so check their history Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
