    FM19 YouTube Journeyman Save - Started with no reputation, experience, coaching badges or club, and am working my way up to the top!

    Posted: 25 Jan 2019 05:48 AM PST

    Hi!

    Since the release of FM19, I have been doing a "Starting from the bottom" Journeyman on Youtube, where we began with no club, no reputation, no coaching badges, and no footballing experience, essentially the very lowest that you can begin. From there we try to work our way up to the big time.

    Videos go up every day at 5:30pm, with 2 games in each. I show every league game, preferring a slower, more personal journey as opposed to blitzing through season after season.

    If you are interested in giving a look from the beginning, a link is here. Any feedback would be hugely appreciated

    If you want to start from a more recent episode, but want to be caught up with what has happened so far, read on, although there will be spoilers.

    We started our career at Berwick in the Scottish Fourth Tier, managing to find a job relatively quickly. The results, its fair to say, were underwhelming, and we struggled to get anything to click. 15 games in and with only one win to our name, we were sacked, and its safe to say our managerial career had gotten off to a poor start.

    With things looking grim, we took a job at Swedish 4th Tier outfit Torslanda IK, which had the expectations of finishing 9th, just outside of the relegation zone. Expectations were blown out of the water, and midway through the season we found ourselves battling for the top spot, with star striker Anton Salihu scoring for fun, and when the mid season transfer window rolled around, we added the leagues top goalscorer Marcus Kettler to our lineup, and the 2 formed a wonderful partnership finshing on 24 goals each in a 26 game season, and took us all the way to the top of the table, clinching the title on the final day of the season in an incredibly close fashion.

    This earned us promotion to the Swedish third tier, and once again we performed excellently. Despite struggling to have a consistant goalscorer throughout the season, and the expectation to have a relegation battle, a strong squad performance saw us battling towards the top half of the table, occasionally vying for playoff spots, and ultimately finishing 6th, massively overperforming once more.

    At this point I had grown very fond of Torslanda, and so had the fans, after watching both us and a manager, and the team, defy all odds and achieve success, which is why the decision to leave was a very difficult one to make. 2 major issues caused this decision to be made. Firstly, the club lacked the funding to let us study for our next coaching badge, and secondly, although the club had came a long way, its reputation had not followed, and finding players who could elevate us to the next level was borderline impossible.

    With this in mind, we left Sweden, and took a job at Osasuna B, who were struggling in the 3rd tier of spain. Despite some wonderful performances and some titanic wins, we were unable to cement our place in the league, and following confirmation of the clubs relegation, we were released from our role as manager. Leaving Torslanda was beginning to look like a mistake.

    Finding a new job proved extremely difficult, with every opportunity either being too much of a step down, or too much of a step up to actually secure the role. This was until we found Finnish 2nd tier side Jaro FF, who were tipped to finish in the playoff places, however found themselves 6th in a 10 team league. With the promise to guide the board to a top half finish, we landed the job during a transfer window. A thin squad and poor scouting setup led to me tapping into my previous knowledge, and bringing in some of our old Torslanda players to help us in the battle, which resulted in a successful top half finish, allowing us to remain manager.

    During our second season with Jaro, we regularly found ourselves in the upper spots in the league, and regularly in the top spot! Come the end of the season, we found ourselves top of the table, and secured the title with 3 games remaining, dominating the competition, and winning promotion to the top tier of Finnish football, the Finnish Premier League, resulting in our first opportunity at managing in a top division.

    Despite an extremely promising pre season and some good players joining the side, its fair to say The Finnish Premier League proved to be quite a step up. We spent most of the season struggling to pick up anything, highlighted by a 13 game streak between our first and second victories. A late transfer window before the final third of the season gave us a good opportunity to turn things around, and, thanks to a system change to incorporate wingers, Including Sherwin Seedorf, a distant relative of Clarence, we were able to string together enough results to finish 11th, one place off of the bottom, and end up in the relegation playoffs

    This is the biggest set of games of our managerial career so far, and it's fair to say that the stress levels were running extremely high. A defeat could result in a relegation, a sacking, and a huge hit to our reputation, knocking us back years in terms of our progress. So much riding on a 2 legged relegation playoff tie.

    The game could not have been closer. The first leg was a relatively standard affair, with us coming out ahead 2-1. Things were looking good as we headed towards our home fixture. Things got off to a sensational start, and within 40 minutes we were 4-0 up. Then, disaster. Just before half time, defensive midfielder Alex Mcdonald picked up a red card, leaving us with 10 men. They quickly bagged a goal thanks to a catastrophic error from our young goalkeeper, and the bad luck continued as we miss a penalty, our main penalty taker having been substituted to allow for another defensive midfielder following the red card. They manage to secure not one, not two, but three more goals in quick succession, and the aggregate score now saw us leading 6-5. Seconds remain in the game, and they find a break. Sprinting at our keeper and leaving defenders in the dust, the opposition striker hits the ball... and it flies wide, seeing us pick up a win in the most dramatic of circumstances

    We had done it. We had stayed up. Despite throwing away a 4-0 lead to tie the second leg 4-4, we went through on a 6-5 aggregate and remained in the Finnish Premier League to fight for another season

    A few changes were made to the squad, and after the worlds longest pre season, we got underway, getting off to a much better start and sitting around the mid table positions, desptie the fact that our strikers were struggling to score, we were boasting one of the best defensive records in the league, a huge turnaround from last season, and therefore we found some success.

    This was the general tone for most of the season so far. A very solid defence, but no clear goalscorer, although Sherwin Seedorf has started to come into it lately, we are still lacking much end product at all from our strikers.

    This caused a late transfer to be made in the mid season window. The options weren't great, but I felt that if we couldn't get a consistant goalscorer, I wanted a target man who could facilitate our wingers and provide some good hold up play, and provide a bit of a plan B in games where we lacked physicality.

    The episode below sees this new striker make his debut for us, and I am hoping he can have a big impact on the pitch! This is also going to see the beginning end of the season run in, which concludes this weekend, where we have to decide whether to remain at Jaro, where we have achieved so much, or whether to move on to new horizons after 3.5 years at the club!

    Like I said, any feedback would be very much appreciated!

    Thanks

    A different sort of moneyball

    Posted: 25 Jan 2019 11:22 AM PST

    So, this is a short little snippet of my approach to moneyball. A lot of moneyball managers seem to not sign any older players, and while that seems viable at first, the way I have utilized them seems to work a little bit better for me.

    I do sign older players, in fact, a lot of them make up my team. I also, however, sign a lot of youth players.

    The idea is that if you loose a promising youngster to PSG it won't destabilize the team. For the most part, the older gents make up the majority of the squad, with most of the kids in the reserves or out on loan. This is an approach that most clubs take nowadays, with the difference being the size of the roster. I likely have over 100 players including reserves and those out on loan. The wage bill is high, but we have been making tons of money selling youngsters for large amounts of money. I think my record lately was an Bolivian striker (one of the few who actually got into the first team under 23) for 107 million pounds. Not to shabby, especially for Sheffield Wendsday.

    I hate this game

    Posted: 25 Jan 2019 01:50 AM PST

    I'm a noob and my saves are taking forever, pls help?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2019 04:58 PM PST

    Hey,

    Playing FM for the first time, started a career with a big rich easy club ( Man United ) and I choose England, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain as playable leagues. And then view-only everywhere else.

    My database is 357,000 players! The problem is my save time takes close to a minute, and this is with a solid i7-4790k and 16gb ram.

    So my question is, I want to maintain the integrity and accuracy of the transfer market as close to real as possible while still keep the game moving at a good pace. How do I fix this?

    I really want access to as many players as possible to ensure realism.

    Thank you!
