    When you save before a game and you concede 30 seconds in

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 02:46 AM PST

    Lower league database has changed the game for me!

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 05:51 PM PST

    This is incredible. I'm managing in the 11th tier of English football with the team I used to play for: Dukinfield Town. We have TWO season ticket holders at £30 each and our ground is literally just a local park field.

    We have £26 in the bank. I am five promotions away from reaching Vanarama North. We're gonna bring the Champions League to our two fans here at Woodhams Park, but first we have the Manchester Football League to conquer.

    I've added local rivalries with Curzon Ashton, Ashton United, Stalybridge Celtic, Oldham Athletic, Stockport County, Stockport Town, Droylsden, Hyde, FC United and more to keep things spicy in the Greater Manchester area. I've also rebranded and edited the kits to match the sexy green, black and gold kit I used to wear way back when.

    My main task right now is garnering income by any means necessary. During pre season and some breaks mid season I've arranged friendlies with teams as enormous as York, Macclesfield and Darlington and raised our bank balance to a massive £2,500. Our board then decides to spend £3000 on a coaching course for one of our coaches...who will leave us for free soon enough since he's on an amateur contract.

    UGH. It's going to be a long save.

    If you've read this far I like you. My wife doesn't give a flying fuck about it. And if you haven't given one of these lower league databases a try you absolutely should , it's just sheer madness.

    The tactic used

    Second half of 2020/2021 season

    Last time, we were sitting comfortably at the top of the table in January 2021, and boy was the seat comfy. The january transfer window saw us offload some deadwood again, letting James go on loan to Arsenal for a small fee, selling de Roon to China for 26 million, but keeping him on loan until the end of the next season, without paying his wages, which is a great deal, possibly the best deal in the history of deals, ever, and I know deals, I know them, they always tell me you're so good at deals how do you do it, it's true!

    The year started with us defeating Sassuolo 1-0 with a Zapata goal, then followed a cup game and the supercup final. I got rid of Verona in a tough game that went to extra time, 3-2, then played another 120 minutes just four days later to get past Lazio and win the supercup 2-1. Verona came for their revenge in the league, but were easily dealt with, Zapata and Ilicic each scoring twice. Zapata again scored the only goal against Napoli in the following cup round, then came a game against the mighty Roma. Not so mighty now, are we? the boys continued their unstoppable onslaught, winning their sixteenth league game in a row.

    We played Roma again four days later in the first leg of the cup semifinal, and win 4-3 thanks to a 95th minute winner from captain Papu, who's having a much better season than the first one, but then again, literally everyone is on steroids for me this year. Our government-mandated trip to Milan to remind them that the city and its inhabitants are indeed still our collective bitch was scheduled next and went as expected. Unfortunately, our cup run would come to a halt, with us losing the return leg to Roma 2-1, and going out on away goals, but the boys would not let that discourage them, bouncing back with an emphatic win over strugglers Juventus.

    The Champions League was next, we hosted Manchester United, a team so much better on FM that it has any right to be, mainly due to the Premier League being so unbelievably overrated. We made sure to hit hard, and hit early and just like that, United were rocked. Ole's lost control of the vehicle, and it looked like an early exit for the boys in red. The league had almost become an afterthought at this point, my players feeling ridiculously powerful, breezing past every team, winning the three following games against Bologna, Cagliari and Napoli, 5-0, 4-2 and 1-0.

    It's return leg time, and I was shaking. Even with a 3-0 lead, no away goal conceded, I know what can happen in Europe. I tell my players to be focused, and again, plan to hit hard in the early stages to unsettle them, and what a plan that turned out to be. The madlads actually went and scored three goals in the opening seven minutes, putting us at 6-0 on aggregate. The rest of the game was an absolute slaughter on their part, they managed to claw their way back and score four, and as I was starting to sweat, Gagliardini immediately replied to their fourth with his own, putting us again out of reach, with what would be the final goal of the game. Nobody puts four past us and lives to tell the tale, let that be a lesson. We drew Monchengladbach next, which I felt was a blessing, seeing as we had just beaten one of the strongest teams.

    Again, three league games in between, three massacres, 2-0 at Juve Stabia with two Ilicic goals, 6-0 at home to Parma with two Ilicic goals, and 6-2 away to Pordenone with two Zapata goals, putting his total at 33 league goals, on the 2nd of April, well on track to smash Higuain's record of 36, with seven games remaining.

    Gladbach put up a much bigger fight than I anticipated, and I only came away from the first leg with a 1-0 advantage, going to their stadium. Only one league game in between now, and I decided to rest all of my starters, which led to us painfully managing to put Perugia aside, 2-1, with goals from Gagliardini and Grujic. The return leg came, and my players inexplicably forgot how to play football. Thankfully, we reached the half time whistle still goalless, but the performance was atrocious, which I made sure to let them know. Unfortunately what was long coming, came, and Neuhaus opened the scoring four minutes into the second half, followed by Thuram eight minutes later.

    Needing a goal, I tried to motivate my players, and as he so often does, the proverbial saviour Timothy Castagne scored the crucial away goal in the 66th minute which was synonymous with qualification. All we had to do was hold on. Unfortunately, only five minutes after being brought on as my final substitute, Filippo Melegoni suffered an injury and had to come off the pitch. The pressure of being down a man for the final fifteen minutes proved too much for my players, and we broke down in stoppage time in a disappointing fashion, conceding twice in two minutes. Remember when I said nobody puts four past us and lives to tell the tale?

    To make matters even worse, our 25 game winning streak ended at the hands of Lazio, with Giroud miraculously salvaging a point at the last possible second. Luckily, we hosted Inter next, and we all know what happened next. Still firmly on their leash. Unfortunately, this would be Zapata's final league goal of the season, being kept away from the scoresheet in the final four games, meaning he fell short of the record, but still finished with a glorious 34 goals in 38 games. The final four games were fairly straightforward, and the boys picked up 12/12 points, relegating our rivals Brescia in the process. That one's for selling Tonali to a weak fucking team in England instead of me, wankers.

    Final league table: Absolutely surreal, to think this is the second season, and I've brought in practically nobody, winning the league twice, and in such dominant fashion is completely unheard of.

    Final team stats: Zapata with 41 goals, Ilicic 25, Papu finally raking in the assists, everything was set up beautifully for the following season. I did not plan on doing a lot of business, again having an enormous amount of money saved up at this point (150M transfer budget) the only position I would need someone, if I didn't lose anybody, was for my 10, Papu being 33, I would start to phase him out of the team gently.

    Hey Leão, why don't you fuck off?

    2021/2022 season

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Only Malang Sarr forced his way out, when I refused a bid from Tottenham, with him being expendable, I decided to sell him for 40 million euros to Manchester United, go on lads you need to spend the money to build a squad that can match up with mine. I managed to offload James to Shakhtar of all clubs, for 30 million, and shipped Freuler to China, for 40 million, with him being 30, I jumped on the occasion. Here are the exits.

    In terms of arrivals, well, I signed Higuain on a free to be a mentor to the youth, namely Esposito who I'm greatly counting on to be my new attacking powerhouse. I loaned in Juan Miranda from Barça B to cover for Gosens, and signed Alessandro Murgia as midfield depth for 6.5 million. Then, as I was perusing the transfer market, searching for unhappy and unsettled players, I came across a lad by the name of Andrew Robertson. With them signing Jorge and Ben Chilwell, Robbocop felt like he needed reassurance of his place in the squad and demanded a new contract, a request which was denied. Licking my lips, I readied a bid, and following some back-and-forth, managed to agree with Liverpool on 55 million plus 25 in eventual bonuses. Obviously, his wage demands were sky high for what I was ready to offer, but I made the sacrifice, and turned him into our highest earner by far, earning 155 thousand per week, nobody else even breaking the 100k mark. This would prove to be a good decision however.

    This season, the game decided to test me right out of the gate, and throw me into the only fixture which I lost last year, away to Juventus, who finished in 6th place for the second season in a row. The boys took their revenge and beat up the Old Lady, to get started on the right foot. The game was however not done throwing hurdles in front of me, as I hosted Inter next, and this time, the collar broke, and the bitch was loose. I was still able to keep it in its cage, and settle on a 0-0 draw at home.

    Then came deadline day, and everything changed. Again, quick look at the market to see who's a sad boi and wants to leave and be rescued by football's greatest tactician, I decide to check what United are up to. Well, turns out Ole ran out of gas after crashing out of the CL, and they finished in 5th place, and Mr Pogba has handed in a transfer request. You're thinking: surely not, the team is settled, the egos are kept in check, everyone is well-drilled, and even if you pay their 90 million asking price, what of his wages?

    What of his wages, you ask? Why, I'll have United taking care of those! So, long story short, I added a bunch of shit to the deal, and they're paying his wages. Yes, do not scratch your eyes, Atalanta Bergamo have actually gone and fucking signed Paul Pogba, and as a cherry on top of the giant cake, we're only paying him 85 thousand euros a week! Granted, we've spent 200 (two hundred) million euros to get him, which is almost definitely a terrible idea, he's ours now.

    With Pogba in our team, I simply relegated old man Papu to the bench, and moved Malinovskyi up to the 10 spot, and had the world cup winner take the coveted Regista spot. The first two games after the break were draws however, away to Fiorentina, and at home to Liverpool. Our group also contained Krasnodar, and last but not least Monchengladbach, who I was eager to get revenge on for last year. Only three league games to go until we meet, motherfuckers. Bologna, 3-0, Verona, 4-0, Cagliari, 3-1, in the new episode of "the wingback show" starring Andy and Timmy

    It's Gladbach time! Unfortunately, maybe due to the pressure of the occasion, now back-up left back Robin Gosens got himself sent off only 19 minutes in, and my players could not withstand the repeated assaults... Did you know that Monchengladbach is German for Kryptonite? I'll get you next time, I shall get the last laugh.

    What was unthinkable three years ago is now reality, the league has become an absolute formality for this team, again with our talk show hosts Andy and Timmy running the show, the team would go on another twenty-five game win streak, a feat so ridiculous, it requires two screenshots. I am not save-scumming, I don't own the editor, I just think I've legitimately stumbled upon a broken tactic, which I've exploited with the perfect players required for each role. That streak however, marked the unfortunate decline of Papu Gomez, and most importantly, Duvan Zapata, "only" scoring 7 goals in the first 19 league games.

    One man's loss is another man's gain, and as I had hoped, my Italian stallion Sebastiano Esposito had picked up the slack, scoring important goal after important goal to keep the winning streak alive, and earning more and more game time over a tiring Zapata.

    The champions league campaign got rolling, after failing to win the opening two group games, the gang won the remaining four, smacking Krasnodar both times, claiming Anfield as an Italian territory, and finally getting our revenge over our German rivals, even topping the group over them. I said NOBODY puts four past us and lives to tell the story. Liverpool finishing in 3rd place with 10 points, I feel for Krasnodar though...

    Nobody was signed in January, seeing as I had asked the board to build a new stadium, after extending the capacity of the previous one, I judged that 26 thousand seats wouldn't be enough for the greatest team in Italy. Now of course, you might ask me "why did you ask them to build a new stadium, then spend two hundred fucking million on Paul Pogba?" Which is a very fair question, one for which I do not possess the answer.

    The supercup was lost on penalties to Milan, we barely scraped by the first round of the cup, edging Bologna also on penalties, only to be taken out in the next round by Roma, you guessed it, because of penalties. With the league already pretty much wrapped up with a 15 point lead in January, I only had the CL to focus on. Unfortunately, the players did not reciprocate the magic of last year, and we lost both legs against Arsenal, 1-0 at home and 3-0 away. Immediately following both legs, the players were a little bit fired up and showed absolutely no mercy whatsoever.

    That game against Sampdoria would mark the last in the 25 wins in a row, and most importantly, the end of our 60 games undefeated streak. Lazio again... I have never won away against them, and it is now my ultimate goal. Unbeaten in the league for a record shattering 60 games, from the 26th of September 2020 to the 19th of March 2022.

    With the league walked, nine games remained, and the feeling around the training ground was that sensation of being in school when you only have a few days of class left, a feeling of nothing really mattering, and being able to do whatever you want. After a 2-1 win against Torino, the unthinkable happened. Milan was no longer our bitch, I repeat, Milan was no longer our bitch. This is not a drill, every alarm rang as loud as they could in the city of Bergame, and the day is forever etched in history as the blackest day in the history of the club. I spent hours berating them after the game, in a speech that must have shaken them up, seeing as we would keep seven clean sheets in the final seven games.

    To make matters worse, take a gander at who won the god damn champions league...

    Season recap

    The final league table of the season, not as dominant as the previous one, but still unmatched. I don't know what the fuck is going on with Juventus, they've had Guardiola, Deschamps and now Zidane and none of them seem to be able to get them on the right path, even finishing below Torino, and not even getting any European football for next season. Could this be a job for me..? Fuck no, black and blue until I die, this isn't my sex life, I don't fuck with old ladies.

    The final team stats, no runaway top scorer this time, Esposito with 14 in the league, Zapata 16, which while disappointing by his standards is still a very respectable amount, and a surprising 22 league goals for Ilicic, still going strong at 34 years of age! Castagne was awarded the serie A player of the year trophy, for his outstanding season with seven goals and twelve assists in 33 league games. Papu Gomez had a very poor season, plagued by injuries, and simply not good enough anymore, our loyal captain only scored one goal in the entire season, in the 5-0 win over SPAL in April. Thankfully this time, thanks to Zapata's slight dip in form which meant I played Esposito more than usual, all eleven of our players made the team of the season!

    So, what now?

    Well, 2022 means Qatar world cup year, with its fucked up schedule, so I'm going to need depth, which I'll get on the cheap as always. I will also need to get a ball-winning midfielder to replace de Roon, whose loan is ending, without spending too much, keeping in mind we're building a new stadium. Retaining the title is obviously going to be the goal,and this time, I want to compete for the Champions League, to show everyone and especially our nemesis Gladbach I mean business. I think this will be the year Papu bows out of the team, his contract expiring at the end of next season, I will respectfully keep him on his ungodly high wages of 63 thousand a week despite not playing him anymore, as a thank you for his service to the club, and hope he retires at the end of the season so I can sign him to my staff. The armband will be leaving his arm though, and I made sure to give him a final start with the captain's armband for our final home game against Genoa. This might also be Ilicic's final year, even if he is still going strong, his legs are starting to go, and his physicals are deteriorating.

    Outro

    As always, thank you for reading, even if only a few of you bothered to make it this far! This is a bit of a longer post, because it's a season and a half's worth of content, but I tried to shorten it, seeing as we're somehow stomping the league every year, a fact I'm only now realising. Sorry for the lack of in-game screenshots, but having to switch the language of the game anytime I want to take a screenshot is something I don't want to bother doing, so I just take them in bulk at the end of the season.

    Money through preseason friendlies

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 04:45 PM PST

    I know you can schedule a crazy amount of high profile friendlies before seasons to bring in 4-8mil in revenue...for a low league team that shatters revenue expectations...what are some of yalls opinions on this tactic? Is it fair? Is there a certain way some of you do it to make it more fair? Is it exploiting the game?...I'm struggling with a financially burdened team and am looking for ways to make money in a fair way.
