Hello! This will be my main save for FM19! I appreciate all feedback and shares!
https://stratmangaming.wordpress.com/2018/10/04/fm19-main-save-challenge-and-team-reveal/
Hello and welcome to my blog! With the FM19 beta rapidly approaching and a lot of new features announced I thought it was time to finally think of an idea for my main save on the game.
After considering a number of themes and teams it was the Ryder Cup that gave me the inspiration for my save. With Team Europe (For those unfamiliar with golf’s Ryder Cup) consisting of golfers from all over the continent, I thought about taking this idea to its extreme and applying it to football instead. Here’s what I came up with.
The Rules
I will be playing as a custom team (more on this later) in the French Championnat National (third tier) and I will be imposing significant limitations on what players I can sign for my team and have in my squad. I will be sticking to the following five rules.
1. European Players
In my first team and reserve squad, I will only be allowed one player from each European nation at a time. I am classing European nations as those that play in the UEFA region. This rule applies to any non-academy players regardless of their age.
2. Non-European Players
Only one player from outside Europe in my first team squad and one in my reserves. So no spamming South American regens! (that was hard to write)
3. Youth Academy
No rules or restrictions on my youth squad so I can have whatever nationalities I want there. I can only play a youth player in the first team that breaks the first two rules if there is an injury or suspension crisis.
4. Academy Graduates
From all players that graduate naturally from the academy, I will be allowed to keep two graduates in my first team and two in my reserve squad until the season where they turn 23. At this point, they will be affected by rules 1 and 2 so I will have some tough choices to make as my academy graduates mature.
5. Academy Wonderkids
The final rule adds a little more spice to how I handle my academy. If a wonderkid appears in my academy and I want to promote him before he graduates naturally then he is subjected to rules 1 or 2 immediately. This creates a dilemma; do I promote him to benefit his development but potentially force out a first-team player in the process or do I keep him in the academy until he graduates naturally and potentially stalls his development.
The Team
With these rules in mind lets take a look at the team I will be playing. As I mentioned earlier I’ll be playing as a custom team in the French third tier due to there being no restrictions on how many non-domestic players I can put in my squad which is something I need to be able to do for this challenge.

Considering the nature of the challenge I’ve decided to give my team the imaginative name of F.C. Europa! With the badge designed by FMLogos, it draws inspiration from the Team Europe logo from the Ryder Cup and I recommend checking out the twitter handle in hyperlink or the thread on FM-Base, there are some great logo’s on there.
I will design kits for F.C Europa when FM19 is actually released but I will take inspiration from the Ryder cup uniforms and use the colours from the club crest! Similarly I will decide which team to replace my custom team with in the league at this time as well.
Tracking Progress
Along side simply trying to develop F.C Europa to be the best that they can I will be looking to complete four tiers of side objectives as my game progresses. These are;
Tier 1
Have a player from every UEFA nation in my squad.
Tier 2
Have a player from every UEFA nation make an appearence for F.C Europa.
Tier 3
Have a player from every UEFA nation score a goal in a competitive match
Tier 4
A player from each nation gets a man of the match award.
To track the progress in all four of these categories I will be using maps from the website mapchart.net. This is a great free tool! Just as an example see the map below, I’ll be aiming to have the whole map coloured in before too long, although sadly I expect Tier 4 to be practically impossible!9a75388f-3ddc-4743-922d-4b54f723a787.png
Additionally I’ll be keeping a table of top scorers and appearance makers for each nationality so it will be interesting to see which one comes out on top as the team progresses.
That’s all from me for now! I’ll be posting my progress on Twitter as well as on the website FM-Base so be sure to check both of these out!
Thanks for taking the time to read, the next update for this save will be when FM19 is released!
