Obviously this challenge would take alot of time to complete so a work around would be needed.
Points would be awarded for every step completed.
The FM Base Champions League
This was my favourite idea. Can we find the ultimate FM Champion on the forums? The idea was to have groups of 4-5 (or more) depending on entries I really don't expect to get 32 people. Then set a league or club for everyone to go...ie everyone go to The Premiership and choose there own club so winning the league with stoke would be the same as with Man Utd...giving everyone a bit of freedom in who they want to manage...the aim is still to win more points than the others in your group...so really most people will go the big4...
Or we could all go the one side and the points system in groups applies....then the top 2-3 depending on group size go through to the next round and we keep going untill we have our champion of champions
I also propose no signings in this if we all go seperate sides...makes it fair to stop everyone going Man City and using there funds as an advantage
