First of all welcome to this York City thread. I'm still into FM12 and this time I wanted to choose a team which I have a little personal connection with. I lived in York, North Yorkshire a while ago (altough I'm Hungarian) and I really like the city and all it's vibe. So I decided to take on York City's seat in Blue Square Premier.

Starting with 0k transfer funds I really had my limitations in choosing the right players. Our media prediction was 5th place so eventually decided to keep majority of the players. I signed Pablo Counago on free transfer and a few others I have never even heard of and started the season with high expectations.
To be honest this was my least challenging career start, and with 4-4-2 counter we were crowned as BSP champions at the end of season. This was no surprise, and I didn't put much emphasis on the league as we had no benefits from the matches. During springtime we had some major injuries, and our winning streak has come to end, but the title was already secured. Jason Walker and Pablo Counage seemed the most useful players so I'll keep them as reserves for next season.
Sorry I'm forbidden to attach more than one picture, so here's the stage overview:
1. York / 31 - 9 - 6 / For: 92 - Ag: 37 / Pts: 102
2. Wrexham 90 pts
3. Fleetwood 89 pts
4. Stockport 87 pts
5. Mansfield 81 pts (Promoted in play-off)
...
19th Luton Town (Title contenders haha...)
...
24th Southport
More interesting was the FA Cup as we managed to take on two L2 and one L1 teams. In the fourth round we've found ourselves in Championship title contender Blacpool's home and we've been brushed aside unfortunately. However it was a very good run, and we could foresee some of our rivals for next season.
FA Trophy was a bit tricky with our reserve team, but we've managed to reach the semi-final.
So this was my first season with York City and I'm proud of our overall performances. The L2 story is coming soon. Cheers.
