The Scunthorpe Problem After 72 years in the Football League, Scunthorpe United were officially relegated to the fifth tier of English football after a dismal 2021/22 season in which they won just four of their 46 games and finished a full 18 points from safety. The Iron were harshly...

The Australian Ethnic Challenge The aim of this challenge is to win the National Premier League of each federation with a club of a certain ethnicity, for the three major footballing ethnicities in Australia - Italian, Greek and Croatian. For some NPLs, there are multiple clubs of a certain...

One thing that I've always wanted to 'fix' in the football world is how terrible domestic football is in Wales. For a national side that has been in the top 10 of the world on a few occasions recently, the Welsh Premier League is quite simply one of the worst in Europe and it isn't helped by the...

Just read through the whole thing, congrats on the success! Had a similar save in FM17 but with Edinburgh City and I made it harder on myself by only signing players born in the city. However I can definitely appreciate how tough it is getting up the Scottish lower divisions.

Season Objectives The league campaign is almost upon us and so it is time to take a look at where we should be finishing this season. After a promising result in the Trophee des Champions, I think we might have what it takes to pip P$G but I don't want to be too optimistic of course, lest it...

CJ Lippo: Thanks Lippo! I put a lot of time into it and I'm happy with how it's turned out :) PatrickLFC: Cheers, it was very gutsy from the players which I something I like to see Yeti01: Like I said to Lippo, I put in a lot of effort and I'm glad it's being enjoyed.

Trophee des Champions 2015 So, my first competitive game is here - the Trophee des Champions against Paris $aint-Germain. What a way to kick off proceedings, a chance to win a trophy against the team I'm actively looking to take down. It would certainly make a good start to my Lyon career...

Nnicod55: At the moment, I'm only going to give young Maxwel Cornet a go in the first team. Like I said in an earlier reply, we have fantastic players in the 20-23 age range but not much below that, especially with the club having sold Yassine Benzia for 725k (ridiculous fee when viewed by an FM...

The Average One: To begin with we had a wage budget of roughly 775k and a transfer budget of 2m, so no real room to move hence the loan signing of Correa.

Pre-Season 2015/16 I've never placed that much importance on pre-season results, with my main focus being getting the boys into good shape with their fitness as well as making sure they know how to play my tactic. Over the course of July, we played 6 friendlies so I hope that can get them...

Transfer Update With Clement Grenier officially out of action until December, I needed more cover in the attacking midfield position. Even though I have Valbuena and Fekir, both capable of playing at AMC, their primary positions will be the wings so I needed someone to fill in albeit...

Player Watch #1 In these segments I'll be taking a look in-depth at some of my biggest names and how they're heading, their biggest strengths and also what they bring to my side. Lyon have a lot of players I admire and I'd like to share them all. In reality however, I'll have to keep it to the...

bnpwp1979: Cheers mate, I'd like to make it dominated by Lyon once again because they're not oil-rich free spending global sport ruiners ;) PatrickLFC: I don't want to give too much away but Beauvue has definitely worked his way into my plans over the course of the season. Bullardinho: Cheers...

Squad Report and Tactical Plans The reason I was so attracted to Olympique Lyonnais is that the squad is all but set-up for the next 5 seasons with a majority of vibrant, up and coming young players that can improve to European level. Alexandre Lacazette, Clement Grenier and Corentin Tolisso...

Welcome Welcome to what I hope will be my first prolific FM16 save and story, after multiple slip-ups and tactical errors over multiple saves. FM16 just hadn't been working out for me but after constructing a tactic for my Chelsea-United story with Maximus, I tried it out on a new save and by...
