Hello everyone, I don't know if I'm not allowed to post this here, if not I'm sorry - but I'm going to show you in words and pictures my incredible journey through two seasons of overachieving with AFC Wimbledon. This is my first real LLM save except a minor challenge with Leeds in FM 10 that wasn't even demanding. [Although I did not make my own tactic or training)
AFC Wimbledon have the estimated value of 1 million pounds, their debts equal their estimated value.
1st season: Media Prediction was about 9th-14th not even a promotion?
I decided to take over AFC Wimbledon because I remembered their name from CM 03/04, or was that Wimbledon? When they were in debts in the Champions League with loads of good players.
The first thing I noticed about them was that I had to make a lot of improvements to get my goal win the league. I wasted about an hour just in the player search looking for players and I saw some interesting players on the forum, the players I discovered were few but useful.
I decided I would use the Goals Galore tactic with a little tweak and I changed to a 4-3-3, no wingers. (Match Preparation Focus: Attacking Positioning)
My team was usually like this:
Liam O'Brien (Very good free goalkeeper)
Shaun ******* (Reading), Nathan Baker (Villa), Gavin Hoyte (Arsenal), César (free)
Mahoto (free), Laraudo (free), Victor Pálsson (Liverpool) / Dominic Morfeo (free, expert set piece taker)
Akwuegbu (free) - Léo Aro (free) - Ngo Baheng (free)
I was about 2 K over the wage budget, so I was determined to get some prize money.
My flop signing was Ben Hoskin, played very few games because of Cummings and Hoyte.
I started really well and only lost 1 game in the first 7 matches, and I was winning everything and it was fairly easy, my squad consisted of players with capable of playing at a much higher level.
I surprised my self in the F.A. Cup.
AFC Wimbledon 3-0 Basingstoke (FA Cup 4th round qualification)
FC Halifax 0-4 AFC Wimbledon (FA Cup 1st Round)
Morecambe 1-3 AFC Wimbledon (FA Cup 2nd Round)
AFC Wimbledon 1-0 Man Utd (FA Cup 3rd Round) - They used their reserve squad and Macheda got injured after 5 minutes.
AFC Wimbledon 2-2 Bolton (FA Cup 4th Round)
Bolton 5-2 AFC Wimbledon (FA Cup 4th Round Replay)
Bolton did not repeat Man Utd mistakes. I was really happy with my performance and got nice chunk of money from this competition.

Now the competition for the smaller teams, FA Trophy, smaller teams, less prize money.
AFC Wimbledon 2-0 Luton (FA Trophy 1st Round)
AFC Wimbledon 2-0 Hayes & Yeading (FA Trophy 2nd Round)
Crawley 2-3 Wimbledon (FA Trophy 3rd Round)
AFC Wimbledon 4-2 Histon (FA Trophy 4th Round)
Wrexham 2-3 AFC Wimbledon(FA Trophy Semi Finals 1st Leg)
AFC Wimbledon 2-0 Wrexham (FA Tropy Semi Finals 2nd Leg)
AFC Wimbledon 4-1 Eastbourne Boro (FA Trophy Final)
Great success in the FA Trophy and everyone loved me.
The BSP was also a walk in the park for my team.
Of course I was amazed by this, I got a coach with 15 in both juding abilities that rated my top striker as a "Good Championship Player" and few teams interested in him, I understand that.
Great player, played him in the middle of a three men attacking force, as a poacher.
I will continue in the next post.
PS. I hope someone reads this
