Presentation.
While I was thinking on going back to a club save for FM18, something which I don't remember what is anymore, made me think this is even more a journeyman kind of edition. Also I've enjoyed the past journeyman saves quite a bit, so I'm making yet another journeyman save.
As I made tradition, journeyman save means female manager. Aleyna Demirel:
I chose the recommended licenses and past experience instead of setting it down to minimum because of a thought: In the past two editions I started my manager with no licenses with the idea it would make it more challenging. Indeed it would in terms of players respecting her, however I wouldn't say my managers had much of a problem with that. At the same time, each new license earned means 5% reputation, which means starting with the least licenses, none, may instead be a way to reduce the challenge by giving you potential for a bigger reputation increase without needing results in the picth.
No extra languages. Only one favourite team: Fenerbahçe, because in reality my favourite (well, second after Aíto García Reneses) and best manager of basketball is currently managing Fenerbahçe (as many Euroleague titles to his name as the most awarded team, Real Madrid, with nine).
Turkish because in beta I got job offers from Indian and Turkish clubs and the pic I use to create her appearance makes her more likely to be Turkish than Indian.
No favourite formations, Aleyna will be a pragmatist that will never care to try steer a team to her preferred formation, not that my past managers were much of the mind of doing that. But I always tended to gravitate towards the 4-1-2-2-1 wide and this time I will try to not go so much to that.
This time there won't be special rules about not searching players by attributes or only hiring staff through job announcements if I have that responsibility. This doesn't necessarily mean I won't use adverts. I may use adverts as first attempt and if none is acceptable then use the staff search. Maybe if I were to carry a second save for a single club then I'd do that with this save not to play both in the same way.
She has high work with youngsters and adaptability because those never increase. Determination to represent her will to get to the top aside from gender roles when born in a country that sounds like one to be harder for women, I think I've seen somewhere Turkey having quite a poor score about that. I left level of discipline at 1, despite that not growing, because I'm going to have her take to heart, maybe too much, my idea from basketball that when players have to be giving a lot of effort, that means the tactical system isn't working right. Specially in defence. A good tactic must have the players take positions that will allow them to deal with threats with the least effort possible. This reminds me I should have not gone with the Demirel surname, which is the first Turkish player to come to mind, but Solort, after the something something Alderamin series main character, Ikta Solork (one of the good points of that series is they present you with a tactical genius that isn't portrayed as such by contrasting him to everyone else being moronic buffoons. There's only one incompetent general, who's not moronic and his incompetence isn't there to make Ikta look genius but for other story reasons).
This save should be a FM18 long one, to see how far she goes. Finishing earlier would be only by winning every top competition of the season (cups may be excluded). Though stablishing herself as top division team in a top league is to be considered a successful career.
I may add a club only save, as I said above, but I consider that highly unlikely.
