So I usually wait until the game has been fully released before I start a save, but as I'm currently have a few weeks to kill before starting a new job the time seems rather fitting to get stuck into a new FM 22 story.
I would have quite liked to embark on a journeyman save, but as my laptop just about struggles through on the lowest graphic settings I'm trying my hand at a minnow nation save instead. I'll be taking over at Gerrard Piqué's newly acquired side, F.C. Andorra.
Piqué has expressed his dream of hearing the Champions League anthem being played at F.C. Andorra and it's a dream that I will be looking to fulfil. Initially this is going to be my sole objective, but over time I will hopefully see some high quality Andorran players coming through the academy and feeding into the National side. So I may well look to take over the National side in the future, but will unlikely be until we are at least in La Liga.
The club's facilities aren't actually as bad as I initially thought, although the stadium itself is tiny, with a max capacity of just 1,300
Just to add an extra dimension to the save I have decided to start myself with the minimum qualifications and experience as I look to try and build a name for myself alongside F.C. Andorra.
Here is a quick look at the squad I have inherited...
Key Players
Carlos Martínez
Marc Pedraza
Roger Riera
We have been predicted to finish 7th this season by the bookies, so potentially have a good shot at reaching the playoffs (2nd-5th) in our first season. I have zero knowledge of the Spanish leagues below La Liga so this really is a novel save for me to embark on.
