I'm back! Welcome to my second FM career story. You can check out my first story by following the link below.
http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/foot...-stories/336193-career-1-eastbourne-boro.html
After tackling Eastbourne Boro, we randomised our second career as well. The results? Yeovil! Now, if you've read my first thread, you'll know that the way I'm doing this series of stories is by using just one team. I randomise the team to give us a bit of a surprise, and do what I can with it. If I get fired, that's it. Story over! So, a bit about Yeovil. After staying in League 1 (tier 3) for a number of years, they got promoted to the Championship via the playoffs in 2012/2013. This was a massive surprise, given that they were never expected to get near the playoffs! Sadly, they came 24th in the Championship the following season, placing them instantly back down in League 1. This is where I'll be taking over. Just as a note, they actually came bottom (24th) again in the 2014/2015 season, so in the new season they're currently playing in League 2! Hopefully that won't happen in this career though, but it might give you an idea of how tough this job is on FM15. I'll do what I can though! Our league expectation is to hit the top half, and our media prediction is 10th. Yeovil play in a small stadium called Huish Park, which seats about 9,500. We've been given a transfer budget of £0 (great!), and a wage budget of £37,000 per week. Of this, £33,000 is currently being used, leaving us with around £4,000 to work with. This isn't too bad and will allow me to bring in a couple of players, but I want to save some of it to renew contracts and use in Janurary. Below is a brief summary of our club.

In terms of our squad, we have 23 players in the first team, which is pretty decent. Our star player is a young CM called Joe Edwards, who has been with Yeovil for a few years now. Our reports indicate that he would be a good championship midfielder, so to have him playing in League 1 is really going to be big help. In attack, we have a young striker called Kieffer Moore, who's hopefully going to play well this season. Aaron Martin is our best defender. Both players are of good League 1 quality. I'll be dipping into the market as well, and have a 5-man shortlist set up. I'll update on this thread at the first of every month. I'll see you all on 1st August, after I've got some of pre-season done!
