El Gran Repte d'Andorra (The Great Andorran Challenge)

[MojoDex]

Despite the clubs Success i have not forgotten the NT, The NT is starting to improve very slowly with players from the Andorran league proving useless it was down to my own youth products to step up

So some excellent results, You obviously have alredy seen the Israel result in my last update so i will go from there and highlight the good results.

2-0 in Estonia! The rarest of things an away win, More over a fully deserved away win. We dominated this game like we have never done before, Hopefully the tweaks to the formation are compensating for our lack of skill.

You wait for an away win and then 2 come along at once! The first time we have ever had back to back wins and the 2-1 scoreline flatters Latvia.

And then we only went and drew with Croatia! 2 wins and a draw all on the back of each other was simply to good to be true. Something was starting to click on Andorran travels.

We then proceeded to humble Estonia at home, We really started to rack up those points.

Another point off Croatia, If we had kept 11 men on the pitch i'm certain we would of won this game.

Ok we still were along way off qualification but we have certainly made progress. I firmly believe once i get the youth product playing we can comfortably qualify for a tournament.

holy **** the fm god is at it again well done that man

I found it hard to believe that we rolled Man Utd over so easily!

Where are Andorra on the world rankings

At the time of writing we keep fluctuating between 130-150 ish, A massive improvement on where we were

Can I ask about N. Ireland and New Zealand? Because on FM12 at the end of the first season, N. Ireland were 4th and New Zealand were like 206th underneath SAN MARINO

I thought this bared mentioning, 5 players is no mean feat and one of the others is a player we sold!

We will again face English opposition.

We have had some business come our way aswell more of those to good to be true offers for players, Typical of Manchester more money than sence!

Replacements for both are incoming.

Jorgen Meng
Danish international was already coming to us but Ngobese's departure means he is now coming as first choice. IMO is just as good as Ngobese but doesn't take up a valuable foreign spot

Koo Jae-Woong
This man I went searching for as a replacement for Nasa, What a player! On top of that he will be worth a small fortune in marketing. He will patrol our midfield

Mousa Dembele
I found myself short of coer last season so he has been signed purley as that. He covers 3 positions for us so I will be looking for him to make an impact off the bench when needed.

We have also had the draw for the champions league and i think Juventus are following me.

We still are not favourites for La Liga

Northern Ireland are around 50th and New Zealand are around 150th both keep going up and down a bit, San Marino are 164th.

Our opposition has been quite easy all said and done in our friendlies however 4 wins from 4 is always good with some massive results!

We added another Spanish super cup to our trophy room

We also added another European super cup! I have had my eye on Tottenhams Jamie Gore for years heused to be at Southampton but Tottenham got to him before I got the funds together.

Unfortunatley forgot to SS at 10 games, So 20 games in we have had some mixed form, including 5 draws in a row!

We sit 2nd with 2 games in hand, Even winning those 2 games will not allow us to jump Barcelona So when we play them we need to take points off them.

We have also completed the champions league group stages.

We lost 1 game won 5 leaves us top quite handily

We also won the world club cup exactly at the canter I imagined we would.

 

[MojoDex]

9 wins from 10 with 1 loss

Hows this for a scoreline?

We are still second and still 2 games in hand, However if we win those 2 games we will now over take Barcelona.

Back in the champions league we drew AC Milan. After a draw at the San Siro we destroyed them in Andorra.

We then drew new European super power Man City and we absolutley humiliated them in there own stadium and duly finished the job in Andorra.

We return to Manchester to face United in the semi final.

It would seem this is what I can expect from my youth intakes now 5 players! Horrible glitch but at least I got some players this time around!

Borja Cifuentes
Thankfully a brilliant young talent, I'll re-train him to play left wing as an inside forward and i'm confident first team wait for him in a few years time.

Juan Carlos Galindo
Another great youngster, Will hopefully be good enough to play up front.

Laureano Velarde
Looks like he will be a real class centre back. Hopefully can come into both the club and NT first teams.

Domingos Pacheco
I'm going to need to change formation with all these Attacking Midfielders coming through. Another one who looks really good. Hopefully an option in a few years.

I'm hoping if i can get my scouting range upgraded again my intakes will increase in numbers!​

 

[MojoDex]

Last 8 games and we had 7 wins, The last game was my second string so they did OK considering.

We have obviously won the league, why else would i field my second string! We won it with one game to spare and that gives us our 3rd league in as many seasons!

I wont pretend i'm bothered about the Copa Del Rey but when we do well it's always nice. So winning it was always going to be welcome as was beating Barcelona in the final.

Back to the big one the Champions League we face Man Utd. In what had to be the best 2 legs the Champions League where we have just about got through.

We faced MORE English opposition, I may as well play in the premier league at this rate! Regardless we crushed Chelsea and won our second champions league trophy!

We also cleaned up the end of year awards.

screenshot of tactic? An attacking 442??

 

[gogogo golem]

Doing really well! The intake IS a bug and if it carries on it will have nasty knock on effects on everything. It MUST be reported to SI.

The tactic is available to download in an update a few pages back

I'll go upload it, Is it just a known bug or is it a new one?

It's been around on some saves in some countries for at least the whole of FM13 and it takes its toll on long term saves. But since this new patch it's on more saves in more countries, more drastically. However, it happens more on edited games.

 

[TommyTomster]

Hey about how many players do you have loaded?

So the custon database screws me up? Lovely....

Hey about how many players do you have loaded?

Its a small database with all Andorrans loaded, so maybe 14000 i think

After a season of massive success we have probably the strongest squad in football, This means not alot needs adding. We have sold a few players for what i feel are very worth while amounts. So I have only brought in 1 player. While my HOYD has had his ability to sign players taken away, I can't use all the south Americans he keeps signing!

Tycho van der Wel
This young Dutch man can cover 4 positions for us. He looks like he has talent to burn, He will start on the bench then who knows.

Our overall transfers has had to be done in 2 SS as that many left the club mainly on loan, George Clifford spent most of his time moaning about not playing, when he was signed as backup so i snapped Galatasarys hand off. Zigor Ugarte leaves for 4.8m a player I have had since the first season so i was sad to see him leave. Francesco Formigoni has gone to Man City for a staggering 42m! Iff you can remember I signed him on a free! I am also abusing my feeder club Herenveen as there facilities are better than mine!

We are second favourites for the league, Not sure what I need to do to be favourites...

We played all our friendlies away and still won them all.

We have been drawn in an "easy" champions league group apparantly. Lyon are never easy.

First 10 games of the season, Euro super cup and Spanish super cup to follow.​

 

[MojoDex]

We have started well this seson already picking up 2 bits of silerware and storming on in the league with 9 wins.

Top with a two point lead, All well and good so far.

We'e going well in the champions league

Maximum points leaves us top of the group after 3 games.
