FM-Base Money Bags Challenge

Currently doing this Challenge. In my 7th season, 2nd season in premiership. Won Promotion from every division, the championship was the most challenging. I have been building a young team instead of going for all the stars which helped me finish 12th in first season in the premiership
 
Season 1 Promotion

I thought I would challenge myself more by not signing any players and relying on the regens... was very difficult actually! Ended up getting promoted via the Playoffs but flirted with the sack a few times first. Mostly good results but some horrible ones. Seemed to defend OK but didn't score enough. Performances got better from March - in fact I was undefeated until the end of the season after new youth players were promoted in March. Knocked out in the 2nd Round of the FA Trophy but the Board wasn't bothered.

Going to start up another one and only sign under 19s and see how it goes
 
2012-13 Season - Blue Square South

Had to restart this challenge as was having some problems with my computer. Won league fairly comfortably. Lost some games but this was generally towards the end of the season when league was sewn up. Transfers were mainly free transfers, but managed to buy some regens near the end of the season which were recommended by the scouting team.

Easiest challenge ive ever seen. Hardly a success winning out on this! What a waste of time
 
I managed to get to the Prem last year on this, going to do this combined with the Global Free Agent Challenge. Might even make a story
 
Only criticism is the domestic cup competitions: the FM-Base team aren't registered for the FA Cup or the League Cup and I'm in my second season and we haven't been entered this season either. Otherwise really enjoying this database, thanks so much!
Tip for everyone else is to be careful that you don't go bankrupt because you might be tempted to spend £800m first season, but you only have an income of about £20m a season.

Once you get to League 2 you get in the FA Cup and League Cup.
Am halfway through League 1 and going to win it easily just trying to keep my finances right cause you will really make no money until your in the Prem.
I lost 192million last season :(

Just started this one seems an interesting one :) Will post pics at end of each season.
 
**** wish I looked through this before I started signing players. Got a few big named young stars such as the ox, wisdom (cost me an arm and leg!). Will just have to see how it plans out in the next year or 2!
