[FM20] Wandering to Titles - Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C

[Extra Time FM]

I’ve been playing Football Manager type games ever since Premier Manager 98. Back then, football management games were simpler and more streamlined. Seasons could be completed within an hour yet the joy and satisfaction was just as it is for me today.

Extra Time FM is a blog where I plan to write about the highs and lows of my Football Manager saves. Football Manager is all about the journey and documenting that helps add to the enjoyment.

I have started a new save with Wolves which you can read below. All new episodes will be shared here.

[Extra Time FM]

A mighty tough February coming up. I wouldn't be so interested in the FA Cup as I want to try and get as far as I can in the Europa League, but I can't turn down trying to smash West Brom in the Black Country Derby. It doesn't come around very often now they're in the Championship.

Considering our Portuguese interest from our board, I'll definitely be taking a closer look at some of Benfica's players.

 

[Extra Time FM]

We're back with another instalment. Episode 9.

Wandering to Titles - European Advancement (February) Episode 9

A tough month but we knew it was going to be. But we definitely had something to cheer about.

We also picked up this guy on a compensation deal. Could definitely be one for the future.

 

[Extra Time FM]

Episode 10 is now live!

Wandering to Titles - Solid Progression (March) Episode 10

A great month by all accounts. A tasty fixture against Salzburg in the Europa League while we also try and make headway in the league.

 

[Extra Time FM]

A near perfect month for us in April as we do our best to finish strong.

Wandering to Titles - A Near Perfect Month (April) Episode 11

We went on a stunning run that could see us eventually finish in a Champions League spot.

Here's a quick look at the League Table;

 

[Extra Time FM]

Episode 12 is now published.

With a late surge of wins we finish the season with the possibility to finish 4th. Also a Europa League final is in sights, but first we have to get past RB Leipzig.

Wandering to Titles - History Has Been Made (May) Episode 12

These stories are the reasons why we play Football Manager. I'm having a blast blogging this series so far. I hope you're all enjoying the ride.

 

[Extra Time FM]

Episode 13 is live as we take time to reflect on the season just gone.

Wandering to Titles - Season Review, Episode 13

What a season we just had. Such an amazing ride from start to finish. Big things are needed this summer as we try and compete in the best club competition in world football.

 

[Extra Time FM]

We now move into the 2nd season with Wolves. After an incredible first season, we embark on possibly the most important transfer window in Wolves history.

Wandering to Titles - Transfers Galore (Pre-Season) Episode 14

We have to make solid additions to the squad if we are to be able to compete in the champions league.

Bargain getting Tonali for £10m. Hope Bruno Fernandes does well for you

Bargain getting Tonali for £10m. Hope Bruno Fernandes does well for you

Tonali is an absolute steal. The board down seem too impressed but I'm sure he will prove them wrong.

 

[Extra Time FM]

We're finally underway with season 2 competitive fixtures. An interesting start as we face PSG in the Super Cup. They are absolutely stacked in all areas of the pitch.

Wandering to Titles - Season 2 Underway (August) Episode 15

A new tactic is now training. Unsure when to use it just yet, but it's there as a backup.

Thanks for reading!

 

[Extra Time FM]

Our first taste of Champions League football is upon us. We've come a long way in such a short amount of time.

Let's hope we can do ourselves justice.

Wandering to Titles - Champions League Dream Start (September) Episode 16

 

[Extra Time FM]

After a successful month of fixtures in September, I wanted to take that momentum and fire it down the throats of our next opponents.

Consistency is key in football and we have to grind out matches if we are to move up the footballing ladder.

Wandering to Titles - Consistency is Key (October) Episode 17

What do you think our league position goal should be this year, given we are trying to give the Champions League a go?

 

[Extra Time FM]

A short but sweet month again for November. All winnable games in my eyes and we could create some real momentum before the festive period if we do so.

Wandering to Titles - Growing in Confidence (November) Episode 18

As a side note, I hope everyone has had a great festive period with friends and family. Wandering to Titles should be back on track now.

 

[Extra Time FM]

Such a busy month in December. I hope the players are ready. We need to be mindful of not over exerting ourselves when it isn't needed.

Game management is key this month to avoid injuries. We have plenty of league games to move us up the table.

Wandering to Titles - Winter is Coming (December) Episode 19

 

[Extra Time FM]

January rolls round. A busy month for fixtures and transfers. We have aims to close the gap on the top 4 spot while trying to keep hold of our star players.

Wandering to Titles - Is Top 4 a Step Too Far? (January) Episode 20

Thanks for reading.

 

[Extra Time FM]

With the January window shut, we can finally play without fear of any bids coming in for our star players.

We face teams in the league we should be taking points from. Every single one. That's the aim.

The Champions League also returns after a month and a half wait since we topped the group stage. Valencia is the team before us.

Wandering to Titles - Formation Change & Clean Sheets (February) Episode 21

 

[Extra Time FM]

The story continues as we try to progress in the Champions League knockout stages. The stage is set for an historic month for Wolves.

Wandering to Titles - Are We a 'Big Team' Now? (March) Episode 22

 

[Extra Time FM]

A triple header against Liverpool this month! Two of those games are Champions League Quarter Final fixtures, an historic month for Wolves.

Everything is against us, but can we pull off an upset?

Wandering to Titles - Liverpool Triple Header (April) Episode 23

 

[Extra Time FM]

We head into the title month of the season.

Liverpool on course for a 2nd consecutive title, while we chase last years point total.

An historic year for us as we played in the Champions League for the first time. I cannot wait to get our 3rd season underway.
