Mojo, do you have any tips for LLM in the format you've done? I started a game as Worthing FC but all we've managed to do is make the worst teams in the league look good despite us having some (relatively) reasonable players and being predicted a 3rd place finish. GAHHH!

Did you literally fill out your entire first team with greyed out players when you started?
 
Been a silent reader since the start but this is incredible :D and Can you post a screenshot of your first team squad please and keep it up
 
Hi, I have a question for you. I was wondering if you used the editor to change your 'youth recruitment' level before starting this save? I ask this because even in the first season you got a player with 20 finishing at 16 and Antonio Lunardi with 19 heading, 15 tackling, 17 pace and other ridiculous stats. The chance of getting players this good in your first season with Guernsey's 'limited youth recruitment' (their youth recruitment starts out as 0/20...) is near zero. Also in seasons after you got loads of amazing players even though you only upgraded your 'youth facilities', which doesn't influence youth intake (youth recruitment does, youth facilities influences how they develop). Doesn't anyone else find this suspicious?

Why is there always someone who does this when somebody has a good story the same was said about Klippybo's bilbao story, get over it he knows how to play FM and you dont no need to hate!
 
Knowing how to play =/= getting players capable of playing for their countries respective U19, with a youth recruitment of 0/20, in your first season in the 9th division of England.
 
never ever thought u cheated at any point lol..u have done an amazing job with them and yeah a rich club for that level is an advantage but u have to make it work...ur story should be an inspiration to all
 
If you do decide to end the save, could you upload it here? I would love to continue the honourable history of Guernsey

I ticked the game to fill playable teams with players. I've signed maybe 20 grey players only 1 has been worth anything though. I've found offside trap is suicide in lower leagues. What are your players like for speed? To use a boxing annalogy speed kills!

Once i've updated the next season i'll get that up for you :)
Congratulations on the Champions League!
Thank you
FC Andorra time?
I can't find a database that has them in, and i'm also not sure if they produce Andorran youth. If you know of a database point me in the direction:)

I saw that in Klippybo's aswell. I wouldn't worry about it he is entirley entitled to his opinion.

Like i've already said you can choose to believe me or not. Not all good players come from the prem.

Would you mind uploading it anyway?Would like to see how the game went in such an advanced stage.

If i keep going to it i'll also keep updating this story. The file is also fairly hefty not ure how my rubbish internet is going to handle it! I'll look into it.

Well that save has since been overwritten, I've gone for a change and started with Whyteleafe FC, I have a striker with 12 acceleration and 13 pace, that seems decent for a tier 9 player?! So I'll set him as the target man with instructions to run onto the ball?
 
Congrats on the Champions League :D I definitely second the idea suggested on the last page of a new story with FC Andorra if you can find a database with them in, you could approach it like the San Marino challenge and start with the National team as well!

Yup he sounds quality for level 9. Are you playing with or without wingers?

simonjenks1 has actualy pm'd me a database with them in it, so big thanks to him for that. Although we don't know if they produce Spanish youth yet. Once i get around to it i'll run it until youth intake day to see.
 
Shelving talk of new saves for now, as there is still more to be won with Guernsey.

Such as European player of the year.

The end of the season means another silly offer from Man City, But what's this.....Man Utd have a silly offer aswell.

Here is a SS of Herrera.

I had slowly been re-training him to AMC as we don't use wingers, But 40m for a player sat on the bench was just to good to be true.

We also got this news. Seriously, go away Chelsea!

Friendlies have also gone really well with wins across the board.

Title odds are in. We are 8-1 3rd favourites, we are double champions those odds are silly

We started the season in solid form 7 clean sheets out of 11, 10 league wins from 10 and winning the super cup was brilliant.

This was a bit bad, Might need to tone the tackling down.....

This surprisingly didn't put us top, but we have 2 games in hand, due to the super cup.

The chmpions league has drawn us with one of our feeder teams. They won the league thanks to my youth players. Glad to have them there.

We have been in the last 2 finals and won 1 of them 10-1 is stupid.

I look like playing a 5-4-1 to fit my players which isn't a formation I particularly like but if it gives us some stability and the chance to get forward then it seems worth doing for now. I have two wide midfielders with attacking full-backs too, the only thing is, holding onto this chap seems near impossible, I'm nowhere near being able to afford his wage demands and another team have come in for him. :S

Thats no good, have you tried asking to go semi pro? can't hurt to ask can it.

Whyteleafe are one of two semi-pro teams in the league, and apparently we can't afford to increase the wage budget. He has moved on along with our other senior striker and our best wide midfielder so I'm playing with a team mostly made up of 15 and 16 year olds with good potential, this may be a long hard save!

i had a really young squad when i started, regularly fielding kids and still winning so its more than do-able
