Evening, back again for the third year to bring you a new save to experiment with on FM19. I'm a bit late to the new story threads as I've just been getting to grips with the new layout and doing a couple offline saves while I decide who I'll manage on this website. I've decided to go with Paris Saint Germain however while some may think it'll be a stroll with no challenge, I've given myself personal challenges to aim and achieve over the course of my career, so hopefully I can do this long term. I've just started uni a couple months ago so although that may take over my life, I'll try and post on this thread as much as I can in my spare time.
While PSG was only founded in 1970, their investment with billionaire Qatar owners has helped establish their name over the recent years. They really made a name for themselves by bringing in the two most expensive players in the world, Neymar & Kylian Mbappe. I hope to add to their tally of only 7 Ligue 1's, and maybe in the future bring a Champions League medal to the cabinet. As I want to build a 'next generation' for the club, here are my philosophies and challenges over the course of my career.
Philosophies
- Only sign players under the age of 23
- Bring at least 2 youth academy graduates into the squad every season (apart from first)
- Have a higher Income than Expenditure in player signings
- Predominantly have a French squad
Challenges - Short Term
- Win the UEFA Champions League
- Reduce the average age of the squad to 23 or below
- Stable the club's FFP (lol)
Challenges - Long Term
- Have a full French squad of under 23
- Win the Ligue 1 with only homegrown players
- France win the World Cup with at least 11 homegrown PSG players
- Make the manager's Hall of Fame list
May be unrealistic long term challenges, but if I stick to it and commit to the thread it's been done before, not saying it can't happen again. Would also appreciate any comments as to other challenges I can give myself, or of young French prospects that you may know of who I can bring to the club.
