I posted this in the general forum area but just seen this sub secion and perhaps it's better suited here.

I have just bought FM2015 having been a longtime player of the FM (Champ) series and am looking for a new challenge. What I have realised is I miss competing with other people. I also realised I was spending more time picking my club to manage than actually playing as I wasn’t particularly motivated towards any team etc
But I realise there is a wealth of interesting challenges out there, for instance I’ve never managed outside of Europe, I just need the right push to do so.
As I play usually on the train to and from work in London and have a (very) young family I cant commit to an online game.
But I’ve come up with an idea (which I’m sure has been done loads of times before) to have a competition against other people to see how we do in when completing the same challenge and awarding points, and therefore a league table based on relative success.
I imagine a Formula 1 style leaders table with each ‘round’ a challenge with pre-determined scoring that each person undertakes.
So as an example – 10 people play, 1st challenge is to play a season as x random team, based on league and cup success we are ranked 1st>10th with points based on position and there we have our first league table. We move onto the 2nd challenge etc
It’s not rocket science but think it would be good fun.
In terms of timing, I think keeping most challenges to a season or two and having perhaps 2/3 weeks to complete before we tally scores would be sufficient?
Who’s keen? I guess if we get some people keen we can start soon
