Football Manager 2009 Challenge - Lower League Youth
Once, a footballing pundit announced to the world "You can't win anything with kids". That, my friends, is a load of poppycock. You are to prove that in this challenge. Your task it to take control of one of the 6 League Two sides listed below. With tight budgets and small squads, you're informed to boost the size of your squad with quality youth players that will spell out the new future for your club. With this in mind, the board have stated that you can only sign players under the age of 21. None of these are to be loan signings, as they will not contribute to the future success of your club.
The board recognises a problem in their plan, in that signing a new crop of talented youngsters is not easy under the strict financial settings that league two clubs are put under. Therefore, you can sign 5 players. No more, no less. The clubs you can choose to be are:
- Macclesfield Town
- Accrington Stanley
- Barnet
- Chester City
- Morecambe
- Lincoln City
The board of your chosen club will expect sucess over the next few seasons using your youngsters, and is demanding to see these players perform on a regular basis.
Rules
1.) You MUST sign five players under the age of 21 (or including). None of these are to be loan signings.
2.) These five youngsters must play at least 90% of the games that they are available for.
3.) You are to only be in control of one of the 6 teams listed above.
4.) This challenge can be taken from any FM09 update.
5.) Screenshots of your transfers, individual player signings and end of season finishing positions are required.
6.) Screenshots for proof of earning points is required (This may be through a match overview SS, or a News issue SS etc.)
7.) Small Databases, Load all players from Scotland. No FM Editors. Only Official FM Databases to be used!

160 Points will be awarded for winning the League Two title.
125 Points will be awarded for gaining promotion to League One.
