The challenge is famous now so no need for a big build up write up.

I've done it on FM13 and FM15 but was waiting for the final patch to begin it on FM16. Playing FMT and using instant result and (mostly) quick pick team selection I'll be hoping to do this asap then move onto to new challenges, all on the same save like I did on FM13 which I stay play - into year 2130-something.

Never even heard of them to be honest. Rock bottom of the second division is as far away from Champions League glory as we can be but I must start somewhere.

The club had one full back and two centre halves! Any wonder they find themselves at the foot of the table.. so I had a mad scramble to get some defenders in before the transfer deadline.

The immediate goal at Baroka was to get them off the foot of the table and we done that fairly quickly and secured our place in the division with a few games to spare​
 
Season 1

Avoiding relegation was our first target after taking over in January with the club adrift at the bottom of the league.

Well, we did that and then some!

I didn't want the season to end! We will look to strengthen the squad over the summer and hopefully look to mount a promotion challenge with luck.​
 
Season 2

£700,000 in debt meant we had to scour the free transfer market for new recruits. We managed to get some better players in and considering our end of season form perhaps a promotion push is indeed a realistic target.

Our early season results show that could well be the case..

The form hasn't went unnoticed either as I'm beginning to be linked with bigger jobs. We'll see if any offers materialise.

Our early form saw us set the pace and we never let the foot off the gas for the rest of the season as we ran out comfortable First division champions.

A first title as manager but one of many if I am to complete this challenge.

Such was our form that we made it all the way to the SA Cup final. However the gulf in class between ourselves and the top flight side was apparent throughout.

The job offers are starting to come in but I will aim to see out the season as we look like mounting a surprising title challenge.

I will have to find a bigger club soon though as we are over £1.5m in debt so the long term future doesn't look bright at Baroka.​
 
Unfortunately we hit a bit of patchy form just as the season reached its climax. As a result we crashed out of the cup at the semi final stage and our unexpected title challenge ran out of steam.

However we couldn't really have expected much better from our first season in the top flight.

Our debt was written off following a board takeover, though we won't be given any extra funds. Consequently I will begin to look at any job vacancies from the more established South African clubs.​
 
Following on from our cup success we once again are the early pace setters in the league. Can we hold on is the question?

I've been looking out for job vacancies and was rejected by Sundowns. However the finances are ever-improving so maybe I won't have to leave Baroka after all.

Cheers mate. I use instant result and usually holiday in between matches. Playing FMT and don't see any difference between instant result and playing matches myself (except maybe when we get red cards)
