The Pentagon Challenge


​
What is it?

What is The Pentagon? Well its this, you start unemployed with a Sunday League reputation and you try to win all five continental Champions Leagues(European Champions League, South American Champions League, Asian Champions League, African Champions League and North American Champions League) in one save game.

...And Beyond.

Once completed I'll continue this career for the length of FM16 as a journeyman career seeking to complete a variety of other challenges such as:
  • Super Hero Challenge - completing the Hero challenges on Steam (bottom to top divisions)
  • FCUM/Salford - Challenge the Manchester clubs' dominance with one of their minnow neighbours
  • Champions League Challenge - win the UCL with all previous real life winners
  • Hall of Fame Challenge - top the HoF boards in all continents
  • Premier League Challenge - win the EPL with all 47 team to have played in it
  • Back to the Future - break my FM record game time (2156 - FM13)
...and any other that spring to mind.

Good luck mate - Going to be quite the challenge!

I have attempted a save like this in the past but eventually get a bit bored and give up, so hope you can stick it out and complete it. Will be following.

Have completed it on FM13 and FM15 using Instant result most games to prevent the boredom

A slow start but we hit some great form in the run in and managed to sneak promotion as champions!

A great start to the career.

I plan to have at least one full season in charge of each team but in the quest for immediate glory I will always accept any job offers from more bigger/fashionable clubs.​
 
great start. awesome to see vasco go up with you as that's who i started my fm15 journeyman with

2016/17

With promotion last season against the odds I was expecting a very tough first season in the SA top flight
and 4 defeats in our first 5 games seemed to highlight the challenge ahead.

However only three defeats in 2016 saw us steer well clear of the drop zone in what ended up another very successful season.

Still got my eye out for any vacancies at the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Ajax CT or Orlando Pirates.​

Too good an opportunity to turn down. I know from experience that Ajax CT have a top class youth system that will definitely allow me to challenge for the African Champions League very very soon.​

Ajax CT finished 10th last but their squad is much better than the one I had with FC Cape Town and we finished 7th so I was optimistic we could be challenging right at the top of the league.

Halfway through the season and we are doing exactly that!

Hopefully the first of many many trophies and this one will probably be one of the easiest.

It was also the clubs first ever top flight title and we narrowly missed out on a domestic double as we somehow managed to lose a one-sided cup final 2-0.

African Champions League

-- Early Rounds --

We were breezing through the early rounds with a 12-0 agg win over Benfica (GNB) and a 9-1 agg win over Angolan side 1 de Agosto..

Then we met Egypt side Zamalek and we hit a stumbling block with a first leg defeat..​

View attachment 215262

We had it all to do now to salvage our ACL campaign already...

Drama and nerve wrecking stuff already in the champions league. Should be fun to read
 
Never been one for a journeyman story but looking forward to this, good luck!

African Champions League

-- Group Stages --

After sneaking into the group stages with a second leg comeback against Zalamek I wondered it we weren't quite ready for the Champions League.

Our first few group stages games seemed to quash those fears...​

We seemed to be hop, skipping and dancing our way to the semi finals.

However, in my short managerial career so far we never seem to do things the easy way...​

A poor result in our last game would have sent us packing but at last we returned to winning ways!

-- Semi Final --

We drew another Egyptian side, this time Ismaily.

The ACL starts at the end of our domestic seasons and concludes a few games into the new season so we weren't fully up and running fitness wise which was a concern.

-- 1st Leg --​

View attachment 215228

An excellent first leg result leaves us with one foot in the final already

-- 2nd Leg --​

View attachment 215229

Our home form has been superb throughout my two years in charge and it held up once again as we booked a place in the FINAL!!

-- FINAL --


Yet another Egyptian side - Al Ahly.

Powerhouses in Egypt and hold the record for most African Champions League titles as well with 9 so we start as massive underdogs.


-- 1st Leg --​

View attachment 215205

An end to end game so a draw was the fair result. Once again we will rely on our excellent home form to see us through...

We were much the better side and bar some wayward finishing we could have had a much more comfortable finish.

Step One of the Pentagon completed.

Off to Asia.

As I said the Champions League campaign crosses over two season in South Africa.

We walked the 2018/19 league campaign and were well on course to do so again in 2019/20.

However I resigned after the ACL win and am patiently awaiting a good job opportunity in either South Korea or China to begin the Asian part of this adventure...
