Rags to Riches
From Obscurity to the World Cup
From Obscurity to the World Cup
This is my tenth year of Football Manager. I remember my first game being fm07 on the xbox360, with Bristol city being my team of choice. I never knew that the success brought from players like Carlos Vela, Igor Akinfeev and Micah Richards would snowball in to ten years worth of enjoyment from one game series.
Ten years seems to me like a good foundation for my first attempt at a thread - I only now feel confident that this years save will be interesting for other people and not just myself. I always set challenges each fm, I mainly target lower league sides in England, with fm15 being Plymouth and fm16 being a very difficult youth challenge with Truro City (only allowed to play with players that come from the youth academy). This year I thought I would stray away from that and challenge myself in other leagues.
So here I am, approaching the overused and overcomplicated Pentagon Challenge.
In case any readers didn't know the aim of this challenge I will briefly explain:
The Overall target of the pentagon challenge differs depending on the person, in this instance I am going to be targeting every champions league trophy (Asia, N America, S America, Europe, Africa) as well as every international tournament (Each Continent + World Cup). The trick is, I will start in obscurity, with no coaching badges and no prior playing experience - I will also start unemployed.
This Challenge always sounds impossible, it is a new year however and I am fully up for the task! I will be back shortly with my first post - including my database, manager and initial aims! Please if you are interested or want to give some advice on my first moves in this challenge, drop them below as I really feel help is going to be vital in this stories progression!
Thanks
