Brilliant so far mate, would be brilliant to see you do it this season!
 
Never mind the 3 seasons lets go for 1 :P

Hahaha Toddzy spoken like a true fan HUH HUH HUH good couple of games and were Champions elect :) ... You'll have me sacked by the end of season.

I have noticed something with one of my players though ... Stat wise

View attachment 267189

Ross I brought in as a possible left wing back, he seems to have the stats for it BUT after a few weeks I noticed all his power stats are sent for a Centre Back, so have set his training in a new position, even played him for 3 games as my Left CB and well you'll see the results in the next up date for November he Played the role against Hull, Rochdale and then Birmingham however got injured in the last 15 minutes of the Birmingham game.

 
Sky Bet Championship November

A Great November leaves me a little flabbergasted were actually playing reasonable well, letting in goals is still a problem however we do manage out 1st clean sheet of the season. I try out a player in a new position which seemed to work well until he got injured the numpty.

Fixtures

Brentford 1 - 1 FC United
Lussey

FC United 6 - 1 Hull
Samuel
Trinkett-Smith (2)
Helander
Armstrong
Lussey

Home and tick tick boom Hull come up a FC team finally in form, I move Ross into a CB roll push Williams from defence into a Anchor Man roll in front of the back 4 see if we can sure up a leaking defence a little.

FC United 3 - 0 Rochdale
Trinkett-Smith
Armstrong
Lussey

Rochdale ouch they were poor, I suggest they might be finding a route down into the Sky Bet League 1 at this rate. Us well we might make those play-offs

Birmingham 1 - 1 FC United
Samuel

We were 1 nil up into the last 15 minutes Ross pulls up with a thigh strain he'll miss the next game frustrating.

2nd over a third of the season gone phew. Ok I feel there is a chance here if we can consolidate in the winter months for us to have a real chance of the play-offs. I honestly cant see us beating Newcastle they are just 2 strong. I dont see them losing enough games. Coventry & Rochdale both look in trouble at the bottom.

The downside money wise we are really struggling already suffering nearly a million in the red. No chance of bringing in anyone in the January so the squad is the squad
 
A true fan indeed amigo! Strange to see your GA record in comparison to WBA.

Although if you keep winning what does that matter?

Your regen looks fantastic. Probably because he's Scottish...
 
This is truely fantastic so far! I have started my long journey up with my local team Stourbridge. I have just got to the conference. I was wondering if you would be uploading your tactic? I would love to give

Hahaha thanks well Scotland always produces the occasional talent, and I know I cant figure out why the goals keep flying in possibility its JUST maybe my Defenders aren't quite good enough
 
April

We lose a game in April BUT its because I'm trying out new players and WHY, cause "We are top of the league I say we are top of the league" Champions WEEP ticker tape parade and all open top bus ride isnt likely BUT what do I care the boys played well and in the way I certain Premiership Manager talks "
I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies."


Fixtures

FC United 2 - 0 Frickley
Stott
Ambalu

It was the game we wanted it was the game we played, 2 Nil up after 15 minutes Frickley just were never in it and we were Champions, My brain was already working before the final whistle on area's I wanted to strengthen for next season and looking at the bench I needed to give those players some game minutes.

Matlock 1 - 0 FC United

SO we'd won the league 2 days later we played again I made 7 changes, however most of them hadnt kicked a ball in anger in a month, we dominated the game in front of goal but couldnt get a break through. Matlock scored early in the 2nd half and we played out time.

FC United 4 - 2 Marine

Ambalu
Cham (2)
Capitani

FC United 3 - 0 Stourbridge
Stott
Brownhill
Ambalu


May

Last 2 games of the season were played at the start of May, so I tagged them into the story here, I looked around the market only one of my targets, gave me a hint he might sign so we jumped in doubling my highest salary from £350 to £700 to secure his services. I'm going to look at bringing in a couple of Defenders I wasnt happy about the 2 Centre Halfs all season and it was the position I played with the most. I'll also need a strong midfielder as Zazrivec's loan is due to expire and I'm not sure he'll be strong enough next season.

Fixtures

Belper 3 - 4 FC United
Moult
Ambalu (2)
Grace


Skelmersdale 2 - 4 FC United
Ambalu
Cham
Wolfenden
Zazrivec

So 1st season Champions 100+ goals and points, worrying 7 defeats so that needs to improve next season.

View attachment 841539
Godden is a young upcoming striker at Ebbsfleet, Vandarama South Champions this season he's managed to play in about half of there winning games scoring 8 in 15 games, so I was happy when after a brief phone conversation the club allowed me to talk to the player, Matt was initially skeptical of the move but after assuring him I'd tracked his progress most of the season and wanted him to lead my promotional charge next season we agreed a £25K fee to bring Matt to the side for 2 seasons in the progress making him my highest paid player.



nice information

Hey Mouldy, I actually use a tactic already loaded by someone else

Best FM 2015 Tactics: Tinkerman's Goalscoring Strikerforce

Having said that its really good for the premier league BUT average for lower levels, you need to move the strikers around a little as you'll struggle to find players able to do the False Nine rolls lower down. But with a few minor tweaks it works ok. I usually play the 1st couple of seasons as structured as again lower league players dont always have the tech skills to be over fluid. Additionally I usually fiddle with the Get Stuck in or Stay on your feet and Higher Tempo only because if you are diving in all the time in conference league lots of players will spend time out from red cards

Hope that helps a little
 
Don't want to p*ss on your chips but that regen isn't even 5"6. No way he will develop into a top centre half. Possibly a Makelele type???

Good Luck though. Great read so far

No worries, and no chips P**sing going on :) there is something about the boy we play better and concede less when he's in the position, I shall be working on it later
 
Sky Bet Championship December

Again the snow has arrived but for once we have a great December, 5 games 3 wins 1 draw and a defeat, seriously for us this is a GREAT month. We even get on the TV for a game 1st time this season but I think the boys felt the pressure maybe the manager to as none of us preformed well

Fixtures

Bournemouth 1 - 2 FC United
Lussey
Trinkett-Smith

An away win go figure Strikers have a day when they can't hit a barn door from 5 yrds however both Midfielders whack in 20yarders and we go home happy

FC United 2 - 1 Walsall
Ross
Armstrong

Ross our decent new CB trainee scores his 1st league goal and wins us the game, I'd buy him a beer but not sure he's allowed to drink it yet.

Coventry 1 - 1 FC United
Lussey

Coventry what the **** worse team in the division yet they hold us away, dammit I hold the loss of 2 points here doesn't come back to bit us at the end of the day.

Ipswich 4 - 1 FC United (TV Game)
Samuel

Oh dear not the best LIVE match to get new fans we were dreadful.


FC United 4 - 0 Coventry
Lichaj
Armstrong
Helander
Trinkett-Smith

Time for the Coventry reverse fixture and revenge destroyed them in front out home fans and finish the year off in style

View attachment 266981
So half way through the season and were still nicely sat in 4th good season so far, even though we are now in my normally dodgy zone, I have 3 players topping the Average Ratings but also 3 players in the assists list as goals have been spread across the team

 
Sky Bet Championship January

A Fabulous January pushes almost to the summit in the FA Cup we push the boundaries, winning every game in the month and scoring hat fulls of goals. Suddenly I wonder what this team could do in the Premier League win a game?

Armstong (Pen)
Trinkett-Smith
Pattison (OG)

New month Clean sheet! OMG

Stevenage 1 - 3 FC United FA Cup 3rd Rnd

Reading 5 - 6 FC United
Oneto
C Thomas
Samuel (2)
Lussey
Fortounis (OG)

FC United 2 - 0 Oldham FA Cup Rnd 4
Helander
Neneca


View attachment 266977
Now then here we are end of January, again a month normally I suffer hideously in and yet now i'm just behind the might toon on goal difference, Still have players in the Assists list and Average Ratings but also a goal scorer sneaking into the charts as well.
I dont know if I should be confident or not ECK!!

Oneto (2)
Ross
Armstrong

Leicester 2 - 7 FC United
Oneto (2)
Trinkett-Smith (2)
Neneca (2)
Samuel

Armstrong is injured for this game so Neneca gets his 1st full start in the league and boom finally nets league goals

View attachment 266974
Oneto's amazing month has moved him into the top Scorers league 2nd behind Van the Ham opps, we now have players dominating the Average Ratings and Assists and although we lost 3 games on the bounce in the middle of the month 10 Points from top spot after 34 / 35 games cant be that bad surely. I DO HAVE a chance

Newcastle and Forrest will prove hard to beat though I think if Newcastle didnt draw so many games they'd be over the hill and far away by now. At the bottom I think its just a matter of time before Coventry and Rochdale wave bye bye to this league .. What amazes me at the moment neither had sacked there managers

Lussey
Neneca
Trinkett-Smith

Hull 2 - 1 FC United
Trinkett-Smith

Dammit there it is the 1 defeat of the month. Again I decide to push in a game we were drawing going for the win let them sneak in behind and pitch the game was a silly decision BUT wont be my last

FC United 1 - 1 Millwall
Helander

Again another silly thing, I let 2 many people stack up yellow cards before looking at making substitutions and then get a player sent off and they score from the free kick.



View attachment 266965
So with a couple of silly draws and that defeat, I've let a little gap appear between me and the top 2 Nottingham Forrest are playing like demons at the moment BUT I recon with 6 WINS there's always a chance of me getting something and we have been on 6 winning games before!

And now we have that player in the Scorers Chart, ALL 4 of the Average Ratings and 3 out of top 4 Assists. I can feel the premiership calling its just about managing each game
