What would you do if you had all the money? As a football fan, go around the world and watch the best football matches!

That's what this career is about, playing Football Manager 2018 as a fan, going around different stadiums, watching the most exciting games and following the top 6 leagues:

  • English Premier League
  • French Ligue 1
  • German Bundesliga
  • Italian Serie A TIM
  • Portuguese Primeira Liga NOS
  • Spanish La Liga
View attachment 76291

I'll be attending the most important games for these Leagues, UEFA Champions League and all the finals for Super Cups, League Cups and International competitions.

The goal is to follow the clubs and players evolution, and at the same time report on the best new players and general game progress. A bit more of details about the game setup:

Feel free to leave questions about your favourite football club, and players, and I might watch one of their matches!

Enjoy!

2017-18 #1 Best young players & AS Monaco vs Paris Saint-Germain & Dortmund vs Bayern
thumbnail.png

This is the first update to my fun journey, and it goes from 2017-06-12 to 2017-08-05, including:


  • 2017-06-12 Best young players
  • 2017-06-13 Countries overview
  • 2017-07-22 June world transfers
  • 2017-07-29 17-18 Trophée des Champions - Final, AS Monaco vs Paris Saint-Germain
  • 2017-08-01 July transfers
  • 2017-08-01 Leagues season preview
  • 2017-08-05 17-18 DFL-Supercup - Final, Dortmund vs Bayern

Even though the goal of this career is to track and report on new players, I've listed a number or relatively inexpensive young players that I decided I will follow through the game - that way we can evaluate if they are good acquisitions.
Apart from the best young players, there's a quick overview of the 6 countries loaded, June and July transfers and the main leagues season preview.
The football show starts with the first 2 games of the season that got me to travel to Morocco and Germany: the French and German super cups - with some surprising results imho! Enjoy!

Looking at the schedule ahead, I won't be able to make it to all the super cup finals, as some are played at the same time. On the next update I'm going to travel to London and Monaco, keep tuned!

Feel free to ask any questions and make suggestions.
