    Had a save where i took over Queen's Park in Scotland, oldest team in Scotland. Started halfway through the season, got relegated, stuck with them. Sold any players that had value and brought in a shitload of veterans on free transfers and massively upped the scouting budget and WAY overpaid for a very good head of scouting.
    Got promited to the 2nd tier again, got back to back promotions, another relegation, another promotion and finally after another 3 years won the double in Scotland. All the while mostly bringing in free transfers and scouting youth talents. Proud to say 5 of my players i brought in on free's ended up retiring and joining my coaching staff.

Cue injury crisis so I was forced to play him. Absolute machine who cemented his place in the team. Key technicals and mentals for a midfielder were 2-3 lower than everyone else but he dominated physically, bullying his way past people and winning every duel. Legend and I've just remembered his name - Drissa Traore.

    I recently started a save in Tier 10 with Wakefield AFC(FM 23), mainly due to the stadium size that can go all the way to the Prem without needing to be upgraded. Never did this next part before, but edited all the youth stuff up to 20. Junior coaching and youth recruitment dropped throughout the year, but holy crap the kids it produced. 3 came out at National League level(2 strikers, 1 RB), 2 came out at VN N/S level(1 MC, 1 DM/MC), and I was in Tier 10. The rest were at Step 3-4. Second season I got an MC at National League level. I've been able to sign the ones I want from the first crop to longer term deals(2 years with 2 year options), so yeah, will be a nice climb.
    31-3-0 so far in Tier 9. As soon as season ticked over I had odds to win my Tier 9 league at 1-something.

    I love these saves and these stories. In my current FM15 save (yes, I still play an almost 10 year old game...) I resigned from my AC Milan job to take over my childhood club that was their 2nd season in 3rd division. They barely managed to stay in, so they looked for another manager that could keep them up with more security. I instantly jumped on the job because my team usually plays in a non-playable league and this was only the 2nd save I've seen them for longer than 1 season in a playable league. In my 2nd season with them I brought in a striker that had a 2 star rating, but I believed he could be important for me. In his 2nd season with me he became top scorer of the league with 26 goals in 37 games. the season after we won 3rd division and he scored 25 goals. In his 2nd season in 2nd division he became top scorer with 28 goals in 33 games and we became champions. In his first 2 seasons in 1st division he was terrible, 6 goals in 38 games. In the 3rd season my main striker left and I didn't have resources to bring a new one in. So it was his time to shine again... Top scorer in the highest division with 23 goals in 40 games (despite us finishing dead last in the league. But we managed to stay in the league because of the playoffs). So he became top scorer in 3rd, 2nd and 1st division. Now he's DOF at a smaller team, and I'm waiting for him to gain attributes so he can be reunited again with us

    The third save is typically how my long term save winds up, though usually 25+ seasons in. I don't play in England at all but I've done that with even low tier countries like IK Sirius (Sweden) as well as major countries like Malaga (Spain) (FM22), Schalke (Germany) and Waterford (Republic of Ireland) (FM23) and I'm starting on that path now with Almere City in the Netherlands. Smaller countries delay the ascension (which is why I don't play in England. Too easy) because you have to build club reputation and league prestige, largely singlehandedly. That fourth save is reminiscent of the Herschel Walker trade.

    Having always been a console gamer, FM never really caught my attention until, out of boredom during quarantine, I decided to download it. I remember really enjoying it, but for one reason or another, I went back to FIFA and eFootball. Given the decline of these two franchises and the lack of optimism about the upcoming alternatives, I turned to FM24. This game is giving me so much satisfaction. God bless FM, a game from which Konami, EA (and maybe 2K) have a lot to learn. It's so beautiful and realistic despite the PSOne-like graphics engine. And then there's the possibility of modding it, adding real faces to regens, especially now with the arrival of AI, we can create them exactly as we want.

    I recently finished up a save and wanted to have a look at the PA and CA of my players. Editor was disabled so I got FMGenie and sorted by PA. It turns out, during a transfer window in the MLS, I signed 5 players who all ended up in the top 10 highest CA players in the world. One of the players I bought in that window had 200 PA, and actually wasn't the only 200 PA player in the save either.

    One great piece of business for me was in my current save (FM22). 31st of Jan 2028, forced to sell my star striker to Bayern for £50m. I had no one lined up so had to search for a replacement quickly. Found a disgruntled striker in Dortmund for £12m. He was a beast, helping us to win everything and getting all the individual accolades. I left the club after winning everything (took 8 years) and the club immediately sold him to Utd for £183m. Not a bad pick-up.

      I'm currently working on the most insane transfers Ive ever done in FM going all the way back to playing CM as a kid. I bought 2 22 year olds, 1 from Spurs, 1 from Arsenal. Both cost me less than 20k, yes £20,000. They both had around 100 CA and over 180 PA but clearly weren't fulfilling their potential as they were being sold for literally nothing, I figured "what the hell?" and bought them. I've been playing them in the u21's squad and giving them games in the first team whenever possible, I have by far the best coaching staff in the Prem, and already within 3 months of buying them their CA's are both going up quickly and they've gone from being worth 17k and 13k respectively to around 3 mil a piece. They're also both averaging over 7.1 rating for the season in the Prem lol
      If I can get them to anything close to their PA by the time they are 27, I'm going to make a fortune on them.

    That Hull save was definitely heavily edited. That kind of success is crazy. Although achievable, the players highlighted weren't THAT good. There's no plug-and-play tactic that would dominate everything every year. Strong doubts on that one. The second one with the created club also had some shenanigans I reckon.

      Done it multiple times over the years without the editor or anything. At a certain point you build a team that is not only basically 2 world class players in every position but your dynamics/morale/team cohesion/leadership is so maxed out the AI just can't really compete. Basically wonderkid shop every season, loan lots out like he did, flip the ones not destined for the first team for profit, which then allows you to basically go out and buy £200-300 million players to improve your team, if you obviously go for ones in their early 20s, and all the other wonderkids you collect you will have a team of world stars.

    What I would like to know about the Hull City save is how he maintain the players with that level happy on loan, and prevent other teams to buy them and they getting angry because you reject the offers:
    Also I wouldn't give a 10 to the American Samoa guy, the game let you go up in the ladder pretty easy if you do well. All my saves are like that, I start with an almost unknown team from a lower league in a not so traditional football country and at some point I get to pick to which of the 5 top leagues and teams I want to go.

      I'm not saying they didn't but besides the fact that u in my personal opinion shouldn't show it of on yt or Reddit etc if they did. But i really don't understand why it bothers people. It's a single player game, it shouldn't matter.

    These comments just piss me off. Everyone is just blindly accusing people who have success of using the editor (which some of them didn’t even have it enabled), but even if they did, so? Like let people enjoy the game. If you win 10 straight prems, no matter how much you use the editor, it’s an insanely impressive achievement and you should be able to show it off. So basically, just let people enjoy the game. In a single player game there’s no such thing as ‘cheating’. Tldr: don’t just say anyone who does something impressive or something you couldn’t do is using the editor/save scumming, and even if they did, so? It’s a SINGLE PLAYER GAME

  • @EstariaValens
    @EstariaValens 6 месяцев назад +1

    Hey! Tarmon Valens here. Sorry about the lack of context in my save. I honestly didn't expect you to pick my save. But here's the rundown of the Black Knights.
    The Black Knights were an old football team, I was on in my youth. So I always do a create-a-team, to help me connect with the save during the first years. I honestly don't remember which team I replaced. The unfortunate thing is that days before the call went out for saves, I had deleted my 23-24 long save; so I had to send in an old backup from 4 years before the end of the save.
    So that was mostly my final team. I added a few more lads in later seasons, but those were the starters for the rest of the save. Timm became the star player at CAM. After the save ended, I checked, and he had a CA of 176 with a PA, he wouldn't quite reach, of 187. Laureno, the keeper, ended up reaching his potential of 180; and won the golden glove the next 4 years. I ended up selling Vargas for $120 mil. Packzowski became a dominating force on the left, dropping 25+ assists each of the next 4 years. Rio became the fastest striker on the planet, in that universe, scoring 20+ goals a year (a bit mundane, but I focused on getting goals from everywhere, rather than just from striker). Pitcher and Coelho contributed 15+ goals from the right side each of the next 4 years, peaking in the second-to last season with over 20 goals apiece. Hill remained the stabilizing force in the team, but never really stood out. Nejmi I sold for $110 mil or so. I ended up not selling Ewert, and he locked down the left side for the rest of the save.
    The team finished 2nd the year you saw, and 1st, 2nd, 1st, 1st the remaining 4 seasons. The 2nd to last season, we got an invincible season in the prem; and the last season, we completed a sweep of trophies - Carabao, FA, Community Shield, UCL, and Prem (we technically won the Club WC that year too, but the final was after the calendar flipped to the next season). In each of the 4 seasons, we got 10+ goals from 6 players or more each season, with the best year being the invincible season where we had 4 people get 20+ goals!

Third year is a third of the way through in a playoff position. Striker is a solid young loan player but struggling but the rest of the team is pulling the slack with my one winger stepping up while my back line is playing solid defense. Hope to promote soon as I picked up some players that I can sell for good money soon along with another player who has a 50% profit of sell that should move soon to give us a windfall of money. It is more committed playing from a bottom league to work up the ladder.
