This will be the FM version of Catch Me If You Can, with the wizened Tom Hanks chasing Kev across continents as he single handly bankrupts every team in the world.
@@Rusticles181 Chiefs should count as both a Gauteng and KZN team because why do we have 2 Home Stadiums 😂, but then again we're not so good these days.
Pentagon is the best challenge! I started a non league to legend save, inspired by yours and converted it into a non league to Pentagon hybrid. Chester and Bradford to build my licences. Kashiwa Reysol for Asia, the hardest in my opinion due to Saudi billions. Africa with SuperSport. North America with Monterrey, Latin America with Sao Paulo, Europe with Barcelona who hadn't won it since 2015! Now adding a euro glory hunter on to the same save.
aw man I'd love to see this as a whole series (I'm aware "nobody" watches non-english league system saves, and there's not enough time before FM25. Just saying I'd love it)
Great effort 👏🏻I am currently doing this challenge and am in my third season with Magesi in SA. Got them to the prem and won the cup so hoping to make champions league next season 👍
Good video, well edited, done with a wit! And result-wise it was also great. Did Pentagon challenge myself this year, for the first time ever, but started in Mexico out of all places. Then moved to Japan and South Africa followed. Argentina was the 4th spot and Arsenal turned out to be the end of the story. So I really look forward to your history here Kev! PS. Had Bartman in my team, which was SuperSport. Great asset for this level.
I'm still mad that someone bought Ajax Cape Town and turned them into ct spurs after they got relegated, the only team I supported locally :/. that dutch affiliate was huge for us even for someone like steven pienaar
I would have a really hard time not applying to that Club America job in Mexico. I know it would be seen as far above where you were but still worth a shot!
I'm going to be doing my own version of this challenge but with only low tier footballing countries, so no countries you would expect to win Champions Leagues, my focus in Asia will probably be Bhutan(I'm going to create a semi realistic Bhutan database), but I'm also going to include Oceania because that one to me will be an interesting addition to the challenge.
Make it actually hard by making sure you only win the European Champions league with the lowest possible league at that point. Already done this with Latvia and Wales previously, takes about 30-35 years usually.
I would love to see a full series of the pentagon challenge, like the NLTL series, on FM25. Not this speedy highlight version of it. But good luck. My guess is 22 seasons ;)
I don’t think enough people would be interested in watching it in that style. By this point, we’d probably be about 60-70 episodes in and there still hasn’t been a player that people have heard of, or a league they recognise. It works well for this style of video, but usually anything other than one of the top 3-4 European leagues really struggles for views on a let’s play.
11 Seasons for Kev to complete the challenge. It isn't that difficult (though it is good fun) and knowing that Kev is among the best FM players I have faith that less than a dozen seasons is more than enough time.
I'm currently on with this challenge my first job was in Indonesia at Persija Jakarta won the league threre then moved to La Serena in Chile but got relegated, the next season i brought them back as champions but then left for the Tokyo Verdy job won the league the emperor cup and the league cup at verdy then moved on to Tigres in mexico where i won the league and concacaf champions league after i was poached by Corinthians ive just won the copa libertadores and finished 2nd in league i will stay here until im poached by a club in europe
so weird. i'm at the end of my pentagon challenge trying to finish off the job with Valencia. But I also started off at Milford and then won the African CL with Kaiser Chiefs. From there I went to Jubilo Iwata and it took a while to develop a team but eventually won the Asian CL in the 3rd season
Crazy that you're posting this just as I've lost the African champions league final🤣Been doing this challenge a while, started in the 3rd division of Vietnam and took 11/12 seasons to finally win the Asian CL with Al-Sadd in Qatar, now been managing Wydad Casablanca in Morocco and just lost my first African CL final to Al-Ahly in my second season, hopefully next season goes better😅
No, I don’t think a save like this would work as a longer series - it would need to be 100s of episodes long, in weird leagues that people wouldn’t be able to relate to. It would completely bomb!
Thanks for this Kev. Planning to start my own Pentagon Challenge off the back of this. Can I ask you (and others) whether it's better to start with all leagues loaded or to start with one/two continents' leagues loaded (Africa, Asia, N America) and then add leagues from the other continents and remove existing leagues as I go throughout the save. Which is best for the smooth running of the game? Thanks in advance
I have 3 continents loaded at a time - the one I'm playing in and the likely next two. Then when I moved, I delete the one I'm leaving and in the next one.
Hi kev. Can you explain what you mean by the trophies ticking over? I didn't realise that was a thing but i think maybe that's why I'm bugged out at 3 star reputation in my journeyman. Thanks!
If you just quit immediately sometimes you don’t get the reputation boost from winning a trophy. You need to at least wait until your team is shown as current holders, which isn’t always immediate
It's amazing what you can do in FM when you've been playing for years and really understand the game. I've gotten so bored with starting at tier 11 of England for the least 10 years and working my way up that I've finally started playing other regions for more of a challenge, not sure I'm quite up to starting without any badges yet but I think that might be my first Fm25 save.
So where do you think we should go next? Part 2 out next Monday!
Japan or South Korea.
Australia
Japan
Japan!
Japan🇯🇵

15 seasons when Baartman retires after going to every club you join on the way to the pentagon
This
Having just finished the hexagon (i added new zealand to do oceania) so cool to see kev do it now
OFC is always forgotten
X2
Love this series! I'm invested! I now wished this was a longer series instead of a once a week highlights.
Love this style of video. Really looking forward to the rest of this series! Also the editing on this video is absolutely top notch
Baartman is the perfect player for you. His name translates to Beardman 😂
There is a South African cricketer with the last name Baartman.
As a South African subscriber to this channel, this challenge couldn't have started better for me 🎉
You're from the Western Cape aren't you 🙂
@@Sapphire_Stallion hahaha nah, from Durban
@@Rusticles181 I have to say there's not many decent football teams in Durban, in the whole province really 😂. I'm from Pretoria
@@Sapphire_Stallion we literally have Maritzburg United 🤣 we're a bit short down here... Definitely more options your side!

what a coincedence. i started doing a pentagon challenge, like 2 weeks ago. and i also started at milford. mike gumede was my key man there ;D

10:50 I raise you my Burnley's 2000-1 odd in our second season in the prem.
Wicked video as always!
Definitely south Korea. So much talent out there
I just watched FMtom do this. Good luck sir.
I would have a really hard time not applying to that Club America job in Mexico. I know it would be seen as far above where you were but still worth a shot!
For Europe, I challenge you to start in Romania, with some pretty solid eastern european football. A bit of an unpolished gem.
MN United needs you. Would be the closest to a championship a Minnesota sports fan has seen since 1991.

Nice to see an FM youtuber go to South Africa and use the club i played for in Cape Town Spurs [best youth academy in South Africa]
There's loads that have gone to South Africa 🤷♂️

@@lollujo Youre probably right. My view wont do it but I would watch the entire series alongside my own pentagon challenge in FM 25 😁
As a Cape Town Spurs fan, thank you!

When you get to Concacaf I'd love to see you at Portland.
Leave it to Kev to diss Spurs twice in one video 😂🤣
Great video Kev, looking forward to the next 👍🏼
KEV, PLEASE, also include the champions league in Oceania, like I’m begging you, no RUclipsr does it🥲
Because it’s not part of the challenge…
@@lollujo what I mean is do the hexagon challenge, WHY DOES EVERYONE DO PENTAGON.
I'm currently on with this challenge my first job was in Indonesia at Persija Jakarta won the league threre then moved to La Serena in Chile but got relegated, the next season i brought them back as champions but then left for the Tokyo Verdy job won the league the emperor cup and the league cup at verdy then moved on to Tigres in mexico where i won the league and concacaf champions league after i was poached by Corinthians ive just won the copa libertadores and finished 2nd in league i will stay here until im poached by a club in europe
Would love to see you do this as your twitch series on FM25
Loved seeing you in South Africa and trying to pronounce our names
Think music would add to these type of videos. Not sure what type mind 😂. Got me back watching Kev. Couldn't get into Wembley
Could have swore this was once "a series I would never do" from Kev...
Then people stopped watching let’s plays and forced me into it…
@@lollujoneeds must 👍
Every year that’s the first save I do, a lot of fun.
Hey Kev, really excited for this! Do you have a favourite team in Asia?
I don't think I could name a team in Asia. Apart from the one Gary Linekar used to play for in Japan.
Omega luke did this its really gd thing 2 do in fm specially if u board
Having a chilled evening in the pub watching the video and the comment about Cape Town spurs made me spill my pint over myself 😂
Quality vid Kev
Now this is the sort of challenge I like to see!
so weird. i'm at the end of my pentagon challenge trying to finish off the job with Valencia. But I also started off at Milford and then won the African CL with Kaiser Chiefs. From there I went to Jubilo Iwata and it took a while to develop a team but eventually won the Asian CL in the 3rd season

J-League next, win it before jack!
Thought you claimed these were challenges were silly 😂
Glad TomFM has made you see sense.
I'll always prefer longer form content, but I also really love money.
Hahaha love it. Enjoying it already.
I'm going to like this series
The hardest part of the pentagon challenge is loading enough leagues to do it while not having your PC spontaneously combust
Starting an early campaign for you to only consider this challenge completed after you’ve won all five champions leagues plus the club World Cup
Calling it now he joins monterrey and wydad Casablanca at some point
That's a very specific prediction!
he hasn't downloaded external league packs so South Africa is his only African league playable lol
Wouldn't be much point in going to Wydad now that Africa is done
There is an even harder version of this challenge and that is to win all 5 trophies with teams from countries that have never won it.
Hi Kev this is awesome any chance you would do a longer series of it on FM 25 like u do with other series
No, I don’t think a save like this would work as a longer series - it would need to be 100s of episodes long, in weird leagues that people wouldn’t be able to relate to. It would completely bomb!
Ah yea Cape Town Spurs, the former Ajax Cape Town.
Looking forward to the rest Vin!
Love this and any time you can rubbish Spurs makes it even better. 😂👌🏻
Hi guys looking at buying FM24 Is it still worth it with it being late in the year? Thank you love the content ❤️

@@lollujo thanks for this Mr Chapman 😊👍
I wonder if we will be able to do this but with the women teams in fm25. If we can doing both a mens and womens pentagon challange would be nuts.
are these games played or simulated by holiday?
Hong Kong rangers would be interesting kev
"Do the Baartman"... ;)
Commenting for the algorithm
You can always tell a Milford man
Would love to see you manage in Japan
31.5 sesons. lets go
Literally Tom FM did the same thing started in Africa and won the challenge. Imagine Kev managing in Africa ,asia ,Oceania.
Oceania isn't in the Pentagon challenge, so at least I get to avoid that one...
@@lollujo can't you manage wellington phoenix who play in the A league and qualify for the AFC champions league the club is from new zealand
Colour me intrigued
16:55 Hey, Spurs finally added a trophy into their cabinet!
Oh wait, wrong Spurs.
Are you doing fa cup thingy again
What about OFC Champions League? 🤔
I like this video
awesome
try persib at the indonesian league
It worked horrible for Milford, they are in financial debt and bankrupt. But at least they didn't pay for your coaching badge..
Got to be 12 seasons I reckon
Very enjoyable format, Kev!
Awesome video Kev enjoyed that

@@lollujo that's good to know... and incredibly frustrating!!!!
thanks!
15 seasons!
Nice
also Australian teams playing in Asia champions league
12 seasons I'm going for
I think it will be 17 seasons
Start with Ireland or Wales....
lets go kev!!😄
I have a feeling the next job will be in Japan
ohhh now this will be amazing
I've had a wonderful save at Shimizu S-Pulse, praying Kev goes there too

Harder than getting Wembley FC to the Premier League? Not so sure.. 😉
12 seasons
Ah yes Cape Town Spurs, formerly known as Ajax Cape Town
Where do you think my first club will be?
If you have Turkmenistan loaded, Turkmenistan!
prob in Africa
Brilliant series idea! Keep up the great content Kev! Thanks
20 seasons
Pretty cool one, excited for next Monday
12-14 seasons
Love this content Kev. Nice little breakup of the normal daily stuff. Top work!
This is fantastic, Kev. I really enjoyed this format and content.
