This is a great compliment to the Wembley series. Love the idea of not just immediately quitting when you still have a job just to find one in the other country.
Oh man I love the J League! Glad that's where the series went. Also wouldn't be great if those South African boys could follow us throughout the career.
Great stuff Kev love the style of this series, your story telling is top notch. May i make your move to the next continent can you show us how you add and remove the leagues. As at the start you showed us the initial league setup be interesting how and when you add and remove them too
Loving these Monday videos Kev! I like this condensed format that you are doing to complement the long series like Wembley to Wembley. I know International Football in FM is a bit of a mess but it would be interesting to see if you can win each of the International Continents Tournaments (Euro, Copa, ACoN, Asian Cup) and then a World Cup?
I would love to see you go to MLS. It is a wild ride. Liga MX is also fun with their multi-stage season but MLS never gets shown and it is very different from the rest of the world. I hate it so much lol
Mexico's a good call. Having seen the way you handle finances in other saves, I don't think you'll have much luck under MLS' salary cap rules. If this weren't a speedrun type situation, I'd say go to the CPL and try to win CONCACAF from there - that is both a big challenge and a lot of fun IME - but that will probably take a few more years than you want to spend on one continent. South America is also a fun place to play, and should be relatively quick if you get into one of the big Brazilian or Argentinian clubs.
A word of advice, one of those North American Leagues is not like the others. The Canadian Premier League is the least of those 3 leagues. MLS has 3 Canadian clubs in it; Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. The CPL is to the MLS, what the Irish Top league is to the EPL. I say you go to South America to work on your Spanish, then you can tick off North America (via Mexico) and Europe (via Spain) without ever learning another language! Si Senor Chapman.
No way he actually went to Shimizu S-Pulse, it's what I commeneted I wanted to see on ep1 hahaha this club has been so kind to me in my FM save, can't wait to see what Kev does with it
Man, Kevs budgets were wayyyy higher than mine haha, but it's interesting that we both got some of the same players (despite the massive reliance of regens ofc) at least we both dominated the league quickly, gotta love Shimizu
Gotta go to MLS, I'd love to see you deal with the salary cap and TAM and GAM. If it's South America I hope it's Chile or thereabouts. Get into the whole dynamic of a Pacific club winning the Libertadores, which happens so rarely.
Coindientally you started this not far into my own. I started of at the club named after the supreme leader himself. 'Kimjongun' in the North Korean third division. I'm now towards the end of my second season. Having got Kimgjonun promoted I'm at Al Nasr in UAE Currently slogging it out for the UAE title. If I do not get it I don't mind the sound of trying to win the Asian Confederations cup (their Europea eqivalent).
Honestly I'd stay in Japan until I crushed the Hall of Fame, then move to Mexico - fun place to get players from Brazil and Argentina too! Europe has to be last, and South America just before it.
Canadian Premier League is the worst of the available choices so I would avoid that league outright. MLS rules don't really play nice with the FM AI which means winning there becomes very easy once you get your head around them. This would lead to an easier road to the CONCACAF Champions Cup but a harder time actually winning it. So I would say go to Mexico. Because the somewhat more traditional squadbuilding rules make actually winning the CONCACAF Champions Cup a lot more realistic while also having a bit more traditional (instead of rules based) challenge in the league.
This year's problems will certainly be more difficult. Looking back, I realized that I was so preoccupied with my portfolio that I made bad financial mistakes throughout the previous year. I had to decide between boosting my investments and buying a house. After deciding to sell my investments, I learned that the home I had purchased needed more maintenance than I had anticipated. Trying to figure out how much longer I can tolerate this is becoming more difficult
Invest in companies that provide current cash flows to diversify your portfolio. I hired a planner at the end of 2023 to help me grow my portfolio, and in the last 8 months, I've profited in over 50,000 distinct marketplaces. If 2023 teaches us anything, it's that luck does not endure forever. Even in times of abundance, we should put more effort into preparing for the worst case situation.
How can one locate a reputable financial planner? I wouldn't mind searching the professional who served you. I'll be retiring in two years and may require some assistance managing my considerably larger assets. Don't want to take chances.
I'm going to do a Pentagon challenge combined with Build a Nation somewhat, with a realistic rule for myself basically I cannot go to countries that have anti gay laws, so say any country that criminalizes homosexuality I cannot coach there. It would not make sense for me in real life to do it. I am also including Oceania as a Federation in this one and so my aim is to create a database for Bhutan and basically allow the Bhutanese league to be used as my first league, my aim is to eventually take Bhutanese players to Europe and the way I'm representing that is if I win the Asian Champions Leagues or any Asian tournaments I will actually improve the youth rating of the country and add a bit more money overall to the country thus allowing for that to represent Bhutan actually becoming a decent Footballing nation because I find Dynamic youth rating not very accurate in terms of what it is actually saying.
@@lollujo A. It could just as easily be the Hexagon Challenge B. The point is to win all the Champions Leagues, not doing Oceania because SI won't put in any teams from there seems counter productive
@@williamcross210 I'm from NZ. Whilst it would be cool to give more recognition to oceanic sides, Oceania just sucks, Australia plays in Asia and the gap in ability between NZ (who already suck compared to Australian teams) and the rest of Oceania (e.g. Fiji) is so vast. Poor Oceania is caught between a rock and a hard spot in world football. Australia always won the Oceania champs, before deciding to go to Asia because they were that good. New Zealand now always wins because there is no other team close enough to them, but we never play any other big teams so we can never challenge ourselves and beat bigger international teams on a regular basis and don't have an automatic entry to the WC (they are changing the rules to it). I know that a hexagonal challenge isn't to do with international management but this is to give you an idea why oceania isn't part of the challenge (plus Oceania is always forgotten about! Heck, NZ often is missing from world maps!)
The CPL is way too hard a challenge for this ‘speedrun’ format. The foreign player rules are very restrictive, there is little money, and the domestic talent pool is questionable at best. If you want to do it the easy way, Mexico is your place. If you like a reasonable challenge, try MLS. If you want to string the series out… Central America?

So where next folks? Comment below with you club or league suggestions!
Gotta be MLS just for the bonkers rules there
Go to Europe LAST
Wembley? I can't relate to these players and prefer watching the Wembley save
Mexico.
Mexico
Europe has got to be last. It would be like Thanos getting the mind stone from Vision. That final piece to complete your ultimate rise to power
Shuto Machino is singularly the greatest striker name in the history of Football Manager.
2nd best, is obviously behind Gary Goals but no shame in that.
Saturday Sunday wants a word
Shuto Machino. Best. Name. Ever
This is a great compliment to the Wembley series. Love the idea of not just immediately quitting when you still have a job just to find one in the other country.
South African boys about to be legends of the series
Take Dortley and Baartman with you everywhere you go
I was looking for a comment like this! It's my first thought too lol imagine their collection of trophies and medals at career end lol
Oh man I love the J League! Glad that's where the series went. Also wouldn't be great if those South African boys could follow us throughout the career.
one from each nation
This is great storytelling. Homer would be delighted of Kev in this format.
Great series this. Look forward to Mondays now 🙌
Glad you like them!
This series is the best you’ve ever done kev. I hope it goes well

Genuinely loving this series! It’s great to see some fast paced FM in different countries and continents!

I hate it so much lol

Best series you've done for a while Kev
Would love to see this as a full series!
Great series Kev, I hope its really successful for you
Concacaf...would love it if you could drag my hometown team, Minnesota united, across the line
Portland Timbers please. You'd have your work cut out for you, but the best supporters group in MLS behind you
Very interesting series❤
Those two SA boys finna be stars wherever they go! Keep signing them!😂 ⚽ 🎉
No way he actually went to Shimizu S-Pulse, it's what I commeneted I wanted to see on ep1 hahaha

In the end of this series. Kevin will be able to speak all languages.
Great series

MLS please. As a American I love watching people struggle with the registration rules lol
Very good series
Do the Baartman!
The Mls is awash with money, if you can work out the trading system it's a fun league.
Going to MLS would be fun but I'd rather that be a full RUclips save so we can get more time watching you try and figure out the ridiculous rules.
Surely SA!
Gonna shout out Santos Laguna, whom I used in my pentagon back in 2022!
I hope you can bring the African lads along for as long as possible
MLS, Kev! Bring the CL trophy back to the USA.
Aint no way! Norway won the 2028 Euros? Yohooo! (Except we won't even qualify)
Go to Brazil and learn Portuguese while you're there, then speed run USA and finish off in Portugal.
Coindientally you started this not far into my own.

lovely stuff

Europe has to be last, and South America just before it.
It's not the fact that Okuda is 5'6" that's the problem, and more the fact that he has jumping of 4! 😬
Based on your selection of hats on the other channels. Sporting KC.
As someone who lives in the Halifax area and has gone to Wanderers games - don't do it.
I’m sure we’ve had Shooto before??? Pretty sure he failed somewhere, possibly East Fife??
I don't why but I would you to go nuts in Brazil 😂😂
Please go to Boca Juniors in South America!!!
Has to be MLS next! To Avengers Bourne!!
go MLS, liga MX in pentagon challenge is like playing on easy mode:)
Popcorns out kev
Mexico !
I'm hoping for a Mexican side, because if you end up at FC Dallas I'll be forced to boycott the series. :)
Do you sim you games with vacation or actually go trough them all one by one?
I'd say North America, then South America and finish with Europe
MLS would be cool

Baartman to Mexico?
“Champions League” win 👍
I’m guessing I’m too late. But please go to Minnesota United if that’s an option. Minnesota sports fans don’t get any championships
EXCELLENT series....I would suggest you go to North America then South America and finish in Europe in the strongest competition...Champions League!!
Go to Atlanta United FC if becomes available
Europe, denmark or Italy
Can someone explain to me why OFC is excluded from this challenge? Do they not have a champions league for some reason?
a. a pentagon has 5 sides
b. Australia play in Asia, so there's not much point
@@lollujo A. It could just as easily be the Hexagon Challenge

Gonna be insane when he wins the champions league with spurs
He could any club in Europe it would be wild if he wins the UCL with a team from Gibraltar or another Uefa nation
I did that in my World Record save!
China in the top 3 Asian leagues? 👀
AUSTRALIAS FIRST CONTINENTAL TREBLE WINNERS, CENTRAL COAST MARINERS 💙💛
