Into The Game...

By Luke - The Football Manager Addicts and Luke's Stories of An FM Addict

 
On both FMA and LSOFMA we sent out a post asking for our liker's to get involved with a new venture of ours - Into The Game - and here it is!
 
We have made two variation's for this database as one is meant for a blog; the other a challenge for you guy's...
 
The idea of into the game is that you got in touch with your player details; they are entered into a team and we can see who will reign supreme and who will be the Tom Cleverly!
 

Wales - The Blog...

 
Our blogging series sees your players entered into the Welsh league! The re-named FMA Premier League features twelve teams with impeccable facilities and a huge transfer embargo - we didn't say it was going to be easy!
 
Can you lead your team (or someone elses) to supremacy?
 

Skrill- The Challenge!

 
Our newest challenge database sees the same twelve team's entered into the Skrill Premiership (England's sixth division). With outstanding facilities you should be blessed by incredible youth and few injuries but your Achilles Heal returns: again you're placed under a transfer embargo!
 
You have a highly skilled squad but with no professional experience it will be an uphill battle to reach the promised land of the Barclay's Premier League!
 

The Link's...

 
You can download both databases below...

Wales - https://www.mediafire.com/?d86qrwz0ssetwfi

Skrill - https://www.mediafire.com/?fc68hmmcdnleecn

We had a slight issue when uploading so you'll have to load the above as a save! Put it into Documents - Sports Interactive - Football Manager 2014 - Games. Load it up and then your good to go!

Before I go. If you want to keep up to date with all things AYO, FM Lord Chris and me: go and like or subscirbe to our other ventures!

Manchester City - Race Against Time...

By Luke - The Football Manager Addicts and Luke's Stories of An FM Addict

 
Hi guys, welcome to my first ever challenge database! Today I'm going to be running you through my 'Race Against Time...' challenge, where you will need to lead Manchester City back to glory...
 

The Story...

 
UEFA have turned into hard, hard bastards.
 
Due to Manchester City's horrifying balance sheet's UEFA have had to take action: Manchester City have been relegated to the Conference North and have been handed a transfer embargo until 1st July 2018 (the first season you could possibly reach the Premier League again). Yep, they were harsh!
 
Because of their demise to England's sixth tier, as you can imagine, Man City's stars well and truly through a strop: they all wanted out and NOW! However the board didn't allow that, the entire first team squad has been sent out on loan until the start of the 2018 season with the other club paying their wages in full!
 
Now, your left with the kids (and 'you cant win anything with kids'). Manchester City's young guns are your team for the next 4 season's, weather you like it or not!
 
The squad! Richard Right is the father figure...
Your squad is heavily depleted, as you can see, but you have some big talent for the lower leagues...

Alex Henshall is a pacey winger, who will cause havoc!

Jason Danyer is a very tidy centre-half, nothings getting past him!
You are expected to win the league in the first season, by both the owner and media, so good luck with that!
 
The entire Manchester City playing staff agreed to extend their contracts to 2024 but if you aren't in the Premier League by their loan return don't expect Aguero and co. to hang around, they probably won't!
 

To Conclude...

As I said to start: this is my first ever challenge database (so I'm not sure weather it'll be too easy or too hard).
 
However I've tested it a few times, by holidaying through, and it looks good!
 
Any feedback would be appreciated (as would the downloads!).
 
 
 
 
Before I go. If you want to keep up to date with all things AYO, FM Lord Chris and me: go and like or subscirbe to our other ventures!

Team America


Sorry its not the Puppet's but the Football team, Team USA just like the Team FA England http://www.fmchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/team-fa-england.html and RF Espana http://www.fmchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/team-rf-espana.html We have a Team USA. They are players that are on the edge of International recognition along with some of the best youngsters USA has to offer. 

I have to say it was one of the hardest team's to pick as I avoid the MLS due to not understanding the rules if I am totally honest. But Michael Bradley Landon Donavan have featured in teams of mine in the past. This challenge has been the perfect time for me to get to know the American players. Hopefully I have done the Nation proud, if you you think I am far off the team it should be then please feel free to correct me and point me in the correct direction.

The staff was very hard I went by reputation rather than anything else, I wanted a big world wide name that might increase the popularity of the team in the same way the American would go for like Klingsmann, Giggs or Scholes where first choice but would they? Then it came to me a CB who would love it and personal biased aside he has been one of the biggest names in European football having played for England and Manchester United. I welcome you to Team USA Assistant Manager (Manager if you don't control the team) Rio Ferdinand. He will also be available to play I know that is not the aim of the team but he would do well for you if he is wanted.


As for the rest I decide to stick American although somehow a Costa Rican has snuck in, not sure how that one happened. The first thing I would possibly do on this save however is look at each individual and maybe bring in your own staff as it was done by reputation rather than ability by myself. But they should be up to the standard to start with. 


As for players well I only know of one of your best youth products ever and his name is Freddy Adu this is how I remember and know of him:

The young God of United States Football

If he was in this years FM at that age he may look alot like this:





Not that i would recreate a wonderkid so that you could use him for a challenge, But here is FM05's Freddy Adu in Team USA. As for the rest of the team i tried to avoid the players that where taken to the 2014 world cup as well as Landon Donavan but had to have some talent apart from the Above god. Let me know what you think of them.

Jay's Inbetweener's Woking Challenge



Now there are many famous Championship (Football) manager fans but are any bigger than the above quote??? No we thought not either, Now Jay maybe a managerial God but luckily I managed to garb an interview with him. 

We scheduled the meeting but twice it got cancelled as he was "too busy shagging the pussay, you know how it is" But finally he joined us.

He informed us that Sir Alex and Giggsy approached him on day one begging to be a part of his set up so it helped that he had an assistant that admired him so much. He also claimed that Giggs took the flack for him shagging his brothers wife as he didn't want the publicity himself. After an hour or 5 seconds game time Ronaldinho and David Beckham arrived to be part of the revolution to help themselves improve as footballer's under a great manager.

It had helped that he was the talent scout that spotted Balanta Hughes and Fierro as he knew about them way before anyone else did. He also brought through the youth ranks Jayzinho his uglier half twin brother. Jay himself could have become a superstar to rival the greats but due to his face he was too busy with the ladies to make the commitment. Luckily for Jayzinho he doesn't have that problem and was eligible from the off to play in almost any position his manager wanted, Jayzinho had the talent to rival Messi and Pele he was that good.

Cristano Ronaldo also funded his own move to Woking to join up with the team. All he wanted was good football and was assured of that at from Jay's Woking apparently.

We soon realized he had a bit of FM Editor Magic but we have managed to replicate what he had but we have added our own little challenges. As you can see you have everything you need to be European Champions in Six years but can you honestly do it? I promise it wont be easy.

Thank you Jay for taking time out of your busy schedule to help us with this challenge.
