Nice to see you been dabbling with something Hok. Though it seems most of us are having a love / hate relationship with fm21 So hopefully you do a thread or just an update here if this one sticks abit

Though it seems most of us are having a love / hate relationship with fm21 So hopefully you do a thread or just an update here if this one sticks abit Yeah, while I was initially excited for this version of FM it's been hard to get stuck in with anything. I figure a kids save lets me focus on the things I like the most, which are tactics and player development, and tune out the stuff that I find has gotten a bit overwhelming, like transfers and scouting. And Athletic gives me an actual reason to ignore those things.

Alright, so I'm ready to try to get stuck in with a game and thread. I know I want the save to be YDWAWK, but I'm not sure if I want to continue the Athletic save, as that first season was too good, and I hadn't applied all of the mods that I'd've liked. Any suggestions? I haven't managed in Latin America for a while, so a save in Brazil seems fun, but those seasons are so long....

Are you wanting a semi established youth production, or something that may require abit of building.
Chile and Peru are shorter seasons

Are you wanting a semi established youth production, or something that may require abit of building. Chile and Peru are shorter seasons Established youth would be nice to get things rolling, but it doesn't have to be a maxed out setup. I'd like a team with a reputation for youth development, but not necessarily at the top of their league.

Chivas in Mexico perhaps? I don't think they're really at the top of their league anymore and have a solid youth foundation. Otherwise maybe Nacional in Ecuador?
I've loaded up the game for the first time in forever tonight and having a wee thought as to a potential save for myself. Timo isn't doing his megapack anymore, which is a shame, so I'm trying to decide on where I'll be headed and what files I'm going to need to get there!

I haven't managed in Mexico before, either!

Not gonna do seperate thread, due to expectation of it not lasting long, but decided to do an international manager journeyman. with no real aim than trying to win the various continental trophies and the world cup at some point.
upon loading noticed a bunch of Oceanina sides available and Georgia. decided to apply for all Oceaninic countries - the best of the bunch being New Caledonia
The only aim the board have at the moment
Winners go into semis and a final where winners qualify for a playoff
The continental competition is the pacific games, but the does not start till summer 2023.

I briefly had a look at various pacific sides but didnt want to be at an am side or a New Zealand side, but once again nothing really stuck

A suprise result in what should be our hardest game on paper Waya goal was last kick of the game from distance to, very last ditch stuff

A solid victory, waya again on the scoresheet, he has been coming off the bench but this 19 year old has forced his way into start from now on another solid win, with Waya, starting and grabbing a goal! A poor 0-0 vs Tuvalu, we dominated, Waya had the ball in the net few times but was ruled out for offsides! We have qualified with 1 game remaining Solomon gave us a scare towards the end, but we kept our good form up with another 4 goals Only suprise to me was New Zealand losing and maybe Fiji not qualifying.

Semi leg 1 we go into second leg looking good for the final PNG didnt really cause much problems
5-2 on agg, away tie felt harder with them peppering our goal as can be seen from the number of shots they had. We play NZ who beat Vantu 3-2 on agg. The final is a 2 legged affair Our good form has meant we have moved up 2 rankings to 143rd!
Final leg 1
We struggled to get into this game NZ really dominated, we got 1 goal from our only chance, a small bonus.
final leg 2 NZ came out flying but we were more in this game, but the result does not reflect this we lost 6-2 on agg
Our next meaningful games will be in the Pacific Championship

Had half a season at Kitchee, I resigned before being sacked (we did win HK community shield though)
Pacific games have been drawn and with NZ being u23s, we should have a chance at silverware here? top goes to final 2nd goes to 3rd place playoff

Waya with a brace in a fairly even game Other players reminding me they can score, considering waya got a short injury I will need goals from elsewhre in the next game but a comfortable win vs the hardest team in group imo We played well with Waya replacement getting the only goal. Annoyingly we lost, first loss thats not to a NZ side! The groups ended up as expected to be honest, we will play the NZ u23s in final, they drew with PNG Heartbreaking, 2 rather late goals cost us in an even game, bit depressing that our full squad cant beat u23 NZ have decided this region if not NZ wont bring any success, so we will look to somewhere else, though it will probably be a taking part in numbers kind of job!

A semi interesting u23 was available, Burkino Faso. they have a 2 legged affair in third round of African nations u23s to play the winner qualifies, we will be up against Mozambique, we have beaten Madagascar and Tunisia u23s to get to this stage Best player I have worked with so far as didnt have this type of player at NCL or Kitchee Guira

Well I was able to call up the u23s from the main squad, so now the best players i have worked with have changed Lassina Traore and Tapsoba were the difference makers here especially after I changed the tactics! A smaller win this time out, but 9-4 on agg

The groups,not overly sure who has the strongest sides at this level. Didnt expect this result Alot of the shots were off target, but still to only score 2 seems shocking considering the peppering of the Congo goal, we almost drew 1-1 too! Another low scoring but lots of shots game top of group undefeated Smashed Algeria in semis lost 2-1 sort of unexpected considering how we seem to dominate this tournement. More runners up medals O.o

had a very brief spell at Macedonia, I was gonna try get them into euros via playoffs, but Hungary proved to much didnt fancy nations league or potential world cup qualifiers though, so resigned Ghana accepted my request to join them Now as a major african force, I might keep this a longish tenure.

At the top of the list of "You love to see it"... Yes Please! EDIT: Just changed the height measurements over and realised that Blano is 6'7. He's going to be an absolute beast at set pieces

Those are going to be quite the attacking team, Dale. Blano looks like he'll be Fernando Llorente on steroids.

Sociedad already have an abundance of young attacking options, which is what drew me to them, so to get those two players in my first intake was the icing on the cake. I am super excited about Blanco and hope to feature him quite a bit next season
