Has anyone played England long enough for some no name team making a huge run up the league system?

CPU controlled Eastleigh.

2014/15 - Vanarama Conference - 1st
2015/16 - League 2 - 24th
2016/17 - Vanarama Conference - 13th
2017/18 - Vanarama Conference - 24th
2018/19 - Vanarama North/South - 20th
2019/20 - Tier 7 - unknown
2020/21 - Vanarama North/South - 11th
2021/22 - Vanarama North/South - 1st
2022/23 - Vanarama Conference - 1st
2023/24 - League 1 - 1st
2024/25 - League 2 - 5th
2025/26 - Conference - 16th
2026/27 - Conference - 9th

Win League 1 and relegate to League 2. Then go 5th in League 2 and relegate again. Harsh.
Min you, the leap from the conference to league 1 is a boost.

I'm guessing that should be League 2 in 23/24 and League 1 in 24/25, then Championship for the last two seasons.
I can't say I've ever seen a run like that in other FMs but from time to time they must happen.

In FM13 I holiday'd through to about 2060, so I'd have to check, but I would imagine someone shot right up.

 

[boydsno1]

2nd Season at Braga and i am having a good season till i crashed out in the last 16 in the europa league.
Currently equal first after 30 games with Porto and in both cup's final which both will be played against Porto. I am yet to beat Porto in my previous 5 games so far lol. Would hang myself if i end up runner up in all 3 to those bastards.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Sunderland (soz NUFC Tiger ) are in the FA Cup final so Sunderland make Europe.......Despite being 17th in the Championship )

Arsenal - 2nd in the Championship

I know its just a game DB but how are both of these even possible?

Please tell me Mike Ashley has since sold up shop and left the club by 2026?

I haven't followed the ownership side of things.
But the Newcastle chairman loves the club so I assume Ashley is gone.

So after winning the Serie A with Cynthia, I've gone back to Hayes and Yeading to stop this skid where they've became a mid premier league side.
Once I win the league, I'm thinking Spain is in order.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Also, on Arsenal's fall, it was a bit out of no where.

[boydsno1]

As expected i finished second to Porto in the league by 2 points. Argh lol. Also lost the league cup final to them but i did win the portuguese cup and now the Supercup.

 

[Fart Cummings]

just started a save game with notts and almost every game on of my players will get a red card! im using a downloaded tactic and i made sure to stop them from tackling hard but they always do it!

 

[AngryRanga]

My League 2 side was in debt. We scrape into the FA Cup 4th round and get drawn Chelsea at Stamford. They score an own goal in the 40th, we park the bus and win 1-0, despite not having a shot. Lose in the 5th round against Swansea at home. Check finances at the end of the month, 1 million in surplus. Cup run was a success then.

 

[boydsno1]

Lost my Braga save after winning the league. Damn it.

Starting a Parma one now.

 

[Dirty Bird]

stopped playing and waiting for FM16.
Need to turn FCUM into a footballing powerhouse.

 

[boydsno1]

Is 16 in October or November?

Just started my Parma save and made a ok start so far.

A quality free player that people should pick up is Geraldo. A Angolan striker/winger who has pace to burn and can bang the goals in. Doesn't demand much wage and can on sell for good coin. Also only 22 if i remember correctly.

 

[Dylan8]

First time I've ever finished a season in any FM game due to finally having been patient enough to push past having nfi what I'm doing.

United spectacularly bottle an almost sure top 4 finish by losing to Leicester then drawing a relegated Palace at home in order for my Liverpool to slip in with a couple of wins in the last fixtures.

Sucked in Virtual Mancs.

Shout out to E92_

FM14 was late October, FM15 was early November. So somewhere in the middle.

Stolen from r/football manager. I had a laugh, ignoring light homophobia (?)

Started a new file with an update -

Lacazette - 21m
Austin 10m with 10m in add ons (7.5m for 50 league goals, 2.5m after 10 international apps)
Balanta - 4m
Lucas Romero - 5m
Tielemans 7.5m
Bolasie - 11m

Trying for Jedinak too but Palace are being bastards.

Sold Walcott to United for 22.5m. Shipped out Flamini for 4.5, Arteta for 6.5m, Gibbs 8.5m. Trying to get rid of Rosicky too. Debating whether or not to keep Giroud and Welbeck or get good fees and bring in other reinforcements

Cech
Bellerin Per Kos Nacho
Coq
Ramsey
Alexis Ozil Ox/Bolasie
Lacazette
​

Romero
Giroud
Welbeck
Austin
Balanta
Wilshere
Santi
Tielemans

Wouldn't mind another CB for Per and just get rid of him for good, he is way too slow. Trying to bring another LB too. Might try for another AM as well. Cazorla has never done anything for me in any FM. Odd.

Improve your defence.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah not sure who to buy. Kos is still very good, Balanta will come good. Might snag Munoz again who is cheap, or even Umtiti. Maybe Caulker. I'll have to have a scout and see.

Reckon I will sell Santi.

 

[DaZorko]

What about John Stones and Varane, are they cheap buys or expensive ?

 

[Cruyff14]

Playing with an update so not sure. Signed Varane last time for 35 I think.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Smashed Dortmund 7-2... Only for the save to corrupt .

 

[boydsno1]

Hahaha that sucks.

New build your club mode in the new game is awesome. I know you can do it in a editor but still a cool feature to add.

They seem to be adding more gimmick features, with the create a club, create a manager and the fantasy draft. Hopefully this opens up a few more people to try the game.
