Getting ready to download FM19 for a bit of indoor fun on these hot days.

I've been planning this one for a while. I going to take over FC Eindhoven in the Eerstedivisie. They are the poor cousins to PSV, may have made it to the Eredivisie once or twice, for maybe a season or two. They play out of a stadium with a capacity of 4,600.

De Blauw-witten - the Blue-whites (similar to a North Melbourne jumper)

My mission: to one day make them as big, as successful and as popular as PSV.

This is a game for the long haul.

Have been thinking the same, but need a new laptop first!

 

[Gigantor]

Downloaded it last night, it's all very exciting, it was on special too for $59.

My journey begins, as the manager for the weak, small and hopeless FC Eindhoven:

Long pre-season is over, and pleased to start my campaign with an away win:

Just had a big cup win against a first division team.


It was tied 4-4 coming into Extra time, my boys had given everything, but they had one last attack in them, sweeping the ball from right to left, my wing back came in from deep and smashed it on the volley!

How are you finding the game play?

How are you finding the game play?

It's been three years since the last version I owned, a few changes, very different look, I was too impatient to learn everything, so I just went ahead and so there are a few things I haven't worked out yet, a few things have been made a bit easier, other things, I can't seem to get to as easy as I used to, but that happens with any software upgrade. Enjoying it.

Might start a game with like Everton or Leicester.

Just came off my most successful season with my homegrown Celtic side yet, went undefeated in the league and made the semi finals of the Champions League after 6 seasons of R16 and QF exits. All of my squad were born within 30 miles of the stadium.

Some better players:

Mark Fraser, vice captain, debuted at 17, possibly the greatest ever Scottish player

Kieran Tierney, captain since 2019, only player to have become a club legend so far

Jamie Leitch, star striker

Colin Albiston, thrust into first team action at just 18 and already has 287 appearances for the club at age 23

Jai Quitongo, an ideal pressure forward for gegenpress and an unlikely goalscoring hero, now the all-time leader for Scotland

Getting towards the end of Season One, we hosted the 2nd top team, dominated, and they beat us 1-0 with one shot on goal for the whole match! We even managed to miss a penalty in the final minute. Ever get the feeling FM is trolling you??

Finished Season 1 in 3rd spot, we now take part in play offs for possible promotion to the Eredivisie:

Tierney is Manx

 

[Dav]

Tierney is Manx

I know... he is my sole exception as he was raised in Glasgow from the age of like 8 months and played for Celtic from the age of 8... also he's bonkers and I've managed to keep him the entire time despite constant interest.

 

[Gigantor]

One thing I noticed, not sure if its FM19 generally, or just my game, but usually when you take over these small clubs, they are broke, and you stay broke for a long time, but this time, the revenue for the year covered the annual expenses quite easily, even before selling a couple of players, I made a surplus for the season. I've never experienced that before in the lower divisions.

 

[Gigantor]

My first season with FC Eindhoven ends. Finished 3rd and then lost out the promotion play off to a team which finished 8th.

 

[Gigantor]

Season 2, 2019-20, have won promotion to the Eredivisie:


My wage budget is set at 53,000 Euros, which is peanuts, just gotta find some kids who are prepared to play for next to nothing. Now for 2 or 3 seasons of battling relegation until a can get a decent squad together.

 

[Gigantor]

My first game in the Eredivisie, always an exciting time after getting promoted and got a home win against one of the middling teams:


Also, nice that one of my recruits during the off-season got our first ever goal on debut, with this sliding effort from a free kick:

 

[Gigantor]

A dose of reality for my boys:

I just moved into a 96,500 seat stadium in 2027 for Celtic, and got 94,000 to our first home game against St Mirren which is a record crowd for the club. We made the Champions League final last season and lost in extra time but still have a pretty young squad and I think the window is firmly open.

And here i was celebrating finally hitting 1000 to The Hive in my Barnet Vanarama Nation League save Signed ex-socceroo Scott Mcdonald on a non-contract pay-as-you-play deal and my home crowd improved from 600 to 1000 on his debut . That's crazy haha
