I've decided to try out a totally different style of challege. I'm trialing this on myself to see if there is much chance of actually winning anything.

Seeing as Darlo are pretty close to running out of money, i've edited them into the village I live in. I had to make my village a part of the game to do, using correct latitudes/longitudes/weather etc.

No staff, No chairman, No sugar daddy, nothing, no affiliated clubs, no club history, totally clean club.

Only thing i've put in the club is 1 player (me), the only thing i've done with myself is, give myself argression (im quite agressive) and what traits I have on the pitch i.e Likes taking long shots etc, but did them true to myself.

Made up a stadium, with a 5000 capacity, with ability to expand to 200000.

Given the club a Bank balance of £500000, transfer budget of £200000 and a wage budget of £2000.

I guess the challenge would be to squad from scratch (except the one player) a team and backroom staff that would make money and get promoted.

What do you guys think?

Just noticed that the game generates a few members of staff which have been hired the same day as the game has started.
 
what CA/PA is your player but sounds fun enough
 
I've left them all at 0, so the computer assigns them random attributes. Wouldn't be fair sticking them all at 20 lol

yeh but the actual CA and PA Current Ability and Potential ability.
both are out of 200
 
no idea lol might need to double check

Just checked what I did, and I left current and potential ability at 0, so that it is totally random.

Ok, so heres the situation. When the game starts, your team will have a full 1st team squad and a youth squad, but the 1st team squad will all go into your youth team, and replace whats already in your youth team, so now i'm left with 1 player, myself, and £200000 to spend on getting players to join a team with an obscure reputation and a media prediction of 24th in the Blue Square Prem.

There is a chairman wanting to sell the club, an assistant manager, a physio and a scout.

Let the player hunting and staff hunting commence.

Anyone who wishes to emulate this, feel free, but choose to replace darlington, to keep things on a level playing field, I created a new team, then swapped them with darlo.

Most values entered are 0, as this makes the game randomly assign qualities to attributes etc.

Stadium created has capacity 5000, ability to expand to 200000, no extensions pre set.
Bank Balance £500000
Transfer Kitty £200000
Wage Kitty £2000

Things like reputation and morale are set to 1. As I beleive you as manager should build this from 1 and not some random number.

I have also changed my player to all attributes set at 0. All I did was put my traits e.g likes long shots.

Have fun.

If anyone does attempt their own version of this, The two ways we can calculate success is by prize money (found in finances screen, take screenshots of this at the end of each season, or we can calculate this based purely on league points accrued and goal difference, again a screen shot of end of season league table to show the result.

Also points will be handed out for having certain records, this will be easy to keep a check of, seeing as your created team should have no club history, so for things like
Biggest win = 50 pts
Biggest defeat = -50 pts
Most Games won in Row = 50 pts
Most Games lost in Row = -50 pts

Hmmm, sounds like fun challange. But, can I make a suggestion ? How about you make stadium with 2000 seats with possible 100000, no transfer budget, and wage budget 1000 euros, punds whatever :D.... Make that kind of database, upload it here, and I'll play it for sure. Just, put the club in some country other than England, maybe in Spain, Italy .... in their lowest division... make only 1 player with PA of 100, and 20 with CA 30 and PA 50...
 
I'll have a bash at uploading the database...

It will be in England though, as I am english, and live in england, so being in foreign lower leagues doesnt really do anything for me, and i've chosen to get rid of darlington, as they are local to me, and are threatened with administration anyway

I'll start a new thread with rules and database etc once i've sorted the datebase out etc. Thanks for your interest guys, I hope this works, could be interesting.
