I will keep the leaderboard up to date.

Overal leaderboard will be ordered first by position in lowest number of seasons leaderboard, position is your points x2, then by club trophies board, position is your points x1, then by bank balance board, position is your points 1/2. Extra challenges are worth -1 point each.

So if you come 2nd in lowest seasons(4 pts), 3rd in trophies(3 pts) and 4th in bank balance(2 pts), and did 2 extra challenges (-2pts) you would have 7 points.

The players with the lowest points will rank highest on the Overall leaderboard.


Good luck! and thank god for the autosave feature on here, wrote all that ^ then my internet died when i pressed post!

Update from my own attempt.... Sacked at the end of the season for not getting promoted. The board also had to take out several loans to keep the club afloat. I really need to learn how to play better lol.

I started with mine abit ago i was doing all finances to keep it afloat and get more money for next season sell some of the players on the most and then get better players cheaper! I got promoted and got 4 million next season all about balancing your own finances you need to check them out as soon as you start a save

 

[Matticus88]

I really need to learn how to play this game better. i'm not very good tactically or at finding decent players to sign.. and thats the game in a nutshell really. after i got sacked, i went to barnet, promotion favorites, half way in the season they were in 19th so i resigned. then quit that save.

I'm going to give Blackburn another attempt soon, hopefully after i've learnt a bit more, and discovered some players that'll help.
