Career Conquering The World

[liam1872]

Conquering The World

I am back with another career, or series of careers as you'll see in a moment, after my "FMM Meltdown" of recent times.

The idea of this string of careers is to enter and to win every single trophy in the game, seems a big ask huh? I like big challenges.

Obviously this cannot be done in a single save due to the restrictions of loaded leagues and of course this could be easier if I was just to pick the best team in every league. So for this reason I have set some RULES:

1. Only the starting nation is loaded, no additional leagues, i.e. If the nation I have chosen to conquer first is England, only England would be loaded in the game set up.

2. The team chosen must not be the biggest team in the league, mid to bottom of the table to make the challenge interesting.

3. The usual, no unlockables and no saving/reloading!

On top of these rules I have decided to make this a more interactive career than before. 

YOU will be in charge of which nation I go to next and which team I take over in that nation!

I will run a poll before I start at each nation followed by a poll containing the possibilities of clubs that I will take over at!

I hope the interactive side of this career goes well and you guys don't leave me in charge of terrible teams, but I'm looking forward to starting this off and I hope you are too!

Be sure to let me know what you think of this idea in a comment, and as always thank you all for reading and I will see you all soon!

CAREER ONE

The following strawpoll will contain the 6 choices for the first steps into this series of careers, please take a couple minutes to vote.

http://strawpoll.me/7180014

Thank you for voting!

[liam1872]

CAREER ONE TEAM

English Premier League won the vote in terms of which league we would be managing in, now for the team. The following straw poll contains 6 possible teams, please take a couple minutes to vote.

http://strawpoll.me/7183467

Thank you for voting!

[DaB]

Really excited by this, Newcastle if it wins will be really fun to try, especially given their poor position in real life 

[Ashez]

That target list is so intimidating! Voted for Palace as they're a solid squad but need some work whereas I feel most the other options are more complete. 

[pipaz4]

Voted for West Ham because i wanna see "el pibe" Lanzini conquer the EPL.-

[Taff]

I Voted for Swansea as there the Welsh team and it would be nice to see them the right end of the table

[liam1872]

CAREER ONE TEAM

The poll has received several votes and although it is close at the top, it looks as though Newcastle, with 6 votes, have just edged it ahead of West Ham who gained 4.

If you think I should run another poll between just Newcastle & West Ham leave a comment, if not the career will begin as I take over at Newcastle United!

Thank you for taking the time to vote!

[Ashez]

Just go Newcastle mate, better to get this started IMO  

[DaB]

I agree with ashez^ best to get it started. Good luck 

[Ashez]

Unless they don't interest you? It's always better to play as someone you want to play as, especially in a save where you are looking at spending 6-10+ hours on. 

[Mikee1984]

Newcastle all the way mate 

[liam1872]

CAREER ONE TEAM

That is it decided then, the team we will be in charge of for career one is NEWCASTLE UNITED.

Thank you for your input and I hope to have the first update up in the near future!

As always thank you all for reading and I will see you all soon!

[DaB]

Brilliant, good luck

Career One - Season One

NEWCASTLE UNITED

Spoiler

The journey begins..

Spoiler

The board had been somewhat generous in the amount of money they had made available giving us £8.25M to spend in order to make the squad good enough in order to qualify for Europe.

Spoiler

TRANSFERS

OUT

Spoiler

There wasn't much transfer activity this season given the squad at Newcastle is already more than capable of finishing respectably in the league (despite what is going on in real life). Siem De Jong went to rivals Sunderland for £6M and was followed out the door by Papiss Cissé who went to QPR for £3.5M.

IN

Spoiler

Just the one incoming for the season as Nicolai Boilesen arrived from Ajax for £3.5M to give us a better option at full back.

COMPETITIONS

Capital One Cup

Spoiler

A poor result in the Third Round of the cup as we lose out to Norwich City in what was a very poor performance. We didn't deserve anything more than the defeat and so we switched our focus to our remaining competitions.

FA Cup

Spoiler

An amazing cup run saw us make it all the way to the final of the FA Cup in which we would face league champions Manchester City. A truly remarkable performance saw us walk out of Wembley with a 2-1 win over Manchester City and the FA Cup trophy for the trophy cabinet.

In the below spoiler is the run from the quarter-final through to the final!

Spoiler

English Premier League

Spoiler

After 27 games in the league season the race for Europe couldn't have been any tighter with only 1 point separating 3rd from 10th! Would we be able to make it into the European places?

Spoiler

The race for Europe was tight but we managed to make it up to 5th after the results, shown below, on the last day of the season went our way.

Spoiler

SEASON REVIEW

After the first season of the first career we have started making ground towards conquering the world as we win our first trophy in the FA Cup. Next season we will look to improve on our 5th placed finish and will be hopeful of good runs in the Capital One Cup and the Europa League!

As always thank you all for reading and I will see you all soon!

Nice fa cup win but imo 5th with Newcastle is a below par season.

[Ashez]

Solid season IMO, decent in the league and a cup to boot! The goal difference seems to be an issue so hopefully you can address that in the coming season. 

[DaB]

Brilliant season, doing much better than Newcastle in real life, and a trophy to back up the league position, next year you can push on 

[liam1872]

@Mikee1984 it could've been worse, struggled to score goals all season.

@Ashez Goal difference was definitely an issue, struggled to score goals for a start. Hopefully next season can be better!

@DaB Far better than Newcastle IRL haha. The cup win was a boost for next seasons hopes!

[Mikee1984]

@liam1872Yh your defo right mate maybe i was  a tad harsh, all the best for next season mate.

[liam1872]

Career One - Season Two

NEWCASTLE UNITED

TRANSFERS OUT

Spoiler

There was plenty transfer activity this season with the significant sale of Ayoze Perez for a huge £30m to Italian giants Lazio. This may come as a surprise to you however we struggled to score goals for much of last season and with Perez massively underperforming, £30m was far too good to turn down.

Perez was followed out of St James Park by; Jack Colback, £8.5m to Frankfurt; Cheick Tiote, £5m to Crystal Palace; Haris Vuckic, £3.5m to Southampton; Gael Bigirimana, £2.5m to Nottingham Forest as well as a host of players who left on free transfers upon the expiring of their contracts.

Kevin Mbabu left as a part-exchange to Schalke in a deal which you'll see in a moment..

TRANSFERS IN

Spoiler

The £30m from the sale of Ayoze Perez was spent, along with over £30m more. Brazilian attacking midfielder Rafinha came in from Barcelona in the biggest incoming of the season for £20m. Kevin Mbabu was part of the deal that saw Leroy Sane arrive at St James Park, on top of a hefty £15m fee. Ivan Perisic arrived from Inter Milan for £15m also, and was followed in by Victor Wanyama for £6.25m, John Brooks for £4.1m and Timo Horn for £3.5m.

Strong additions to the squad which would hopefully lift us up the table!

NEW SIGNINGS

Spoiler

COMPETITIONS

Community Shield

Spoiler

After last seasons FA Cup win we would be competing in the Community Shield this season against Premier League winners Chelsea. Adam Armstrong was picked to start as striker by default due to injuries and he took his opportunity well as he bagged a brace in a 2-0 win. 

FA Cup

Spoiler

We came close to matching last seasons feat of winning the competition as we made it to the semi-final, however our nemesis of the season Arsenal knocked us out with a comfortable 2-0 win.

Capital One Cup

Spoiler

We faced Chelsea once again, this time in the Capital One Cup final at Wembley. We ran out 2-0 winners in the Community Shield and we matched that once again, this time with Mitrovic grabbing the 2 goals. Another competition win as we make it 3 completed from the list.

EURO Cup

Spoiler

In the EURO Cup we once again faced Arsenal, who once again got the better of us in both legs as we lost 1-0 home and away to be knocked out 2-0 on aggregate.

English Premier League

Spoiler

A very impressive and massive win in the title race as we dismantle Arsenal 5-1 at St James Park to put us within 3 points of them at the top of the table..

Spoiler

With just one game to go we had managed to draw level with Arsenal on points however were still 2nd on goal difference. We would face Fulham on the last game of the season, meanwhile Arsenal would face Everton..

Spoiler

A 2-0 win at home to Fulham coupled with Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Goodison Park saw us finish the season as the champions of England!!

COMPETITIONS REVIEW

PLAYER STATS

CAREER ONE REVIEW

In career one with Newcastle United we have managed to pick up the FA Cup, Capital One Cup, Community Shield and the English Premier League. We could take this further and try to go on and win the EURO Cup and the Champions Cup, however I feel it would be best to move onto career two.

If you have any recommendations, let me know in a comment and I will release a poll soon!

As always, thank you all for reading and I will see you all soon!

The difference was Wanyama!! He takes all the credit, inspired signing! Ohhh Vincent Wanyammmmma! 

Congratz mate, can't wait to see where you end up next :D. I'll once again say Sevilla as I think they're a fun club to manage.

brilliant season mate, now a new challenge, Sevilla could be a good shout as barca real and athletico will all be hard to beat. I pick them, decent squad but needs improving, good luck 

[Ashez]

No idea why I put Vincent lmao
