The Evertonbloke Round the World Challenge.

Heres the situation: You are an unproven young manager with a burning desire to prove yourself as the best of the best. Starting out with no reputation, none of the big clubs would look twice at you. You must start in some village team out the back and beyond! Building your reputation steadily and jumping ship to more well known teams is the only way to succeed. Only time will tell if you really do have what it takes to win it all.

(Originally called Evertonblokes big long challenge, anyone still playing from FM07 is more than welcome to post in this thread)

It’s a very simple premise, you have to collect all the trophies on the list below:

World
World Cup
European Cup
African Nations Cup
Asian Cup
North America Gold Cup
Copa America
Confederations Cup

European
Euro Vase
Euro Cup
Euro Champions Cup
Euro Super Cup

Americas
North America Champions Cup
Copa Libertadores
Copa Sudamerica
Recopa

Africa
African Champions League
African Cup Winners Cup
African Super Cup

Asia
Asian Champions League
Confederations Cup
South East Asian Club Championship
East Asian Championship

Specials
Royal League - top 4 teams from Norway, Sweden, Denmark
All Ireland Cup - Top teams from Ireland and Northern Ireland
World Club Championship

You can run as many leagues as you want, remembering that the more leagues and divisions there are, the more opportunities there will be. However you WILL need a minimum of the following leagues:
1 from Sweden, Denmark, or Norway
1 from Ireland or Northern Ireland
1 from Brazil or Argentina
1 from Singapore or Malaysia
1 from USA or Mexico
1 from South Korea or China
South Africa
Australia
Plus it is recommended that you take a big European League and retain all players from New Zealand to help with some of the competitions.

I would advise to run some leagues to their lowest division to help with getting a job when you have little or no rep in that country.

Rules
Any DB size, any retained countries
No game editors or editing allowed
Attribute masking ON
You must win all the cups with one manager.
You must start off as an unemployed manager with automatic previous experience
The winner is the first to collect all these cups, and photo proof will be required!
Player naming is allowed, but only in the respect of putting in a team report. IE. No lists of players you recommend others buy.

Please post screenies of anything you wish and give updates on anything that you think would be interesting to the other challengers.

I forgot to mention:

Please post a screenie of your profile when you start, along with a list of the leagues you are running!

Great start!

retired_kevins

just started this now... (after watching the farce of a reffereeing preformance by clattenburg)

first time ive started the game, so ive got no idea about the speed its going to run...

may need to restart, because ive chose ALOT of leagues, maybe too many. in the previous challenge i wanted to manage in portugal, russia, ukraine, at times, but i didnt have then running, so this time, im playing it safe and running loads of them.

not running any lowere leagues, so not too sure yet where i will get my first job!

Hope the link works, and here we go

Theres about a million jobs available!

retired_sneakystef

After recieving about 10 job offers mainly from Brazilian state teams, I went for Almagro in the Argentine Second tier.

Almagro look pretty good, but start with a 3 point deduction. We are just one promotion away from trying to qualify for a challenge cup.

Here we go.....
