The All Europe Challenge
This challenge was something i thought about doing for FM2007, but never realy got in to. It is mainly and excuse for me to go around Europe, manageing some very odd teams (with some giants thrown in of course) and feel as if there is a point to it!
Aim: To win the top division in every playable European country + the Champions League & UEFA Cup atleast once
All competitions must be won with the same manager.
Set up
Leagues to run: All European leagues (thats 34 leagues!) (lower divisions at players discretion)
Additional Nations: At players discretion (i always tend to go for Brazil and Argentina)
Attribute Masking: ON
Transfer Budgets Allowed: YES
Real Players: players discretion (though i would imagine 99.9% will use real players)
Database Size: players discretion
International Management: Allowed at any time
Signing Players: No additional restrictions, attribute masking is enough.
Player naming in thread: Allowed
Manager Set up
I thought quite hard about this, and decided that because the challenge is so long (probably too long?), there is little point in starting unemployed and building up a reputation. So i have decided that players can pick any team they like to start with. Obviously picking a Barcelona or AC Milan will give you a nice easy start and if your sucessful, a very good continental reputation. However, i would hope that most players would be more creative in their initial team selection... I personaly will be starting with someone from eastern europe, a decent side, but not a Shaktar or a CSKA for instance.
I think this is a challenge where the 'Random Team' button could be pretty useful for players who cannot decide!
Manager Experience: Automatic
Nationality: Players discretion - be sensible and pick your own, or pick a mad one if you prefer! (personaly, i will be half Kyrgyzstani half Uzbek)
Obviously this is a very big challenge, it would take a minimum of 34 seasons to complete, however it would probably take many more. Because of the challenges length, im not looking for a real out and out winner, but it should be interesting to see how far people can get, and what unusual teams get managed along the way!
42 leagues and a small database and this seems just about crazy enough to work! Might take some time to set everything up, though. I'll get back on this when it finishes loading.
Will definatly start with this
Can't start until next friday cuz my computer is ****ed up and my reserve is way to bad for this game (Windows 95)
But when I start I'll start with one of these teams:
AIK Solna, Sweden (My absolute favourite team in this world)
Dynamo Kyiv, Ukraine
Spartak Moscow, Russia
Benfica, Portugal
Cork City, Ireland
Borussia Dortmund, germany
Will let the dice decide the team and if I don't like the result, I choose the one I want XD
