Aim
To replicate Preston North End’s Invincible season of 1888-89

Overview
The football league was set up for the 1888-89 season and its first winner was Preston North End. As well as this historical moment they also became the first ever team to complete ‘the double’ a feat winning the League and the FA Cup in the same season. What made this even more historical they managed to go the entire season without losing a single game in either the FA Cup or the League, something which has only been matched by Arsenal during the 2003-04 season. This is where they picked up the name the ‘Invincibles’
Your challenge is to try and replicate this historic season by gaining promotion to the Premier League and then completing the double of the Premier League and the FA Cup. There will be bonuses available to those who manage to go through the season undefeated and also without conceding a goal in the FA Cup which Preston also managed during the historic season.

The Rules

Load a game with the English leagues only, with the Blue Square N/S selected, a large database (or smaller if preferred) and the attribute masking and the transfer boxes ticked. No additional players from any nation should be loaded.
Add manager as Preston North End your previous experience should be set to ‘Sunday league footballer’
