Hi there , I'm new to posting here , and would like to tell you my story. I used to play as clubs with some money for me to play around with , or a decent team to start with. When '07 came out , I , like many others found it hard , so I came onto these forums for tips , and found LLM. (I never looked at the tips forum , promise ) I read a few of the stories and the rules and thought I'd have a go at playing in a 'Purer' way. This was my first attempt at LLM.
Frank chose me Motala AIF FK of the Swedish Second Division Middle Gotaland.
Season 1 , 2006
I arrived at my new team, and found alot of deadwood and a Chairman giving me a transfer budget of £0, and a wage budget of £2,200. A bit different to what I was used to , but I wanted a new challenge. My assman advised I was short up front , so out my scout went. I signed one new 36 year old SC, none of the others really impressed. A few signings and friendlys later the season was upon me.
The season was exactly what I was expecting , a struggle , and I Loved It!!
Finished: 8th/12, with the board satisfied.
The 36 year old was my top scorer with 14.
Season 2 , 2007
With the sale of my up and coming DM for £3,000 I had a little cash to play with this time. The board were expecting me to contend this season, so I set about determining my weakest area. It seemed I desperately needed a new AML, so I sent out the scout. He came back with a 18 year old Norweigen who showed some promise during his trial, so I offered £2,000. He then joined, but alas, in his first game he receives a 4 month injury. I start the season good-AML-less. A few freebies and a £1000 SC help my promotion push , and I come top with a last game 1-0 victory over rivals Tibro. Promotion
Finished: 1st/12 , the board delighted with me.
Top scorer was the now 37 year old , with 17.
[b]3rd season , 2008[(B]
I now found myself with a Nosebleed in the dizzy heights of the First Division, expected to battle bravely against relegation. My strikers were doing OK , so I concentrated plugging the gaps in my defence. With no-one of any value leaving , it had to be freebies again. Three youngsters my scout found had succesful trials , and with us beating new rivals Boden and Visby Gute in friendlies, I was quite optimistic. How naïve. With now 38 year old striker opting to retire and become a coach just before the 3rd game of the season, I was left lightweight upfront. The scout found me a promising Finnish youngster who was avaliable on a free , and I signed him, and Fantastic! he scores a brace in his first game , before , predictably , fracturing his skull. With only one decent striker , and with the finances looking quite scary , I decided to make due with what I had. I finish the season in 13th place and its back to the Swedish Second Division Middle Gotaland for me.
Finished: 13th/14 , but the fans said they liked my positive tactics , and I was not fired.
Top scorer was the £1,000 guy from earlier with 12.
This is not the last time I'll update , but I just wanted to say thanks to whoever came up with this idea of LLMing. The rules make it so much more dificult , frustrating , but ultimately rewarding. Winning that promotion on the last day of the season was the most satisfying time I've had in FM, and I also have to say , playing LMM , I feel , has cleansed me
Hope you enjoyed my update. Any feedback is welcome, Cheers.
I too am LLaMaing in Sweden, and TBH I think that its the best league in the world - well - that I've managed in. I find it more fun than in England and everywhere else... Dunno why.
