there is nothing better than knowing you've taken a club from the basement of english football, right to the top.

I wont stop building this Burton team until i've won the the Champs League, and then the World Club, but compared to the top european clubs, that competition is 2nd rate if you have a good enough squad, so i'd put that below the european cup

I holidayed for a season and then took over Gateshead once they were promoted to the Blue Square North, a la Dafuges Challange.

My carrer with them so far:

2007/2008 - On holiday
2008/2009 - 14th in the BSN
2009/2010 - 1st in the BSN
2010/2011 - 15th in the BSP
2011/2012 - 14th in the BSP
2012/2013 - 16th in the BSP
2013/2014 - 4th in the BSP, promoted via playoff final penalty shootout.
2014/2015 - 5th in League 2, promoted via playoffs
2015/2016 - 2nd in League 1
2016/2017 - 12 in The Championship
2017/2018 - 1st in The Championship
2018/2019 - Currently 10th in my first season in The Premiership, now into Feb 2019.

So it's been a long time getting to the Premiership but I've finally done it. After 3 years in the BSP where it looked like I was never going to improve I almost gave up. But things kicked in not long afterwards and I somehow managed back to back promotions up to the Championship (helped by some very lucky play-off results).

I'm currently a bit worried about over-achieving in the Premier League because I'm all to aware of how that will raise expectations and if I slip next season It may have all been for nothing. I doubt I'll even get a chance to start a new game with the 8.0.2 patch as I'm currently enjoying this one so much and will keep going until Gateshead are the best team in the world.

I'm at my beloved Nottingham Forest in my 3rd season.

2007/2008 - League 1 title, JPT title, 4th Round FA cup, 3rd Round League Cup

2008/2009 - Championship 6th place (Lost in Playoff 1st Leg on Penalties to Coventry), FA Cup 5th Round, League Cup 2nd Round

2009/2010 (so far) Championship 1st, FA Cup 5th Round, League Cup Quarter-Final.

My squad is mainly golden oldies mixed with young talent. It is a big squad:

Paul Smith GK
Giorgi Lomaia GK
Ron-Robert Zieler GK
Martin Albrechtsen DR
Kelvin Wilson DR/DC
James Perch DR/DM
Kieran McKenna DR/DC/DM
Bakary Soro DC
Pascal Cygan DC
Wes Morgan DC
Ian Breckin DC
Julian Bennett DL
Tininho DL
Shelton Martis DM
Ivan Campo DM
Herold Goulon DM
Jhon Viafara MR/C
Arron Davies MR/C
Sammy Clingan MC
Lewis McGugan MC
Chris Cohen MC
Kris Commons ML
Ross McCormack ML
Jermaine Beckford ST
Brett Ormerod ST
Kevin Philips ST
Nathan Tyson ST
Kevin Kyle ST
Kim Christensen ST
Tomas Pekhart ST


I reckon 3/4 of that squad will be gone if I get promoted, but as long as I am 6 points clear in a league that contains Man City with a Premiership strength side and Watford who have the best strikeforce outside the Premiership then I am happy.

fair play to you Viazon. I have to say, when i start a game, my intention always is to build up a team so they are unstoppable, then switch to a team in lower league and do the same.
At one point, my Arsenal team was a force to be reckoned with. I started out never being able to beat the other top three teams to being able to beat them with ease everytime I played them.

With Arsenal, I also accomplished a feat I thought was impossible. I went through an entire season with a single loss. Not one, single loss. In any competitions. Which means I won the Carling Cup, FA Cup, Premiership and Champions League.

Needless to say, I was never able to do it again. The closest I got was with Real Madrid in a year I won the treble. That season, I only had two losses. One loss in the Spanish Cup but it was only in the second leg and I won on aggregate and only one loss in the league.



By the way, does anyone know why I cant edit my first post, because I was supposed to say I won 4 La Ligas with Real Madrid.

Playing as leeds for the challenge of coping with the 15 point deduction.

Had a great run of ten wins in a row to get me into playoff positions and then things went a bad wrong and started yo-yoing with results but finished strongly to scrape 2nd place behind swansea.

Second season went relatively well with simon walton coming in to strengthen the defence and doudin in attack but not showing his full potential. Struggled for goals but tight at the back saw me get into the playoffs but get hammered by birmingham.

Just coming into jan in third season. Signed konstadinov (sp?) and mifsud on frees who have been exceptional and have a young slovenian lad in attacking mid. Best goal difference by a mile in the league and holding 1st place but fulham, middlesbrough and wigan all within 2 points.

Oh and I beat west ham in the league cup QFs
