Football Manager - What's your greatest achievement?

I'm sure I'm not the only person here who has poured countless hours into FM games over the years. The strategic patience required to take a non-league minnow all the way to European glory is not to be sniffed at, and scouring the transfer market with a fine-tooth comb for that perfect striker is an activity all of us 'managers' will have partaken part in. Personally I've always been a fan of starting in the lower leagues, and trying to work my way up gradually to the Prem. Yes this is a very time consuming way to play the game, but as FM doesn't require sound to be on you can listen to podcasts while you play, so it's kind of productive... right?

So here's my greatest story. On Football Manager 2010 I led an admittedly relatively well financed Notts County side all the way from League Two to become year 2024/25 Premier League Champions. Yes this took HUNDREDS of hours, but I was a first year uni student at the time so I had more than my fair share of free time. By that point most of my team were young computer-generated players scouted mostly from the Brazilian league. My only regret is that I was never able to achieve Champions League glory.

What is your proudest FM achievement? I know there are at least 1 or 2 FM players here on Steemit, @rickskimartin is one!

i am just a beginner. Can some one help me to start? The hardcore player looks cool!

What are you having problems with? I know it can be quite daunting at first since as it's not exactly the most simple game out there

sometimes you let the beach-player to play the game. However, they always lose the game. The most important thing is that i do not know the correct way to balance the team in each match

Cheers mate 👍

I once had a career on FM 2015 where I was Evertone manager for 25 years and took them to bossing everything. Still remember the Regen names and Bios now!

Had to stop playing as the game got corrupt when my laptop broke!

25 years! That is some serious FM hours! I still remember Rodrigo the Brazilian 6 ft 6 regen Striker with 19 pace. He was like Crouch, Drogba and Eto rolled into one!

Yeah serious hours went into that game!

Currently on a career now with my Custom team I created in data editor. Will be uploading next part in hour or so.

I'm waiting for new one to come out then will start a new career. Might look to an online steem game if the interest is there

Cool to see some people talking about FM on Steemit! Have been playing since Peter Prospar was the man of the future :-) Didn't play for about a year or so unfortunately. O, the hours/days/months FM have cost me over the years!
