Ok guys I dont know about you lot but I find the challenges on this forum pretty bland and boring apart from the odd few. So what i thought was making a thread where everyone can perhaps post there ideas on future FM challenges, maybe stuff like what clubs they think would make a good benchmark to start a challenge with,what leagues are the most challenging,whether they think the points system for completeing certain achievements during a challenge are worth while etc etc. I was already thinking about creating a FMF challenge league and maybe even a FMF challenge cup depending on the success and the number of replies in this thread, all of which are ideas I might add and might not actually work but hey anythings worth a shot eh people.
P.S. Thanks for reading and of course anything posted inside here we be considered within reason.

My idea probably sucks coz it wouldnt work very well but it could.
I think we should have a big online game with people playing as the full division, eg all 20 teams from the prem. And to avoid lagging issues, there should only be 5 people allowed on at a time because there aint gonna be 20 people around simultaneously but there will be guarenteed at least 4 or 5 who can spend time doing transfers etc whilst the other 15 arent around, and then another 5 can do the same, and so on!
Hope that kind of explains it, please can people gimme opinions? |

Unless once the twenty were decided, an agreement was concluded as regards to transfer targets - ie evreyone stated their desired transfers and listed players .. then as TH stated the 5 online could manouvre in the transfer market knowing the transfer ins & outs...?  | | | | | | | 15-02-08, 10:19 AM | #7 (permalink) | | The next Harry Redknapp Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Birmingham (Born an Bred in Salford tho :P) Posts: 685 Thanks: 64 Thanked 111 Times in 94 Posts |

Yer just think it would work better coz I've lost players in Joe's game for barely nothing because aaron has lied to Joe!  I meant do it so you have 4 groups of 5 people and each day a different group plays the game, so over 4 days everyone will play once, and can sort out transfers etc, and if they need any help from others to get transfer deals through then they could ask! |

I don't think that would work because it would be so slow. And you can't guarantee that everyone will keep it going. |

how about someone name me a team to do a guide on, and someone crate a challenge on that team to coincide with the guide
just a thought not 100% on this though |
Current Game
SV Red Bull Salzburg
Austrian Bundesliga Champions 2007/2008
Austrian Super Cup Winners 2008
Hang on I better say "Red Bull, it gives you wings" or ill be sacked | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to John10 For This Useful Post: | | | 17-02-08, 12:27 AM | #12 (permalink) | | The next Harry Redknapp Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Birmingham (Born an Bred in Salford tho :P) Posts: 685 Thanks: 64 Thanked 111 Times in 94 Posts |

how about a good scottish challenge...
take a team from the scottish 3rd division and win the SPL and the Champions League, using only british players throughout.
there will be no time limit on the challenge

I think there should be a challenge of who can have the best Youth System. It would work over a long period of time and the idea of the challenge would be to have as many players as you can coming through your youth system as possible.
The way of recording it would be a player that has come through the youth system (under the age of 17 when they joined) that has made over 10 appearances for the club in the league. The aim would be to be a successfull team in 5 seasons but at the same time, have as many youth products as possible.
This would be a big test to peoples managerial skills because sometimes youth team players arent League standard! |

You could sign players which would be a base for a successfull team but the more youth players as possible the better. Or you could be like an Arsene Wenger type manager and pick up loads of players under the age of 17 so then they would still count as your youth system eg. Fabregas at Arsenal, Richards at Man City etc. What you cant do though is just bung a load of youth players into your 1st team and then get relegated 3 seasons on the trot! The team would have to be successful or at least have a safe mid-table position in the division you're working in. |

The words of Alan Hanson that came back to haunt him. But can you make them haunt him again. Take a team to the quadruple with a team with no players over the age of 24. You cannot start with a "big 4" team, and you must do this in 7 years Good luck  |
