Default Football's first "invincibles"!

Football's first "invincibles"!

In the 1901 season, Preston North End went unbeaten in every competition they played in. They won them all.

In the modern day, it is near impossible. But why don't you have a go.

100 years on, Preston are struggling in the championship, with average players, and not too much money.

What you must do, is take this tatty Preston team, build them up over a few years, and eventually rule Europe with them.

Go unbeaten with Preston for one whole season. Winning every competition while ur at it.

p.s If you think this is easy, try doing it with only English players

Sounds like a fun challenge. I like a FM challenge which is combined with some history facts. Like in this case, bringing a club who was once so great back to the top. Love it and might go for it!

MUFC, over a few season, but remember it took Preston 20 years after football started to do this. It should take you less

Can't be done in the first 3-4 seasons or so without cheating (repeating matches, scout, fake money etc). Not really a challenge because whoever pulls it (and if he really sticked to playing fair) is just one very very lucky guy.

Well isn't a challenge something you can actually do? I can come up with impossible ones too you know, take a team from Blue Square N&S and win the Champion's League with a 10 goal difference in your first season. There you go, I challenge you :) No offence to you Seth :)

How hard is this :@ !?!? Tried this with barcelona on fm07, got to 16th game of la liga and it all came crashing down thanks to getafe! An interesting idea seth, but one for the more rhino skinned amongst us! I managed a whole season unbeaten, on LMA before with Juventus in serie B but preston is gonna take some doing!!!!!

Yeah but mate are you seriously going to play for 20 years in the hope of finding the elusive one unbeaten season? Not that likely unless you try cheating is there?!!
