New Lions Born in Guiseley (FM15 Story)

Recommended Posts

We will be using the default database the idea that I seen by Wynne from Youtube about only buying Regens aka Youth Intake so that is all I will be using for signing players in this game. I want to become the first Canadian to make his name known in the England league in FM15 save.

 

Just a bit of history of myself

 

Growing up in Hamilton, Ontario Canada I was a huge hockey fan and after completing the SWMM scouting and GM course I knew what it would take to run a successful franchise. However there was no shot in becoming a team manager in hockey unless you had your foot in the door or basically knew someone. Like the saying goes it’s not what you know it’s who you know. So I decided to take my management skills and apply them to a soccer team. So here I am sitting in my Hamilton apartment as i just finished my smww hockey gm and scouting course I have decided to give up my hockey dream and begin my soccer manager team. After a poor past couple of seasons it was known in the media that the Guiseley FC has recently fired their Manager and has begun their search for their new manager in hopes to change the franchise around and build their club. As I look at the possible ideas to help change the club I would decide to fax my resume to the ownership of Guiseley FC and after a few interviews as a canadate for the manager position I got a few phone calls later to find out that out of all of the managers that they interviewed i was the best one for the job so now I have been named as the new Guiseley FC Team Manager.

 

As far as nations database goes I have selected the following countries

 

2015-08-22_00040_zpsmz1qyexa.jpg

 

We will be using England’s start date to begin our save

 

I have also decided to go with Canada as my 1st nationality as that was where i was born and Dutch as my second nationality as I have Dutch and Italy as my other nationalites.

 

I have decided to go in the middle at the Managerial style (National B License and Sunder League Footballer both based on Guiseley bages)

We also have an injury in our club:

 

D – Ryan Toulson (damaged cruciate) – out 4 weeks to 2 months

 

I have approached the board about increasing the junior coaching budget as we are building our clubs within our youth intake and regions once we get higher up in the league.

We have scheduled 9 pre-season friendly games only because we have 2 tactics we want to try out with our club and during the pre-season friendly schedule each tactic , so each tactic will get 4-5 friendly games to see how well our club reacts to them or as some would say a week.

 

The pre-season schedule so far for the 3 clubs (Main/U21/U18):

 

Main:

 

July 12th vs. Bradford

33-1 Oxford City, 33-1 Harrogate, 40-1 Tamworth, 40-1 Guiseley, 40-1 Hyde

 

Having priced your team at 40-1, the bookmakers obviously believe that you are one of a number of teams in with a serious chance of promotion. They feel that as long as you perform to your capabilities there is no reason why you shouldn’t be in a promotion spot come the end of the season.
