Ana — FM 2011: Cheonan, Round The World Challenge!

Hi everyone!

So the snow is causing havac in my area so I cant get to work, so I am stuck at home on my own so I thought I would give this challenge a go I saw over at Sortitoutsi.

The premise is to win all the champions leagues in every region (South America, North America, Africa, Europe and Asia) In one game/save. The rules state you have to begin unemployed and start with a sunday league reputation.

If you fancy joining in just start up a new topic and post at the forum https://www.footballmanagerstory.com/forum/, remember this is a rather big challenge in leagues I have never been in so will be fun and also a steep learning curve!

————————————————————————————————-

So loaded leagues from places I have never played in, also none of the big leagues (England, Germany, France, Italy or Spain) as I want to have a game away from the usual places!

After a few months and applying to every job I could I found one I liked, in South Korea! My new team is Cheonan who play in the N league.

A brief history of my new club so have a lot of work on my hands, I dont think I will be able to win the Asian champions league with this side but this will hopefully be a good stepping stone to a better job, fingers crossed!

They were already 14 games into the season when I joined and were into their sort of break period so the transfer window was open. They only play 28 games and as you can see their is no outstanding side. Top four qualify for the playoffs and only one side can win promotion to the K league.

My contract, as you can see we have a decent transfer budget and a very decent wage structure, finacially the team is very good so a good base to start my career.

Transfers in and out were very difficult, as I dont know any players! I got a scout who wasnt great but at least found me some players that I could judge. I also got an assistant manager after a while so he should also help me a little.

I opted to ‘improve’ the squad by buying a few players! I am not sure if they are better per say but thats half the fun of managing a club you have never heard off!

Lee Sang-Tae

My first buy was this this fullback on a free transfer! Considering we didnt have a left back at the club he has to be an improvement!

Joao Paulo

So Brazilians seems to make up a big part of the better teams in the K league (one above us) so I bought this defender on a free. Rules state I can have 3 foreign player (foreign = none South Korean) and two in my first eleven. He will be my only none Korean signing as I cant find anyone else!

Kim Hong-Ki

Its really hard to find any under 30 players who arnt rubbish! So bought this striker who has some good times in the past! A fairly ok striker despite having no pace, hopefully he can score some goals!

Hwang Yun-Suk

Well he is experienced! And tall! Very tall, at 6’4” he towers over most of our team which is one of the smallest in the league, looking around height seems to be a massive advantage so I bought this striker to kick the ball at, England style!

Thats it for this first post, hopefully some people will join in and try this really hard challenge but it should be fun and different from any game you have played! I will update frequently when I feel their is something to say, you can also check out other people’s stories over their (Sortitoutsi).

I am not affiliated with that site! Just trying to give credit to the site where I found the challenge so they dont get mad at me!

I will run this story alongside my other story (Coruxo one) and am looking forward to see if I can complete this challenge.

Thanks for reading,

Ana. xx
