FA Cup results
We also made a real good go of the FA Cup, waltzing through to the 5th round after enjoying an easy early draw. We then beat Manchester United at home 4-1 and Chelsea away 4-1 to reach the semi-final where Man City proved too much as we were eliminated 2-0.
League Cup results
This competition felt like our best chance of silverware and therefore featured our strongest players. The risk paid off as Stoke and Birmingham were brushed aside, then Wolves took us to penalties but my boys held firm. Our semi-final opponents were Newcastle and proved to be no match as the Seadogs won the away leg 4-1 and drew at home 1-1. Through to the final where Arsenal await, finally my chance for revenge after losing to them in the FA Cup final during 2018.
League Cup final vs Arsenal
Venue: Wembley
Attendance: 90,000
Starting formations:
Back in 2018 Arsenal played a very weak side against me (remember we were in League One back then.) But this season was completely different, the London club had decided to go all out and featured their top talent to secure some silverware. Its obvious who the favorites were but I had a strong side myself, the defense seemed to be getting more and more solid with every game while Vieira had a lethal touch upfront. I’ll leave you to watch the highlights below and some wonderful goals…but who scored them? Arsenal are in blue and Scarborough are in red.

Match stats:
Arsenal shaded the possession but Scarborough had the best of the chances and more importantly, made the most of them too. Both goals came on the break as Vieira and Mangan caught the Arsenal defense napping to get through on goal. I always felt in control of the game and that was probably the most pleasing aspect as my side lifted their biggest trophy to date.
Europa League results
Going into Europe for the first time sounds the battle horn for any club and it was no different for Scarborough. I had no idea how far this club could go during the campaign but wanted to give this competition my best shot. We had one qualifying game to play and that led to the 6-2 aggregate thrashing of Groningen, now it was time for the group draw which could decide our fate in the competition.
Despite been drawn from the bottom seed I landed a reasonable group playing alongside Lille, Hajduk and HSV. We won 5 of these matches and drew just one away to the German side Hamburg. My best result came with the 5-0 thrashing of Lille, even I was shocked but delighted to reach the 1st Knockout round.
We obviously finished top of our group and HSV joined us in the next round finishing 6 points behind in second. My favorite stat from the group stages is defensive, my boys conceded just one goal from all 6 matches.
The first Knockout round drew Scarborough against Sampdoria, not the easiest opponents but certainly one I’d expect to beat and that is exactly what we did winning 4-1 on aggregate. The 2nd round draw pitted us against Spanish opposition in Valencia. A slightly tougher test, but we still prevailed with a 4-2 home victory and 0-0 draw away.
The quarter-finals drew Scarborough against French side Bordeaux, while they had a good team I didn’t feel they could threaten as much as Valencia had in the previous round. And I was right, the first leg was an easy 3-1 victory and the second leg an even easier 2-0 victory. When the semi-final draw came out my initial reaction was relief as Espanyol came out the hat. But then I examined their team and realized the Spanish side had gone from strength to strength and enjoyed a very similar if not better squad than myself. This showed during the first leg away as the Spanish giants dominated and deserved their 2-1 victory. However, the second leg was a different story, my side morphed into some sort of scoring machine and thrashed Espanyol 6-0 to qualify for the final!
Europa League final vs Benfica
Venue: Parc Des Princes, Paris
Attendance: 54,453
Starting formations:
Benfica have a very good side including a prolific goalscorer in Doumbia, while I was missing key players like Ross, Simonin and Mangan due to fixture congestion I still had hope. The first half was very nervy and both sides seemed to be fluffing perfectly good opportunities so the scores remained even. With the second half whistle my boys went up to fifth gear and threw everything at the Portuguese club but Benfica proved very strong defensively. Despite a great performance from Scarborough the game finished 0-0 and went into extra-time where the deadlock still couldn’t be broken…so onto penalties we go!
Penalties: Onto penalties and I selected my best five takers, then decided to leave the rest to chance. After clicking continue and play I checked the teams motivation and almost all of them looked ‘confident about penalties’. This gave me hope and the end result was…
5-4 to Scarborough!!!!! We scored all our penalties my keeper saved Benfica’s last spot kick meaning the Seadogs have lifted their first ever Europa League trophy! An outstanding end to the most amazing season!
Squad stats and finances
After playing so many games and achieving such great results I have a lot of thanks to offer my players. Pyda and Finke chipped in with 14 goals between them from centre back while Mokoena set the record for assists at 17 but was closely followed by fellow CM’s Ross and Anderson who hit 16 assists. My main goal threat was Vieira with 32, but Mangan scored 19 from the right and even assisted 16 while my main left winger, Carlos, scored 12 goals and assisted 8.
Before I show you the finances I’d better show a few things that effected them come the seasons end. Firstly my board accepted a request to improve the youth recruitment which was very poor and still is.
Then they responded positively to my training and youth facility upgrade request. Both will be upgraded at a cost of £3.9 million, the youth facilities are still pretty poor but my training facilities will be at an acceptable level after this recent upgrade.
And then finally the board announced plans to increase the stadiums capacity which was certainly needed. £7.6 million will more than double the stadiums capacity from just under 6,000 to 12,500.
After investing more than £10 million in the clubs facilities and stadium the board also pumped more money into the bank balance which to be honest wasn’t necessary but I won’t complain ;) A massive £28.5 million was invested and that should secure a good transfer budget for next season I’d assume.
£41.7 million is my bank balance come the seasons end, now if it weren’t for my generous chairmen and his investments this figure would be more like -£12 million…I admit that the club is been run out of the chairman’s pocket, but this is only because he keeps pumping money in anyway…in a few seasons time my transfer action should start to make money which will hopefully even out the books and make Scarborough self sufficient.
Well that is all for today and season 10 of this epic journey. Scarborough lifted both the League Cup, Europa League and qualified for Champions League football next season. Who knows, maybe I’ll be wearing that dusty old suit sooner than we think lol :) Until next time thanks for reading and please feel free to comment below.

Excellent stuff again Darren, the title was mighty close but you still have plenty of reasons to celebrate after grabbing two trophies. That chairman of yours is the best I’ve seen in any version of the game but one of the best managers surely deserves such spoils ;)
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 10:22
Thanks Johnny, it was a great season and the chairmen is the bets I’ve seen too, he just keeps throwing money around. While its good to get going I want to make the club stable soon though and start pulling profits together off our own backs. Though in reality that will take a good few years until the stadium is upto par.
chris haigh
18 марта, 2012 at 10:14
That was a great read darren! Like you said, im sure you’ll start raking the money in whe you start the transfers in a couple of seasons, that and champions league revenue! Well done :)
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 10:22
Thanks Chris, I hope we can start been more self sufficient soon…maybe a four year plan needs putting in place, I’ll have t think it over.
Kevin
18 марта, 2012 at 10:15
Hi Darren
I’ll go page by page if that’s okay? First up those young German defenders, they are very nice acquisitions indeed. Finke and Pyda should do you for a long time in your first team. What an unlucky finish to the EPL and football irony strikes again as a former player robs you of a first EPL title. Great finish though and second place is not to be sniffed at.
Your FA Cup run seemed a bridge too far after knocking out both United and Chelsea which in and of itself was just magnificent, though beating Arsenal in the Carling Cup final probably gave you some satisfaction? What a simply brilliant Europa League campaign and congrats on winning the final and in such a nail biting way to.
A great season again supported by a real money bags chairman – nice!!
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 10:29
Thanks Kevin, the EPL title was very close and so was the Europa League final…to be honest if I had to pick between them I’d choose the Europa League as I can go for the title anytime but only had the one chance at the Europa League. I was shocked by our FA Cup exploits too but when City came out of the hat it did seem like an impossible draw, I was just delighted to get one over on Arsenal after they beat us all those years ago. :)
The chairmen sure knows how to throw money around but as mentioned I am desperate to stop that as soon as possible. I want the club to be stable and work within its own bank balance but that may take years yet as the stadium makes challenging impossible.

18 марта, 2012 at 10:41
A great season Darren, you can be very proud like every season earlier! This story is very joyful to read, i couldn’t imagine that a so little team can go so far. And even further..
Anyway, congratulations for the two silverware and needless to say that i’m waiting for the next chapter :D
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 10:46
Thanks mate, lets hope the success can continue and as we dwindle down the help from my chairmen.
Malhar Bhadbhade
18 марта, 2012 at 10:55
oh wow!! what an unbelievable season Darren! congrats!! really has been an epic journey, and you almost won the premier league too! you secured some fantastic signings, and i think we will see something even more special from Scarborough next season! good luck! cheers :D
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 11:02
Thanks Malhar, I think we have reached the stage where challenging every season is a must…so while my focus remains on improving the squad and staying in all comps, I have one eye on the finances and trying to build a sustainable side…only problem is I can’t offload my big wage players until some youth has been raised so we’ll continue to lose money for a little while but that is the only negative.
Malhar Bhadbhade
18 марта, 2012 at 11:50
yeah, that will be the down side, but you’ve got an amazing chairman. and thats nothing to be apologetic for, you more than deserve all the money that you’re getting from him. just out of curiosity, does he love the club? because that can mean he will be there for a very long time. in my previous save at PSG, i had similar owners, but unfortunately, the owner changed after 5-6 seasons and i lost all the free money that he was investing in the club. so you should definitely make the most of his money while you can. good luck with next season mate, and dont worry, i think you have a fantastic chance of winning the premier league. and also, the turkish guy again didnt have the best season did he? why do you think he’s not playing to his potential?
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 13:04
The chairmen loves the club so he should be around for a long time yet, besides he only bought the club three season ago. As for Dincer I don’t know why he can’t reach his potential in game…his attributes are brilliant but he must have some hidden attributes that prevent him from performing well. Either way he’ll be seeing the door come summer.
Malhar Bhadbhade
18 марта, 2012 at 22:41
oh, thats sad :( but i guess you have to do whats best for the team.
saltwater
18 марта, 2012 at 11:09
It was the stab of irony that Shepard robbed you of the title, but to still finish second is incredible. Well deserving of the Europe League and the Carling cup and to be honest I’ve almost ran out of complementery things to say over the last 10 posts.
I cannot wait for the next post and I’d be damned if you don’t already have that suit on the ironing board!
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 11:10
Thanks mate, it has certainly been a wild ride and there’s still some way to go. I think the suit needs leaving out to dewrinkle for sure. :)
Martin F.M.J.S
18 марта, 2012 at 11:33
What a great season Darren, I said to you last time that I felt you would win the Premier League this season and I thought for a minute you where going to do it but what a effort. Congrats on the Europa League and the Carling cup that is a great achievement. Next season I hope you win the Premier League :D
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 11:43
Thanks Martin, I think we must challenge for the title again next season and hopefully put on a good show in Europe too but I want to start building a younger squad also.
David Faithfull
18 марта, 2012 at 11:56
Some fantastic signings mate and well done for winning the europa league!! so close in the premiership though!! from now are you hoping for premier league glory or champions league glory?
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 13:04
Thanks David, I want to focus on the EPL next season as Europe is a game of luck really…I am hoping to push for the domestic title and take my luck when it happens in the Champions League.
Jamie
18 марта, 2012 at 12:11
Another great season Darren, really enjoy reading these every week :) Got a great chance of winning the league next season and hopefully getting far in Europe, good luck :D
P.S I was the one last week who asked about how Bob Shepard was getting on, looks like he’s doing alright haha ;)
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 13:05
Thanks Jamie, I’m glad you’re enjoying the read. Shepherd is doing very well and seems to be one of the best English strikers around, he has a great strike rate for his country.
Sears
18 марта, 2012 at 12:12
That was an awesome season mate, it’s amazing how far you’ve taken the club in such a short space of time (with the help of that lovely chairman lol) I honestly think that you’ll win the PL next season, with a few more additions to that already talented squad of yours I can’t see anyone stopping you’re boys from lifting the title. Best of luck ;)
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 13:06
Thanks Sears, it was a great season and wouldn’t be possible without the chairmen. He really has put us on the fast track.
Tegar Triemanudigdo
18 марта, 2012 at 12:23
Wow! Simply amazing! I still amazed that you’ve managed the Europa League for your first appearance! It’s really amazing that your team managed to defy the odds here. And for the league, I think you’ll be considered title contender in upcoming years very soon based on the performance there.
Anyway, I’ll looking forward for your new adventure in Champions League, and I hope that you keep the promise if your team managed to win it. It will be outstanding achievement and memorable for the seadogs there.
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 13:08
Thanks Tegar, hopefully the great form will continue and I certainly will hold my promise, if we reach the CL final I’ll suit up!
vaibhavc
18 марта, 2012 at 12:26
The first thing I thought of when I saw the name Shepherd was your old striker, and I was right. He came back and haunted you, but it was a great effort. You managed to win the Carling Cup and Europa League, enjoy your success!
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 13:15
Thanks Vaibhav, its weird to see a player I signed in the BSN making it large at United.
Rob
18 марта, 2012 at 12:33
well i said at the end of kast season that you would win the title and you came ever so close, well done on the cup wins.
My prediction for next season is that you’ll win the legue by more than 10 clear points UTS!
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 13:22
Thanks Rob, while we have the squad to fulfill your prediction the top teams around us are far better in terms of quality so it’ll take some luck.

18 марта, 2012 at 14:01
Hi Darren,
I’v been reading your posts since back in your newcastle days in FM11 and I really think your fantastic.
I’m only 13 an d I hope some day I’ll be as good as you or Johnny or Kevin and all of you.
Back to the post and I like those German backs.Good buy.So unlucky in the prem but you more than made up for it with the Europa League and Carling Cup.That chairman is fantastic. Reminds me a bit of 1 I had in FM10 and every time I spent more than 5 or 6 million, hed pump 3 or 4 back into the balance !
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 14:40
Thanks Eoin, its just about attention to detail and investing a lot of time really. The chairmen has certainly helped us though and put us a few years ahead of ourselves. Thanks for reading.

18 марта, 2012 at 16:19
good work!! wow 2nd in the league..never expected that
btw can you make a post on how to premier league teams like you did in fm11 with Newcastle?
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 17:00
Thanks mate, I knew we’d challenge the top four but I didn’t think we’d go so close to the title. Unfortunately I lack the time for such post and guides at the moment but if I find the time I will see.

18 марта, 2012 at 17:52
Hi Darren
Congratulations on yet another extraordinary season with the Seadogs. In addition, the signings you made were fantastic. I can’t see anyone stopping you next season. If you can avoid any long term injures to key players, then the title will be heading to north Yorkshire. I have to ask, given the fact that you’re training facilities and youth recruitment had been pretty dire up till now, how did you manage to increase the younger players attributes?
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 18:30
Thanks Liam, as for the players increased attributes, the facilities don’t even make up for 30% of the players development, sure they help but with great coaches the correct schedules and the right type of player they will grow in any conditions. But the real key is first team football and I never sign a youngster over the age of 17 if I don’t intend to offer him at least 15 games a season.
Olanrewaju Joshua
18 марта, 2012 at 18:50
Hi Darren, great stuff again. That title was close. You’ll be winnig it next season definitely. And your Chairman definitely deserves all the trophies you can win him. He is wonderful. Looks like you didnt mention the FA cup. Is it me or you skipped it?
Joe Lance.
Darren Smith
18 марта, 2012 at 19:16
Thanks, it was a great season and the chairmen is a dream. I did mention the FA Cup, Europa League and League Cup all on the second page.

18 марта, 2012 at 21:34
Congratulations Darren, another great season! With a bit of luck you’ll be adding the Champions League and PL to your trophy cabinet pretty soon! Once again, great job and keep it up! :D

TheZiggy
18 марта, 2012 at 23:26
An amazing season to finish second in the EPL, just two points behind Man United, and also win the Carling Cup and Europa League. The signings you made were excellent. Your chairman is superb as well, throwing huge amounts of money into the club which has allowed you to progress so far the last couple of seasons. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if we see you win the league next season, and it will be interesting to see how far you can go in the Champions League.
Darren Smith
19 марта, 2012 at 11:47
Thanks mate, it was a superb season and many of the plaudits can go to the chairmen. He really has put us in the fast lane.
Stromson
19 марта, 2012 at 01:46
Talk about an amazing season! You really had us going there for a bit on the first page, and I thought for certain you’d been able to overtake Man United for the title! Alas, 2nd place is hardly something to scoff at. That’s also a pretty thrilling Europa league run. That’s some very impressive stuff, and I can only imagine how nervy those penalty kicks in the final must have been. :-P
This is some impressive work Darren, congratulations! Oh, and that owner…feel like sharing? :-P
Darren Smith
19 марта, 2012 at 11:48
lol, yeah I wanted you all to think we’d pipped United. :) I reckon the owner would have enough cash to share for sure, just a shame you can’t exchange between games :)
Luke N
19 марта, 2012 at 15:13
Hi Darren, another great season and your team really seems to be improving every year. Another couple of astute signings like you managed this year and I’ll be damned if you don’t bring Mr Bradshaw the PL next season! It was an excellent achievement winning the Europa League and I’m sure you’ll have a lot of success to come.
Just a small request if it’s not too much bother, would it be possible to see profiles for your home-grown talent in the form of Shepherd, Southern and maybe Ross? They’ve come a long way and it’d be nice to see how they’ve progressed and how they’ve performed in past seasons. Cheers and good luck with the rest of the story!
Luke N
19 марта, 2012 at 15:19
Sorry forgot to ask, how did Chelski end up getting CL football while Liverpool had to settle for Europa League? You can tell I’ve been managing in the lower leagues for a while :P
Darren Smith
19 марта, 2012 at 18:34
Thanks Luke it has been a great season indeed, unfortunately I am way ahead of this point in game and don’t have screenshots of the players back then for their history but I can post their profiles which are below, just note they are a year in advance of this post. As for Chelsea getting CL over Liverpool, its because they won the competition.

They’ve all turned into class acts I see, congratulations sir you seem to have a sharp eye for potential!
Ross especially appears to be one of the best of his generation in the advanced playmaker role, good to see he’s representing his country at the highest level as well.
Darren Smith
20 марта, 2012 at 18:51
Yeah Ross has probably been my favorite regen of all time, I want to keep him until he retires.
ScottyW
19 марта, 2012 at 15:24
Have to say, i am really impressed with how far you have got this little team. even without the chairman i’m sure you could have done it although it may have taken a few more years ;).
just out of curiosity how do you search for your players as you always seem to find gems?
On my carlisle save (newly promoted prem side) i’ve only found one good player when i was in league 1 and is now playing for barcelona also just won 2014 world cup golden boot award aswell as ECL golden Boot not bad for a centre back although i bet 6″8 did help ;)
Really enjoying the read
keep it up !!!!!!!!
Darren Smith
19 марта, 2012 at 18:37
Thanks Scotty, in terms of searching for players I just look everywhere. I start by having at least 6-8 scouts searching the World (not possible in lower leagues) I also do filtered searches under the players age and preferred attributes. I also manually look through Brazilian and Argentinian teams as well as all the major International U21 teams.
Mark
19 марта, 2012 at 16:02
That Sir was bloody awsome! Congrats fully deserved Europa League and Carling Cup crown and who knows, maybe the UEFA Super Cup next year?

Thanks mate, it would be nice to add the Super Cup next season but it depends on our pre-season really.

Darren, you are simply brilliant. I am 14 yrs of age and play fm everyday. The thing is though im starting to loose passion 4 it because i keep starting new saves coz i get bored. I dont no what i perfer as u prefer epl and championship teams. Could you help me, im realivley new to fm? And also everday in game what do u mean when u say u pay attention to every fine detail and not just a matter of pressing continue, what sort of things do u do?
Darren Smith
19 марта, 2012 at 21:02
Well my best recommendation is to take a break from the game and watch some real life football, that can help inspire you into a new save.
As for what I do, well I look into everything…if I see Chelsea getting beaten I check the opponents formation for future reference. I check my players development every week and the same for new players. I basically just explore the game constantly.
CsAtlantis
20 марта, 2012 at 01:38
A good double to end the season on a high note, and Champions League football this season, without the help of your generous Chairman this would not have happened so early
Your decision to add depth to the squad turned out well Darren, quite a few of your players clocked up more than 50 appearances :P
Good luck for next season
Darren Smith
20 марта, 2012 at 18:54

Hi Darren,
congratulations on your winning ways.
I really enjoy your site, but is it possible to add another writer who is struggling a bit more?
It seems like most of the stories here are «I bought some players, used this tactic and won everything. Now I just got promoted».
It seems to be getting a bit repetitive in some ways.
Kevin used to be that struggler, but he seems to be cleaning up in the MLS a lot more.
It would be a bit different to see someone getting demoted or fired.
Darren Smith

Sorry this is Johnny’s site and he makes all the decisions on who writes here not myself.

excellent use of the FMRTE feature, although it is very obvious. Oh well, each to their own if thats how you like to play the game. I class it as cheating myself.
Darren Smith
21 марта, 2012 at 12:07
You are obviously pretty bad at the game then if you assume that, I am probably the most anti-FMRTE person you’ll ever meet…its simple, slander isn’t accepted around here, carry on and you’ll be band.
Ana Garcia
22 марта, 2012 at 18:57
Super late post, my apologies.
Cant really add anything! Your progress has been amazing I would just like to see you struggle at least once though! :)
Your just a good player, interesting to see you use the same tactic I have this obsession with constantly tweaking my tactics every game even at times when I dont need too.
Quick question, your strikers seems to score loads of goals but during the season do they ever have a goal drought?
I mean I can have a forward score say 12 goals in 10 games or something then he wont score for weeks, its driving me mad! I tried rotating but that didnt work its always a ten or twelve hour drought and I cant seem to find an answer.
Anyways best of luck next season, am sure you will be champions very soon! :)
Darren Smith
22 марта, 2012 at 20:33
Thanks Ana, before FM 2011 I use to be obsessed with tweaking my tactics too but then as I developed my tactics I found that I could settle on one and just change the starting strategy.
As for my strikers, they do indeed go through bad spells but I always rotate them whether they are playing good or bad anyway so I don’t get caught off guard. I often find that if one of my strikers is on a drought I have to try someone else then bring him back for easier games where he’ll stand more chance of scoring and therefore get some confidence back.
Ana Garcia
24 марта, 2012 at 20:48
Thanks Darren,
I thought that it was only my players who went through bad spells but its good to hear that I’m not alone! :)
Darren Smith
24 марта, 2012 at 22:23
You certainly aren’t Ana, I reckon I could find a reason to sell all my strikers every season, but I keep telling myself I expect too much. :)
