Decided for the obvious DSR de Paris et Île-de-France. And the choice fell upon the lowest-estimated-valued team:


F. C. Melun

Alright, here we go!




I also said I was going to reshape this club top to bottom :D




This is the squad, I already started offering contracts to most grays.

sounds cool ... I'll be following ... bonne chance en France, mec (Y) ... après 5 saisons, j'espère qu'il y aura, enfin, un derby [dans Ligue 1] de l'Île-de-France (contre «le putain PSG») (H) ...

Jesus, you (and Robbie) showing off your language proficiency is so annoying and masturbatory I can practically smell the stink of genital sweat and moist tissues.

And it's against the rules, cut it out.

Plus that would've been more impressive if I hadn't known French since I was three years old. :D


But I appreciate it guys, will try to give as much updates as I can (Y)

I know French too, I also know to shut the **** up and speak in American goddamnit!

Anyway, this does look good, how does the league structure work in the lower French leagues?

Here are some of the very bad, very cheap players I signed. (by very cheap I mean free, since we're an amateur club there's no wages (Y) )










And here's the avant-garde, progressive tactical scheme I came up with. I call it the 4-3-3.




Still, it should be enough to see me go up, judging by other team's players. I feel Coulibaly's going to be a legend. Let's go Melun! :D



By the way Az, it goes like this:
I'm currently in the Amateur, "Honour Division", in the Superior Regional Division of the Paris District.

Top two teams gain promotion to the Ligue de Paris Île-de-France.--->after that, The top team gains promotion to the CFA 2-A--->after that, the Top team gains promotion to the CFA - A---->then the Top team gains promotion to the National--->then the Top 3 teams go to Ligue 2--->and finally the Top three teams go to Ligue 1.

So it's at least 3 years before I go national, and at least 5 until I'm at the First French Division.

Allez le Meluns!

Very cool idea, Fili. I'll be following, also for some motivation. Unfortunately I can't get into the game to save my own life... or rather destroy my own life, thinking about it. I might look around for some editor files myself, perhaps for Italy. Very cool.

The players don't look THAT bad by the way. Coulibaly is a superhuman beast in those divisions.
 
I'm really interested in this save, much less cliched (notice my use of american) than using lower English leagues or being bankrolled by oligarchs in Eastern Europe..

Hopefully this will give me the motivation to start my own FM journey.

If tall strikers are good in this version and if you come up with the right tactic you can be a beast with Coulibaly.

What I noticed in FM2011 was that amazing players will agree to sign for amateur teams. I got Gai Assulin to sign for Waterloo Dock in the Liverpool County Premier League, level 11 in the piramid.

I'm loving this because as the club is new (in the database) and the guys who did this patch didn't into as much detail as to put every history of the French regional division clubs, I'm "creating" all of the clubs records, legends and icons :D I'm pretty sure I'm going to get out of here with a stadium named after me (H)

Look like some amazing players for how low in the pyramid you are. Not sure about using only one striker in a low league because bad players don't reliably score, but you should go up easy.

Well he's doing good so far with 10 goals in 5 games, but I know what you mean, so let's see. Anyway I had him as Advanced Forward but I'm giving him a go as Target Man with supply to his head in the next few games.

And as sure as the air we breathe, FM denies me the experiment:






Btw, having a not-awful keeper in these kinds of leagues is one hell of an advantage!
