Has anybody here ever attempted the Pentathlon? That is, winning the Champions League in each of the five confederations. I'm having a go at it right now, starting off with Jamaica's Waterhouse FC in CONCACAF.

Started playing with Chelsea for the first time since FM11 and just finished my first season. Reached the COC Final, FA Cup semis, CL semis and finished fourth in the league after Arsenal bottled an 8 point lead on me in the last three rounds. Not very impressive but much more so when we consider the fact I sold Ba, Torres, Ivanovic, Luiz and Cole in the summer without replacing them with anyone except Ricardo Rodriguez and instead played the likes of Boga, Ake, Christensen for +15 games each and made Kalas a starter who was given 45 games. I don't really like to start with a team that can buy almost anyone but because I wanted to play with Chelsea I decided I'd start a project of promoting some youth players the club already has and try developing them.

Kalas really surprised me, didn't matter whether I played him at RB or CB and he always performed much better than any other defender I had despite most of them having much better attributes. After Hazard, who scored 24 goals in all competitions, Kalas even had the highest average rating of all my players and also won Chelsea's POTY award.

For the second season I'm planning get Lukaku, Chalobah, Zouma and Courtois back. Already sold Cech, Ramires, Willian and Salah to make room for them. Might try to buy James Ward-Prowse or Ross Barkley to play alongside Chalobah in midfield but not sure yet.

Oh. My. God. I miss this game so much. I haven't played in years.

My best ever save was FM 07.

Started with Chelsea. Was there 8 years and won 7 league titles including 3 trebles in 3 consecutive years. Got bored of all the winning so left for Newcastle. in 4/5 years i won the CL and thw following years World Club Cup. Left for Blackburn who were in the Championship. Won the FA Cup somehow and then got them promoted. Was at Bristol City when my computer died and i lost everything. :cry:

In all that time i also won the 2010 World Cup with England, The Euro's with Italy, can't remember what year, and took Norway to the 1/4 final of the World Cup.

Immense save that i will never ever be able to beat!

Playing with Schalke. Won the League in my first season. First season i bought Ter Stegen.

Now starting my second season. Bought Wellington Nem for 18.75 million (euros), Luke Shaw for 16.75 million ( Really happy about this. Southampton relegated so he was unhappy and they had to sell him really cheap.)

Also got a back up ballwinning midfielder and a back up right back. Both on free transfers. Rode and Villagra.

Also bought a couple of regens but nothing spectacular.

Holy fuck. How are you guys so good? I just recently started and couldn't win to save my life.

Well i had a draw with Liverpool, Beat Man City, lost to galatassaray. Beat swansea. It's hard! I'm about to get fired!

Mate, go through this site : http://www.footballmanagerstory.com/ and especially this guide : http://www.footballmanagerstory.com/fm-2013-hints-and-tips-for-beginners-and-not-only/ (it's for 2013 but I'd imagine most of that would apply to 2014 as well).

Any specific problems - post here. I'd gladly help (and I'm sure others will too).

Just keep at it, really. It's a very addicting game once you get the hang of it :)

Pentathlon latest: I left Waterhouse for Argentina's San Lorenzo in December 2011. Then I left that job for Santos Laguna of Mexico in January (39 days in the San Lorenzo job until the board got mad at me declaring my interest in every job that became available and said they'd sack my whoring ass if I didn't resign). I got to the final of the CONCACAF Champions League, only to be thwarted despite dominating the second leg, losing the tie on away goals.

I see the Pohang Steelers job is about to become available...

Actually, I might give up on the Pentathlon and instead try and change clubs as often as possible in some sort of roided up journeyman save. :D
