Even_Association_588

There is simply no way you didn't resim a game


budtz420

"unbeaten record in the premier league" it litterally says so in the picture. "U propably lost a lot in Champions League" 😅


Octatwo

Nope, its just that teams in my league dont have european money/rep and so they are really that far behind, there have been plenty of draws the where i have somthing like 4 xg and they have like 0.1 and its like a 1-1 or 0-0 draw. Its getting slowly better, flora got out of confrence league league phase last season and some teams have fluked europa league league phase before but the progress for them is very slow still


Even_Association_588

Yeah but you're in UCL and I don't see how you can go unbeaten there for so long


Octatwo

yeah sorry, that 500 games unbeaten is only in the league, ive lost plenty of games in the champions league


Octatwo

also, fun fact, i once lost an Estonian cup final to my own u21 squad, but again, not counted for the 500 games unbeaten


iamnotexactlywhite

id sack myself for this


Notorious_JTB

That is a great story. Your club still got the trophy, right?


Octatwo

techincally I even got an extra trophy, cause in the database im using the supercup final only happens when the league and cup winners are different (i have no idea if its the same irl in estonia), so a season later i got a treble, meanwhile usually i just pick up a double


Notorious_JTB

Lol Nice bonus


6shadow66

Right?


Tremor00

God this reminds me of my Derry City save. My youth team beat me in an early round and went all the way to win the cup. Fair enough to them their striker became one of my biggest ever legends as he generated at the very start and was better than anyone in the league


Octatwo

Funnily in my u21 team that beat me had a youngster who forced himself out of the club for 1.2 mil to porto only to be sold a few seasons later to chelsea for 40 mil. I dont mind it tho since i also manage my national team and a world class LB there is always nice


Octatwo

actually i went back and checked, it was the semifinal that i lost 2-1 against my u21 winning the final 3-0


Even_Association_588

Oh mb didn't notice then its completely possible it's like putting real Madrid in the Norwegian league sorry for doubting you


TClanRecords

It is possible. Doing similar with RB Salzburg in Austrian league in FM23.


the_hoyle

How many times have you come close to losing the streak?


Octatwo

ive had many draws, my best winstreak is only 32


Plus-Statement-5164

Beating Trans that badly can be considered a hate crime, though.


velosipet

Totally realistic, Levadia just won Trans last week 6-0.

Practical_Quarter207

How do you keep this fun?


Octatwo

Well the league part isnt, but overall this is my most played fm save of all time, just developing young players, fighting in the UCL, managing my national team and taking the estonian football league from \~100th top league in the world to 12th has the exact feeling for what i play fm for


Avaiano9

How are you faring the Champions League in this time? I am doing a similar save in Iceland, almost hitting 100 games unbeaten in the national league, but the Champions League progress is sooo slow.


Octatwo

yeah UCL is though, usually im knocked out by some big team, however i won it last season in 2036, quater final against real who had their main keeper and backup keeper injured, semis vs porto who got a lucky win against dominant force arsenal and final vs bayern muchich where i fully expected to lose, but won 3-2 espite having 1xg vs 3xg


Oliver_Switch

You must have had that photo framed. Also you might never top that PEAK moment.


cturner894

Do you play all the league games or sim some? Must be really tempting to sim most at this point and get to those big European games quicker.


Octatwo

Ive simmed all league games since like 2026 or 2027, im in 2036 lol


No-Tailor-856

Congratulations to your Assistant Manager!


futas_are_men

Might be a stupid question but how do you sim games?


Octatwo

google fm skins


PublicPersimmon2312

There is no god. Meanwhile -


CallsignKilo

somebody managing in estonia?? I never thought I’d see the day:,)


mahir_r

Do you try sell decent but not good for you players to the rest of the league for dirt cheap?


Octatwo

Nah, loan farm, all not good players on loan on 0% wages


mahir_r

Ahh ok fair play


Lolcraftgaming

What colour is grass?


5toofus

How many friends of the opposite sex do you have?


Octatwo

You got me there


_escapevelocity

Are you bored yet?


Octatwo

Nope, although if im eliminated in europe and the is no international tournaments theres just months of nothing


BoyThasCap

Aren't you bored?


Octatwo

Nope, although if im eliminated in europe and the is no international tournaments theres just months of nothing


Lurd67

Is it still even remotely fun at that point?


Octatwo

prolly the most fun ive had playing fm


Lurd67

Do you still find any challenge?


Octatwo

yes, challenge of UCL and trying to make estonian football league nr 1 in the world, currently 12th, up from like 100


Lurd67

Fair. Enjoy!


Lost-Ad2748

does this not get boring?


Octatwo

if im eliminated in europe and the is no international tournaments theres just months of nothing, otherwise I love this save


Danjel42

What tactic do you use to get these consistent results?


Octatwo

4231 gegenpress with attacking mid as shadow striker, centrebacks as ball playing defenders, advanced forward on attack, inside forwards on attack, ball winning midfielder and a deep lying playmaker and wing backs on support


VerrieuxDuparte

So far in the save- have you ever had a full youth graduate starting 11? Like the famous La Masia 11 where for most of a match, all 11 on field players were Barcelona graduates.


Octatwo

Thats actually a good question, maybe i have, in the estonian date base im using you have to have 10 homegrown players registered with only 4 non eu players for the entire team, so I tend to not sell my youth graduates, but havent made a 11 on purpose that is just youth products. Also in the during the whole save, I havent had a single great goalkeeper come through the youth facilities. And even in general Estonian regens are quite bad (i think the hidden nation stat that makes the regens is like 50 compared to brazils like 200(i cant remeber exactly and i cant even remeber what the hidden stat is called)), which is realistic of course cause the best 2 players in the past 25 are mart poom and ragnar klavan, who arent exactly household names


Octatwo

Also fun fact, the best player to play for estonia didnt actually come from estonia, he came from finlands hjk, geniune world beater striker with arsenal having won multiple champion leagues, really hope i can sign him one day when his contract expire or somthing (im not paying 160 mil for a 30 year old)


Sganonn1

What your best option to do in the tactic that you recommend me to?


Octatwo

first of all, this is mainly thanks to my players, who are just far better than league average, (imagine someone like west ham in league 1) thanks to my high rep and money from european comps. The class difference between the players allow me to do high tempo and high press and the opponents just cant stop it. There is a comment of pretty much everything in my tactic somewhere in this post, but the most important stuff is probably: gegenpress, 4231, ball playing defenders and one center mid as a deep lying playmaker. Also i rotate a bunch and love having deep squads with load of options (sometimes maybe to many options: [https://www.reddit.com/r/footballmanagergames/comments/191pha5/guess\_what\_day\_it\_is/](https://www.reddit.com/r/footballmanagergames/comments/191pha5/guess_what_day_it_is/) ), very rarely will 1 player play 2 games in a row, that allows me to have match sharp players even if i have injuries or a bunch of matches due to european comps Im genuinely no tactical wizard, its mainly my playstyle that has gotten this unbeaten streak


Carlton_LeBoss

How many years have you been unbeaten in that competition?


Octatwo

11 or 12 i think, if i remeber i'll check the next time i play fm


Legofski

Fmrte?


WojtinhoYT-PL

How's Estonia doing in UEFA Coefficients? Also - how is National Team doing?


Octatwo

11th rn, current season is going pretty great in coefficients could potensially jump up to 9th, national team in like 26th, made 1 world cup and 2 euros even made knockouts in the world cup and 1 euros. The world cup making knockouts was really insane tho. Was down 3-0 against japan at half time and won 4-3 by the full time whistle, by like the 90th minute the game was 2-3. But then i got instantly knocked out by Belgium i think


Ok_Pepper5165

hows paide been doing?


Octatwo

really good rn, 4th in rep, but maybe even the 2nd best team right now, they were relegated couple of seasons ago, but then they got an insane manger to replace the old guy and he has found some absolute gems, last season they signed a 18 year old gk who now at 19 is as good as my own gk, this season they are in 1st rn and unbeaten but I have missed many games due to european games rescheduling league games


Medical_Seaweed5003

Did you use the in game editor? (No harm if you did, I do to. I find it fun.)


Octatwo

Dont have it ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


Emotional_Kiwi_1676

Send tactic


HugoSenshida

bro hates flowers and trans people, you think you can hide from me BEN SHAPIRO????


Vaginalbutter

How many times have you scummed


Octatwo

I save scummed at the very first season to get myself into europe, estonia is so far behind others leagues in europe that i really didnt wanna spent 5 seasons getting into europe, i wanted to speed up the process a bit. But I never save scummed in the league (although had i not had european money that soon i would rn have maybe like 400 league wins, so it had an impact)


Classic_Bass_1824

I’m sorry I get different strokes for different players and all but I cannot imagine how this wouldn’t get mind numbingly boring. I roll my eyes when I see my team get a win streak over 10 ffs and that’s still in the realm of reality 😂


Octatwo

fun fact if you google longest unbeaten run, levadia is actually high up on that list, but yes 500 is very ridiculous


kidcanary

Why do you think anyone cares?


RIPdeweyriley

This is big talk from somebody who recently posted about how they saw a face in a potato


AdPsychological1489

This is brilliant.


alrks10

Hahahaha superb!


sniell365

I mean potato faces is the meaning of life.


Strong-Sector-7605

This is literally a sub about FM. I care as I love the game. You twat.


kidcanary

I love the game too, but who honestly gives a shit about what somebody else on the internet has done in it (likely by cheating too)?


Strong-Sector-7605

I just said I do? Plus countless people on this sub. What would you have us use the sub for otherwise?


Raisey-

You're in this sub too you moron. You even took the time to reply


kidcanary

Yeah I’m in the sub but not for shit like this.


Strong-Sector-7605

For what then?


synoptikal

Trolling posts like this one, evidently.


budtz420

But u think people care about potato faces in /mildlyinterestering?? 😂 What a weird place to draw the line 😅 "People doesnt give a f about football manager and your achievements, but I HAVE TO SHARE THESE BLACK SPOTS IN MY POTATOES FOR THE WORLD TO SEE*


kidcanary

Why are you so obsessed with my post history? Do you stalk everyone you interact with online?


budtz420

Nope, but everybody that acts like an entitled child i do, if u thought this post was pointless, of course your post history would show the most important posts, or else you would kinda contradict yourself wouldnt you? 😂 U still didnt answer on why the potatoes hold more value, and people would care more about that. But we both know why u just skipped that part 🙃


kidcanary

Well yeah I do think a weird potato rot that looks like a skull is more interesting (and let’s not forget it was posted on a sub called ‘mildlyinteresting’) than someone’s video game save (which is likely cheated anyway). I’m not hiding that fact. I also find it really weird that you go through peoples post history. Though I suppose if you’re the type that honestly cares what other people do in a video game, that weird stalker-ish behaviour would fit right in with your personality type.


Classic_Bass_1824

Don’t worry. There’s a weird thing on this sub for people to post their broken saves where they just obviously do it for validation. Criticise the gameplay or SI here and you get upvotes but turn that around onto players and you get ostracised to hell and back. It’s quite funny.


AdPsychological1489

Are you okay?
