Rattling through. Keep going and collect those air miles.

I think I’m going to need these air miles for a holiday by the time this has finished!

Fantastic progress made here with some more great finds.👍

Horrible result against Liverpool though so hopefully they can hold you off for the league.😄

So now I have you and @Rob wanting me to lose 😂

Cracking update that, I have alot of respect for players like CKR tbh. He's a decent player but instead of rotting at a mid table club he travelled the world and won trophies, likely earnt less money but he won stuff. Titles in Turkey, Scotland and Brazil! 

He's like the real life version of how I like using FMM I guess!

It’s been a few days since the first update mainly because since the update/hot fix I haven’t had a great deal of motivation to play the game but let’s not go into that here.

Israel 🇮🇱 

We finished the last update in Israel and just a reminder that this was our “guide”.

Having ticked off 3 nations in the first 5 league games. Obviously with the way that update went I was in high spirits going into this set of games despite not getting the job done in his first two games in the last update.

We had a couple of games after the international break and despite the decent results there was no combination of Amir goal and Davis/Aouar asssist.

After the West Ham game we had a tough League Cup tie against Liverpool and the result might be of interest to @Ashez and @1759.

Sorry lads but we knocked your boys out.

We then suffered a couple of dodgy defeats leading up to the next International break although we got back to winning ways against Everton.

We are still in Israel though.

After the International break we continued our winning ways but still we were stuck as I just couldn’t get that combination we needed 🙁

We did have an excellent win over Reading in the League Cup though as we continue our bid to win that trophy for the first time in this save.

A damn good win against Man City and a win in the Champions League before we took on Bristol City.

At the 10th attempt we finally fucking did it. This was Arif 4th goal of the season and finally we could move on thanks to a Aouar assist as well.

This was hard going and I decided to knock the session on the head with just one more nation ticked off as it was getting on my nerves!

For all this was a damn frustrating update I am still enjoying this save and let’s be honest the update before was the best so far so it’s not all bad.

We crack on with our journey with a new player signed and a new country to explore.

Thanks for reading and all comments are appreciated.

Disappointing result against the reds but nothing else seemed to go for you on this update so I can accept it.😀

I was thinking maybe Egypt next but you’ll probably surprise me!

That route does sound like the kind of thing I would do but it’s not the plan this time I’m afraid.

Nope not Egypt as the only really option was some fella called Salah but he doesn’t look my type tbh as he’s far too good 🙂

After the shit show of update 2 let’s hope we can get a few more nations visted this time.

We could have gone to Egypt next and entered Africa but I had in mind a different route to Africa mainly because Egypt didn’t have any players that really excited me other than Salah but I’m not spending that kind of dosh!

So we stayed in the Middle East and like 100’s before us we got balls deep in....

Jordan 🇯🇴 

I only had one Jordanian striker to pick from but he looks decent to me at least in the context of some of the dross I have used. He set us back £1.5m from Granada.

How ever good he looks he took us the scenic route and after 5 league games we still hadn’t reached the border.

We did knock out @Rob beloved Spurs to teach the League Cup semis though.

A home game against Stoke was when our stay in Jordan came to an end as Siaj got a penalty and smashed it home. We still needed an assist in the 2nd half and luckily Aouar set up the other 2 goals.

We stayed in the Middle East and travelled south into...

Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 

I had exactly zero, zilch, nada strikers to choose from so the obvious answer would have been not to go hear but who cares about obvious! I have a route planned and I’m sticking to it.

That means I went for a LB instead as he looks ok I guess and he cost an eye watering £10.75m from Torino.

I’m sure it won’t be a huge surprise that it took a few matches for him to score 😂

We got one foot in the League Cup final with a 4-0 Away win at Fulham in the 1st leg. A crappy lose to Spurs wasn’t great but in general our league form is good.

We finished the job and set up a final with Man City as we look for the final English trophy we haven’t won in this save yet. We did crash out the FA cup though 😕

Another two league games went by and still Al-Faraj hadn’t even scored 1 goal. This is the point in this save when I start to think this is it and we will be stuck with this player for the next 5 seasons!

Just like in Jordan it was 6th attempt lucky though as we had a home game against Palace. Just 4 minutes in and he got his goal but then just to make sure he got another after 26. With 4 goals scored Davis or Aouar must have got an assist surely?!?

It was that man Aouar again and again he had 2 assists.

We could finally head to Africa now as we crossed the Red Sea and landed in Sudan.

Sudan 🇸🇩 

We have sold a number of our guides to Bristol City in this save making a decent profit on a few so I threw them some of the money back as we splashed out our biggest sum yet on.

He came in for £20m and yes I was ripped off!!! 

He really isn’t worth that much but he was our route into Africa and I’m not short of money considering I haven’t made any signings other than our guides since the first transfer window.

We had the small matter of a League Cup Final against Man City so could we complete the full set of English trophies?

Spoiler

It wasn’t emphatic win but we got the trophy in the end.

We really where ripped off with this lad as 5 games in and no goals at all!

Could it be 6th time lucky as we played his former club Bristol City.

He got the goal and obviously Davis and Aouar were keen to get on the move as they both got assists.

We are closing in on our 3rd league title despite 4 games lost this season.

Foxy if you have IGE I strongly suggest u do this challenge made especially for you.

Assuming you will go through the 6 continents where people live (Antarctica is empty) i want u to make a team of 23 of the best players in that and win the Premier League. Think that your best guides are going to help you break the news to your compatriots by winning the league with them. However, I don’t want it to be too easy so there’s a limit of:

5 Europeans, educated in language 

2 North Americans, with the funding for your adventure

11 South Americans, to be the footballers

3 Asians, to be the brains of the journey

2 ANZACs to be the strong, funny spirited leaders and second in command after Foxy

Al-Faraj looks like a half decent left back. Must have been a right surprise for him when he turned up to training and got told he’s going to be playing up front!😆

It’s looking highly likely that you’ll hold off the mighty Liverpool for the title now unfortunately. 😡

Maybe Ethiopia next?

Welcome to the final update of season 3.

I have an announcement about the future of this save at the end of the post.

We have 5 league games left and had crossed over from Sudan into Ethiopia in the last update. Before we see if we could move on before th end of the season we have the small matter of a Champions League semi final against Barcelona who beta us last year in the final.

Spoiler

It wasn’t to be as we got completely outclassed at the Nou Camp and then despite a valiant effort in the home leg and looking like we might turn it round 2 late goals saw the dream over for another year.

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 

I had one Ethiopian to choose from and I guess the best thing to say about him was that he was cheap! 

A spent a whole £2k to get this guy from Canadian part timers Surrey Pegasus FC.

There really isn’t much to work with here and I will admit I am bricking it that he won’t ever score a goal.

Our league form is falling away towards the end of the season as we lost to both Chelsea and our biggest title rivals Liverpool and a 0-0 with Man City. I guess having a “striker” like Essa upfront doesn’t help but it’s a good job we had a nice gap at the top of the table.

Wins against Sheffield Utd and Man Utd did help but they didn’t yield an Essa goal.

We had one final game to play against Bournemouth at the Emirates.

Essa got himself a goal!

We needed an assist from either Davis or Aouar though.

Aouar was both hero and villain as he got an assist but also got himself sent of not long after. 

It was the perfect way to finish the season though and we can move on next season. This season started with such promise as we completed 3 nations in 5 games at the start but since then it has been a real grind so I’m glad Essa go the job done fairly quickly especially as he is probably the worst player I have used so far.

The Future of this Save

This save has gone well beyond the 80 league games (2 seasons and 4 games) I expected it to which is ok with me as I am enjoying it. Some random players have been used which if I had been worried about how long this journey took I would never have used because it was obvious that they would take a few games to score and then also hope that Davis or Aouar get an assist as well.

For all I am enjoying this save I have also become a jaded by it in this 3rd season. I 100% intend to complete our journey though.

I think this jadedness comes from the fact that I set the rule of building my squad in the first window and then using that squad for the rest of the save. That was fine when it was only 2 seasons and a bit but now it is getting very stale. I think I have about 3 seasons left before we get home as I want to visit at lot of Africa and then tick of a few more European countries as well.

With that in mind I have decided that I am going to rebuild the squad in the summer between season 3 and 4. I have the no transfer window unlockable on but I will stick to the proper transfer window so all my business will need to be done by the first league game of the season. I hope this will bring back the spark in the save as I can ship out the players who are unhappy with there playing time and then actually replace them and a few new faces should perk the whole save up for me.

Thank you to everyone who has commented, followed or just read the posts so far and hope you will stick with me as we continue our trip.

Thanks for reading and all comments are appreciated.

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 

I had one Ethiopian to choose from and I guess the best thing to say about him was that he was cheap! 

A spent a whole £2k to get this guy from Canadian part timers Surrey Pegasus FC.

There really isn’t much to work with here and I will admit I am bricking it that he won’t ever score a goal.

Our league form is falling away towards the end of the season as we lost to both Chelsea and our biggest title rivals Liverpool and a 0-0 with Man City. I guess having a “striker” like Essa upfront doesn’t help but it’s a good job we had a nice gap at the top of the table.

Wins against Sheffield Utd and Man Utd did help but they didn’t yield an Essa goal.

We had one final game to play against Bournemouth at the Emirates.

Essa got himself a goal!

We needed an assist from either Davis or Aouar though.

Aouar was both hero and villain as he got an assist but also got himself sent of not long after. 

It was the perfect way to finish the season though and we can move on next season. This season started with such promise as we completed 3 nations in 5 games at the start but since then it has been a real grind so I’m glad Essa go the job done fairly quickly especially as he is probably the worst player I have used so far.

Nations Visited So Far

In 3 seasons and 114 games we have visted 31 nations.

That means we have stayed in each country an average of 3.67 matches.

As you saw in this update Barca did for us in the Champions League semis and our FA Cup campaign was ended by Wolves in the 3rd round.

Not a bad season but we remain frustrated in Europe and that is now a major goal to win a European trophy before we get home.

The Future of this Save

This save has gone well beyond the 80 league games (2 seasons and 4 games) I expected it to which is ok with me as I am enjoying it. Some random players have been used which if I had been worried about how long this journey took I would never have used because it was obvious that they would take a few games to score and then also hope that Davis or Aouar get an assist as well.

For all I am enjoying this save I have also become a jaded by it in this 3rd season. I 100% intend to complete our journey though.

I think this jadedness comes from the fact that I set the rule of building my squad in the first window and then using that squad for the rest of the save. That was fine when it was only 2 seasons and a bit but now it is getting very stale. I think I have about 3 seasons left before we get home as I want to visit at lot of Africa and then tick of a few more European countries as well.

With that in mind I have decided that I am going to rebuild the squad in the summer between season 3 and 4. I have the no transfer window unlockable on but I will stick to the proper transfer window so all my business will need to be done by the first league game of the season. I hope this will bring back the spark in the save as I can ship out the players who are unhappy with there playing time and then actually replace them and a few new faces should perk the whole save up for me.

Thank you to everyone who has commented, followed or just read the posts so far and hope you will stick with me as we continue our trip.

Thanks for reading and all comments are appreciated.

Well done mate! But losing to wolves with the best team in North London? I’m disappointed Foxy, disappointed...

Happy to see this is continuing and personally I look forward to seeing how you reinvent the squad at this point

I for one am glad your continuing and a squad rebuild is probably a good idea, if not for your own sanity atleast. 😆

Keep em coming Foxy.

Seeing Essa with all those red and orange attributes reminds me of the Chinese VPL challenge.😂

I’m glad you’re continuing and hopefully rebuilding the squad will bring new life into it for you.😀

Yep a real gem that lad and I’m surprised he is wasting his “talents” in Canada tbh 😂

As promised we carry on into a 4th season and making a few transfers and rebuilding the squad really has helped me get re-motivated for this save 🙂

I didn’t buy any players that were very out there and I’m sure you will be familiar with most of the names but if you are interested then take a look under the spoiler.

Outs

This isn’t actually all of the outs as a few went through before the season reset and I forgot to get a screenshot of the history. The squad was getting old with players like Ozil, Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan over 30 now and none of them commanded big fees.

I tried to cover all bases with the players I brought in so we have an almost complete new defence as well as a new strike force for cup and European games as well.

I’m sure you are familiar with all these players but if not here they are.

 I would have loved to do more but our budget wasn’t out standing because I have ignored that the last few years and haven’t saved back transfer budgets. What these new player have done though is bring new life into this save.

The new look Arsenal started in the right fashion as we made @Rob cry yet again.

We managed to complete Ethiopia on the last game of last season meaning we could move on and I decided we would go south.

Kenya 🇰🇪 

We are having ourselves a safari as we cross Kenya with this fella. He cost £110k for Renhe in China which looks decent value to me.

If nothing else he is a speed demon!

Except for the Huddersfield game this new look team are looking pretty decent. Saying that we are still in Kenya.

Next up we took on Norwich and it was a disappointing day for Bobby.

 Not for us though as Masika got himself on the scoresheet and.....

Aouar with just the 3 assists to mean we are on the move 😁

We are continuing our journey south and our next destination is...

Tanzania 🇹🇿 

We have ourselves a bit of a banger here I think.

He is far from the perfect striker but look at that shooting and physicals 😍 He did set us back £9.75m from Tenerife though.

I had high hopes for this guy as he is one of the better players I have used.

He didn’t score on his debut but....

Two against Liverpool and Aouar with an assist and we have a speedy trip through Tanzania.

This was a really good update considering how tricky we found it towards the end of last season.

We are also top of the early league table.
