Yeah the deadline was originally going to be 8pm on Sat but I didn’t want to be dealing with it during the match.

If I need to I can do the reveal Sunday morning and then the challenge in the afternoon so all is good😀

Group Stage Challenge 1 - Results Reveal

Here I am to revel the results of the opening group stage challenge. Although it's only the first challenge of three in the group stage it's still a great opportunity to get some points down and top score here would really put your Country in the driving seat.

For this weeks challenge half of us had to manage Leicester City and sign an English goalkeeper to be our new Peter Shilton and the other half would manage Nantes and sign a French goalkeeper to be our Fabien Barthez replacement. We were looking for clean sheets and league points.

I won't go into much detail about the players signed but feel free to discuss it later in the comments if you wish.

Anyway lets see how we all got on.

First up is Ashez from Team Japan.

Team Japan - Member 1: @Ashez

Club: Leicester City

Ashez wasted no time as he submitted his score only a few hours after the challenge was posted. He went for Alex McCarthy as his choice of keeper and decided not to bring any defender in. His Leicester side performed really well and even though Jamie Vardy suffered  a bad injury and missed a good few games he guided his side to second place with a rather nice 45 points.

He also managed 7 clean sheets giving him an extra 14 points.

A great start for Japan and we'll see how Foxy does later on. Next up is myself and we'll see if I can get a decent score put down for Scotland.

Team Scotland - Member 2: 1759

Club Nantes

I was literally just sitting down to start my attempt the Ashez submitted his but I didn't take too long either and submitted late on Monday evening. I went for Benoit Costil as my keeper and brought a couple of full backs in, one for each side. I had a decent run and managed to win all of my home games without conceding but my away form was mixed. I ended up on 41 points which was enough to top the league as PSG didn't perform so great on my attempt.

I kept a total of 14 clean sheets giving me an extra 28 points which I was really happy with.

A respectable score which gives Scotland hope of getting good points here. Next up is Kanegan.

Team Brazil - Member 1: @Kanegan

Club: Leicester City

Kanegan was also quick to submit with his coming in early Tuesday morning. He went with Jack Butland as his keeper and like Ashez chose not to sign any defenders. He led his side to a decent fourth place and gained 38 league points.

He managed 8 clean sheets to give him 16 more points.

Another decent score and things seem to be shaping up for a tight final result.

Next up we have both team members scores of England.

Team England - Member 2: @Woody

Club: Nantes

Woody submitted surprisingly early and I have to say I nearly spilt my coffee when I saw it. He bought Romain Salin to be his keeper and bolstered his defence with a couple of defenders. He had a great half season going unbeaten and gaining 45 league points but PSG were good on his save so he had to make do with second place.

A rather impressive 14 clean sheets gives Woody another 28 points.

Member Total: 73

Team England - Member 1: @Rob

Club: Leicester City

Rob isn't a great fan of going for clean sheets as it goes against his philosophy so we'll see how he gets on here. He went for Jack Butland as he is keeper and brought a couple of defenders in. He also like Ashez suffered a bad injury to Jamie Vardy which was frustrating. His Leicester side gained 36 points and ended up in 5th place.

D06B3E9E-CDBE-46A7-B5AC-5B37FDF94BA3.jpeg.0095b6aed183d9d0fb89fc358658a314.thumb.jpg.d5fbd0757909a3b230b449b17fa0075c.jpg

He kept a nice 10 clean sheets which added another 20 points to his total.

Member Total: 56 points

Team England Total: 129 points

England have set a target of 129 points and now we'll see how Sam got on for team Scotland.

Team Scotland - Member 1: @samhardy

Club: Leicester City

Sam went for Jack Butland as his keeper and unfortunately he suffered a bad injury fairly early in the challenge so he had to use his back up keeper George Wickens. HIs Leicester side had a great run ending up in second place on 43 points.

Screenshot_2019-05-29-10-57-41.png.d07c6f7347ad5d3e98fc982ca2941f6f.thumb.png.e54c2d23422af1d8fbc36ef49f7156c8.png

Sam also kept 11 clean sheets which added 22 points to his total.

Screenshot_2019-05-29-10-58-47.png.5795215458f9591d6449cf3b8fa88729.thumb.png.36608466a06b8621a85a8bb98fffc6d8.png

Member Total: 65 points

Team Scotland Total: 134 points.

So with that Scotland go into the lead ahead of England.

Next up is Foxy to complete the score for Japan and he needs a total of at least 76 for Japan to take the top score away from Scotland or anything above 70 will push them above England and into second.

Team Japan - Member 2: @Foxy

Club: Nantes

Foxy was also early to submit and went with Brice Samba as his choice of keeper. He also brought in a couple of nice looking defenders to improve his team. He Nantes team like Woody's went unbeaten and gained 47 points but had to make do with second as PSG were also good in his save.

DCE91452-1B38-4908-89A5-45DEE0C2414B.png.40d486e1d3a0f3b63b0e2a06f5e33a97.thumb.png.87ff3fd882ec63c1e1a75435455cffda.png

He kept 12 clean sheets also to gain 24 more points.

Member Total: 71 points

Team Japan Total: 130 points

So with that Japan jump ahead of England by 1 point and into second place behind Scotland.

No we only have one more score to reveal and its none other than DutchTony.

Tony needs a massive 81 points to take top spot for Brazil or 75 points to level things up with England and force a tie break.

Team Brazil - Member 2: @DutchTony

Club: Nantes

Tony like myself went for Benoit Costil as his goalie and bought a couple of centre backs. He guided Nantes to third place in the league with a nice 44 points.

Screenshot_20190531_155756_football.manager.games_fm19.mobile.jpg.f993e078b07945df7ad7ded1c37b4db2.thumb.jpg.0d1eee6d58d3b96802427d16b6c2612a.jpg

He managed 8 clean sheets to add another 16 points to his total.

Screenshot_20190531_155815_football.manager.games_fm19.mobile.jpg.f74ca68d39a0b604c6131df5db5156f6.thumb.jpg.2898b628b24ad82bb0c03fe49b23f4d6.jpg

Member total: 60 points

Team Brazil Total: 114 points

So that confirms this weeks results with Scotland taking 5 points, Japan 3 points, England 2 points and Brazil 1 point.

Here is the confirmed table after group stage challenge 1

1360548663_groupTablewk1.png.19140700c8c5c53b884074eb23ae4247.thumb.png.b096b290c7f84e10b259a0ac20b0d029.png

So Scotland take an early lead but there’s still a long way to go here and its looking like its going to be close at the end of Week 3.

Golden Mobile

Sam keeps top position in the golden mobile award with Foxy breathing down his neck in second place and Woody close by in third.

All thats left is to look at Team Member 1 and 2's total scores to see difference between the teams or players used.

This week it was quite clear from early on that Leicester was the slightly harder challenge and the results below show that.

Team Member 1 - Leicester City: 234 points

Team Member 2 - Nantes: 264 points.

Thank you to all participants and the next challenge will be posted on Sunday.

Thanks for reading

I’m glad the reveal seems to have gone down ok.

It was a nice feel good challenge and everyone did well really and with it being just league points and clean sheets you can easily see how just a goal or two the other way in a couple of saves could make it all different.

The next challenge has a different theme so hopefully you’ll enjoy it.

Nice write up @1759

I enjoyed that challenge but in truth I didn't pay much attention to clean sheets and using the overload mentality likely wasn't the best decision, however I don't think you can bank on clean sheets on FMM and especially not in England. Only playing 19 games and with the big 6 who can score from anything being a big chunk of it I decided to just go for it. Which I still feel was the right decision as I knew I could get this Leicester side firing and it turns out we all did pretty similar

Vibe World Cup 2019 Group Stage

Last week we saw Scotland take an early lead in a tightly contested round with just 5 points separating the top 3 teams. All teams are still in with a decent shot at making the final and it looks like its going to be rather close at the end of week 3 of the group stage.

Here is the table going into this weeks challenge.

1360548663_groupTablewk1.png.19140700c8c5c53b884074eb23ae4247.thumb.png.9ffc0ad9b52156485d42ba36576a2364.png

I won't go through the format this week as I think we've all got that now but if there's anything you are unsure about just go back a few pages and you can check it out.

So now for this weeks challenge.

Group Stage Challenge 2

FIFA World Cup Russia 2018

218px-2018_FIFA_World_Cup_svg.png.e474fd8427267a4737d4460323c138ba.png

As I'm sure most of you will be aware last years World Cup was held in Russia where France went on to win their second World Cup with Kylian Mbappe arriving on the world stage as he became the youngest ever scorer for France at a World Cup and the second teenager after Pele to score in a World Cup final. He scored four goals and won the Best Young Player award.

England had a decent run getting to their first World Cup semi final since 1990 with Harry Kane scoring six goals to win the Golden Boot award. England lost the semi final against Croatia after extra time and ended up finishing in fourth place after losing the third place playoff match against Belgium who had knocked out both Japan and Brazil during their run to the semi final.

Thibaut Courtois won the Golden Glove award as he kept three clean sheets for Belgium and Luka Modric picked up the Golden Ball award after contributing two goals and one assist for beaten finalists Croatia. Unfortunately Scotland failed to qualify but will just have to keep on trying.

For this weeks challenge you will be managing a team from the Russian league, signing an English player, a French player 21 years old or under, a Croatian player and a Belgian goalkeeper and trying to get those boys to be your star players during one full season.

You will be looking for goals from both your English player and French youngster, Player of the Match (POM) awards from your Croatian player and clean sheets from your Belgian goalkeeper.

Team Member 1

So that's @Rob, @Ashez, @samhardy and @Kanegan

You will manage Akhmat.

Team Member 2

So that's @Woody, @Foxy, @DutchTony and myself

You will manage Rostov

Other Clarifications

  • Sign or use an English player.
  • Sign or use a French player who must be 21 years old or younger on day of purchase.
  • Sign or use a Croatian player.
  • Sign or use a Belgian goalkeeper.
  • No back up players so if any of your star players suffer injuries then tough luck.
  • The players signed can play in any position on the pitch except for the Belgian who must play as goalkeeper.
  • No other incoming transfers allowed but you can make as many outgoing transfers as you wish.
  • This is a one full season challenge.
  • Make sure you sign the correct nationality and age of players as failure to do so will result in zero points.
  • Only league games count towards your points.
  • Your Belgian goalkeeper must be in goal for any clean sheets to count towards your points.

Scoring

  • English player: 1 point per league goal.
  • French youngster: 2 points per league goal.
  • Croatian player: 3 points per league POM (Player of the Match) award.
  • Belgian goalkeeper: 2 points per league clean sheet.
  • In the event of a tie it will be the team with the highest league points between both members.

  • Official databases only.
  • No editing in any way.
  • No unlockables but you can use whatever coaching badge or manager reputation you want.
  • No reloading.

This is going to be really interesting as I’ve never played in Russia before. I get the feeling it’s going to be more difficult than it seems...

Another good challenge. With no idea about Russian league, and decisions to make regarding the players, this will be interesting to play.

Finished my attempt now. Feel like I’ve done well but have no idea what will be a good score at this if I’m honest. Will upload later.

I guess I need to stop unpacking boxes and doing DIY and get my finger out and make a start.
