As the year comes to a close, I wanted to share an update on my career mode journey in FC24. It’s been an exhilarating ride, and I’m really proud of how things have developed.
I embarked on this save with a storyline centred around an ambitious ownership, determined to lead the club to the top in a financially sustainable way. Enter Stee Vee: a globally unknown Australian manager, former national team full-back, and a disciple of Jurgen Klopp. World Class difficulty.
23/24: A Foundation for Success Key signings: Irankunda (64), Edwards (67), Garbett (67), Edmond Addo (65), and Norton-Cuffy (67) on a two-year loan. These players were meant to form the backbone of the team.
I set up a high-pressing, attacking 3-striker system—gengenpress at its core. It was a high-risk, high-reward approach, with goals galore at both ends. A strong finish to the season saw us secure second place and automatic promotion.
24/25: Rising to the Challenge Key signings: Goalkeeper Labrovic (74) and marquee signing Sunjic (73) to bring leadership to the squad. We also made Norton-Cuffy’s loan permanent after his first season.
We were competitive all season, finishing with a strong run to win League One on the final day. No success in any of the cups.
25/26: The Dream Begins This is where things really started to take off. I managed to convince Jordon Bos (77) to join us, after he’d previously rejected us at the end of the last season—huge! We also signed Jebinson and sold our striker, Humphrys, to make way for the future.
Our play was electric. We were conceding over 1.5 goals a game but scoring 3.5! Irankunda started to hit top form, finishing the season with 60+ goals across all competitions. The FA Cup semi-final was unforgettable: we were 4-1 down at half-time to Liverpool, but Irankunda scored a hat-trick to level the game, and we won in extra time. In the final, we triumphed over Chelsea—what a dream run!
We also won the league, edging out Norwich by just one point. I was surprised to get promoted into the Prem a year sooner then I hoped/planned but it was awesome.
The most thrilling part of this save? It never mattered if we conceded first. The belief within the team was that FGR would always find a way back.
26/27: The Rock and Roll Revolution By now, we were the talk of the town: the new “rock and roll” football club where attack is the best form of defence, and the boys run their socks off for each other. Irankunda, our wonderkid, was attracting attention from Europe’s elite. At just 19, he committed to the project, and we secured a spot in European which was exciting for the whole group.
We needed reinforcements, though. With promotion to the Premier League ahead of schedule, and Europe now on the horizon, I brought in some bigger names. We signed a disgruntled Nick Pope from Newcastle, Hermoso (with 11 months left on his deal), and Kalmarken Sulemanna. Dewsberry-Hall and Dasilva also joined as midfield reinforcements.
The season began with the Community Shield—underdogs against the powerhouse Manchester City. The went up 1-0, then Araujo got sent off. It was still a grind but we equalised through Irankunda, sending it to penalties. Unfortunately, City won, but our performance sent shockwaves through the football world.
In our first Premier League encounter, we faced City again. Irankunda scored the opener, but we ended up losing 5-1. 😑 With the team still settling into its new identity, we made our pivotal signing: Niklas Dorsch from Augsburg. We poured the rest of our transfer budget into securing him to anchor the midfield. I also turned Garbett into a CF and played him through the middle and help on defence, he plays just like Bobby Firmino!
The season was a rollercoaster—struggling for consistency early on, but from December to February, we hit our stride. We beat Chelsea, United, and Spurs (twice) in a three-week period, cruised through the Europa League group stage with a perfect 6-0 record, and narrowly lost to Juventus in the R16 in an epic battle (5-3 away, 3-2 at home).
In the Premier League, we went neck and neck with Brighton for third place, eventually clinching fourth.
27/28: Building on With a significant transfer budget increase, and Champions League football, we knew we had to improve key areas. Hermoso’s stamina became a liability for us. We managed to do a deal with Borussia Dortmund for player plus £67 million for Nico Schlotterbeck. Josh Dasilva was horrible to use in game and I sold him and redirected funds into buying Lovro Majer.
We struggled with quality off the bench the previous season, so I added depth with Sterling (free), Bowen (free), Kelleher, and Greaves, all players who were out of favour at their clubs and could make an impact off the bench when needed. Addo and Sunjic remained club legends, providing solid contributions whenever called upon too. Our wage bill is good only 5 players above 34k per week, but I bet I’m going to have some negotiations come up in the coming season or 2.
We may have conceded a lot of goals, but this heavy-metal football has been a blast! 🤘Our attack is relentless, and we’re building something truly special.
