    Right I've decided to just start this. I saw Eddie's save, had a quick look around the squad and transfer/wage budgets and I think Swansea's more than suitable.

    Media Prediction of 19th for the first season, but with a 10m+ transfer budget. Ideal.

    Past Experience: Professional Footballer.

    Load as many leagues as you like.

    Yeah you just get a nice little headstart. Would love to see a few more screenshots from your save though, for inspiration.

    I've been keen to start a game with a lower Prem team, and Swansea are easily the best candidates.

    I've started my own Swansea save as well so I might as well join. Is it ok that I'm playing classic rather than normal career mode though?

    Erm.. I'm not really sure tbh. I'd like to say yes but it does give you a distinct advantage.

    I suppose we're not having a point scoring system or whatever so you can do what you want I guess.

    First Season:

    For some reason its put Zaha at ST ahead of Graham there which is strange considering Zaha played far less games and when he did play it was normally on the wing :laugh:

    I started with a 4-5-1 however switched to 4-4-2 in the second season and have found that much more successful.

    Zaha is an excellent buy. Was considering him myself. How much did you get him for?

    EDIT: @Smelly, awesome. Cheers.

    Really struggling to hit any form atm. Although tbf the loses have been against Man Utd, Chelsea, Tottenham and Wolves with draws against City and Everton.

    Current Team,

    Evans is only on loan although I do have a buyout fee of 6.5m.

    Also have Bodmer, Chico, Taarabt, Zaha , Michu and Spearing in the squad who I use for the Europa League and cup games.

    Yep, I'm in. Tottenham got so easy for me. Really easy club to turn elite in FM

    Holidayed two seasons in and then took over Swansea a week or so ago. Obviously doesn't quite fit the challenge, but I guess it makes sense to post in here rather than the FM thread as it's specifically about Swansea.

    Willing to take screenshots of players from the year 2015 for those who want to see how players turn out.

    Prepare for incoming screenshot spam.

    Happy to avoid relegation, but could have really pushed for a higher position. Came back from 2-0 down on the final day to lead Man U 3-2, but lost 4-3, where a victory would have seen us finish 10th.

    Eddie, why are QPR in your second screenshot when they got relegated in your first? I may be missing something very obvious but i'm just curious.

    First screenshot is from the 1st season and the second screenshot is 10 games into the 3rd season so they obviously got relegated and came straight back up.
