If you manage to win the Copa Libertadores with any club outside of Brazil, then you truly are the special one.

[@caradetriunfo912]

Argentina is currently the winningest Copa Libertadores country, so if he manages to win the Libertadores without an Argentina or Brazil team he's the GOAT

[@VillaFanDan92]

​@caradetriunfo912 Historically maybe, but Brazilian clubs have won the last 5 in a row. 6 of the last 7.

One of planned saves is trying to win the Libertadores with Cerro Porteño. That might take a while.

FYI: The higher seed wins rule is not applied to the finals. They do extra time and penalties (no away rule either). You played your home games in the Azteca btw

[@pokezod7832]

Still a bit weird, at least its a cool weird

[@briansalazar2632]

​@@pokezod7832its so top seeded teams in the regular season are rewarded for their consistency, so they get that tie breaker rule and the away leg at home. Not ideal, but having 2 playoffs a season means more money

[@user-lu6ow3yu1v]

@@briansalazar2632 Many central and american leagues adopted the system with two annual Play-Offs and Champions (Guatemala, El Salvador, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru...) - I honestly don't mind it. Let's see Tom navigate the Argentinian League/Cup System or - God forbit - the total clusterfuck that is the Uruguayan League

[@davidarends668]

@@user-lu6ow3yu1v I started watching last year, and I'm still thrown off by Penarol winning the semis to play the same club in the final where if Penarol won the first leg, it's over, but because Liverpool won the first leg they played a second leg.

[@Byrthor]

If you lost to FC Tulsa with America IRL you'd have gotten sacked in the dressing room after the game lol

[@jasonglasser1621]

The Tulsa thing gave me an idea - see if I can find a database that includes the USL, but as it is in real life, with no pro-rel. Win the CL with my local team, Pittsburgh Riverhounds, with the only way to even qualify being through the cup. (I've done this on a database with pro-rel, but as fun as it was, it basically turned into a normal save once we were promoted, where the money gap closed and eventually we were winning from a level playing field. It'd be interesting to essentially have to win from a position where you can't ever be equal to the teams you're beating)

[@TomFM]

It's on my list of ideas, especially as the MLS starts up again in a couple weeks

[@arribalaschivas91]

As soon as you got the América job, my only thought as a Chivas fan is “I want to see the pentagon challenge completed, but I cannot endorse any success for América”

[@PatrickIS-mb2hr]

Mate, if he goes to Tottenham. I’d feel the same way because I wanna see him win the UEFA Champions League but I can’t support any success Tottenham has

[@loonyloser1733]

That is definitely a tough spot when one of your favorite content creators goes to a club you can't stand or signs a player you despise.

[@kylec10]

As an LAFC fan I was hoping to see you take us over… but then again we’re the kings of losing finals 😂 Also FC Tulsa winning the Open Cup and beating Club America in the CCC is absolutely insane

[@arribalaschivas91]

In addition to being a Chivas fan, I’m a USL enthusiast, so watching FC Tulsa knock out América was an extra special kind of fun

[@basicaccount36]

this has opened my eyes to so many different rules and niche little things in every league and i think that’s really why this series is so cool

>Leagues Cup as Mickey Mouse trophy My brother in Christ, you get a Champions Cup spot for finishing in the top 3

[@carlos_takeshi]

Came here to say that. It's kinda cheesy and, yeah, a money grab by MLS and LigaMX. But it can also get you, in a few weeks and a few games, exactly what you're trying to grind out in months of league competition.

Love to see you brings Moon back into your team. Reminds me when I was playing FM16 I always bring Kalbermarten (a regen) into my team no matter how he must in my starting eleven. A midfielder which I converted him to become a productive right winger similar playing style like your Moon. 😂 Man that was a great partnership between you and Moon.

[@lewksluscombe1826]

Wow what a ride that was. I felt every final.! Least you can never be accused of resetting after losing

[@facekickr]

I feel your pain in Mexico. I actually bought 6 Columbian defenders, because a lot of the Mexican defenders are diminutive and lack defensive fortitude...well...at least in my save. I played 5 strikers in the midfield and forward positions and I started to win everything in Mexico...got lucky a few times, but I really enjoyed that save. I felt like I got one over FM and I was content with that.

Again, I am hoping that for the South American leg of the challenge, you do it with the Argentine club Gimnasia La Plata. Did I mention they are the oldest football club still in activity in South America? They were created in the year 1887.
