Okay, so you have arrived in South Korea, where you will be looking for glory in the K-League. The South Korean league is composed of 15 teams which play each other twice, meaning there are 28 games in a completed season. The rules for the competition are pretty straight forward, you can name six substitutes and can use three, but you must name a goalkeeper on the bench. No crazy having your keeper sent off and putting the big 6’4” centre back in goal. There is a limit of foreign players. You can have up to 4 foreigners (non South Koreans) however only 3 outside of Asia. Which means you could have 4 Asian non South Koreans, but only 3 Brazilans for example. The top four teams in the division qualify for the Asian Champions League, where the very best of Asia battle it out to be crowned Champion of Asia. The  top six teams qualify for the Championship playoff to see who will be champions. Winning the league gets you a place in the final, if you scrape into 6th place, you must dispute two playoff matches before the Korean "Superbowl". The season starts in March and carries through until November, much like some northern countries in  Europe. Now that your aquainted with the league system let me impart what challenge is and who you will be managing.

JEONBUK HYUNDAI MOTORS



Jeonbuk are a team that should be pushing for Continental qualification, realistically you shouldn’t be winning the league as you are predicted to finish 6th in your first season. Well your here to change this assessment.

Jeonbuk Hyundai is based in Jeonju, in the Jeonbuk region of South Korea. Jeonju falls on centrally in South Korea, not far from the west coast of South Korea. Jeonju itself is the is somewhat of a tourist centre where one can enjoy famous Korean food and visit many Korean historical buildings intertwined with religious festivals. Needless to say they are not averse to the odd visitor or two.

Jeonbuk FC was founded in January 1993 under the original name of Wansan FC. The club joined the Korean League in 1994 after changing its name to 'Jeonbuk Buffalo FC'. The team began losing money and did not live up to expectations, even though there was a heavy fan support. Jeonbuk Buffalo was entrusted to the KPFL, and Hyundai Motors took over Jeonbuk FC on December 12, 1994.

Since 1993, Jeonbuk have not seriously challenged for the Korean League title, often languishing in mid-table. After Choi Gang-hee was appointed manager in July 2005, Jeonbuk won the Korean FA Cup in December of that year. In 2006, Jeonbuk finished a disappointing eleventh in the Korean League; however the season had a surprising ending, as Jeonbuk won their first AFC Champions Cup final in Homs, Syria. En route to the final they defeated the champions of Japan and China, Gamba Osaka and Dalian Shide, and they also beat Ulsan Horang-i, the champion of Korea, in the semi-final. They triumphed 3-2 on aggregate over Al-Karama, the champion of Syria, in the final.

Jeonbuk play at the Jeonbuk Castle renamed from the Jeonbuk World Cup Stadium, built to host the 2002 World Cup, a 43,348 seater stadium.

Chairman Chung Mong-Koo has called you into his office and asked you to turn around Jeonbuk into an Asian powerhouse by any means necessary. Your task is to improve Jeonbuk back to the heady days when the club won the AFC Champions League. The club have never won the K-League and the chairman stresses the importance to bring the Korean title to the city. With a budget of around £1m to spend there is a little wheeling and dealing to be done.

With the club also in the AFC Champions League there is also an opportunity to bring continental glory to the club.

09, I believe, select the Korean start date I swear. I didnt realise you could start in 10. Start in 09, Jeonbuk won the K-League in real life, in 09, so starting in 2010 would mean they are champs. You 09 I believe.

Expect a CG thread from me soonish - Just to prove that I beat Ulsan 1-0 in the League cup final for 17 points and beat Suwon 5-1 in the round before for another 3 points.

Also waiting for Champions league QF draw and doing shit in the league (mainly because everyone's played more games due to my awesome cup runs!)

After a busy January signing players the game is underway and looking good (I love Gook), putting up my CG thread tonight hopefully or tomorrow morning if not.

[EDIT] Ok so won the League Cup on penalties after topping our group unbeaten, topped our ACL group unbeaten but got knocked out in the first round by Gamba Osaka, made it to the Semi of the FA Cup (where we were to face Suwon - league leaders), and with the rest having 2 games left to play we were 3rd with a game in hand that would have had us a point behind Suwon.

Then the game crashes in the middle of a save thanks to the film I was watching glitching and hogging the power resources for a second. Result = corrupted file. :angry:  So I'll just be jumping out the window now, and waving goodbye to Jeonbuk. It took ages to settle into things and get everything the way I wanted and I can't afford to spend 2 days re-doing it, sorry.

Also no pictures or anything for points as I was waiting for those final 3 (or 4 if id made the final) matches to finish first before typing up the Current Game thread (which I'd gotten the badge and structure sorted already). Crap.[EDIT]

Things have gone a little downhill for me. League form has been shocking. I think its because for some reason Jeonbuk play only three league games in the first three months.

I did ridiculously bad in the league, I finished 11th, that means there was only 4 teams worse than me in the league, and the news articles before the Champs League final were saying "If Varela does not win tonight he could be in line for the chop". I was literally a game away from the chop if the FM media are to be believed. Winning the FA Cup and Champs League has surely meant now that my job is safe. I'm a little bit like the Jeonbuk Rafa Benitez.

Q get me screenies of your points so I can add you...

Bit of good news, since I am roughed up atm I decided to curl up in bed and play FM10 (got a friend to move the pc so I can play in bed near enough). Even though my save was corrupted I noticed a game called KOREA(Backup) a couple of days ago (my game was saved under the name KOREA, and imagine my delight when I loaded it up and I was just a day behind where the crash and corrupted save had occurred! So I have finished the first season and will do my current game thead about it complete with screenies and a points total.

Gods how I'd missed Lee Dong-Gook!  :thumbsup:

Great total there Chris. We won exactly the opposite trophies from one another, I won AFC Champs League and FA Cup, you won League Cup and League. I was probably quite lucky however. Gook is amazing your right. I will add your points to the current standings.

Ok so if you read my Current Game thread you'll see that I participated in the Pan-Pacific tournament (which I won) and the Club World Championship (finishing a respectable 3rd place). Do we get points for those competitions or not as you have not listed them above.

Cheers for the challenge anyway, I am in love with a man called Dong-Gook right now.

Edit: I think points should be included for these as you need to win the ACL to go to the CWC, and also need to win the K-League to go into the Pan-Pacific. Anyway here are my points toal for the season.

FMV Tour Points Accumulated: 175 points (minimum) this season for a total of 299 (minimum)!
K-League winner - 60 pts
Asian Champions League Winners - 100 pts
Beat Suwon Thrice - 9 pts
Beat Jeju Utd Twice - 4 pts
Beat Ulsan Hyundai Once - 2 pts
Pan-Pacific Championship winner - ??? pts
Club World Championship 3rd place - ??? pts

SEASON 3 EDIT!:
FMV Tour Points Accumulated:
262 points (minimum) this season for a total of 561 (minimum) after 3 seasons!
Increase Bank Balance to £25m - 40 pts
K-League winner - 60 pts
Asian Champions League winner - 100 pts
KFA Cup winner - 25 pts
K-League Cup winner - 15 pts
Beat Suwon Four times - 12 pts
Beat Jeju Utd Twice - 4 pts
Beat Ulsan Hyundai Thrice - 6 pts
Pan-Pacific Championship winner - ??? pts
Club World Championship winner - ??? pts
