It is unimaginable, but for some reason, 162 years ago, some bloke in England thought to himself, you know what? I think I just got an idea. I'm gonna create a football club, and that...
is Notts County. Founded in 1862, it is officially the oldest football club in FC25. So why am I becoming the coach of Notts County? Well, the reason is clear.
It's an old historic club and it is currently seemingly on the rise again. Fourth in League Two, maybe. we'll be able to see knots county fight for promotion this season when you look at this team the current knots county team you need to realize something it's the fact that none of these players'grandparents were actually even born the last time this squad won a trophy.
The last time was in 1893, and they won the FA Cup. The budget that we've been given is laughable. 1.2 million. I mean, what am I supposed to do with that? First of all, I can go ahead and utilize, of course, the Youth Academy.
That is going to be a big part of how things are going, and maybe... We have a 65 rated goalkeeper and we have a 63 rated cam. These guys can go straight into the team and help us out.
The goalkeeper, funnily enough, takes over straight away. 17 year old Partridge. Thanks for coming in.
And Lai can actually play down the left wing as well, since we are not necessarily rocking a cam position in this team. It is definitely the oddest formation I've ever seen. on this game. What is this? 5-2-3.
Enough with the youth academy though. Let me explain to you something. You're seeing the league table here, right?
Let me tell you how this is gonna go. This is a different rebuild. This time around, we are only able to buy players from teams that we have beaten. Yes, looking at the entirety of this league, look at all these teams and understand that any of these that we beat, we are able to buy players from.
Anywhere else in the world? we are not able to. And luckily, somehow in preseason, we have beaten Exeter City right above me here.
And they are a League 1 team, and we can sign one player from them, which I really like. This man is the highest potential player in Exeter City. He is joining us.
This is Patrick Jones coming in for 700,000. I sold a couple of players, by the way, and he is 61 rated. I will actually put him onto the left wing. and have our Youth Academy player on the right.
He's coming in at the age of 21 and actually has the rapid play style. We're currently fifth in the league on transfer deadline day, Notts County with nine points. Now we have beaten Carlisle.
As we go up even further, you'll be able to tell that we've beaten Harrogate Town and we also got past the likes of Swindon. I'm going to be analyzing their squads to find someone to buy. And I gotta say, this was not an easy search.
All those three teams, their highest potential player, has 71 potential. So we are going to be bringing in this guy, Mr. Gavin Kilkenny for the center midfield position from Swindon Town. Luckily, I could strike a swap deal.
He comes in at a 66 rating, which could be useful. And it actually will be. Edwards, I'm going to have to take you out and we're going to bring in the new guy into that position. Center midfielder Kilkenny comes in with the age of 24, so he can still grow into a decent-ish. player for us, but that's me done for the first transfer window.
Gotta go to January and hope we can buy some decent ones. I analyzed the league and there was only one team I really wanted to beat until January, and that was Fleetwood Town. And we have beaten them 2-1, as you can see right there, which means I actually get to buy the player I desperately wanted from League 2. And that man right there is Zek. medley flitwood town center back who we have just signed he comes in with a rating of 66 upgrading our defense which is exactly what i wanted taking over the right center back position alongside gordon right there comes in at the age of 24 6 foot 5 tall pretty much perfect for this team and with those signings our first season has gone quite well knots county coming in third and guaranteeing promotion Is this a sign of what's to come?
Is the oldest club or one of the oldest clubs in England going to be making it up a division into League 1? Because I believe the actual oldest one is Sheffield FC, but it seems to be somewhat debated. Anyways, Notts County, here we go. Let's see the team that has made this possible. And hopefully it's going to be good enough for League 2 because up there we're going to have to play against some really good players.
Lye has gone up to a 68. Jones, 65. I like that. Kilkenny is a bit unhappy. I don't know why. He was a signing that I was hoping would work well for us.
We are looking at the defense. And their medley here gone up to a 67 and some others in the team have grown as well. Goalkeeper only up to a 66, which is a bit disappointing. And actually, this Grant guy has been stealing tons of playtime from Jones.
So that is not too good either. But hey, we are only getting to know our new team. And getting to know them includes looking at the players. Our striker was Giovanni Brown. He has 25 and 6, but he will be leaving us for the upcoming season.
And I think next season, I actually have to focus a lot more on the youth academy. Having said that, we left a couple of players in there. And it seems like we have a couple of decent lads here. Stevenson, 59 rated, but very high potential. And the potential is actually very high in all three.
So we can make use of these guys for sure. In preseason, we have luckily beaten Reading, drawn against Northampton and lost against Stevenage. But going into preseason, a win against Reading. is going to change a lot in our team.
There are multiple players I actually want from Reading, but Bindon is number one on that list. This man has 81 potential. The first 80 plus potential player we are bringing into our team is him.
And he comes in to strengthen this defense once again. A 70 rating as he takes over the center right there. 20 years old, 6 foot 3 tall.
And by the way, I've been given a budget of 7 million to start the season off. Straight after that, it's Mr. Savage joining our team. Yes, that's his name. It's Robbie Savage, his son, I believe.
Joining us from Reading as well. Looking like a young Jack Grealish. He comes in at a rating of 67, just 22 years old and potential. above 75. And for the final and third transfer from Reading, I am going straight in and getting myself Mbengue, the centre-back from their team.
And you know what? I'm so happy that we beat them in pre-season because that way, we actually get to make big changes early on. So now with that, we have truly solidified our defence.
bringing him in. We actually have Medley as a left footer. Didn't know that. So we're going to put him on to the left-hand side, but our defense looks much better right now. It is transfer deadline day in January.
And right before this transfer window shuts down, we have beaten Peterborough. I'll show you later on for proof, but we are going in for a new striker. And that man is Ricky Jade Jones.
Joining us for Yata plus 1.5 million. I don't think the price was too good, but the rating is 69 rated striker joins us now. On the left there, you can see it. It was a 1-0 victory.
And by the way, in January now, we are in the seventh position with 47 points. And Ricky J. Jones fits in perfectly into this team, which I am very satisfied with. It seems like everyone in the starting 11 is happy.
And our goalkeeper has gone up to a 71 already. Has he just grown by plus five in half a season? Throughout the regular season, Notts County came in the fifth.
position with 75 points, which is already impressive enough. QPR and Rotherham are going up into the championship. Congrats on that. But, ha, wait.
League 1. Yes. Promotion playoff final. Notts County is in there and has won it.
Absolutely amazing. And now we're going up into the championship. And maybe, just maybe, it's working out because we keep buying some of the best players in the divisions that we're playing in, basically doing the Bayern Munich tactic of buying the best players in the league and weakening the rest of the league that way. But here we are now looking at Jones on a 71, Lai 73. This Jones also on a 68 there.
Good stuff. Kilkenny has finally gone up. Savage up to a 71 now as a center back. Binden 74 rated. And Bengue has gone up to a 71 alongside Mendeley.
Mendeley. what is his name medley and we have sarula on a 70 right here from cyprus and gordon has gone up a little bit our goalkeeper obviously probably made a massive difference here which is really good to see so i'm actually extremely satisfied seeing the growth in the team but in the championship we will need a lot more and i appreciate the fact that jay jones is 27 and 8 where half of the goals were for his old team But still, I really like the fact that he's done so well. We have this Josh Martin guy who has taken away playtime from one of our players on the left wing from Jones, I believe.
So as long as he's scoring and getting assists, that's fine with me. Lye on a 15 and 10. He is definitely going to be one of the most important players for us. By the way, as I do say that, I did promote two of the Youth Academy players. One of them actually left, Stevenson now a 63 rated left back and Price a 67 rated left midfielder.
In the first month of the championship season, we have beaten West Brom, Wimbledon, Southampton and Cardiff. Yes, Southampton. It's gonna be a big one here.
And I just had to go straight in for Kamaldin Sulemana. He fit into our budget. He made sense.
He used to be a massive talent. I don't know how things are looking for him right now, but this is the one. I actually had to give them our Youth Academy talent for it in the swap deal plus money, but it just had to happen. Sulemana comes in with a 75 rating.
He can truly make a difference right here in this team. And I think this is possibly one of those top transfers that... really could take us closer and closer to Premier League football.
After the signing of Suleyman, I looked through the team of Southampton once again to go ahead and find myself a new centre-back. Ronnie Edwards for 3.25 million. What rating is he coming in at? Price rating, I don't care. The actual rating, 72. Okay.
pretty good so with that i can go ahead and sell medley if i wanted to uh because edwards is only 23 years old he has potential up to like over 80 actually so that will make a difference in this team for sure ideally though i want a right back and i am not finding one okay i have bad news frank lie was purchased they released him from our club by obviously paying his release clause 17 million brentford has paid to get our youngster into their team Maybe next season or after that when we play against Brentford, we win and we get him back. So now with that money, I have to do my best and spend it well. I am going straight in after a right wing of Southampton. This, my friends, is... Dibbling.
So we have lost Rai, but a new right wing is coming in in Dibbling with a 72 rating. He walks into the club at the age of 20, so it's not that much of a massive downgrade. And maybe after all, it might be a blessing to get all that money in. Luckily, we didn't only beat Southampton, we also beat West Brom, right?
So I'm going in for one of their fullbacks. Callum Stiles is now joining us for just about... 3.25 million and his rating is going to be a 72. And I will actually turn him into a right back because the right back position is very, very weak for us. With the rest of my budget, I've decided to go all in on a new center back.
Jesper Daland from Cardiff City, originally actually from Club Brugge. No, Cercle Brugge. That's where he used to play in Belgium. Was quite good over there. So I guess that's why Cardiff bought him.
but yes but dalant is coming in into our team right now for 6.8 million at the actual rating of 76 that's an upgrade and i think he should be taken over from mbenga or competing against edwards it's going to be open to him so mbenga can go down onto the bench for me and dalant comes in and takes over he is a defender standing six foot two tall you And right footed could be perfect for that spot. That's where I'm at right now with Notts County. It is the playoff finale.
Take a look at our team. It's looking good, isn't it? But I kind of secretly don't want to go up into Premier League football yet. I'll be completely honest. I kind of want to lose this one.
So good luck to the team. And they actually pull it off. Oh my God. Okay, we are going up. into the Premier League thanks to Kilkenny, who scores a goal, who's the lowest rated player in our team.
The reason why I didn't want to go up yet is because I don't feel like the team is there. We are not necessarily high rated enough, but I am amazed about the fact that with a 71 rated Sarula and a 72 rated Kilkenny, who apparently is the captain. We have made it into Premier League football and we're gonna be getting a ton of cash.
In the regular season, we actually did finish in the third position with 85 points, which already was a great indication that we had amassed a great amount of performances throughout the year. And performance-wise, we are looking at Ricky J. Jones as the top scorer now with a 77 rating. He's 24 years old. Dibbling, the new signing has done quite well. Suleymanov 14-3 in his first season for us and Savic steps up too.
And I think we should allow ourselves one specific rule going into this. Since we are now in the Premier League and we have surpassed all the divisions below us, I was thinking we have technically beaten... the lower divisions.
So I am free to sign any players from the championship, League 1, League 2. But in the Premier League, we will still have the same rule where we have to beat a team to buy their players. As a new club in the Premier League, I thought maybe, just maybe somehow I can pick up a win. And in the preseason tournaments, we didn't beat anybody. Not even Mainz or Hoffenheim or Deportivo La Coruña, if that is even them.
But anyways, we're going over to August and we're seeing wins. Two wins. from which one is mental we have beaten manchester united can you guys I see it right above me there.
That is nuts. I have like 70 million to spend. United, be careful.
So I made the big decision to go for a position that we need to improve. It is Malasia joining us right now. I mean, he's not getting playtime at United anyways.
He's coming in for 18.8 million, which is obviously going to be quite good for us. And the rating is an 80, which is huge. I need to be very smart about my investments.
And this really makes a big difference. And. Obviously, we do need a centre midfielder.
Ooh, hold up. I cannot afford Kobi Mainor or something like that, but I'm looking at the championship and I'm seeing Brentford, I'm seeing Sheffield United, Birmingham City, Ipswich, Luton Town, a couple of teams that we can definitely look into to see if someone fits our squad. And the man I've gone for is actually Oliver Arblaster from... Sheffield United, if I'm not mistaken, who have gone down into the championship. So let's see if he's good enough.
He comes in for about 13 million. It's an A rating on the price. That's good.
Excellent deal. And his actual rating is a 78. Fine enough. Topalma, get out of here. R-Blaster is here now. 23 years old only.
Even this many seasons into it. That's actually impressive. Good stuff. Very good signing.
Since Brentford have gone down into the championship, instead of actually bringing back our young talent, I've gone in for a striker. Igor Thiago is joining us right now, and I am pretty confident that he has a high rating. So we paid 15 million plus Ricky J. Jones for this one. And please, price rating is an A. Let's go.
That's a really good sign. His actual rating is... An 82!
Yes! Thomas Frank, I'm sorry, I keep buying your Brentford players. This is Nathan Collins walking into our team and it was necessary.
It's a swap deal, Daland plus 10 million. It is actually our highest rated centre-back going away, but it was worth it. It was worth it.
So Daland, I believe, was a 79 and he was 27. I am just looking for any incremental upgrade I can get. And I feel like this was the right choice. So Collins comes in. Six foot four tall. 26 years old.
Premier League experience. Nice. Notts County finish in the 12th position in their first Premier League year. And we must have beaten some good teams.
51 points. 12 victories. 12 matches I'll be looking into.
Writing down which ones they were. The ones that we have beaten. So I can buy players from them moving forward. But. Before I actually do that, let me show you the team that has made this possible.
So we are looking Suleymanah 84, Thiago 84, Dibling 81, Savage and Arbalaster looking very good there. Malassi up to an 82, Edwards 82, Binden 81, Colin Styles. Everyone is above an 80. This is amazing.
And this is exactly what we needed to survive in the Premier League. In the stats, Dibling! Hey, maybe it wasn't that bad to lose Leip or Leia or whatever his name was. I can't remember anymore. 25-8 from this guy right here.
Thiago, 19-4. Suleiman at 16-9. Arblaster, first season, 12 goal contributions. Not too shabby. Going into the calendar, I'm seeing a victory against Chelsea, against Wolves.
Who else? Newcastle, Nottingham, Leicester. Give me another big team. Crystal Palace, I'll take it. Okay, Norwich in the cup.
That's fine. Leeds United, Man City, we beat Man City in the cup, Brighton as well. Ah mate, I can make some fire signings next season. Bournemouth right there too.
And yeah, Leeds United and Leicester added onto the list. Yep, this is going to be a huge season coming up. Since we have beaten Crystal Palace, I thought let's get the man that Newcastle couldn't get.
Mark Weahey, the New England international is joining us now. He comes in in a swap. deal for Binden plus money as an 84 rated player, truly upgrading our defense. And Chelsea, thank you for Levi Colwell. He is now joining us as a left footed center back.
I am so excited about this signing. And actually for this deal, I did put in Collins. Yes, Collins is gone again. Colwell comes in as a left footed center back. He takes over that position next to Malasia and he comes in at an 83. I thought he was going to be higher rated, but hey.
it's all good i am madly impressed with knots county my friends we have gotten into the sixth position this season 63 points and i will keep writing down which teams we have beaten but that's really impressive there i need to see the squad immediately who has done it who has been special to us in qualifying for European football. So, Suleymane 86, Dibling 86, Thiago as well. Both midfielders look solid. Defensively, yeah, I mean, we can still get some upgrades in here, which is good.
Our goalkeeper is amazing from the youth academy still. I'm so glad we got him early on, but let's see which teams we have beaten. Okay, I can add Aston Villa to the list.
A 2-0 victory right there. And the same goes for West Ham up there. And this page is even more special. Arsenal right above me. and Liverpool to my left.
Two massive clubs. And we have beaten Tottenham too. Get in there, man.
We have basically unlocked every top team. It's quite clear. I had to get a new right back. It's Livramento joining Notts County. A historic club, so do well, buddy.
Callum Styles plus 25 million for this one. I know the price rating wasn't gonna be good. But we are moving on into the actual rating, which should be an 85. There we go. Naturally is an upgrade.
For the left back position, it had to be someone that I actually really like. Ian Matson is joining us right now at Dortmund. He was ridiculous. And he comes in at an 85 rating.
Same as Livramento. We are on fire. League table, Notts County, second Champions League qualification secured. And only five points off.
Manchester City. But let me show you something else. Europa League, Notts County have won a European title.
4-0 against Feyenoord. Arnest Lott's old team. We have done that. And we have done it with a ridiculous looking team. A team that I probably would have never been able to put together unless I did what we did today in this rebuild.
Fighting players from teams that we have beaten only and basically unlocking them that way. Our goalkeeper is our highest rated player and that's probably a good thing. He's only 22 by now, but the rest of the team looks outstanding.
And Igor Thiago, what a signing, 40 and 7. He got 23 goals and 3 assists in the Premier League. Dibbling, outstanding again. Savage, great stuff. Suleymano, 23 assists and 18 goals.
Our team is ready for the Champions League. I am spending my entire budget for this up... Coming season on Bukai Osaka. I wanted to have one of the best players in the league in our team. Yes, we have built a ridiculous squad, but I feel like...
This is another trophy that we are winning here by showcasing that we have beaten any of the top teams in England and getting one of their top players. Dibbling, I freaking love you, pal. I really, really do.
And you might still have that position locked down if Bukayo Saka doesn't grow. I'm pretty sure Dibbling is going to go up to a 90 this season, but at least one incredible player will be on the bench because the rest of the bench in typical Johnny way is trash. And here is now the end of the season.
Notts County have won the Carabao Cup. In the FA Cup, we didn't win it, but at least one trophy has been won because... Oh, we won the Premier League. I swear to God, I was in like the seventh position in January. So this is massive news to me. 77 points.
Notts County have won the Premier League. and the Carabao Cup. Congratulations, lads.
And I need to see now that in the Champions League, we're in the final. We are in the final against PSG. In the semifinals, we beat Manchester City in the quarters.
We beat Leverkusen in the round of 16. It was Barcelona. So it was a tough run for the lads. And saying the lads, let's see them.
Here we go. Sulemana, 91. Thiago, 91. Saka went up to a 91 as well. Savage and RBlaster in that midfield. And this is going to be such an interesting formation. Like with this formation, I should not be conceding goals.
This defense looks ridiculous. And our goalkeeper is the highest rated player here since the beginning. And you know what?
I need to give you the captaincy, Potrich. You need to be the one to lift the trophy if I do win it. And Dibling on the bench has gone up to a 91 as well.
He will 100% be subbed on and have an impact on this game. Let's see how many goals Saka scored though. Oh, Dibling has been playing 34 and 7. Igor Thiago, 35-5. Incredible season. Dibling, 34-7.
Beating Saka to the starting 11. I respect that. Suleyman at 21-17. Savage done well.
Oblester done well. Mattson offensive left back. Where the hell is Saka? Two goals and one assist. You know what, bro?
siblings playing. The game is happening in Benfica Stadium, which is actually an amazing stadium. Let's see what our boys can do here. I love the fact that the kids are black and white. For once, I don't necessarily have a kid clash right here.
Years of building up the oldest club in English football next to Sheffield, at least the oldest one in FC25 here. We are going... Going on a run with Thiago.
Can he score straight away? No, he cannot. Why did it sub on Saka? Bro, I put dibbling into the starting 11 legit right before this game started and it actually put Saka in. Alright, Saka, you have 55 minutes.
I think it was because of the issue with not having enough players for the bench. So I pressed OK and then I guess it changed the starting 11. Anyways, Saka. It's your chance, buddy. Prove yourself.
Uh-oh. PSG is open down the center. Here they come. And we do stop them in the end.
Off we go. Down the right. Bukayo Saka.
This is your chance. Go on then. Show me that Dibbling should not be playing. Thiago across to Suleiman. It's 1-0.
Notts County have taken the lead. This is what we do! The oldest club is now potentially going to be the most successful club in Europe.
Nice. Go on, Saka. Thiago on the run. Saka finds him. Thiago seems like a very, very slow lad, by the way.
Saka, running through. Bukayo! Oh, wow, they actually stopped him in the end.
PSG making it look easy somewhat here with their movement. Oh, I have positioned myself terribly! But my keeper is awake.
Here they come. Barcola. Oh, wow.
Barcola. Impressive. Matistel plays it back.
Matistel gets it again. It's our keeper once more. He is the best in the world, isn't he?
Yes, Suleyman. A big steal. Running off.
Looking for Thiago. Cuts across to his right foot. Thiago, the number nine off Notts County. I thought he had it there.
Savage. Go on, Savage. Into our blaster.
Let's blast it. Ha, man, come on. That would have been perfect. Oh, huge steal by Savage.
Into Thiago. Hit it. Hit it. 57 minutes in. Thiago, an assist and a goal.
Huge tackle in midfield. Savage. Savage, I believe it was, or RBlaster, one of the two, who got the assist right there.
Big move and big play from our striker, who is exceptionally strong, by the way. Having said all that, it's time. You know what?
Saka, you're going to stay on, actually. Suleymana seems a bit more tired. Dibling coming on on the left. He's left-footed. Mattson.
Oh, no. That's another huge save, bro. Partridge, I can't believe how good you are.
Mattson, huge tackle. Dibling. straight away into Thiago and Thiago buddy get Dibling the assist man nice one R-Blaster gets it and we're moving we're moving with Thiago come on you freaking tank they can't stop him back into Dibling a skill move Dibling Oh no!
His left foot and I forgot! I tried to do a finesse on his right foot. Oh, go on Saka! Thiago!
3-0, it's done! We have just won the Champions League trophy! And PSG didn't stand a chance. Can't speak English. And in he walks.
Partridge, you have been a hero. Saka, you've done quite well, actually, in this game. And Dibling had his moment, but I ruined it.
Anyways, begin. get to lift the Champions League trophy, the Premier League trophy, and the Carabao Cup in the same season. Let's call it a treble, and let's call it a night.
Thank you guys so much for watching. This was so much fun to record. I hope you guys have a great day, and make sure to subscribe if you haven't already. I'd really appreciate that. Take care, and peace.
