Hello and welcome to my first story on FM Scout. This type of story is a save I have always wanted to try and do.

I am taking over at Chelsea, with an updated transfer database installed, as if we were heading into the upcoming season.

My aim is to not sign anyone and solely develop the players at the club and players we can bring through the youth system.

Chelsea have become notorious for not being able to bridge the gap between their first-team squad and their academy squads over the years, despite developing several great young players.

I will be continuing the club's trend of sending players out on loan to continue their development as well as including them in my first-team squad, allowing them to play a prominent role. I will also be open to selling players already at the club if I believe they may be blocking the path for others.

Some points of interest into the database in use:
  • Players such as Tiemoue Bakayoko Alvaro Morata have joined the club.
  • The likes of Andreas Christensen and Lewis Baker have returned from their loan spells.
  • John Terry has left the club.
  • Diego Costa remains at the club but is likely to leave.
  • The club are not in the Champions League for the first season.

Although I am not allowing myself to sign any new players, I do plan to re-sign players that have left Chelsea, such as Nathan Ake or Nathaniel Chalobah should I see them as realistic transfer targets during the save.

The aims (which I will be adding to and changing throughout as the save develops) of this save are as followed:

  • Build a squad containing a core of academy graduates within two seasons
  • Long-term: Field a squad containing only academy graduates
  • Domestic and European success with academy graduates playing a key role
  • To have an academy graduate win the Ballon D'Or

  • If anyone has ever done a save similar to this and has any suggestions or 'rules' it is worth me implementing, please feel free to suggest them below!
Looking forward to see how you do!
An interesting project, good luck!
