In fact, in the 2015\/16 season it decided to change its approach and started using Football Manager data to analyse the players clubs were chasing.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense: clubs like Everton had already admitted using FM to study possible signings.

Rules: a single save, and each participant played for about an hour.<\/p>\n<p>The goal was to enter the Guinness Book as the video game save with the most participants ever. Later, more than 100 people signed up and 92 turned up.<\/p>\n<p>Over more than a decade of game time, hundreds of matches were played. The closest Wimbledon came to the Premier League was a League Two play-off, lost in the final, at Wembley.<\/p>\n<p>In between, chaos: one manager accepted an offer from Leeds and, right after, another signed for Burnley. With nobody looking after the club, Wimbledon were relegated. When someone finally got back in the dugout, the last 30 managers needed five seasons to return them to League Two, which happened in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more, the full article is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalfootballmuseum.com\/news\/football-manager-experiment-proves-consistency-is-key\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> (in English).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4538\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4538\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4538\" src=\"https:\/\/fmportugal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/100Jogadores.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"383\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4538\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>One of the AFC Wimbledon virtual managers<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_O_FM_pos_Griezmann_no_Chelsea%E2%80%A6_por_engano\"><\/span>4.

Two days later he appeared in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LYqrVrdqkck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a> explaining that he was managing his boyhood club, Lyon.<\/p>\n<p>And it didn't stop there. According to \u00daltima Divis\u00e3o, he also said he had taken over Arsenal: \u201cI was with Marseille, but didn't have much money for transfers. The same happened at Lyon. So I took Arsenal, in Wenger's place.
