FM Eadster
Hello and welcome to my corner of the internet here on Coffee House FM. My name is Chris (aka FMEadster) and I was once ranked number two blogger in East Belfast. I have since moved to Bangor-on-sea. I am a long time player of various football management simulations, the first being two player soccer squad back in 1991 which I played on a Sinclair Spectrum.
I started blogging during FM19 on my own site when my fictional character Ruslan Chepiga managed Anzhi Makhachkala. I had a lot of fun with this and have continued ever since, most recently in FM22 I have been managing MLS side Portland Timbers in a network save with FMGrasshopper.
I have a keen interest in Geo-politics and this can often find its way into my posts along with a fair dose of Creative FM.
I hope you enjoy your stay here, however long that may be.

FM Guides and side saves
Some FM guides and tactic articles here, along with any side saves I blog about.
FM21 - Royal Antwerp
Having left Chepiga in the cold Siberian wastelands, my current FM save sees me take control of Royal Antwerp. I have added some transfer rules, inspired by the Glenn Hoddle academy, to the save. You can read more about them in the opening post, which also includes a fair dose of geopolitics, history, and current affairs.
FM20 - FC Stroitel Pripyat
Following his failure as manager of the Russian national side, Chepiga finds himself posted to the nuclear wasteland of Pripyat near Chernobyl. Here, as the city is regenerated, Chepiga must lead their new football team to glory and stay alive long enough to make his escape.
FM19 - Anzhi Makhachkala
We meet Ruslan Chepiga for the first time, a top Russian agent who finds himself managing a football team while commanding the Russian Army as it begins to reclaim the Soviet Union. Below I have copied across the opening two introductory posts and the final post from my own site. The rest of the save can still be found on my own site here.
