Hexagon Challenge Strategy
Raising Your Profile
Ever wonder what the best strategy is to make the Hexagon Challenge work right for you?
I’ll let you in on a little secret. As much fun as it is to manage in American Samoa, or Tonga, or Kiribati, or wherever, you don’t really want to spend your entire career managing there.
Instead, you want to get out as soon as you can. And there’s a nice little trick you can use to raise your in-game profile enough to make that happen.
Certification
The name of the game is certification — coaching licenses, to be exact.
These coaching licenses are the easiest way in the game to raise your profile and make yourself more competitive for jobs in other countries. And the best thing is that you can easily make it happen if you manage an amateur club.
See, the secret behind this is that amateur clubs in Football Manager have no operating expenses whatsoever — especially if they are using a shared stadium. All the money that comes in stays in, and this goes on until the game decides that the club has reached semi-pro levels of cash flow.
In other words, your board will not decline your attempts to go on a coaching course if it is an amateur club. And, since you’ll have no games to manage for 8 or 9 months out of the year, you can simply allow Football Manager to run automatically in the background, earning you coaching licenses and hidden in-game experience points to make the process much easier.
Remember, though, that you want to get into professional management sooner rather than later. After all, you’re probably not going to win the Oceania Champions League playing as an amateur team in American Samoa.
