The Valiants

Port Vale FC, a club with a record that nobody would ever want. They are the longest club to be in existence and to never play in the top flight. 113 season without top flight football for the second team in Stoke. The club's traditional rivals are Stoke City, and games between the two are known as the Potteries derby.

Port Vale's highest Football League finish was fifth place in the second tier in 1930-31, whilst their best FA Cup finish saw them reach the semi-finals in 1953-54. In the 2023-24 season, they reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup for the first time.

In 2023-24, Port Vale were relegated from league one to league two. That is where our story will begin, in Feb 2024, fighting for survival in league one. The end of this story will determine where I start my CM in FC 25 in a few weeks. Will we survive and start the FC 25 career in league one? Will we be relegated and have to start all the way down in league two and fight for promotion again? That is what we will play for over the next few weeks...

Creating your own live start point for this career. I love it. Man City put in League One as well, can't say I'm unhappy about that revelation 😉
Are the mentioned stats for this season only? If so, it doesn't seem like this club holds on to their players that long. 35 games for the appearance leader? Crazy... Unless of course it's only for this season...
As a Man United fan I obviously recognize Dan Gore and James Wilson from your current squad. Wilson seems to be a standout player for you, whilst Gore needs to step up. I like what I've seen from him in real life, so only playing 9 games without any goal involvements is a disappointing outcome for him.
Maybe the same can be said about the loan player Alex Mighten. He's one I've scouted many times in FC24, just never found the right timing in order to sign him. Not familiar with him in real life though.
Good luck with this, I look forward to see where this is going.
