After nearly two decades of Football Manager 2022, Trebor Mahtal's throwback 4-4-fucking2 style led AFC Wimbledon from League 1 mediocrity to five-time Champions of England and four-time Champions of Europe. The club is now firmly established as the best in the world so, with FM23 fast approaching, it seemed the right time to bring the save to a close.
AFC Wimbledon won a thrilling title battle with Liverpool to become Champions of England for the second time in 2035/36. The challenge now was to strengthen to become the dominant force in England and challenge in the Champions League.
AFC Wimbledon finished 5th in the Premier League in 2031/32, marking an 11-year journey from League One strugglers to one of the best teams in England. So I thought it'd be interesting to take a look back at the club's rise.
The streets of southwest London were filled with jubilant AFC Wimbledon fans as Trebor Mahtal, Ricky-Jade Jones and co led their exciting young side into the promised land in May 2027.

Wimbledon were promoted to the second-tier of English football for the first time. Now manager Trebor Mahtal faced a tough task to strengthen the squad for a bid at Championship survival on the thinnest of shoestrings.
AFC Wimbledon defied all expectations as the new generation of the infamous Crazy Gang reached the League One playoffs in their first season under new manager Trebor Mahtal.
The Crazy Gang was alive and kicking - with the emphasis on kicking - six months into Trebor Mahtal's reign as AFC Wimbledon. Our 4-4-fucking2 approach had us sitting nicely in League One mid-table and into the FA Cup fourth round.
Football fans of a certain age will look back to the good old days of football when "men were real men" and it was more than acceptable to give a tricky winger a good kick up the arse to keep him quiet. Nowadays, that's far from the case and, frankly, it's boring to watch.
Football fans have long debated how the Old Firm of Celtic and Rangers would fare if they competed in England. So we decided to use Football Manager 2022 to settle the debate by moving both clubs into the Premier League.
