I then got hired by U.C.D, they were promoted to Irish Premier Division.

I got fired and then somehow got a better job, Lane Kiffin would be proud of me.

Lost 1-0 to QPR in an FA Cup Semi final and looked awful as well. First loss in 3 months.

Fighting with the other North London club and City for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the league. United looks to have the title locked up.

I also forgot to mention, I got past the round of 16 with Arsenal!! Beat them 5-1 at the Emirates and parked the bus for a 0-0 draw in Paris. Lost to Juventus 1-1 on away goals in the quarterfinal.

Is there a good way to start in the 17/18 season using FM17? I know there are updated databases and everything, but I hate that it means the dates are all wrong. Is there no way to trick the dates of the game?

I'm to the point where I want to start a few new saves, but specifically starting in the 17/18 season, and FM18 doesn't come out until November.

Yes, sortitoutsi has you covered here:
https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-start-date

They have real results from last season and you can start on may 30th of 2017.

Then you can compliment that with this:
https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update

Which adds updated transfers/loans and manager movements. Just make sure not to use the promotion/relegation file for it as it will conflict with the new starting date above.

Tried using this a few weeks ago and it would put me closer to the beginning of May, not near the end, so there were still games to be played. I'll give it another go, though.

FYI it won't do playoff games. So you might now actually have correct teams going up/down.

But if you download it with the furthest forward date that should be correct minus the last couple playoff games. Also make sure you don't have more than one start date file in the folder, that will mess it all up.
