He has been incredible for me till this day. Just kept him coming in on loan, hoping to pick him up on a free transfer soon. I remember Rooney was very important the first 2 seasons too, just like Lloyd, but all the others you named already left the club by now. Were no Championship material.

thomasbey Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) A lot of people recommend Betis, after which I took them for my first save. However, I was quite dissapointed in the squad, and I stopped with this save. I know people will say that they've signed Carvalho, Canales and Lo Celso, but that's basically it (and Lo Celso is on loan). The squad lacks depth, only having 7 or 8 substitutes (of which most are defensive players). Also, it's quite an old squad, there aren't any big talents in the squad, and there's basically no money to invest in the team. Again, I was quite disappointed! Udinese is an interesting team to manage, I had a nice game with them in FM2011. However, I'm still not sure which team to manage this edition.

Also started a salford save myself. Only 3 games in as i post this, will do some updates when i get further on the save. I Signed Adam mitchell as a BPD, really good stats for the league, wages are 1.5k though. Aaron Kuhl, probably most people know about him, playing as a DLP in DM position. Anton Rodgers, playing as mezzala, 25 years old good player for league 2, maybe decent for league 1, if you can afford him, get him, wages upwards 1.5k. Liam wakefield, cb/rb and richard bakary RB/RWB as backup to the first team. As loans go, had to bring in Rakeem Harper, because of the suggestions above, and with a 7.23 in 3 games with 2 assists and a goal he took the place from louis maynard in the first team. Niko Hämäläinen from QPR, because i play wingbacks and the team has no good player to play there. Tom Walker is decent but the defensive stats are horrible so he is backup. Also bought Ben Folami from Ipswich to play as an AF, im playing Rooney as a TM, with gaffney on the bench because i dont want to play 2 TM's. Tactic i chose was a selfmade, you could say a 2-3-2-1-2, with attacking wingbacks, attacking mentality, trying to play a throw everybody forward and score more than concede. Think i'm gonna see how far i can go with the tactic, but we'll see. Happy to take suggestions for players you signed in the future if you've had some gems.

I signed Hämäläinen as well, first took him on loan in the first season and picked him up for free at the start of the second season. After the first season he never has been a starter though, because I brought in Sam Hart on a free transfer from Blackburn. For now if you need a CB I advice you Tom Holmes on loan from Reading and from next season onwards you could pick up Nathan Philips (Liverpool) for free. Both of them have stuck with me till the Championship. Good luck with Salford, I just finished 6th in the Prem, qualifying for the Euro Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaphazardHawlucha Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 For those who don't want to start in the top division but want a team with a lot of growth potential, Brescia is a fantastic shout. Sandro Tonali is of course the pick of the bunch as the ultimate young regista, but you have a deep group of young mids beyond him to work with as well. You have some other phenomenal youth products all around and a team that's pretty much set to go up upon first asking, but your CB situation needs touching up (esp. if you make the early leap) and I felt forced into a narrow formation because of their lack of wingers (luckily they have solid wingbacks at least). 16 hours ago, cacace8 said: I’ve just started a save with Brescia in Serie B . Any recommended center backs for under 500k ?? Assuming you need one immediately, scout Portugal; I know some CBs like Marcao on Chaves and Nelson Monte on Rio Ave are cheap and very solid, and there's also always values from the Big Three's B teams in the first year or two. If you want a someone for the 2019 summer, Pawel Dawidowicz (loaned to Verona from Benfica B first season) was listed in the summer of '19 for €325k so I scooped him up for my own Brescia side upon promotion.

First time I actually got to spend money was when I promoted to the Premier League. Will show you the first 2 years of transfers for me. Reason for me to move players quickly and only offer them short term contracts is so you can easily upgrade with other free players of better quality once you move up. Basically looks like this for the first 4 seasons, then when I went up to PL I got to spend like 20 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KF1990 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Just started a save with Edinburgh City. Yes you are in the bottom Scottish division where the standard is poor but they are actually a good team to start with. Finances are decent with around 400k bank balance (Are predicted to lose money over the years but player sales and better sponsorship could stop that). A club that are only in their 2nd season of the Scottish football league after playing in the Highland Leagues so the history of the club is pretty much a blank canvas. One downside is that they are semi pro at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

karanhsingh Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Have seen lot of recommendations of teams with good young players. How about the opposite? Which club is full of old players and in need of a complete overhaul? I know in the Premiership, Burnley have the highest average age. The idea came to me as I was just offered the Napoli job two seasons in, and I noticed that Mertens, Hamsik, Callejon, etc. were all getting on.

If you're willing, try a save in Argentina - they sell their players so young you tend to have a lot of guys over 30 and a lot under 21, especially if you look outside of the usual suspects of Boca Juniors and River Plate (although even River Plate start with 10 guys over 30 in the first team squad). 2 hours ago, luka_ said: It used to be so many great team guides on this forum few years ago..last couple of years it just turned to **** with barely any guides .

Then after 6/7 years manage one of Norway Denmark Sweden to try and win the euros or World Cup when hopefully the handful of young players I have boosted from each nation are in there prime.

Fair enough but it's not really cheating as such just a little helping hand as no club from scandanavia is going to win a European trophy otherwise and just makes the save more interesting and fun for me if I was doing a proper serious save where I was aiming to win loads of trophies then you I'd feel the same and like I have cheated. This is just more a bit of fun and project to see how some Scandinavian clubs get on in Europe with a bit of cash and a few good young prospects.

MLS has quite a bit of parity and a bunch of weird rules that make it a little different, or if you go to Argentina or Brazil there are realistically about 8 teams in each that can win the league in the first season. I think Mexico is quite competitive too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeesh Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Competing in Europa or CL to me is quite challenging and one of my main interests. Its quite difficult progressing from a lesser country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a great squad actually, including the ageing Adebayor and guys like Turan, Glichy and Demba Ba.... Should be able to mount a serious challenge in Turkey, should be harder in Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for a lesser league which by itself is fairly competitive with numerous strong sides. Ultimate aim would be seeing a team challenge and progress in European competition In the past i ve done it once with Hibernian of Scottish league-progressed to finals of Europa. It was a really enjoyable save. But at that time they had a very good side. Not now. Unquestionably for me its Mexico/Liga MX. The season is split into two so you can win two league trophies a year. Very competitive league with not many runaway favorites or relegation fodder, decent youth setups and facilities, packed attendances. League has a good reputation so you can poach wonderkids from South America. Only downside is the ease of the NS Continental Competiton, but on the plus side you can then challenge fro World Club Cup!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencersjourmey Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I'm doing a journeyman save and I've just taken over Hellas Verona in my second year. It's really fun so far. Won an Irish Senior Cup with Derry in year one (got sacked because of EURO qualifying) but I love it so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
