BrightLad5 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 My Beta save will be with AC Milan. This is to try out the new WCB role and also want to try and create a formation to prove to a friend that Target Men can be effective and Olivier Giroud will be my main man! For my main save I will be doing a Journeyman. Had a great one on FM21 starting in South America before eventually ending up at Dortmund.

tawes1894 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Crystal Palace look interesting this year I will probably do a season with City on the beta to get used to the game - this save never really carries on due to some annoying bug. Fingers crossed it doesn't this year and I can play it every now and again. I think this edition I want to keep one save throughout, and just move clubs from there. Might start in the Championship or League 1 and move up the ladder so to speak and keep it realistic, take Sunderland back to the premier league then survive, jump to an Everton type club and try and break into the top 4 and win a couple of cups ala Leicester. Then move to an 'elite club' and bounce around the top clubs when I've achieved what I want to achieve with each one. Last season I managed to take Huddersfield from the Championship to consistent top 4 and a Champions League win, setting up a very strong infrastructure from the first team to the academy, new stadium, selling developed players for high and then re-buying young talent to develop again. I think I'd like to spread my time amongst a few clubs this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingstontom88 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If I buy, it will be a Shrewsbury Town save, after a number of years' hiatus.

Dan_987 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Thinking of trying a single long term save in FM22 (dunno why but the first save of new version always resonates, 2nd/3rd saves never find that same spark). - Holiday for One Year, Starting with No Coaching Badges, Sunday League Football Rep, No Player/Staff Search, Masked Attributes etc. and choose the weakest reputation/avg. attendance/longest odds newly promoted side into Conference North/South.. if I can survive that first season.

I shall not stand by and let an oil funded state gift trophies to Newcastle as long as I live. I was thinking either Sheffield Wednesday or Sunderland as they are former champions needing two promotions to get back into the big league. After what happened in Newcastle I think it has to be Sunderland though. Your biggest rival being the richest club in the World and two leagues above you .... that is the kind of underdog game I really like. Reminds me one of my favorite saves when Man C where in league two and Man U was winning everything. Ah that feeling of finally surpassing your arch rival after many years of hard work ..... blessed. If there werent these kind of massive clubs playing in the third tier..... I would look at Germany were there are some huge clubs in the second league needing a rebuild.

Similar. UK, Germany, Brasil, Argentina - usually Top 15 countries with high Youth Rating & Game Importance. FM21, for first time I have started from Spain which was a big surprice; because I am setting up my profile as Greek and English as second language. Not even know Spanish lol. Spend 4 years at Cadiz B, trying to build my rep and coaching badges. Then went to UK for some extra rep, taking League Two team until Championship. After this; I was waiting a year until my favorite team in real life to open position, FC Aris Thessalonikis. Won Europa League, Final CL (not won), mutliple domestic league & cup.. And then retire; nothing else excited to me after this. Usually took me a year (from when FM release until August) to complete my save. I am freaking boring as hell to take from the start my fav team in real life; but everyone play the game different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gggfunk Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Since fm21 I began to like playing multiple teams on one save, in this way the game is more fun and deep for me. The main thing is you won't be bored after 2-3 seasons after winning everything as you got 3 clubs to manage and you can't win CL with all of them every season. So for FM21 I have chosen 3 clubs: Arsenal and Barcelona - these are my 2 favourite clubs. It will be fun and hopefully a bit harder than in FM21 to rebuild them and bring successes back. With Arsenal I will focus on bringing young players, while with Barca I will use mostly la masia, plus will try to sign in the nearest future 3-4 big names if possible (De ligt, Salah and Mbappe, if he's not set wanting to join Real as he wants in real life). Newcastle - here I will try to sign my favourite big players and build a dream team. I'm excited to see if my young Arsenal will be able to win over rich Newcastle.
