Building a one star team to a five star team

[AyntonOito8]

Good day all,

Is it possible to manage with a non-professional, one star team, and grow them to a five star team?

 

Thanks

Simple...yes.

More contextual, you can have a 5 star team at any level, professional or otherwise.  The stars relate to your team, your own players.  Don't be thinking a 5 star team is full of Messi's, Pedro's and Camavinga's.  The star rating also comes from one of your staff members, how good he is is another question.  To extrapolate, a 5 star player at Brighton, might only be 3.5 stars if he moved to Liverpool and vice-versa, a 3 star player at Liverpool could/would be a 5 star player at Norwich.  Make sense?

As for moving up the leagues etc and gaining better quality players, yes, one of the fun things of FM and the major defining thing that still makes it a game (because, if it was as easy in the game, every non-league club would have done it by now).  Just be wary of when you have to go professional as a club, as your finances will take a major hit and all your players will suddenly think they're Ronaldo and want new contracts you can't afford.

Yes, absolutely, the game is made so we can live the dream.

I think in your case though the stars relate to club reputation so to be a 5 star "team" you would need to be an elite club as it'd be relative to other clubs at minumum.

The stars relating to players is different and as has been said, are relative to your own squad.

So there is a difference.

Good catch, I missed he might have meant that.

yes, it's possible, if you can get enough money for your club. if you can't, then it's not possible

I think he is talking about team reputation stars, not player stars.
