girotex8 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Crystal Palace career is always fun, trying to make them into serious contenders, all the other London clubs to battle with, usually lots of good young players coming through, decent enough starting team with Eze and Olise.

I guess it just felt more special there, his acceleration seemed rapid, I think it was Ball or Melville bounced off him and before he hit it, he slowed time, and the crowd collectively paused and took in a breath, seemed magical. Whereas when I watch it in the clip I think, poor defending and Perez was garbage in goal. Edited October 19, 2023 by mackem10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackPuddin Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I have managed Triestina in Italy a few times overs the years and really enjoyed it. Was my final save on FM23 and had a really good time with it. Going to start with Bilbao in the beta (never been them before) to test the Basque rule waters. Then decide from there if i carry on in to main game or start an unemployed save whilst i wait for the tier 10 db when i try and take Bury back to the EFL (and hopefully beyond) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main reason I don't is because financial rewards are very slim when winning leagues, compared to other top 6 leagues in EU. I just think Serie A is super competitive, if you start at the top. Both Milans, Napoli, Lazio, Roma, Juve all able to compete...some other nice teams like Fiore, Atalanta, Sassuolo also able to compete if you do well. If you go lower down the leagues there are some nice legacy teams to bring back to the top of the game. Lots of world class players spread throughout Serie A (Kvara, Osmhen, Barella, T Hernandez, Leao, Pulisic, Maignan, Tomori, Thiaw, Lui Alberto etc etc). I also like that the finances aren't insane like the Premier League, so it remains a challenge and it remains competitive. You can sell players for big money to the Prem and other big European clubs and still bring in lots of money. I prefer it to Spain and Germany by a long way.

Dagenham_Dave Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Sampdoria is one of the front runners for my main save this year. Been a fan of them since the Football Italia days on C4 in the 90s. Some team they had back then with Vialli, Lombardo, Mancini etc. Now in Serie B after a disaster of a season last year, so it's a very tempting save. Then I found out Warrington Town were in the game this year for the first time. Got a mate who stays there and have had a number of good drinking trips in the town over the years, so that's tempting too. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
