Top teams are never the most consistent, which should make it interesting but they all take points off each other so league is easier I'm hoping some of the improvement to manager and transfer AI of others in FM24 teams helps to address this.

Dadecane Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 has anyone ever done a south american save? argentina first division in particular? ive only ever done europe. but im thinking of taking over San Lorenzo in buenos aires as their stadium is in the neighborhood where my father was born. it would be a journeyman save anyway as my goal would be to win the league ad libertadores and eventualy land a top euro gig, but has anyone done it?

It was by far one of my favorite saves in recent years. Argentinian league sounds like pure mayhem too. The only thing I gotta say felt too easy, was competing in the CL there. (Don't be surprised if you make it to the semis in only 1-2 seasons already.) ARG and BRA teams are just OP and will always make it to the semi-finals it seems. Other than that, the league itself ... Absolutely worth a save. Edited October 19, 2023 by AI-brahimovic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbao is probably one of my favourite saves, I've done it every year for the last 3 games now. Yeah i love managing Triestina. Ended up managing them on FM08 (i think) during a journeyman save and loved it so also pop back and manage them again. Yeah i undertand, going in to a save knowing it is only for a couple of weeks ruins it for me. Fully intend to continue Bilbao in to the main game if i'm enjoying it. Any tips on managing Bilbao?

Love it when you find a team that you can come back to like that! Tips for Bilbao: 1. Read the annual Bilbao guide on this site. 2. Don't give up on average youngsters and consider buy backs, you never know when you're going to need a 2-star rated right back for backup or even first team duties. 3. Sign all youngsters with over 3* potential by your scouts. 4. Sometimes you need to part with a really great player to bring through a youth player and invest elsewhere. 5. Plot your transfers a season or two in advance at least. 6. Previous versions of the game have had a bug where B team players ask for too much money, so be careful just accepting all demands. Honestly, it's a very unique and enjoyable save so I'm sure you'll love it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staf9 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 12 minutes ago, Dagenham_Dave said: 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. same here. will be fun to try and get them back in Serie A and then into europe. should be tough enough as the rep will be lower and it'll be difficult to get players in as finances are poor at the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
