crustyjuggler Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Ok, let me give you a history of my FM experience: I always seem to start a save in November/December after the game comes out, usually with a reasonably good premier league side. I carry this through until the next FM comes out. I often start new saves with teams I think might be fun, only to return to this long-term save. This year, I haven't had this long term save. Just loads of new ones I've started and given up on to be another team. The longest I've carried one on for is 2 seasons. Anyone got a really fun, challenging side to be? Preferably in the English Premier League of Championship. I don't like being 'top 4' sides as they are too easy, so any advice is appreciated.

What you should do is look to manage abroad. Try some completely random team and read up a bit about them and you will realise you may start to grow affectionate to them. Thats what happen to me anyway when i choose to be Ascoli. I even created ateam thread for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Toon-Army Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Southampton's a nice game , no funds at all , but you've got a good bunch of youngsters. Had a thought earlier , even though i haven't tried it , Boardeux of France seems like a good one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustyjuggler Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well, thanks for the suggestions, but I actually stumbled along another club, Reading. Really fun team to be, good players and a reasonable transfer fund for the Championship. Won the league in my 1st season . Just finished my GCSEs so I can play non-stop now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
