Pozzati Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi. I want to build my own team in FM 09. I don't mean using the editor and create one, but take over an existing team which is a great challenge and would feel like it's my team. I intend to use extreme methods in training, tactics and buying players. I want to take this team from nowhere and to the top. But I need advice. First of all: Which team is good for this? Preferably not in England, because I want to coach elsewhere. Then again I don't want to take a team in a really, really bad league because I want to have the option to eventually take them to european glory (hopefully once far away in the future). Second: Depending on what league I play in, what should my playing style be? Do I want to play in an attractive way, or do I want them to think results and hoof the ball upfield and depend on a great striker etc etc etc? And then buy/coach the players to play that way. Third: Should I buy players who fits in my playing style, or should I train young players (bought or academy) to fit into my system? What do you guys think?

Pozzati Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 wing it? Sounds good. That's what I'm going to do. And make it fly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avelives Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Whenever I usually play FM I like to do something similar, and I always found Ajax is a good club to pick. You get to poach all the young south american talent and they have a great youth scheme, also they are just about a big enough club to attract good players.

Pozzati Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah, I thought of Ajax. But I can't say Ajax will feel like my own team. Too much history, and I'm not afraid to fight in the relegation zone the first season. With Ajax they the board will demand to win the league or at least be at the top.

simon07 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Ajax, PSV or Feyernoord, all likely to produce good players, no 'fgn' limitations. Feyernoord have under achieved IRL recently aswell, and they have a bit of a history to get back too, then surpass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsk360 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 even if you don't want england choose fulham they are a very good challenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObaMartins09 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Dortmund sound like a good team to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon07 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I think a French side might be a good choice aswell, Paris St Germain, AS Monaco, Marsielle, St Etienne or Auxerre? All good clubs, but still a long way off Lyon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJoe Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Have a look at Queens Park in Scotland. Many of there players are amaeturs so you can terminate there contracts and they have a big stadium (Hampden Park) and aren't in a bad league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 PSV is a good team to start with. Maybe also try Hoffenheim? They have a sugar daddy chairman, but they usually get relegated 1st season in my games... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pozzati Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Many great great ideas here. Thanks I might have decided. But keep them coming as I won't start the untill tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Maybe also try Hoffenheim? They have a sugar daddy chairman, but they usually get relegated 1st season in my games... That was what I would suggest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon07 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 1860 Munich, is a super call from Ghostb2. Germany when you get further in the game in my experiance produce some really good players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathxxx Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 You could literally be anyone You're going to stamp your own mark (or want to at least) on a club, whoever you choose. Picking which tactics to use, what appropriate players players to suit those tactics, so in essence, it's your team. Personally, whatever team I manage, I decide what tactical approach that I'm going to use, then build my team around it. By doing this, I will always be looking at player attributes most suited to the positions and roles within my tactics, as opposed to continually tinkering with a tactic itself. I leave most of my tactical tinkerings to "experimental" saves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
