DrIgz Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hey guys, I've been playing fm for many years now, mostly without too much success... However, on fm08, after starting with Chelsea and playing for 12 seasons (during which I moved to Inter, Real Madrid and also managed 6 nations), I won pretty much everything from the Community Shield to the FIFA World Cup. So I was pretty proud of that BUT.... My main goal is to win the Champions League with my favourite club, Partizan Belgrade. I know it's one thing to do well with big clubs in strong leagues with lot's of money, and quite another to compete with the giants of European football with a team like Partizan. So my question is....what is the most amazing thing you've done with a small club? In other words, is my goal at all realistic or is it simply impossible? (My friend managed to win the Champions League with Partizan on the 2004 version of the game but a LOT has changed since then, I trust it would be somewhat harder to achieve this now) Please let me know if you've done something similar or if you feel that it is just too unrealistic... Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irchard Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 It is possible. I'm sure someone will provide links to threads demonstrating it, but people have taken the crappiest, most pathetic tin-pot clubs to world domination. So it is definitely possible. Difficult, and hard work, but possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raware Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 dafuge's Dartford career DodgeeD's Estudiantes Santander career ...those are just a couple of examples of people who have taken previously unplayable teams (low rep teams) to the height of success. Pop over and have a look in the career updates forum, there's plenty more there...maybe even your story about taking Partizan Belgrade to being champs of Europe in the future!

slipknot67 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 On FM08 I managed to get Celtic to the Champions league final and although I did lose 2-1 to Real Madrid it does show that you dont have to be managing in one of the richest leagues in the world to build a successful team. Good luck with getting Partizan success in Europe, sounds like an interesting challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwyn Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 FM09: Excelsior in the Dutch top flight, (now in the 1st division ) Within three season, saved them from relegation, qualified for Uefa cup and then won the league and the uefa cup. then spiraled down to mid table, got a job in the UK premier to continue lol So it must be possible, might take a few years developing and researching for the right players, get them really connected to the club and before they all get snapped up by Real beat the crap out of them in the final I would say. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
