KyleGraham1990 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'm starting as a team in League 2 (Haven't decided whom yet but not one of the biggies) and am hoping to build them into a powerhouse. I have seen many people talk about doing this kind of thing but I was wondering do you start off with sunday league experience or international player experience? As I know this makes a big difference when settling in. Also can anybody recommend cheap good players at this level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purefun Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You could try the LLM forum. You could. I'll pass you on to GD though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AytchMan Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 In this community, Lower League Management refers to a specific philosophy of play and what you describe ain't it. I'd recommend staying away from the LLM forum. If you post that you're starting in League 2 with international experience and ask for player recommendations, they'll fill you so full of holes, you'll think you're Swiss.

bean824 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 For the team I suggest Barnet. I support them and its quite a challenge. It's a small ground and the council won't expand it, with a small wage budget. You do however start with Albert Adomah, one of the best players in League 2 I reckon.

Fyr Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I went with Darlington and I've been happy with em though I'm only in my second season. Definitely promotable in the first season with the right transfers. And, unlike the last guy, they a huge arena for maximum expandability. But that does mean high costs - you'll have to get creative to avoid going into the red. My best signing for the first season was an AMR called Max Noble who is a real pro.

TheGulls Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I start with Torquay in league 2 (mainly because I support them) but they are always written off and I find it a good challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face_Plant Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Luton town a good start if you want to build up to something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 If you start with Sunday League, then you'll find it thougher. I'd you're League 2, then only the bigshots won't listen to you, and it'll be difficult to attract players until you've proven you're a good manager. In League 1, even fewer players will listen to you. International, all the players will think you're a God since they can only aspire to have careers as successful as yours, and will listen to you, and play their heart out every game. Players are more likely to join you, because they'll believe that you have the something about you to make it into a quality side. The other past experiences are obviously in between. It follows that international is easier than sunday league, depends how much of a challenge you want as to how you'll do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyRich Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I think you should have automatic manager rep, or sunday league if you want a bigger challenge as for players, there are many free agents out there, and try raiding premiership and championship reserve teams for loanees Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
