Fm11 - whose league rep are you going to "dynamically change?"

Not seen a thread on this yet so very simple guys...

With the addition of dynamic league reputations (amen), what leagues are you planning to dynamically change in your games?

Personally I'm going for a former Soviet Bloc game to try restore the likes of the "marvellous magyars", Lato's poland, Lyobanovskiyi's Kiev and Maslov's Moscow.

I'm gonna go for Belgium start with either Standard of Anderlecht.

I will go into the bottom divison of a new European Country - that is if there are any new countries being added in FM11 - given what the editor can do. If not then the most obsecure that exisits at the minute. What a great addition though!!!!

I intend to make Bosnian league the best in the world.

Then again I am not trying to make the league good - I am trying to make the club the best it can possibly be. The league rep will just be a by-product!!!

Oh yeah, most definitely. Probably my original post should read, whose league are you most looking forward to improving via the success of your team

Im thinkng of loading up as many leagues as possible and will have a little go at improving a few leagues in a long career game

Maybe a non-european one.

Wanna see what would happen once AFC Champions league becomes the highest rep of the continental cup.

With full Danish licensing i think Denmark FA deserves a return, I'm going to make it my mission to their league reputation up to that of the Portugals, Hollands and Frances of the game

gonna start with Hong Kong then moving over to europe to take some of the smaller leagues, n.Ireland or Iceland.

I'll be trying with HK too .

Holland for me

Scotland as Ive always wanted to take Celtic to maximum rep and increase the competition

I will try to make Polish league the best league in the world

then I will try to do the same with Uruguay, it will be interesting to see what happens if non-European league will have better reputation than European league

Hopefully quite a few European ones.

I'll be hitting Wales....want to achieve European domination with a club and win the World Cup

Any idea's on how long it'll actually take to get something like the Welsh leagues to above England's standard?

Anything under 15 years for me will be thoroughly unrealistic, but then again a lot of people will moan about that taking too long.

Approximately (sp?) 20-30 years.

Faroe Islands

Good question Dob! I think I will disagree with Fabio to a degree!!! :p

As we have seen in many career threads that many managers can achieve promotion after promotion. So if we take the Welsh league for example - then in FM10 there were two tiers. So if you start in the second divison and it takes you two years to get promoted. Then once in the Top division you have a season to avoid relegation, then a mid table finsih, then a top 4, and then you win the Welsh league First Division. So that would take 6 seasons - and I am sure many people could do it much quicker. Obviously that is just the start.

Then your team will be single handedly trying to make the Welsh Rep System better or realistically it will be or maybe another team that plays in the Europa league - but that is very unlikely. Then it will be up to you to get as many coefficient points from European competitions as you can over a period of time - is it 5 years?

But obviosuly you will be doing this on your own, so after 5 seasons you may (the Welsh league) may get another place in Europe depending on your success. So actually it will take alot longer than I thought - and alot will depend on the success of the other Welsh teams when they play in Europe to try and get as many coefficient points as possible - but as the years go on - hopefully more and more Welsh teams will get Euorpean places.

But in a way we don't know the effects of the increased reputation and how easy it will be to get points - as I would imagine it would be pretty hard. So I think as Fabio said it will take some time!!!! :o

Mate I just said what Miles Jacobson said. That averagely you will need to take some country to the top (that isn't on the top already) about 20-30 years. : )

P.S. If I find the link the prove that I'll edit this post mate.

Oh yeah I know Fabio!!! In the end I agreed and thought it would take as long than I initially thought!!! I think to increase the reputation in the first 5-10 years won't be too hard as there will be some pretty poor countries ahead of Wales. But once you get to say 10-20 in the standings then I think it will be very hard to crack the likes of England, Italy, and Spain and the lesser bigger nations!!!!

france and russsia leagues for me

MLS - oh yes.

Northen Ireland for me, finally be able to get one of the few local teams about to proper dizzy heights in Europe... That all depends however if I'm good enough and persistant enough to plug away at it

The Chinese Super League. And the Canadian Soccer League. We're gonna rule the world.

Well try to anyways.

i'll be trying to make the belgium league the best or possibly denmark

Scotland as Ive always wanted to take Celtic to maximum rep and increase the competition

I think I might do that as well (not with Celtic though, never liked them). It'd be interesting to see the Scottish Premier on an even keel with the English.

Ireland

I think Eastern Europe will be a good target - I'm going for Bulgaria.

Probably Ireland.

Have had some fun saves in Denmark and Austria before, might go for someone like that as well. (I.e. small European.)

With Danish licencing now I'm planning to make them a top league. My girlfriend is from Denmark and I've gotten the chance to see some Danish football firsthand, was quite enjoyable too.

The UAE Football league with Al-Ahli and sper Fabio Cannavaro. Theres loads of money over there, so i thought it'd be a good place to start

Well, I think im gonna try to make my beloved country Israel as the best league in the world

but with which club?

I will make Holland the best football country again!

I'm not sure the small leagues will ever be top reptation heres why

1 Money is king and if there is no money for wages players will leave (even Juve lost players when they were the best team team in the world early 90's cause of their wage cap)

2 Outside Europe even the best teams in the best leagues lose players to European sides partly for money partly cause of reputation

3 It takes more than 1/2 teams to really rise the league rep. You may be good but the AI is poor in general. (look at Scottish football two consistently good sides)

If you can slowly but surely improve you performances in the league and then in Europe, then over time the rep of your league may improve. If this happens the AI clubs will benefit from signing slightly better players, meaning they may be able to perform better in the league and europe themselves.

Just look at the Russian league, they have had Zenit win the Uefa cup and recently they have been able to attract a lot more players to the country

The russian league has a lot of money at the moment which helps a lot. I'm just saying it's not a given that you will be able to vastly improve a leagues status

Nicely explained.

I think the dynamic league rep feature will see leagues improved if there is a fair amount of success over a long period of time. It certainly wont happen immediatley.

As Miles said, most people wont even notice anything is happening.

Scotland as Ive always wanted to take Celtic to maximum rep and increase the competition

I think I might do that as well (not with Celtic though, never liked them). It'd be interesting to see the Scottish Premier on an even keel with the English.

I think I'll have a go with Scotland as well. I think I'll get rid of the 'old firm' though in an attempt to make the league more competitive.

MLS - oh yes.

Ditto.

Hopefully SI includes the new Collective Bargaining Agreement that calls for an annual increase to the salary cap...otherwise I'll be stuck (as in 10) with a cap that never increases, making any sort of rep gain meaningless.

I think I might do that as well (not with Celtic though, never liked them). It'd be interesting to see the Scottish Premier on an even keel with the English.

One point to make is that it's best to do that with a team that isn't celtic or rangers, as celtic in my experience seem to do pretty good on their own, I mean I've had st Mirren vs Celtic champions league final on my fm10 scottish save. If you have a few successful teams, that'll force the rep up faster you'd think.

It'll be tough, but hopefully I can make Kerkyra a big enough side to improve Greece's SuperLeague. Might have a crack at raising the profile of Chile's league with Audax Italiano, too.

I want to take Albanian league reputation up to Holland or even better if I play long enough.

I am just looking forward to seeing how it developes on its own! =D

Every time you play there maybe a different outcome, different nations improve. Holidaying a few games 30 years forwards would be very interesting.

England

This.

If you want to increase league reps you it'd be helpful to choose a team outside the 'big' clubs, like Krald suggests. IMO.

I'll definitely be going for a Welsh team, if I do decide to give this a go. Rhyl will probably be my first choice, as I could always open a hotel by the coast if all else fails.

It would be interesting to see someone take Mexico to heights it has never achieved as a league...
