ashleythompson123 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm looking for a challenge, but nothing ridiculous - like taking Forest Green to the Premiership. Just want something to grab my interest in the game again, as I love playing it but have lost interest over the past few weeks. Would welcome ideas!

Smurf Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm doing the "Hero" achievements. Started with Santos in Brazil 3rd Division. Then with Woking in England. Then with Perugia in Italy Italy C2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apos Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Don't do it yet,but when the last patch comes out do this: Load all the swedish leagues. Get a team from any of their second divisions. Start building everything from scratch and make it your long-term save. (Norway and Iceland work as well. Finland is bit too rich but could work as well) The swedish and icelandic leagues have been the most fun I had until now and they always end up being my own long-term save.

I see a lot of people going for Sweedish leagues, whats the big attraction? Why wait for the patch? and who are a good team to start with? EDIT: Scratch question 2 I presume its because most bugs willl be fixed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Spud Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Scandanavia is always an awesome place to manage. I prefer Norway myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleythompson123 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well I've loaded all the Scandinavian countries along with a few others and will start in the bottom division of one of the countries. Thanks for the advice, hope this kick starts my love for the game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wait for the patch? and who are a good team to start with?EDIT: Scratch question 2 I presume its because most bugs willl be fixed Because the rules of most swedish leagues are almost completely stupid. To get out of the second division you have to be first. Only first. Then in the First division Norst/South you have to be first to get an ensured promotion and the 2nd team plays a promotion play-off. And same goes for First Division Elite. And even if you manage to get to the premier division,you will find yourself playing against teams like goteborg, Malmo FF and AIK and trust me,it's close to impossible to prepare for them in your first years in the premier. Generally I find starting from a swedish second division as the most challenging path to go in scandinavia, but Norway and Iceland work just as much. Iceland is much more frustrating though because all of the clubs are semi-pro and simply refuse to upgrade to pro until they find themselves into the CL for like 3 years in a row.

dlwk Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Huddersfield is a good one. Smithies and Jordan Rhodes are two massive British talents you can look to build a team around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCAlex Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Norway is the way to go. Sign Emmanuel David. He has been on a free transfer since like Fm 10 and i have gotten him in every version since then lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatBarStud Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Sheff Utd can be a fun game, they have the infrastructure to become a huge club, at the end of season 1 they also receive a 6 million "other" income, which can help you build a Championship winning team (asuming you gain promotion from league 1) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padders Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 That "other" income is from the Carlos Tevez and West Ham court case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleythompson123 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Out of interest - what is the pentagon challenge? I assume it's win the title in 5 countries in Europe? Well, England, Italy, Germany, France and Spain? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingHaysey Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The pentagon challenge is pretty much winning the league and the champions cup (or primary trophy) for a team in the 5 corners of the world (Europe, Asia, Africa etc.) and then go on to win the world cup with any country. You also have to start off unemployed with sunday league experience! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
