108 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I see true lower league management as being teams such as Lazio, Villareal or Everton. I think they're the hardest games, because they're small clubs with less money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have a few saves ongoing, Burton Albion, Luton, Watford, Wolves and Newcastle!

Neji Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I see true lower league management as being teams such as Lazio, Villareal or Everton.

SSGTroyer Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I always make my own team in the BSS, give myself a forgiving, undemanding, good-business-sense chairman and a brittle, demanding, stupid DoF, a goodly-sized stadium, a decent bank balance, minimal BSS reputation, and "me," a youth WBR,DM,AMRC with low CA and max PA, and nothing else. I start the game in June, and have a little over a month to sign a staff and side and get them ready for the season. This year, I'm Canterbury City, and, in 10/11, am looking to get into League Two... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisCryptic Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I usually have a few games running, an unemployed game, a game with spurs, a game with the Phoenix in the A League and a game whereby I create a team in BSS and take them to the EPL. The team has 23 created players (friends/teammates in real life) all starting with CA's of around 60-80 and PA of -7/8. The first few seasons are pretty easy, but it gradually gets harder as the players no longer match up to the class of the players around them. Im currently coming to the end of the 2010/11 season in this game, heading into League One where the challenge is really going to step up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is Colchester!!! nickthe blade supporting Colchester?? :confused: I lived in Colchester [who are NOT lower league ] before going to Sheffield Uni mind - and look where I am now ! Anyway, I don't see a great proportion of posts by people managing the big 4 at all. There's been a huge number recently blasting SI for making Arsenal too good in FM09, but nor by people managing them. In fact I enjoy the sheer diversity of clubs managed, from all levels and continents, on this forum. Then there's the LLaMa forum, not to mention [so I will] the Editors' Hideaway where people edit amazing databases - I downloaded and played the Fiji league in FM08 and am just waiting for a fella to put the final tweaks to his Scottish database where he makes hundreds of non-league Scottish teams playable.
