Colorado Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Big fan of the South American leagues but usually play the lower Brazilian leagues. This time however, I've began a 'career game' running all the South American leagues but have starting in Colombian second division with Barranquilla. Apparently, their based on Colombia's carribbean coast which would be a welcome change from Swansea right now! Has anyone played in the Colombian leagues before and enjoyed?

simon07 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 On FM 2008, I started with a team in Colombia called Envigado. It started really well, got 4 seasons in..... BUT when saving one day I had a ower cut and lost the save! I had a smashing you regen coming through too called Manuel Polo, super little forward, at 19 he was my top scorer and had a handful of Colombian caps It would be a super start to a career game IMO.

Colorado Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Ah, I think I know of Envigado. Think their in the top division. Just been tinkering with tactics for a while and have got the side playing a defensive, very low tempo, short passing game during pre-season. Managed to add four decent players and drew my first league game 0-0. Good start, enjoying so far! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon07 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 They wear a very vibrant orange! Its a brilliant country to manage in IMO. Colombia produce good players too. In terms of career a step up would be managing in Argentina or Brazil maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevermore FC Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm Colombian and was assistant researcher for Colombian Second Division a while ago. A lot of nice players available that can get you to the first division relatively soon. The real challenge is Copa Libertadores. Have fun! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Wakeford Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yes! I love playing in Colombia, the most fun I have outside of the premier league. Normally play with Junior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm currently in a South American career game, playing in Peru atm. A move to Colombia is a possibility in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
