huw1990 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 the best long term game there would be leeds or oxford, because with all the others, you could probably get to the point where you win everything within a few years. i haven't tried oxford, but leeds is a fun challenge because you get a mill or two to spend and the 15 point deduction makes it more of a challenge in the first season. the only problem with this is that some of the best bargains for leeds such as arthur sorin and pablo piatti, have moved clubs on the weegie update, so you won't be able to sign them.

WI5ARD Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 surprised no one has said QPR - although you have loads of money, the battle is to keep hold of the great players you can by and invest in english youth so that you have a team that can compete in europe!

Currieman Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Have to agree with QPR. You get the money but it's not that easy attracting players to the club and getting out of the Championship can be hard. Trying to build them into a major Premiership force isn't exactly easy either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsy1982 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Man City - I really enjoyed my City save and trying to establish them as a top 4 side.

jonahno6 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Other - Villarreal. Great team with great potential, with players like Nihat, Rossi Fernandez and Cazorla. Breaking the Real Madrid/Barcelona domination is possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthazars Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Definately with a lower-league team if you want to play reeeeeally long term (although I'm such an Arsenal nut that it takes a while to get old winning everything with them!). The most fun that I've had in long-term career games are with Reading on previous CM/FM versions when they were in the old Division 2 and in the Championship. My FM05 game with Reading from the Championship to the Premier League and Champions League glory was probably one of my most enjoyable long-term games.

Mr Sandman Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 FC Moscow, or Rubin, or Saturn/Amkar.........taking over the Russian main teams is a good challenge, then winning the CL..

Okkas Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I remember doing 8 seasons with Dortmund on an old version. Might have been 97/98 during summer holidays. Other than that. in about 2001 me and a mate at Uni did one and did 19 season. I kept Chelsea job throughout whist he made his way around North Easts top 3.

mista T Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 well there is a good list: Tottenham- went on a ten year game with target to win a quad, only managing a triple including community shield before i got my drivers updated Red star Belgrade- probably going to win the league easily but getting champions league glory is the challenge PSV or Ajax- good game with a good budget and good players shaktar donetsk- decent team with lots to spend and in the CL.

Cleon Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I always find the big clubs boring and not really a long term game, as its just too easy to win everything within 2 season. What I like to do is take the oldest football club in the world Sheffield FC and add them to the lowest English league. That is all I change, I dont give msyelf money, a rep boost or anything. First few seasons are really tough and its a real challenge. For me, I find this way much more enjoyable and long term because I can't go and buy all the usual suspects. When you're a big club, you always seem to sign players you've used before. By time you've climbed the leagues with Sheffield FC most of the game are regens, as the older well known players are old.

Zaaimon Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Villareal for me, I won the UEFA cup against Inter (My team is actually better than theirs as I have never lost against them!) and managed to come in second place in the league. Got pretty far in the Champions League too. Funny thing is that I left Real Madrid for them, and the only familiar player they had left was Matías Fernandez. Don't get me started on the financial problems they had. Season 2010/11 by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydfc4ever Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 FC Basel on CM 03/04, my most successful career until a recent 1 with Liverpool. Went a few seasons unbeaten, even managed to get some top CM03/04 players (Cherno Samba and Gamst Pederson) to come play, Cherno was my star striker until Man City offered me $28M for him, couldn't refuse that in Switzerland. Struggled to win Europe, but was so much fun. Thanks to the light foreign restriction in the youth team it was mostly U18 Aussies, some who actually went on to represent Switzerland (coz I was the manager!)

Wilson123 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Other: (using Weegie last year) River Plate in a LAN game me and my housemate when we were at uni last year. Cost me valuable weeks when I should have been dissertation writing that game. Won the Argentine league a handful of times, (he was chelsea), won the domestic cup, met my housemate in the cup winners cup and beat him!!! Then I moved onto Villarreal, who I couldnt save from relegation in their last 5 games, took them back to La Liga in our first attempt, winning the league. Got offered the Newcastle job, took it. Somehow won my first ever premiership title with them at my first attempt (gakpe was sensational), then AC milan offered me the job. Played half the way through the season (think this was about 2012 now) and then phased out of the game and by the time I came back to play fm08 was out.

I always played my long-term games with only them since FM05. My FM08 save lasted me till 2022 when I ditched them as I had won everything and joined Valencia.

jaaaws Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It is defo Oxford for me.
