ArranoBeltza Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hi I'm looking for a new club to manage, starting to lose interest in this game any teams that can keep me going like fallen giants. i:e Norwich, Coventry, Leeds, Oxford United and other teams which are in the same category, Any suggestions please and thank you. In England: Nott Forest and the ones you mentioned. Maybe one of the "phoenix" clubs such as AFC Wimbledon Belgium: Try Union Saint-Gilloise. They have more championships than Standard Liege, but are today in the Third Division. Spain: There are a number of Basque clubs you could play- the two in the top division are still good, but Real Sociedad have just been promoted back while Athletic Bilbao have never been relegated, but have been relatively unsuccessful since the 80s. Deportivo Alaves and Real Union were founding members of La Liga, but are now in the third divsion (Alaves were in La Liga as recently as 2005-06, and are a popular club in their region). Italy: Torino and Pro Vercelli There are TONS of clubs who have fallen from grace in Eastern Europe, among them MFK Petržalka (Slovakia), Vác FC (Hungary), Torpedo Moscow (Russia), FC Chornomorets Odesa (Ukraine), Warta Poznan, and LSK Lodz (both in Poland).

AnfieldRoad10 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Right, i want to start a new game with the following criteria. I want them to have a fairly decent budget, or at least have a number of players that i can sell them on to raise funds. I want to completely revamp the team and have a team of youngsters. Preferably not a top 4/5 club, but a side who are mid table ish. Ideally spain, italy or england. I usually go real betis (even though they're not in top division anymore) but i'm bored of that now, also played as lille and bolton but can't really get into it.

Fusss Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Afternoon guys, Now 11.2 patch is out i've decided to start a game. I fancy playing in the premiership but not one of the top four. I'm after a team with areas to strengthen but also with a couple of players that are already very decent! I've considered doing Tottenham but I had a massive game with them on the last one and was after someone different. Wouldn't mind a bit of money to spend either!! Whats the situations at Newcastle and Sunderland? Do they have any money to spend? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 If you would like a real challenge why not be Blackpool. They get £4m to spend if you say attempt to avoid relegation and there isn't a lot of pressure on you. With a few signings you could just about stay up. Anyway I will get the links to the three threads and the forum links thread and you can look at the teams . Forum Links Thread: In here you wil find all teams that have had guides created for them. You may see another team that takes your fancy . Newcastle United Team Guide Sunderland Team Guide Blackpool Team Guide Hope they help you mate .

NoSssweat Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Looking for a team outside the big European leagues, maybe more eastern Europe or even further abroad (although already done Australia, Brazil and Argentina).

edgar555 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 CSKA Moscow were good fun for me on 10, not much has changed apart from losing Krasic so they should still be good. Decent youth and some quality young stars already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker475 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Going to put in a very anti-Forest shout here despite the fact I'm not even a fan of the club I'm posting for, but loving the save right now, although it is on 11.1.1 Club: Derby County Division: The Championship Transfer Budget: 475k GBP/170k GBP wages for Top Half Board Expectation: Mid-Table Key Players: Kris Commons, Alberto Bueno, Shaun Barker Pros: Some amazing players above, Bueno is one of the best strikers in the league in-game, good attendances Cons: Not much money, board instability, you're in one of the most unpredictable leagues in the world Level of Difficulty (1 to 10 - 10 being very hard): So far it's been about a 5-6 but I'm not in the Prem yet! Additional Information: Brian Clough before his fling with Leeds took Derby to a European Cup semi-final. The club has dropped since the days of Clough however. Their last return to the Premier League, in the 2007-08 season, brought a measly return of 11 points with only 1 win, against Newcastle. Can you bring Premier League glory to the Rams?

Whats the situations at Newcastle and Sunderland? Do they have any money to spend? Thanks! Sunderland start with no money but if you put all your spare wages into the transfer budget then ask for more wages you can juggled it around to get around £7 million. You can also ask the board to sign a player if they feel he is good enough they will sign him. Alternatively you can wait until January as towards the end of November you will get a raise budget of around £25 million. It is more than possible to get into Europe in the first season as Sunderland Gyan and Bent are lethal upfront. I am not sure if I should go with Anderlecht or Standard, any ideas?

jeesh Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I used to have fun with Hibs in previous editions when they had exciting young players. With brave fighting football it would take me a season or two to be the top team in Scotland ahead of Rangers and Celtic and would always end up putting a great fight in CL although my best ever was quarter finals. Unfortunately this time around Hibs has a less than average side. Can you suggest any clubs-can be any league in Europe which could fit the description. Side with young talent capable of playing brave football (Not the top club in the country-maybe mid tablish). First challenge would be to dominate domestic football and eventually put up a brave show in CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you start a game with a team in England or Italy or Spain even if they are mid table, you can turn them into big teams within a few seasons and go far in CL. The same cannot be said when you are from a League like say the Scottish League. So prefer a team not from these three nations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good young players there too. I think it would be a good club to take on if you like the Italian league and they are somewhat of a sleeping giant. I think 3 seasons would see you established in the Champions league easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
