Not going to talk about England because the choices are obvious, but in Germany the comparable teams are probably; B.1 Hannover Frankfurt Mainz Stuttgardt are another shout but they are pretty rich. B.2 Koln Kaiserslauten 1860 Munchen Dresden Cottbus The last 2 have good wage manouverability, while Hertha are another shout but they have no wage freedom.

Barkers Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 finances are fine butt. without cl football im getting 10mil+ budgets to strengthen each season and if you do qualify its even more. think the combined monthly out goings for the 2 loans are like 200k a month. sponsorships go up each season too, depensing on success. new tv deal has upped from 21mil to 30 odd by 2014/2015 key players dont ask for big wage hikes which helps alot. in one save i had a new stadium by season 4 or 5. *have never been forced to sell anyone. watch if you do sell vela as arsenal retain a 50% stake in the transfer fee.

Well yes, pretty much Arsenal-style, but what are their expectations? Doesn't the board expect you to bring in some trophies or, like in real life, they care much more about playing style and finances? I wouldn't like to coach a big team in Italy unless it's AC Milan, because I am a huge fan.

You're basically looking for someone like Udinese. This is what they do IRL though have sold most of their interesting players.. I would say the highest you can go on this scale is Tottenham in the EPL. You're not expected to win the league but obviously the inevitable success will promote more expectation. In Italy, Sampdoria and Atalanta have good youth systems and low expectations, while in Germany there some clubs with really good youth facilities - Leverkusen are pretty rich, have saleable assets and top youth facilities. Gladbach also worth investigating. While in England, look at Sunderland, Newcastle and Southampton. Saleable assets, lowish expectations and great youth set ups, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajduk: £60k - £75k Inter Zapresic: £22k - £30k Istra 1961: £60k - £80k GNK Dinamo: £2,17m Rijeka: £55k - £75k RNK Split: £100k - £140k Slaven Belupo: £85k - £120k Zagreb: £26k - £35k Lokomotiva would be my choice (not fancied) but have no budget. I'm not sure on media predictions but maybe Istra could be at that level for you? They're not a big fish, but any size fish over there are likely to be challenging nearer the top.

DaveMUFC Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I've gone back to the stage of FM where I'm really struggling to get into a save, I've started up about 20 games in the last week and can't get into any! The most recent save I've managed to get into a little bit has been Molde, as I'm a Man United fan and want to try and emulate Ole, they've also got a really young team... I'm looking for a team preferably which has quite a large squad, consisting mainly of younger players, and the more hot prospects the better! Also, a decent amount of money, with a good amount being made in the future would be nice, although I won't be Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City or Liverpool as I'm a Man United fan. I had a great save with Udinese and loved their setup of having a large squad, with lots of quality players out on loan and making money throughout the year, any suggestions would be great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

30.Beast Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Lorient don't fit your description. But then again your criteria is slightly contradictory due to the title/challenge part. I would say; France - St.Etienne; They won the league many times and were successful during the 70's/80's, but not since '81. Good squad. I don't think they are in Europe, but IRL are fighting for CL qualification and in the game it would be a challenge to get third, though definitely feasible. OM/Lyon; They have sold players and are in financial difficulty. Winning the league recently has been hard aswell, and not faring well in Europe either. Definitely fallen giants, and neither have won the league for 2 or 3 years Spain - Valencia; Financial problems but still some good players, and haven been CL regulars have recently succumbed to the same fate Liverpool have. Have not won the CL since 2001, nor the league title since 2004. Italy - Roma at the higher end of the spectrum, and Fiorentina at the lower end. I would say that OM/OL, Roma or more specifically Valencia fit your criteria of being the Liverpool of Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pafeu Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Lorient in their history won only French Cup once, nowhere near fallen giants but they IRL producing attractive football and promoting players to bigger clubs, that's reason I'm playing with them right now - I feel like they deserve more success than promoting players and even rarely getting money for them. And fighting PSG is also good challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30.Beast Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yes I agree. Lorient have a strange history, considering they have most been amateur as far as I know. They also have some good players - Escude is a favourite of mine. A good shout, but I think OL/OM suit his criteria more, though I rather would play as St.Etienne or Nice. Aubameyang is an asset. Shame Ligue 1 is dealing with such an exodus of players. Toulouse also had a great potential pre-January but lost Sissoko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
