nickbirdspain Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Into my third season of a Blackpool and despite promotions and top five finishes i'm starting to get a little itchy feet. Looking to start up a new save - one side of the coin i'm looking at one of the European giants i.e. Valencia, A.Madrid, Inter or AC, the other, English conference level. i had an amazing save with Gateshead taking them all the way to the prem in five seasons and i'd love to recreate that. There aren't many threads on lower league clubs and i was just wondering what peoples experiences have been? Who are the big players and which clubs have the strongest set up. Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few good youngsters (Wolski, Zyro, Kucharczyk, Kosecki, Lukasik), and experienced players (Ljiuboja, Radovic, Kuciak, Zewlakow). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzy D Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nation: Clubs from the five big leagues Division: Top European Competition: Not necessary Media Prediction: Middle of the table Board Expectation(s): Same here, around middle. Transfer Budget: Don't really care, but the more money the better. Wage Budget: Same. Finances: Just a club with good potential. Don't need to be a rich club. Other: Since I wanna try out a 4-3-3 tactic, I would like a team that don't have to much wingers from the start. If they do, they shall be easy to sell off.

The Shaman Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nation: Continental Europe (preferred, but I'd go anywhere) Division: Second or below, just not top tier European Competition: N/A Media Prediction: somewhere around mid-table. Don't want to be expected to go up, but also don't want to it to be a constant struggle to stay up. Board Expectation(s): something like the above, finishing 12/20 hopefully shouldn't be bad enough to get me sacked Transfer Budget: N/A Wage Budget: not in the red to start out Finances: not in the red to start out Other: -I don't like to dabble excessively in transfers, I have the types of careers where I can stay in one spot for 10-15 years and only bring in 8-10 players via outside transfer during that time. -Am also ok with a career where I'm constantly staying around mid-table, I don't need promotion to feel like I'm being fulfilled in FM (spent 27 consecutive years in Ligue 2 on FM11 and was ok with that, though I had to re-make my manager once or twice after the sack). -Would like some decent youth to start out with and have the capability of producing more as time goes on. Not worldbeaters, but guys who are decent for their level. -Nice colors would be good too, lol. I almost always seem to have my longest saves with Havre in Ligue 2. They probably fit the profile of what I'm looking for here too, and while I wouldn't be devastated to have a go with them again I'd love to hear any other suggestions you have.

Gooner88 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ligue 2 does sound like the best fit, maybe Le Havre, Nantes or Lens? Other than that maybe bundesliga 2, Bochum and Duisberg have a few good youngsters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooner88 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'm looking for a team in the championship that I can crack on with tonight. I've always had good games in this league with all sorts of different teams. I'm not too bothered about money, just a team with a few good players, nice kit and potential. Had a game with Charlton this season already but accidentally got promoted and then ruined the save by going mad on free transfers so I wouldn't want to be them again. Would consider lower league than this for good challenge. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickbirdspain Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I've just finished a save with Blackpool - great step up, decent finances, able to attract good quality loans + orange kit!

vasilli07 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Like to recommend a team called Hannover 96 for players who want to manage in the Bundesliga. They have a good core of German youngsters like Ron-Robert Zieler, Manuel Schmiedebach, Lars Stindl and Konstantin Rausch with some veterans like Karim Haggui, Szabolcs Huszti, Jan Schlaudraff and Sergio Pinto.

Someone Else Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hey guys I've got a bit of a different recommendation to make for people trying to find a team. I find it hard sometimes to get into various saves and to choose a team, so what I've started to do in FM 12 and now in FM 13 is to only takeover teams who have sacked their managers in real life. It makes the save a little more realistic and is a good alternative to just diving in with a team. There are a few good options to from ranging from the big clubs like Chelsea, Valencia and Schalke to some of the relegation battlers QPR, Espanyol, Genoa and Wolfsburg. Anyway just wanted to offer something different for anyone out there struggling to find a team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrix Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 For any players looking for an extremely tough challange Try GFC Ajaccio Ligue 2 Wage Budget - 50k Transfer Budget - N/A Media Prediction - 20th Facilities - Minimal Youth Facilities and basic training facilities..... 3500 seater stadium. Depth of team - Lots of improvements needed. Recommended tactics - 4-3-3, 4-2-1-2-1, 4-1-2-1-2 Star Players - Bocognano (cb), Mandrichi (str) Previous History - Back to back promotions from CFA & National over the past two years has made them a professional club in Ligue 2. I would say to any prospective players the reason to play them is to truly test your abilities as a fm player. Once in Ligue 1.... don't expect much transfer money.... don't expect an increase in wage budget. I should mention that a Long term save with this club is very achievable as they will accept a request for a new stadium. They will usually build an 18,000 seater. Also the rivalry with Ac Ajaccio and SC Bastia in Ligue 1 could be interesting providing they stay up in Ligue 1 if you get/when you are promoted.

Pakito Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hello kids, Any suggestion for a team full of senators in urgent need of youth not to crumble? Think of Milan before this year. In short I want good/great tutors and either some decent/good youth or enough cash to bring it in. No need to be on the brink of collapse, a couple of seasons margin before the bulk of the players don't have it anymore is fine. European football: whatever. A team with lesser prospects and low-ish on cash could also be fine, as long as the board is fine with a downsizing from serious contender to also-ran - again, think of Milan (dunno if such thing is possible in FM though). EDIT: any league, possibly a biggish one (ENG, SPA, ITA, FRA, GER, POR preferred) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
