MBarbaric Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 they have a lot of games, but state championships are played in Feb-April period and brasileirao is played may-december so they play these 88 matches over 12 months. but yes, most of the time it is Sunday-Wednesday, especially for the top teams. however, only 2 to 4 teams reach the final of the cup competitions so it really isn't that bad and it gives a lot of playing time for top prospects of youth teams.

jstu9 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Yeah, that pretty much sums up why I only managed in Brasil for one season. (Won Copa Libertadores with Sao Paulo) It was fun but the season seemed to last forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakarooney Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I guess it would be great if you were going for a certain challenge such as 1000 appearances/goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vasilli07 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'm talking about the game. I believed my team was awarded 20 pks or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigd84 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 WOW 20 that is actually a lot of PK's. But saying that there is like 88 games potentially in their seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
will221996 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 its also worth noting with alot of the games for the big clubs are against really small teams so they can play a weaker side. For the small clubs most state championships have knockout bits and they exit the cups quiet quickly. Its better for the clubs because more ticket money(if they do their wages with any competence) and not much more wage bill. In brazil to the best of my knowledge the state championships matter a lot no matter how small the opposition and big matches will always have decent attendance.

Trent71 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Really enjoyed my Santos save and I highly recommend Brazil! It was fun playing the kids in the State champ (though when I say kids, my first team had an average age of 20, while the kids were all teens). Also the low release clauses for young talents means that you can easily build a reserves and u18 team with 5* talents. My Santos team was the biggest destroyer I ever built on FM/CM. I also love heavily rotating, so competing across many competitions was no problem. I probably will have a Chape save on FM18. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmattb28 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I did 2 seasons on FM15 with Coritiba, they had been relegated I think so took over and my god it felt like the season went on forever! On my current save I do have Brazil loaded and am thinking about applying for jobs there later on in the save but prob only going to be there the 1 season this time.

Pow4FM Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I enjoyed my Brazil save with Gremio. It's something different and it's not like you don't have a massive squad to deal with all the fixtures. I would recommend Brazil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
