Need a fun club post winter update

[Pablo Sanchez]

Fire away please!

[Sunderland AFC]

I fancy a Chelsea save. Bloated squad, huge wage bill and £300m+ owed out in transfer insyallents so no doubt financial restraints down the line compared to city, Newcastle and United etc.

I don't know what you consider fun but I play with Portimonense and the board accepts everything. It's so satisfying. Easy league too. Would you try that?

[bluenonny]

Preston North End - The original invincibles over a 22-game season way back. 

Very small squads for 1st team, U21's & U18's giving chance to build and develop

[DominicForza]

Athletic Club - arguably the most fun for a long term save with the club policy of Basque only players (and youth players trained in Bilbao) in top league.   Requires developing youth players into first time.  Good challenge to be consistent top 4 and big challenge to win league, but is doable.

 

Any Turkish Super Lig club - arguably the most fun league to play.  The generous allotment of foreign players makes familiar players from Europe and elsewhere potential targets but the requirements to play Turkish players also gives an exotic flavor if you arent familiar with Turkish football.  A real blend of exotic and familiar.   Its fun as a mid to bottom table team to try to build and get up with the big boys (I used to like to play as Bursaspor, but they're in 3rd tier after being relegated last season).  It is also fun to play as one of the big boys - while dominating the league is pretty easy with Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas or Trabzonspor, it is a challenge in Champions League.  

 

Union Berlin or SC Freiburg - Challenge of replicating, let alone bettering, their performance last few seasons is a challenge, especially if you're used to playing with bigger, richer clubs.   Bundesliga is fun league with the Bayern juggernaut, very strong Dortmund and a half dozen or more clubs capable of making champion's league (let alone Europa) from season to season.  The 18 team league also makes relegation more of a presence if you're a mid table club.  

 

Hertha Berlin - sigh, Hertha.  How can die Alte Dame be so perennial underachievers.  You think (___ club) is poorly run and has disastrous transfer business, you aint seen nothin' til you seen Hertha!  I've enjoyed playing Hertha forever.  It IS possible to make them one of the top clubs in Germany, which it would seem they SHOULD be.  But they aint be. Not even close.  They start with a shockingly bad squad, as they are IRL.  It shouldn't be as big a challenge in FM as it is IRL to keep them up first season, but it will take some doing to close the gap on the European places.   It can be done, even in first seasons, with some good, bargain signings and loans, good tactics and some good managing players.  But you'll have to EARN it.      

[kopfan1977]

Cardiff city - Heck of a lot of debt (close to 100m) 

Squad wise - one or 2 semi decent prospects but nothing to write home about. No real standout players, solid if unspectacular. 

 

Burton Albion - World class facilities as they share youth facilities with England football team. Most likely very little funds wise and most likely a shocking team.

[Raymond85]

Udinese - 4-2-3-1 with Samardzic-Deulofeu-Thauvin behind Beto sounds really fun

[ThanatosAFC]

Brighton for sure, you've got everthing in hands to become an elite club in some years.

[dido53]

ı just started out wıth brentford and ıts goıng really good.Team is really good ım just havıng problems wıth cb 's and gk's they perform really bad and rb roerslav ıs very ınconsıstent.Otherwıse  team ıs really good ı hope ı wıll get some budget end of the season.Only downsıze ıs you are not gettıng good regens from academy you must sıgn them and also moneyball replıcatıon could be fun.I am 3th at the league nearly end of season.

Turkish league ıs fun but challengıng because foreıgn player rules.Most of the teams are not good ın fınancıal terms.ı am a Galatasaray fan so ı would defınately say gıve ıt a go (ıcardi mertens olıveıra torreıra mata zanıolo) really good squad brıngıng another european cup and domınatıng league ıs great.If you want to choose other than bıg clubs ı would go for teams wıth turkısh players to buılt up a team

One thing thats not mae clear - which i believe happened on FM21 or FM22 was the number of foreign players allowed was decresing each season, does this still happen on FM23 at all?

hope pictures help

 

[JawZy]

Ahha, i might start a Rizespor save, then in the future

[Jefke5]

French ligue 2, AC Le Havre

[kerrdavidson95]

Benfica is fun. 130 players across four squads, a decent mix of quality youngsters, good experienced first teamers and otherwise absolute dross. Plus they have the five star youth recruitment, coaching and training facilities.

In the league, Porto keep you honest, but making progress in the Champions League is proving challenging as I’m continuing to integrate young players as the years go on.

Can go down the nationalistic management route of only working with your own youth intake, or cast the net wider.

ı would choose ankaragucu they have fans and better team.Also ıf you choose süperlig beyond big teams adana demispor would be fun they have a good squad only need a strıker ın my opınıon

[JawZy]

Though I have also looked into trying Erzurumspor. (though im not keen on the fact they have a 1 year transfer embargo)
 

Edited April 12, 2023 by JawZy

[JawZy]

Ankaragucu are on my shortlist of potential sides to try and see if i get "hooked" to

Starting from third tier to top tier this is my shortlist of sides to try

Ankaraspor, Nazilli, Sanliurfaspor, Kocaelispor

Altay, Erzurumspor, Rizespor

Ankaragucu, Istanbulspor, Adana

and open to any of the big 3 /

I just started a save with Brighton. Great fun at the moment - some really good players if I can manage to keep hold of them. Just need to try and find a striker - I know we have Ferguson but want someone to lead the line for the first couple of years.

[dido53]

Udinese? They have Beto-Deulofeu-Thauvin-Samardzic and a very good defense

Had an amazing 1st season with great double, but I can’t find any challenge at serie a for a long time.

for a club who uses South American players i would recommend on Brighton.

[BadAss88]

I'm looking for a fun new save with a (sub)top-team in a European country (NO: England, Spain, Italy, Germany or France) with enough domestic competition so it won't get boring very fast. Some good finances, history, nice logo/kits, good players/talents are a big plus!

I, myself, was thinking of the following teams:
AA Gent
RSC Anderlecht
Hajduk Split
Sparta Praha
FC Kobenhavn
Panathinaikos
PSV
Benfica
Lech Poznan
Wisla Krakow
FC Basel
Grasshoppers Zürich
Galatasaray

Anyone else some recommondations or expericience with one of those teams?

Galatasaray ıs the team ı support ı defınately reccomend them because we have a really good and ınterestıng squad.We sıgned ıcardi mertens zaniolo sergıo oliveira,lucas torreıra,leo duboıs and some really good turkısh players kerem akturkoglu,yunus akgun,kazımcan.The goal ıs wın the league(every year ofcourse:) and brıng another european cup.(we wind the uefa cup ın 2000 and super cup at 2001.Only down sıde ıs  Foreıgn rules but you may see that as a challenge.

Benfica ıs also a great team to select ın my opınıon u have all the be succesfull  ın my opınıon fınd the rıght tactıc and u are ready to go.

Hajduk ıs also a great team but ı would go dınamo actually dethronıng dınamo would be quıte the job

I did a save with them a while a go. I quite enjoyed it. 

I will probably manage Luton as my first save on FM24.

Sevilla, Barcelona. Athletico Madrid. Marseille, PSG, Rayo Vallecano come to mind.

Maybe Ajax or PSV.

oh yeah, forgot about sevilla. Im thinking villareal aswell, i remeber riquelme playing for them.

[Aizo4576]

I’m trying to find a save but struggling to decide what. I want to go for a team that is top but not quite elite that I can make the best team in the world, focusing on youth. For example in FM21 I played a Roma save that was so good I never played FM22.

 

Can’t decide on anything this year, was thinking one of the following:

Brighton, Villareal, Napoli, Milan, Roma

 

could anyone suggest a team and maybe even some tactical guidance?

Villarreal or Roma for me. If I had to pick between them, then Villarreal imo.

Trying lower league at the moment but still after a club just struggling to fall in love

I'm looking for a fun subtopper with enough domestic competition with enough transferbudget to do some transfers, a club who focus on buying>developping>selling young talents, who preferably play in the preliminary rounds of European football.

 

Any suggestions?

I don't think RB Salzburg has enough domestic competition though.. They do have a fun squad but it would be very boring very quick beating everyone in Austria.

The other options of RB Leipzig and Dortmund are worth considering!

Same as RB Salzburg, they don't have any domestic competition..It's far too easy to dominate in your country which I find very boring!

[JawZy]

Aberdeen - Celtic and Rangers are the domestic competition, its easy to build up finances in scotland.
Widzew or Wisla in Poland

Hi, I'm looking for a club with young but already confirmed prospects in the big 5. Was thinking to VfL Wolfsburg but do you have any suggestions ?
