I've seen several versions of this challenge and would like to follow these principles:
- Focus on players who are transfer listed, loan listed, free or running out their contract.
- Disregard factors such as age, nationality, reputation etc.
- Scout nations without inflated prices, instead focus on leagues with cheap players, like Scandinavia, Serbia etc.
- Make smart deals with the ambition of improving results and winning games, not to make a profit.
I think it would make sense if the club was:
- Predicted to be in the relegation battle.
- Have a small budget compared to mid-table and top clubs in the league.
- Not be in the EPL, even the bottom teams are financial powerhouses.
- Be in a league that has a decent enough reputation to attract foreign players.
What club would you start a "Moneyball" type challenge with?

Any suggestions?
