heathxxx Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Heath, until I read the last issue of WSC I hadnt realised how well Grenada were doing, congrats. Not so much lower League anymore!, hope you do a LLM Thread maybe for Thurrock (love those kits). Of course I shall be wading around the ,lower reaches of the Blue Square signing a legion of unkowns with Scrabble busting names, I just like it that way. If I do an FM12 Lower Leagues thread in the tactics forum, I've a sneaky feeling I'll probably start with Truro in the BSS. I lived in Cornwall for a couple of years and it's nice to see a Cornish team get that high up the non-league pyramid. I always tend to play as teams I've seen, or who's progress I've followed. That said, I've always started my lower league saves in England, with the exception of Granada CF when they were in the Segunda B4, so it might be interesting to start somewhere else for a change.

liam bell Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 First save, I'm quite fancying Cardiff City. Followed by a journeyman save with 6-7 3 and a half stars or less loaded. See if DLP has improved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minisav Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It all depends on which team takes my fancy out of the ones that get promoted into the 3rd division after a season of holidaying in Germany. I love the CSE forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anystroem Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Portland Timbers (for all the reasons I stated under the best fans thread)... if they are included, otherwise, I won't even buy the game. B.S. move to not have them included this year, but somehow it feels like it's in line with some sort of general attitude towards the MLS in the game.

Bracken Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Mine will be in this order: 1. Chelsea, my team, and always a nice easy save to get my into the game. 2. Chelmsford City - a nice lower league challenge, and my local team. 3. Unemployed, journeyman save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the real life team is like, but my save as Litex in FM11 has been great fun. I'm going to give Malmo a go in FM12, and hope a save as them will be as fun as my Litex save.

Sir_Liam Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I've got 3 clubs in mind.

Herter Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I the foundation there its just getting them going i always have a slump after xmas always :confused: Well I should mention that I took me like many years to actually get really big.. I think I won EPL in 2018-20-ish and then CL in 2022-23-ish. Best thing about it was that 3 of my best players were all from youth squad and all were internationals for England. and two of them only had 2,5 stars PA, but alot of training and playing time and when they were 24-ish they were the best in england in their position.

Luton Town Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 A quick go with Luton and then A long save with Neath until with patch 3 and then Luton from patch 3 onwards.

samb_95 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 For the demo, maybe Man Utd, then will be going for Millwall like I always do and also Anzhi as that will be very fun indeed!

gmilitao Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think about in start a long term save in Dover Athletic. Rushden was my favorite, but the team goes to administration... bad.

jasonboyacmilan Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 As always firstly I'll start a game with AC Milan, making them a dominant force in the whole world, and make a whole team with Italian players from the youth academy at some point. Then the usual journeyman save, loading lots of leagues throughout the world. Last, I'll start a game in the Albanian leagues, either with the recently promoted to the Superleague Pogradeci FK, or the sleeping giants and recently relegated to the 3rd tier, Partizani Tirana, will try and win the Champions League with them.

Galvanize Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 My first save will probably be Chelsea, as it is first choice every season. Probably then do my home town of Corby, especially with the new stadium hopefully increasing finances well. Surprised Sunderland hasn't been mentioned in this thread as of yet. The defence possibilities of O'Shea, Brown, Ferdinand, Turner, Bardsley and Bramble is too good to turn down! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
