Should beat most middling and lower sides in the league but teams like Sevilla, Valencia, Bilbao and of course Barca/Real will give you a strong game. Otherwise you could look at Marseille in France, any of the Spanish teams listed above; Roma/Inter/Fiorentina in Serie A perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other: I would like a team that has a youngster to build around. Be it a goalkeeper, defender, midfielder or striker. I would also like for the team to have good youth facilities (junior coaching and recruitment network). Something like Feirense in FM13, though not Feirense.

But I'm not starting a long-term save in the demo, so I might play around with other teams to try tactics that the initial Hamburg squad isn't really capable of.

Seems to me your main decider would be the European competition you want to play in. I don't think any of these would be too hard to challenge the title with, Tottenham has the better youth and training facilities if that makes a difference to you. But yeah, the main difference would be if you want to play Champions League and play against some major European forces, Europa League and maybe go for the silverware there or just focus on the BPL without distractions.

They start with a decent squad, over £4M in the bank and only expect a mid-table finish so you should be given time to build them in your mould. On the flipside you have no transfer budget at game start, but as a long term project this shouldn't be too much of a biggie.

I am looking for a challenge in the English league with a side that has never won the league. Also, with RSB Leipzig do you struggle to attract players as they are a new club and in Germany.

For example, a ser versions ago I got Fleetwood to the EPL and had Rooney upfront but dont want to start a long terms game and game a side that can not attract players. Not sure if there is a direct equivalent in England. If it's a lower league team with potential to compete at the top then Wolves in the English 3rd tier is an obvious one. But they have won the league albeit 50odd years ago. Or Sheffield Utd? If it's a team with amazing youth facilities and recruitment, then maybe Crewe? I'm just tinkering with RSB Leipzig as a quick beta save but have attracted a few players on free's that are more than good enough for that division by adjusting the wage budget, moving on some of the deadwood. Bearing in mind Leipzig were promoted in to that division irl last season without losing a league game, so already have a very good side for that level (Frahn and Poulsen, their two SC's are hot; the latter already a very good Danish U21 international). I've got a couple very good older players and a few of very decent looking 1. Bundesliga youth players who are German U19 internationals already saying they'd be interested in joining, but you don't have a transfer budget in the first season so I can't get them yet though I don't see a problem in attracting in the future. I'm halfway through the first season and getting crowds of 15000, so I don't think this club is a Crewe or Fleetwood in terms of ceilings. That said, I know nothing about the team irl, so maybe somebody who does can chip in as to their potential? They look like the new Hoffenheim to me, their rise up the divisions looks space rocket-ish (they were only formed in 2009!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

History is not important as I don't follow the league and can't watch the games stateside. I just want to have a team that I can also see in real life when I visit in early 2014. Any suggestions?

Orient aren't far behind in terms of crowds and are doing really well in the League this season (currently top, only lost 1 of 14 games) so I'd go for them. Average attendance compared to others in their league is important to me in FM so a yardstick I always look at, it shows a) how much money I can make or sustain and b) shows some potential for me to stand a chance of taking them to the promised land. *And if you're going to see them irl, ave attendance is never a bad place to start; you want some atmosphere in games and not be there with just you and one man and his dog stood behind the goal sipping stewed tea in an empty-ish ground. Them being competitive in the league is a bonus on that as well.

I had a nightmare pre-season though, so don't worry if it's a slow starter. You're the top passing team in that league and the board insist on the 'keep possession' philosophy and the FULCRUM seems to suit. I'm currently 4th at Xmas.
