Southampton, Tottenham, Liverpool, Shakhtar, Schalke .. they all have decent amounts of cash, or players you can flog off to have a bit more money to spend. There isn't many mid-low table teams in England with a lot of money to spend, you'd probably be looking at the top-6 in order to spend money ..

On my current save, I have bought so many Germans, so that could possibly be factored in as well. I've never played with another team than West Ham, so it should be interesting. See my post at #146. VfB Stuttgart could suit you. Great youth, massive stadium but still a challenge to break the top clubs. Everything is there for you to push into the next level. They always seem to produce great newgens in my saves, too. If you focus on building a team with majority being German, you should have a great time as it makes it that bit harder.

I can't bring myself to do it as my first save on FM A bit late...but why don`t you try a game with Dinamo Moscow? Just started with them myself. They have a lot of money (currently over £50M on my save) and a chairman that will settle for european qualification spot the first season. I got £30M to spend on transfers and £1.2M on wages. They have some good youngsters in the squad and a lot of quality players like Igor Denisov, Christopher Samba, Balázs Dzsudzsák and Kevin Kurányi. And two goalkeepers that are on the russian nationalside. The club will also be moving into a brand new 33 000-seater stadium in 2016. The league rules in Russia also make it more challenging with only allowed to have 7 non-russian players on the pitch at same time. A good reason to develop/buy russian talents.

You have a few good young players in each first team, and no European competition. There are many young French players that can be acquired or loaned in, but Ligue 1 has a reputation that can allow you to bring in cheap youngsters from places like Holland/Belgium too. You also have the luxury of the ACP/Cotonou agreement, allowing you to sign cheap/free Africans with no WP problems. Belgian, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish clubs might also be worth a look - although there isn't so much there outside of European competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillCross Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Club: Achilles '29Division: Dutch 1st division Transfer Budget: 0 Wage Budget: 500k euro Finances: You will make around a 180k a month probably for the first year. Balance when you start is probably 500k. Board Expectation(s): Don't get relegated Key Players: All your players are amateurs, you have to sign a whole squad. Levi Raja Boean is a beast though up to low-Eredivisie standards. Pros: -Challenging -unique (this team is the first amateur team to get promoted to Dutch 1st div. now the rules have changed.) -you can build your own club from the ground up. -you will make a huge profitt the first 2 years because TV rights > your wage costs by far. Huge meaning around 180k Euro's a month 1st season which is loads for a team like this. -regens will all be from the town Achilles is from (Groesbeek) at least the first few years. Cons: -very low status, players often don't want to join -you might lose a lot the first 2 seasons, I only got promoted after 4 seasons. -small stadium (4k), bad training/youth facilities -most players aren't good enough (you are the worst team in the league at the start), you have to get a lot of free transfers in, that said there are tons of clubless Dutch players. I recommend Osama Rashid and Gino Pieters (if he is free, he becomes a beast for this level up to low Eredivisie level.) Level of Difficulty (1-10 with 10 being difficult): I would say 7+. Seriously this challenge is unique and I can't recommend it enough. Thanks for this, kazm. I had not heard of Achilles '29 before this and it is a unique challenge. thus far (6 games in) am mid-table having signed 18 free transfers and only missed on a couple of players I wanted. I have not had problems signing the players as most weren't wanted by anyone else. The board doesn't seem to mind that I am 28% over my salary budget, since we are making $200K-250K per month or paying the occasional agent fee despite no transfer budget. My favorite signing has been 40 yo Eric van de Merwe who has terrible physical, great technical skills but according to his history hadn't played a competitive game this century Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyshrimper Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 May not be the right part of the forums to ask, but here goes anyway. I've been playing a journeyman game on FM14 - spent a few months in Israel and then Holland without success, took on a role in Denmark where I won my first trophy, the board slashed the budgets and wage bill, so I walked and got offered the Lille job, which I took. However, in less than a season it all went very sour and I got sacked ! Gutted, but not surprised given my performance. So, on to the advice - I have 2 job offers on the table as follows: CFR Cluj in Romania - a £975k transfer budget, a wage budget of £85K, predicted to finish 3rd, club valued at £4.8m - club 7th in league with a handful of games left to play, so budgets will no doubt get reviewed for next season and there are a few transfers in already lined up. Metalist Kharkiv in Ukraine - transfer budget £7m, wage budget £325k, predicted to finish 3rd, club value £36m - I ran game on a bit from the Cluj offer, so this is at the end of the season, so these budgets will be for the next season. No transfers lined up. Kharkiv are clearly the bigger club, both reputationally and financially, but they have a much smaller squad than Cluj and have 10 foreign players in a league where you an only name 7 in your match day squad - any player who is not Ukrainian is considered foreign. There seem to be fewer constraints in Romania and for this reason I'm leaning toward Cluj. The chances of success seem similar with either club - although the chances of actually overhauling Shaktar seems unlikely - again, here I'm leaning toward Cluj. Your views would be much appreciated thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jogo Bonito Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Shrimper, I don't do journeyman saves but if it was me, I would go for Cluj. You can pick up a whole team for £975k, not that you probably need to. Your recruits can be from a much wider talent pool, and you have a genuine chance of winning the title. As a matter of interest, which team in Israel did you manage and how did you find it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogo Bonito Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I had a short time at Beitar Jerusalem (a festive special), and enjoyed the league and players available there. But the more I found out about the club in reality, the more uncomfortable I found it to be managing them. I'm definitely going to take on either Maccabi Tel Aviv or Maccabi Haifa in the near future though.

Ryknow Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Cluj from me too. I dislike league constraints/rules/registrations that why I find the Bundesliga the best to manage in. Cluj sounds a good challenge, but seeing as I'm all about youth prospects from the clubs nationality I'd be looking at the Romanian pool of newgens vs the Ukrainian one. However I'm sure Shakhtar would have the best Ukrainain ones on their books already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dynamo Dresden suits your needs perfectly, there is the thread about them in this very same subforum I started (therefore I'm recommending them in the first place ) although it has been pretty inactive recently as I'm waiting for the final patch to start a proper save.

Mooki3 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Nation:Spain, Germany or ItalyDivision: Doesn't matter, but not too low European Competition: Doesn't matter Media Prediction: Doesn't matter Board Expectation(s): Doesn't matter Transfer Budget: Doesn't matter Wage Budget: Doesn't matter Finances: Doesn't matter Other:It needs to have something interesting about them. Interesting background or origin story, it could be a giant fallen a long way down. Anything, how to say, unique about them. I know it's weird, but this is a quirk of mine, i cannot play with boring or ordinary team, i lose interest very quickly.

Dokara Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Thank you guys, great suggestions. I'm divided between St. Pauli and Dresden, already played with Pro Vercelli (started two times, got fired on both occasions, first time in Serie B, second after failing to qualify for CL after playing in final year before). Wanted to go to Germany for a while, since FM 2012 i haven't managed team from that country. And Leipzig, too many people already play with them...

enders357 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I've just had the unpleasant experience of being sacked and feel like I need to start a new game soon and freshen it up. I realise this thread is usually used to set criteria for a club and then people make relevant suggestions but there's a few clubs I'm thinking of starting with and just can't decide which. So, can someone stick these names in a hat and pull one out for me? Atletico Madrid, Southampton, Juventus, Tottenham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
