So with the limited budget as didnt have much wage budget, what sort of ins did I manage to do? plus T. Mokoena for 500k from SuperSport Colidio I had a uture fee clause in the loan, so this was a bargain My squad for season 2 is essentially this

With very relaxed rulea in dutch football, i end up with all sorts of players incoming. Hopefully the youth academy provides some dutch core
Any other Norwegian players that could do a job within top end dutch football that i could get for 2m or less?

I haven't touched the game in a good while now, steam says I've played 1 hour in the last 2 weeks... I had a brief save in Japan that I was really enjoying but then it kept crashing on the same date and wasn't fixable, so that kinda killed my motivation. Not as much league megapacks kicking about these days, which would've given me something fun to run with. I've been playing CM01/02 but do want to come back to FM. Might see about starting a new save later. Glad there's still some posting going on here though EDIT: Started a save (Ruzomberok in Slovakia), spent about 2 hours getting everything set up, playing and winning my friendlies and being happy with my tactics. Everything was going great...then I lost my opening 5 games, had goals disallowed in 3 of them and my tactic was absolutely awful. I miss the simplicity of CM and early FM games. The fact that a single TI or PI can seemingly render a tactic useless more and more now is just depressing. I want to love FM, but it's making it very difficult to do that

Went for a walk, watched a movie, figured I'd give another idea a shot. Not saying I've cracked it, lads, but I might be the best in the world at this game.

So, to the surprise of absolutely nobody the above save didn't work out We had a solid 1st season, finishing 3rd in the league and then capitulated in season two, so I figured I would try something I've never really given my full attention to; The MLS. Safe to say that it was a solid 1st season and Brenner is an absolute don.

I forgot to do a test holiday save before this to see if the format changes, but I'm hoping it does. Second season has been a lot less consistent than the first, and whilst we're doing well continentally (we're into the CL semi's) we're struggling in the league. However, given it'll give us some better draft picks, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

USA was fun but didn't stay fun. The rules, whilst somewhat understandable, aren't explained well at all and I was struggling to really understand the salary cap and how my actions impacted it. So, I figured that seeing as I'm currently trying to learn Polish, whilst reading a book on Polish football history and planning to visit Poland, I may as well start a save there. I opted for the oldest existing team from Warsaw, and one of the oldest in the country, Polonia Warsaw. I figured that like most of my saves, it'd fall by the wayside and after maybe one promotion I'd get sacked and start again. umm So yeah, we've had two straight league titles and we're currently top of the I Liga, which is the second tier of Polish football. I have no idea what's happening, I'm using a super basic 4-4-1-1, we have no money and I've made about 6 signings. I know Polonia were in the top tier about 10 years ago, but jesus.

That is what always drew me to the Polish league, it's basically a perfect middle ground to set yourself up in. Croatia (Dinamo), Czech (Prague(s)) etc all have one or two big teams, or are in such small leagues with one massive team (Basel, Slovan Bratislava, Maribor, Red Star/Partizan) etc, whereas Poland has a really competitive league with multiple strong teams, plenty of good facilities and it's just nice. The relaxed foreigner rules are nice too, tbf

If i was a middling second tier polish side, is the u21 bonus worth middling for, for few seasons? or would it not help the finances?

So it's either not working or we're not playing enough youngsters, which isn't likely. I'll see if it works in the top tier. In theory, it would be enough to just about keep us in the black at the end of most seasons. There's also apparently payments for international appearances, but I don't know what the criteria is for that and how much it is. That would be a welcome bonus though. I just need the payouts to work, some decent sponsorships and attendance money. If we can find a few players that I can bring in (we've no money) that would eventually be sold for a profit, that will provide us with a solid start. If we can survive in the Ekstraklasa this season, then we might be okay.

recently tried and had failed starts with Veije, Slagese and Hillerod in various levels of Denmark and Malmo IFK in Sweden.
Have ended up starting a save in Portugals second tier with Feirense and it seems so far that im getting a mini hook to it.

Torn between A second tier mexican side alebrijes.
Or top flight side shamrock rovers.
Shamrock, although league holders do not really have recent successes dispite being most decorated in ireland,
Ireland also have no fgn player rules, shamrock are meant to produce decent irish players.
Alebrijes are a mexican side that play all in black. In real life mexican second tier sides cant get promoted until 2025, a quick sim in fm22 and pro/rels started up again come the third season
1 up 1 down. I suspect being a lower mex side to be rather tough.
May run them both side by side, 1 should hopefully stick!

Alebrijes sounds fun, the Mexican league is nuts. Some crazy kits as well!

Though i think first two seasons there is a fairly large reward for mx expansion sides.
I know the top flight sides finishing near bottom end up with very large fines.
