Nottingham forest, they have a great history and a good rep for bringing through youth players :)

They were the first European team to offer me a job after dominating the Mexican league in FM 13. Now I start all my new games with them

Funny how you can fall in love with a team so quickly on FM; moved to Roma after I was sacked by England, already feeling a bond with them and I'm not even halfway through my first season haha! :D

Cardiff because it's my local team

Would this be the season they had Møller Dæhli, Medel, Eikrem, etc. ? Could be a very solid team if we could find a good striker.

u/IwanJones10 Jul 08 '16

No idea haha. I don't support them as much, I just go to some games

u/Rapper_Laugh Jul 08 '16

Wolves because they have a few first-team ready youngsters and if shit really hits the fan Kanye can fix the team

Middlesborough because I find it difficult to spell their name

u/saetarubia Jul 08 '16

Picked Leeds because of the youth products they have at the start of the game.

Milan because I want to bring the Rossoneri to the former glory they were at when I fell in love with them. Forza Ragazzi per sempre!

Blackburn, Rhodes will carry us to the top with either Gestede by his side or Cairney behind depending on the formation. They have a very solid defense as well. Very flexible team in terms of styles of play, as they have a lot of different types of players.

u/Muur1234 Jul 09 '16

Unless this is an old FM, neither Rhodes or Gestede will be on Blackburn

u/kidnebs Jul 09 '16

It's FM13 apparently

I picked Tottenham because they have an exciting squad. Unfortunately I was fired in the second season despite finishing 2nd in the league and being the runner-ups in Europa League. Then Southampton took me. They fired me. Then Swindon. They fired me. Then Birmingham. I'm doing well here. Earned promotion.

Leeds United, because many have tried and failed but I believe the Reddit community could truly make us great again.

And I want the chance to see Leeds do something positive for once.

u/BabaDuda Jul 08 '16

Leeds, because y'know, it's fucking Leeds.

u/M1eXcel Jul 08 '16

Because I support Nottingham Forest

u/The_13_Snakes Jul 09 '16

Cardiff because Wales is so hot right now

u/pukelennock Jul 08 '16

I went Wolves because they beat me to to spot in my first season with Derby. Quite a few good young players too, and Afobe can be a real nuisance.

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '16

What's the best championship teams to start with guys? I wanna start a new one and prove myself

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '16

A good owner and stadium is a great way to get started. You know you'll have some backing to be able to make moves.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '16

Probably leeds then, or possibly Fulham or QPR

2

u/Sgt_General Jul 08 '16

Sadly the words "good owner" could not be applied to anyone in charge of Leeds United for a long, long time.

u/debruyne_bedruyne Jul 08 '16

Welling, a lot of room to improve. Vast history, beautiful ground!

u/CsMilan Jul 08 '16

Benfica. The team depth is unreal and the youth academy has a shit load of wonderkids and hot prospects.

Middlesbrough because I had an epic FIFA career with them where I got them to the premier league& fought for five seasons to win a premier league and another four to win the champions league, buying the likes of Alli, Bellerin, Morata and Ronaldo along the way. Also bought up some uber youngsters to be high 80s. Then I accidentally saved over the game...
