No offence, but surely you'd have more fun taking a team that isn't as rich in talent and funds as Barcelona (or other "Power" teams) to the top?No offence, but surely you'd have more fun taking a team that isn't as rich in talent and funds as Barcelona (or other "Power" teams) to the top?

Tell me this, friends, as someone who hasn't bothered with any of these FM games for many years: Is it possible to build a successful/dominant team of your own ex-youths and natives, sticking to just say English players (if playing in the English) league, Italian if playing in the Italian, etc? Or... as I gather from when most people list their teams, is it essential to find and buy current and future stars from around the world?Tell me this, friends, as someone who hasn't bothered with any of these FM games for many years: Is it possible to build a successful/dominant team of your own ex-youths and natives, sticking to just say English players (if playing in the English) league, Italian if playing in the Italian, etc?

So could rimpie build Club Brugges into a strong European force using just (or significant majority) Belgian players? Could WK do the same with Welsh players for Cardiff? Could someone make Athletic Bilbao into a dominant force in Spain, while sticking to their traditional "Basque only" transfer policy?So could rimpie build Club Brugges into a strong European force using just (or significant majority) Belgian players?

Still playing 2012, can't quit..I will never build something with Club Brugge, proud supporter of RSC Anderlecht :) Maybe with another little team like Gent of Lokeren.

I've built a team with Athletic Club every fm as it's the most enjoyable game for me to build a team of Basque players and have to produce the majority of your team. Thats a extreme attempt at a HG team as you can't even sign Spanish players unless their Basque.I've built a team with Athletic Club every fm as it's the most enjoyable game for me to build a team of Basque players and have to produce the majority of your team.

That is an extremely fun thing to do. It makes the game far more interesting. That is why I don't understand people who pick Barça, and other dominant teams in their leagues. I made a great career using Athletic Bilbao (as you said, you can only sign Basque players). However, I could never won La Liga (2nd place was my best mark). Also, if you invest your money in the youth installments and try to poke young players from other teams, in a long term you can build a great team out of a lousy one. You should give it a try :)

I started with "Stalybridge Celtic" which is in Blue Square Bet North League ( If premier is 1st, this league is 6th ) and in 4 years I promoted 4 and now I'm in Championship League ( 2nd league ). But I could not signed with good players because we are very poor team. :D Only Africans accepting less values but since there is work permit, I can't transfer them. Seems I'll try not to relegate this season. Also I managed Congo DC for a while and then I am managing Sweden National Team, with Stalybridge. It is going nice. :) My shining stars are "Emmanuel Eboue" and "Abou Diaby" :)I started with "Stalybridge Celtic" which is in Blue Square Bet North League ( If premier is 1st, this league is 6th ) and in 4 years I promoted 4 and now I'm in Championship League ( 2nd league ).
