Particularly at a lower level, your Director of Football will tend to produce a couple of excellent obscure recommendations. Use your Director of Football for transfer suggestions: Not many people seem to know this, but if you click on the ‘Transfers’ tab, then ‘Director of Football’ and ‘Suggest Transfer Targets’ then you get an instant scouting tool. They are ready to rebuild from League One, meaning a fairly easy first year of a project, but the ultimate goal is to win the Premier League – their first since 1936 and seventh in total. Sunderland: The darkest days are surely behind Sunderland now. Having narrowly survived relegation last season it won’t be easy getting Athletic into Europe, never mind breaking the triolopy in Spain. Parma have won the Coppa Italia three times and the UEFA Cup twice… but never Serie A.Īthletic Bilbao: Only Barcelona and the two Madrid clubs have won La Liga more times than Athletic’s eight, and yet they (or any Basque club) haven’t won the title since 1984. It’s been pretty dull managing the Italian club in previous versions of the game, simply because it was so easy winning each division on the way to the top flight, but now you can jump straight into a real challenge. Parma: Finally back in Serie A, Parma have been climbing the ladder since reforming in 2015 following bankruptcy. The 10-time Ligue 1 champions haven’t tasted success since 1981 knocking PSG off the top would be one hell of an achievement. Try to win the Champions League within four years and mark the occasion on the 40 th anniversary of Villa’s 1982 European Cup triumph.ĪS Saint-Etienne: The French club have already got this project off the ground, finishing seventh in 2017-18, but this is nothing in comparison to Saint-Etienne’s rich history. Top five… sleeping giants to rescueĪston Villa: With easily the best squad in the Championship and a £50million transfer budget once promoted, Aston Villa are arguably the simplest team on the game to bring back to the top. He has great stamina (17) and teamwork (13) for a direct winger in his particular mould. With every single mental and physical attribute in the double digits, Tonali is the all-rounder that’s so hard to find on FM19.ĭennis Man: The cheapest player on this list will cost around £5million from Romania, and yet Man is a significantly more talented winger than the vast majority of the more renowned wonderkids on the game. Sandro Tonali: The Brescia teenager will happily sign for any Premier League club at the beginning of the game, and, although his stats aren’t particularly high, Tonali is a very consistent performer when deployed as a box-to-box central midfielder.
His dribbling and agility both stand out for a player in his position, making Majer a cross between a playmaker and a centre-forward. Lovro Majer: Available for just a couple of million from Dynamo, Majer is a number 10 with all the flair and technical ability of Felix, albeit without quite the same potential. It’ll take a couple of seasons before he’s any good, but he boasts technique, passing, first touch, and vision all 17 or higher by the age of 20. Joao Felix: Within three years Felix becomes the best attacking midfielder on the game, and he can usually be signed for less than £10million early on in the game. One such is Celtic’s centre-back Ajar, a bargain buy at £10million who blends immaculate defensive attributes with passing (16), teamwork (17), and leadership (17).
Kristoffer Ajar: Most of the game’s wonderkids are prohibitively expensive and will only sign for Europe’s leading clubs, but there are some gems who are willing to play for any mid-table Premier League side – as long as you act fast.
Top five… wonderkids (you can actually sign) So if you need a reason to fire up the game again, here’s our ‘top fives’ in a variety of categories to gives you some new ideas for clubs to manage, players to sign, and formations to use:
Perpetual underachievers since the early-90s, it’d be great to see this famous and well-supported club challenging at the peak of Italy’s top-flight.Three months after the release of Football Manager 2019, by now you’re probably either bored of your usual go-to clubs and players, or you’re so frustrated by the game’s complexity that you’ve given up on it. In the last 20 years, the club has bounced between Italy’s top two divisions, but you probably know them for signing the odd maverick in recent years – Bruno Alves and Marco Borriello have been on the books recently, while the much-beloved Darijo Srna left Shakhtar to join them over the summer. Personally, the idea of coaching at the Stadio Sant’Elia – in the beautiful setting of Sardinia – is what dreams are made of.Īnd from a Football Manager perspective, taking the hot seat at Cagliari is one of the tastier roles in Serie A.
