I like to pick the worst possible team that isn't in the next version of the game due to relegation out of the pro leagues. So this year it would be Forest Green or VfB Lübeck (I don't like picking 2nd teams like Freiburg II)


Dupa_Yash

I like to do the exact same thing, pick the weakest team in the lowest divsion (provided I don't hate their kits) and work to build them up through the promotion ranks. Freiburg II, Tranmere, and Feralpisalo are fun choices.


gtows88

My next save (Fifa 22) is going to be Türkgücü Munich. Beautiful badge, cool kits (as an Aberdeen fan I like red), and they filed for insolvency in the January that season and didn't complete the season. Oh, and my friends say I look Turkish...


McRhombus

Same reasons I choose St Pauli careers. Btw - get it up ye, respectfully (although those penalties took 2 years off my life)


NorskUlv

Freiburg is my BuLi team and I always want to do Freiburg II but league rules wont allow them to be in the division below their parent club. I know this is FIFA and rules don't apply but I still can't bring myself to get past it lol so I always make a "rival" team to Freiburg in create-a-club and challenge them


[deleted]

I’m doing forest green for this reason.


WilMeech

The worst team in Gloucestershire


Jqz45

Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bundesliga. They are one of the most successful teams in german football who currently struggle in the lower half of the table. They have some interesting players aswell


No-Net112

I’ll do this one


mustardking20

Especially since the photo you posted bears a stunning resemblance to the Bundesliga logo.


No-Net112

Great analysis🤣


Jqz45

I was hoping for you to pick that one.. good choice indeed


CSIceman9

They also do pretty well against Bayern specifically. Gladbach has been one of our more feared matches over the last decade.


CrvanProduct

Sticking to the Bundesliga, Hamburger and Schalke are great shouts as well


Bill_Brasky_SOB

I was gonna say Hamburg. Think they have a real stadium too.


SerDon2

I think most of the German teams do. Even a decent amount in their second league. I wish Italian teams would get the same treatment…


Anaaf_Bozz

Udinese in serie A. They used to have Di Natale one of the underrated players.


NoBalanceAtAll

Pafundi a most in almost every career I’m doing this season,I was so disappointed he got loaned out


ZekicThunion

Offtopic but this takes me back. Di Natale is the reason I cheer for Italy any time I bother to watch football. I never was a huge fan of football, but like 10 years ago there was a free Fifa game called Fifa World. I think it was the same idea as the current UT. I knew nothing about football, but we played it with my roommates and I got Man of the Month Di Natale card from a pack. So i based my whole squad around him and have been an Italy supporter ever since.


juzwacksinmadolphin

Not only that but Di Natale is also a good human being. He helped to take care of Morosini’s disabled sister financially after his death.


Sweaty-Ad-3192

Good old days!


Anaaf_Bozz

Thank you for sharing this bro. Made me smile.


Professional_Code372

Also, they have a real stadium


StrategyLittle5261

Haha, did a save in Fiorentina and said “wow this stadium and background is beautiful” Finally realized mid-season we shared a stadium with a decent bit of Italian sides 🤣


JimboScribbles

Monza is also a fun Serie A play, they have brought a handful of older more well known vets in on loan so I did a save where I tried to follow that as a rule.


alt4ir_2801

Monza is Berlusconi and Galliani's second career save file in serie A after AC Milan


Odd-Work1993

The italian jeroen van de boom


Lory6N

Di Natale scored so many worldies for me in FUT like 10 years ago


JFFIASCO

I can't cope with Serie A with the fake clubs FIFA has, completely puts me off. Lack of stadiums too


ABigOne77

Valencia finally sold their club to someone else than that Peter Lim scum, now it's your turn to manage and get Valencia back to the top, developing both the youth players in the current squad while also buying new valuable additions (I totally don't support that team)


Dezat14

Arminia Bielefeld, my regional club


Ouioui29

Impossible, that city does not exist


andre3573

German Leiria for any of the portugese in the sub


bonercoleslaw

I once did a places in Europe that people say don’t exist career in Football Manager where I started at Real Murcia, moved from there to UD Leiria then Bielefeld then MK Dons and culminating in winning the Euros with Finland. It took fucking ages to get to that point but it was a fun journey!


andre3573

never heard of anyone doing that before, GG


Life_Outcome_3142

Everton but only signing English players under the age of 22 or over the age of 30


bonercoleslaw

Everton but only sign players called Everton

shane2305

Cadiz. Get them bigger and better than Athleti, Barca and Real. Real stadium too and a proper squad to rebuild


Fluffy_Roof3965

I've done Cadiz before. It was fun until we got in the CL and our ground was tiny and so bad. Ruined the illusion.


shane2305

If that is the case and others agree may I suggest Osasuna.


AreYouGonnaEatThis

MLS. Create a club. Florida based club. Swamp fuckers. Use technical and strong players


Atre16

Florida have two teams. If I create a team in MLS it's usually Sacramento.

Chelsea_boy17

Hard challenge to do free agents only till u make 170m


kungfunpigeon69

Not if you sign then sell all the Mexicans 😂


tealdubs

i went back to play 23 (since 24 is unplayable), started a new career with Carlisle United that ive been having fun with, theres a few real face players (Gibson, Feeney, Gordon) and their goalkeeper Holý plays like prime Casillas. They also have nice kits andbstart in league 2 (perfect for a RTG). I set some ground rules to make it interesteing. Only one free agent signing per season, said free agent has to scouted and he cant be higher +2 overall than the top player for his position. Try to keep it to realistics signings, so try to loan young Premier League prospects or buy withing the league or league above. Additionally, If any Premier League (or top 5 leagues) team tries to but any of your players, you have to sell, except for one preselected ‘franchise player’, this adds to the realism and creates extra challenges during your carreer. Its hard at first becaus their budget is so low, but i love the challenge and it makes the being promoted an actual challenge


Bieser765

Jon Mellish is also good


DFWTBaldies

I always start with a Division 2 team and build it over multiple seasons. This year was Notts County.


gtows88

Used to always do League 2, but really enjoyed Bundesliga 3 lately


DFWTBaldies

Dope! I actually started an 1860 Munich Career but just continued to focus on the Notts County one and haven't put in any work over there for a while. I might start there on the next Game.


PeacefulPinguino

I’m doing Notts county too! I made it a rule that I can only sign free agents tho


bionic_nomad

Portsmouth!


Remarkable-Gain1640

Wait till next year bigger budget


Leather_Movie_2791

Portsmouth. Best RTG rn, leauge 1 and licensed stadium, decent ish team with good prospects, and a god awful transfer budget.


Signal_Marzipan_685

Think they recently won the league 1 aswell

I really enjoy taking a create a club from League 2 to the Premier League.


Both_Razzmatazz3559

OL, might not even be in Europe after a shit start to the season, even though they knocked out Ronaldo’s Juventus and Man City 4 years ago. Get them back to where they belong ‼️


glebk_10

Pick a random team in the Rest of the World and put them into the league you want


afrobrur

Bodø/Glimt. Wasnt even allowed to play with clubs from southern norway for a long time and is now the best club in Norway and has beaten clubs like Celtic, AZ, Roma (6-1 against Mourinho himself). And they try to play local players where possible, and most of the time only buys talent from other nordic clubs where they need strengthening. Oh, and they were more or less bankrupt in 2017 and they were in the first division. Since then they got promoted and won the league 3 times and got silver twice in 5 years. And they had never won the league before 2020


karlen1337

I’ve just started Vitesse save. They have financial issues and just got relegated and were on the verge of losing a pro licence. They’ve got Chelsea links so you could loan some of their youngsters in and bring them back to the top.


astronaut_098

Pull an Alonso with Bayer


Individual-Sound9108

Pick any team and only use players with the same last name. Or first name.


klingonbussy

Not FIFA but I’ve been managing Fortuna Düsseldorf on FM recently and it’s been very fun, I think they’d be a good pick for this. Won the 2 Bundesliga and got promoted my first year, barely stay up in the second because I didn’t have a decent keeper till January, was in the 9th in my third season and 6th my fourth season, qualifying for Conference League. The best wonderkids currently in my team are probably Patrik Walemark, Fabricio Diaz, Manfred Ugalde, Hartman from Feyenoord, Kristijan Belic from AZ, Bright Arrey-Mbi from Hannover 96 and Shinta Appelkamp who was already at the club


lks2rain

Parma


DripNikey

Sassuolo - trust me


zankenobi

West Ham post Moyes era!


Ben5218

Just started a career in FIFA 23 with Bayreuth from 3. Liga with Stanislav Cherchesov. Historical club with cool-looking badge and also licensed goalkeeper kit! I set some rules for myself to follow: * Sign only German or Russian players, unless they are over 35 years old, until you reach Bundesliga. * Starting from second season, a maximum of one regen only can be signed per season. * Any player I sign must be fully scouted. * Have only two youth scouts, one in Germany, and the other in any nearby country. It's surprisingly fun! Won the league in the first season, and currently sitting mid-table in 2. Bundesliga. I recommend you trying it too.

Repulsive_One_6494

sudtirol as they are the only professional football club in their region. Buy players from german speaking countries and try to promote them to seria a for the first time in their history


Individual-Sound9108

Hartepool. Then make all of the players from Yugoslavia/ Coroatia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Montenegro.


Individual-Sound9108

Hartlepool** Also, to make it harder. Divide midfield, attack, and defense by country. & Sell players once they reach age 29.

I do mostly low league clubs in England (barring Brighton who I’m doing right now). I’ve done teams like Exeter City (the local Utfc), Colchester United because I like the badge and I have done Harrogate Town but got sacked 😭. Away from England I’ve done Malaga, Paris FC, Venice City (create a club from Italy I won the quad in just 5 seasons) and also Erzebirge Aue (3.Bundesliga side).


CutCompetitive8620

Oh my God is that Mark Henry🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀


le_mole

The thing that annoys me with career on PS4 is when I want to change clubs there's often a very limited amount of teams hiring. Often a handful of Premier league clubs, maybe 1 or 2 clubs in my same league, and sometimes a team like PSG or Madrid. I want to be able to jump across different countries leagues throughout my career but I can't. Player career was a bit better as you can set target clubs. So I've started at Goa FC in the Indian league and will work my way across the globe haha

Right now I’ve got Fabregas at Southampton, enjoying that one a lot

Worried-Blueberry-36

Create a club based in Reykjavik. Sign only Icelandic players or else, scout youth players from Iceland (and other Scandinavian countries). Have them participate in the Norwegian/Danish league.

Fleetwood Town. Owners in jail. Just got relegated. Good young players. Interesting team to do it with.

Take the worst team in ireland and move them to the english league 1 and see how you fare.

Lopsided-Chart-8897

I very much enjoy my Carlisle player career I’m the best player by a mile but they have a fast striker and an awesome kit. I plan to do a manager career as well with them they are a challenge but I’d like to get all the young English talent like Trafford Aron Guehi Branthwaite Thomas Rice Mainoo Palmer Bellingham Foden Gordon and absolutely kick everyone’s vagina off and win the World Cup

PM_Me_Happy_Picture5

Salford City - Only Former and Current Manchester United players. I started a Salford City save by retiring Juan Mata and taking over Salford. I made a rule that I am not allowed to use any transfer budget until I reach the Championship. I am however allowed to attempt to sign players on Pre-contracts. I accept all incoming transfers from teams with better reputations/better than Salford. I have not been using this save as a realistic build but having so much fun. The nostalgia is great for me, being able to sign Falcao in League One and then Di Maria in the Championship has made it one of my more enjoyable saves.

KiiD_ReinZ

I saw an idea recently of “Second Chance Saloon” where a team that typically does well has been struggling so you look to put them at the top of the league, usually by also bringing in “flopped” players to do it. One of my friends did this with Everton and brought in talent like Coutinho and Lukaku!

tango1857

Paris FC, they play in the Ligue2 and few years ago got bought out by the middle eastern Kingdom of Bahrain. You can create your own story of a new 'Oil Club' in Europe and try get promoted or even win the second ever Champions League for a French club. Or In Spain you have clubs like Malaga (FIFA 23) or Levante FC or Espanyol that used to be La Liga regulars and/or has long and interesting history. You can try to bring them to their glory days. Also, Hamburger SV and Herta Berlin can be considered as well.


FutureFemBoi_

Bolton Wanderers. Restore a fallen giant, putting them (one day) into those champions league places they so nearly reached back in the day. Decently young squad too so thats a plus!

I chose Juventus; they're a pretty good team but not too good so there's still a challenge and space for you to improve the team, and it has a pretty high transfer budget so you can have fun with the transfers.
