This is my philosophy for years as well. I rarely pick teams as ManUtd. In the current versions of FM I mostly play HSV, because of the history and the great potential this club has, and most importantly great core of young players - De Jong, Kompany, van der Vaart and so on. I lasted longest with Benfica on FM 2005 till year 2025 bwaaaaa... It was fantastic to see my club legends players I transformed into top players to retire at my club and also getting a staff role sometimes.
I have to agree with Fedorico, FM 2008 is the most addictive FM till now, you just need to set yourself some goals to keep you busy for a while. |
