7 teams you HAVE to manage in Football Manager 2024

St Etienne is my go-to for FM.

Can’t wait for my permanent Galway United save. This year mine broke the day I played PSG in the final game of group stage which would have sent me to the knockouts. Game wouldn’t sim past that date and now all my save files are gone

malaga one is the one for me

Malaga scored their goal in Dortmund from offside too. So it’s just karma)

Union Berlin's squad is actually really good. I got them to stay in the UCL with little to no transfers. Tom you're just blinded by the old FMs where players just cease to exist after 32 years old. Christopher Trimmel didn't lose his pace or stamina in my save til he retired at 38. He was playing the full 90 minutes whenever he was needed to

Brigton

Lincoln. Hire Tom.

Might take on Saint Etienne, as I tend to steal Green from them lol. I'm having a harder challenge than a Man U window. I'm trying to finish a game without at least 3 injuries

Santos FC from Brazil!

Do a PSMS Medan In indonesia League career

Sheffield Wednesday for me! massive club, chairman is a idiot, will have no money to spend, worse start in championship history…. Dreams rebuild

I can add
Ajax
Lyon
Girona(City Group)
Troyes(City Group)

As a challenge, you can take City Group teams till you manage Manchester City

Ajax and Lyon are the lowest in their league so you can rise them back to the top again

Hà Nội Fc I know someone who plays for them

Urawa Reds from Japan.
The 3rd time AFC Champions League winner and current champions but they didn't won a domestic league title since 2006

Mr beast of the fm

Really happy to see you adding Saint-Etienne to your list! :)

Scunthorpe might be the 1 for me. Another good challenge would be getting Falkirk back to the top flight

Ton love your vids you should do a Almeria rebuild they are currently bottom of la liga without a win

Absolutely love seeing Galatasaray on this list. I really think it’s gonna be fun managing them this year.

Where Heidenheim

First time I've ever seen my home town in a video even though it was just the northolme

Another one is Oldham, 2nd season now in the national league, former Premier League club, spent most of their history in the 2nd & 3rd division. League cup finalists in 1990, multiple times in the FA Cup semi finals. Since then no promotions from any division since 1990/91. Last season was also the first time they’ve finished in the top half of any division since the 2008/09 season too. Poor owners nearly sent the club out of existence in recent years which resulted in poor results on the pitch sending them down from league 1 to the national league. Local business man Frank Rothwell and supporter of the club bought the club last summer. A couple of good signings were made in the summer too, James Norwood from Barnsley and few other players from league clubs too. So good solid squad to work with in the first season to be challenge for the title with the likes of Chesterfield. Eventually take them back to the premier league.

Also to note they average around 6500-8000 attendance wise which is brilliant at that level and especially with City & United basically on their doorstep too.

one idea i have is to manage Dukla Prague it is a Czech team currently playing in the second division they have a huge history as a army team they used to be

Me able to see and know what logo from the start:

Thanks, I'm off.

of course LINCOLN XD

My challenge save I'm planning on doing this year, is to choose 3 random nationalities every season that a player must have as a partial nationality to sign them... trying this at Athletico Madrid in the beta, and had Italy, Guyana, and Vanuatu. This second season I randomed out Ukraine, burundi, and Cambodia... love the challenge of seeing a wonderkid that I can never sign, just because he's not from the nation I drew, and likewise, finding people I've never heard of before, that are actually good I.E Nestory Irankunda, who has burundi as a second nationality, but looks like a future star in real life

Fuck Scunthorpe Chester FC is the save for me

Hi Tom I'm a reading FC fan and I'm not sure if your aware of the clubs situation at the moment but basically we are on the verge of going into administration 😢

I was wondering if you could do a video of the club because a club of Rfc size would be a shame to go in to administration

I would help as much as possible like links to FB) sell before dia) setup by the fans

I will try to continue my save with Eastbourne Borough and get them to the PL (currently League 2). To be honest Union Berlin look like an interesting challenge to take.

I only do saves where I start unemployed (it's so much easier than choosing a club... just make your qualifications the level of club you want to start at and apply everywhere) and I can guarantee that Union Berlin even 5 years into the game is a WILD ride.

As soon as the Megapack comes out, a season in Moroccan Botola would be nice

Soon as I saw Scunthorpe in danger of relegation last year, and read up on their owner situation, i knew they were the club for me in FM24

I'm currently managing Chelmsford in Vanarama South. Pushing for a playoff spot. Good times!

What about Grimsby Town? 🤔

Former Championship side, a bit of a staple from the very early 90's to very early 00's.

Adam Richman (Man vs Food) is one of the shareholders.

Their stadium isn't even in their own town/Grimsby so they technically play all of their home games "away".

And last but not least, I know you have a personal soft-spot for them 😂

As a Charlton fan I couldn't possibly do a save with Lincoln 🙂 Malaga is a great shout, i'd also recommend Deportivo La Coruna, a once established Champions League club, currently sitting in mid table of the third tier of Spanish Football...

Malaga isn't owned by Al-thani anymore, he was kicked out by court. Att: a Malaga supporter

I have a Scunthorpe save rn and it’s so fun

Starting with malaga now gunna be hard with no transfer budget like

🤩really happy to see hanoi fc

Ha - I just started my Malaga save today.

I decided to rebuild RW Essen, once a huge club in Germany and for anyone who has watched Miracle of Bern, a lot of the players in the squad came from them, so it seemed a good choice.

Currently in season 7, got to the quarter finals of the Conference League last season and currently top of the Bundesliga (only 5 games in though). I have just signed Moukoko, but I’m quite disappointed by his development, as he’s barely developed over those 6-7 seasons!

Hanoi were created in the year I was born

Everyone says Union Berlin. WHY??? SHIT club

i am thinking the turkey challenge

Bro why did you do galatasary but not do Bursaspor? One of the two teams outside of Istanbul to win the super lig and are in 3rd div in turkey due to financial struggles in recent years. Much better challenge than gala.

Galatasaray is good but Fenerbahçe would be better because they can’t be champions for 10 years they are always second or sth. So you can try make them champs and bring a european trophy to them

Im about to start a save with Bury F.C. in T9 in english football using only their youth subjects.
Their facilities are amazing so hope I produce some solid talent.
Going to be a long save

cum

Of course St Etienne has a player named Etienne Green.
