On FM 2015 I find many people post about Winning all the trophies with all the top sides with best budgets available. I find this boring and easily achievable for most managers.
This Thread is for us to Share how we turned our lower rep team into a Top team challenging for he UEFA places.
I have started a save with Brighton. In my 1st season I won the championship and to be honest I had a very small squad and very old. Free Signing - El Hadj Diouf was my best player! I was not ready for the Premier League at all.
In the 2nd Season I made many good free signings and I was just above the relegation zone coming into January. I couldn't believe it..... My Chairman gave me 10m to spend to keep us up! I signed Victor Ibarbo for 6m and Nick Powell for 675k who was currently on loan with me. I went on to Finish 9th with Victor scoring 17!! he was a Beast.
Again with a very small squad I made some very good free signings. Timo Horn (GK), Rafinha (CM), Vagner Love (ST) and a few more. Just before the start of the season Monaco came in for Ibarbo. I was gutted.... he wanted to leave. I managed to get 25m!!! for him. So i signed Jordan Rhodes for 8m to replace him as Poacher. and spent the rest of the money on Ricardo Kishna and Viktor Fischer from Ajax.
I went on to have another Fantastic season. Rhodes scored 22 in the League and we finished 6th!! Only losing 8 games. Chelsea and Man City came in for Rafinha and now he wanted to leave. I have accepted Chelsea's 30m bid. Not bad profit considering he came on a free.
Now onto my 4th Season with the Albion!!
