THE CHALLENGE:
SELL SELL SELL!!
SELL SELL SELL!!
[*=center]Take over a club with very good youth facilities
[*=center]Develop the next superstars
[*=center]Sell them on at big profits
I started a wee save with Zilina in Slovakia simply because they have a very good youth setup and I am a wee bit fed up with transfers on FM14.
So the idea was to only use youth team players, similar to what I do each year with Ajax only this would be much more challenging as its a lesser club in a lesser nation.
Anyway, I haven't even reached the first transfer deadline day and have had to reject several bids for some of my best players. Hence I got thinking, what if this whole career was just about never rejecting any reasonable bids for players and seeing how these players got on in bigger, better leagues - thus the challenge idea.
An example of this at work with Zilina:

Bid accepted because they were too good to refuse and players with replaced with young cheap alternatives who will eventually be sold on at profit too.

Here's a good list of teams with the best youth facilities:

So what do you reckon? A good idea for a challenge/career?
If so, shall I continue the Zilina career or start up a new one with a more familiar setup from the list above?
