China Save

[Stepea]

thinking about starting a China save....
not sure which team i will go. prob aim for a mid table team to try and overachieve and win league within first 2 seasons and then onto Asian champions league etc..

anyone got tips on managing in the league?
recommend a team to start with, who to sign what to watch out for etc.. in terms of regulations?

Shanghai SIPG (think its Shangang in game) did a save with them, Hulk and Elkeson are beasts !! with oscar now they have a winning formula. They fit the mid table bracket (in a way) as they have never won a big trophies, infact there only trophie was the second divison in 2012.

Ok sounds interesting, and cant go wrong with having Hulk. not had experience with Elkeson but been tempted to sign him in other saves.

anyone else had any joy in China?

Well decided to go Tianjin Quanjian starting in Jan 2016 in the first division, below superleague. A new team formed in 2007 i think, only 1 national cup win of note in the trophy cabinet so far in its history, so thinking i have a clean slate to win first division and then onto the Superleague etc.. hopefully pick up a national cup competition in first 2 seasons along the way.

reason i didnt go SIPG was because they are already in the Asian Champions league. i want to crack into it on my own merit.

Star foreign players are Fabiano, Jadson & Geuvanio.

Finding it difficult to sign anyone over 17 years old including Chinese nationals due to regulations. However, i have made a solid start winning all my friendlies and my first 4 league games of the season. Using Veez Strikerless tactic and another Strikerless tactic park the bus (cant mind the tactic author but downloaded from here).

Best players so far are Geuvanio (WM-L) & Sun Ke (WM-R). fair few goals and assists from both.

if anyone else has experience in China, leave a comment with how it went for you.
