An Introduction to my Idea
I haven't been able to get into any game on FM for the past month or so, and don't look to be doing so anytime soon.
My idea is that each season, I will pick a team (preferably a team in the top divisions) and do a detailed analysis of that team throughout the season.
For example, if I were to pick Manchester United in the first season, I would analyse their season, game-by-game, along with any events of interest and post them on this thread. The next season, I wouldn't choose United again (although I may return to them long after) and I'd move on to another team, probably in another league, say to the Bundesliga this time.
Just to make it clear, this is not a manager story by any means, I'd just like to create a thread where I can post a seasonal analysis of football clubs around the world.
I intend to start in the Premiership and have shortlisted five teams for the first season :-
1. Manchester City View attachment 522864
Former Malaga and Real Madrid man Manuel Pellegrini will look towards his new recruits Jesus Navas and Alvaro Negredo, along with the power in midfield, in order to steal the title from United and progress in the Champions League.
2. Tottenham Hotspur View attachment 522858
After selling Gareth Bale and spending over 100 million on new recruits, it will be interesting to see if they can mount a serious challenge under Tim Sherwood (I'm using the winter update)
3. Liverpool View attachment 409706
In real life, Brendan Rodgers has got them playing some great offensive football (as a United fan, I hate to admit it) but will their lack of an organised defence hurt them in-game, especially after no signings in January?
4. Southampton View attachment 522867
Mauricio Pochettino and ex-chairman Nicola Cortese have received praise for the recent influx of English youngsters in the first team. Will this help the Saints in pushing for the European places?
5. Fulham View attachment 409705
3 managers in one season is not a healthy sign for any club, let alone one destined for relegation. Will Fulham be able to pull it together and stay up under new manager Magath, after acquiring the services of Holtby and Mitroglou?
I plan to start this on Tuesday and will leave a poll for others to vote on. You can also suggest other teams, although I'd prefer them to be in the top division.
Leave your comments and suggestions below.
