Having currently invested all my FM21 time into my Wrexham save and seemingly hit a standpoint, whereby I've lost the interest to load the game. I've therefore decided to revamp with a new story, and we're heading to Portugal!
I'm going to be sticking with the theme of only signing Portuguese players as I have really enjoyed the added challenge that it creates, only this time Portugal have a much greater wealth of talent.
This will be the first time I've started a save outside of England for quite a long time so looking forward to the change.
The team I have decided to go with is Nacional Madeira!
I decided to choose Madeira, partly as I like the idea of managing a side situated on a small island, but also because it's where Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo grew up.
They do also have really impressive facilities for and hopefully the foundation to discover the next Ronaldo
This is probably the first time I've managed in Portugal but is interesting to see a theme of club cultures all leaning towards signing Brazilian player, not Portuguese (something the board aren't going to appreciate me for!)
It's not the strongest of squads, which is to be expected considering this side was promoted last season.
Currently we only have 9 Portuguese players (Only 3 of which would be in our starting XI on paper) in the first team squad and nobody of any real talent.
The best player we have is, João Camacho. He still isn't anything special but is an academy graduate from Madeira and will hopefully be a useful asset for us out on the wing this season and probably the player to build the squad around.
It's going to be a tough season and will really just be about avoiding a relegation battle this season as we look to overhaul the squad
