What Lower League team are you starting your career at?

The away kit is black, with with the three stripes on the shirt.
The third kit is all white with green socks.
Amadora is one of Lisbon's suburb, and its a very, very tough neighbourhood.
HUGE crime rate, but also very good sporting facilities. Estrela has two Olympic size swimming pools and a gym.
And I cant stress this enough, an ugly stadium.
And it isn't covered, surrounded by huge apartment buildings, you can actually see the game from your house... maybe that's why they are going in to solvency :)

I tried to edit their away kits to black, but the editor is too limited, I can't use Red green and white, with black kit. So I'm going to stick to Green kit with red and white stripe.

and in my save they restructured their debt (about 5 million in debt), but on some other test saves I've done with them, they go into solvency.

I hope one day I'll be able to get them a new stadium that isn't right beside their industrial park!
 
Dover in the blue square premier south and i have just won the league :)
 
Blyth Spartans :) Just about 1st place after 20 games. Too close to call at the top though, so promotion not guaranteed unfortunately!

for me personally:
I dont think there is much to be done other than getting stuck in playing games...i dont worry for coaching untill i can afford some decent coaches...which wont be for many seasons lol
I normally let them play 5/6 friendly's at 442 or 4141 where i begin tweaking tactics based on the best attributes of the players at my disposal...of course a few free transfers of players baught to my attention but only a few...dont want more than 25 man squad anyway.
And i normally begin to replace part time contracts with full time contracts to around half/threequarters of the team...the worst players missing out.
I like to watch my games in full for maybe 80% of the time working on my tactics and looking for idea's/noticing patterns in ME/and watching for effective players who dont have the highest attributes in their main but still do well.
In summary i spose for me the first season as a LLM is all about playing that first season and refining tactics by rote.
Worry about the other stuff later if u dont get the boot :)
 
Aldershot Town for me. Never been them before, some decent players.
 
i found cheltenham from fm10. REALLY liked the style of the team, doesn't need TOO much doing to the team so going to start with them i think
 
Cambridge United. So far Played 3: Won 2: Lost 1. Best signing - Chris James. New Zealand International.
 
Portsmouth. No Money, Nothing for wages, Under a transfer embargo. Every player has very low morale.
Thats a real challenge.
 
Not had FM for years. Used to play it all the time when it was Premier Manager (back in the 90's) but I've decided to try again.
I'm going to start of with Southport seing as I live here. Team is poor, recently promoted to BSN and predicted to finish 20th!
Need to get some serious players in on free transfers. Facilities and ground are shocking. Hopefully I can get all new players on FT contracts and avoid relegation.
Any advice for a relative newbie??? The game has changed SO much since the old days!
 
Spam trialist and sign the ones you like. That is about it :p

Finally go around to starting my RW Essen game today (grr Uni :mad:). They are in the 5th tier of German football (I am using my German DB ;)), relegated last year due to not complying with financial regulations. They are predicted to come 1st - but still I let go about 20 players and have to bring in a bunch of frees and loans to get the squad strong enough to easily win promotion this year and to built the foundations to stay up next year.

As I've mentioned before, I moved Estrela Amadora up a division to be playable in game in Portugal (financial problems as well) and all my players are youth regens! Is that what you had to deal with at RW Essen?

I've signed soooo many loan players, and signed a couple full time contract players. One of which is an actually very very solid striker (my team reputation probably helped in signing him). Unfortunately the 3 players I signed nearly doubled my wage budget XD (30k per person) Oh well, winning the league and being promoted to Liga Orangina will fix any qualms the board has with me.
 
Margate!!! (with my manager reputation as sunday league footballer)

Downloaded lower leagues, will probobly be two/three seasons before i get into the blue square south league but i find it completely pointless being in the higher leagues due to lack of challenge

No I did not have many regen players, they were all real. Just **** ;)
They must of had to sell all there better players because I don't remember many of them from last year. But I did the opposite to you. I moved Essen down a division, because that is what happened to them in real life. All the other teams are in the correct divisions too.

I have started off my career at North Greenford in English Southern League Division Central. Not a bad start in pre-season for a team I know absolutely know absolutely nothing about - 3 draws and 3 wins. However, crashed back down to earth after an absolute gubbing from Biggleswade Town. Poor passing, dribbling, technique, discipline, flair. I have a mammoth task. But thats exactly what I was after from the game. Let the fun begin :)
