More for FM17, I'm looking to manage a team outside of England, I always manage Man Utd (supporter) or a lower league team and bring them up. I really like to develop youth and play attacking football.

Criteria:
European competition with at least 1 Champions League spot.
Strong Youth setup/development.

Any club or competition suggestions and why?

Anyone can recommend some good Football League One or Two team to start with. But using latest updates that are with relegation and promotions.
Would like to have some promising talent and youth set up.
Maybe Wimbeldon?

AFC Wimbeldon is a big challenge, I'm slowly doing a save with them. They have virtually a zero budget for a few years. I'd look at a Sheffield team or Portsmouth.
 
You should try managing in Scotland? Maybe restoring Aberdeen or Dundee Utd to their former European glory.

The best youth setups right off the bat are Ajax, Porto, and SLB.

so what should i do guys?My next club will be my last on fm16 so if none of the current options should i start a new save and whom?
 
Try a team from the conference league in England. If you like a challenge this is really challenging.
 
Hey guys, I can't decide which team to pick between Southampton, Schalke or Bayer Leverkusen?:S:S:S

My pref is to manage in Prem so Southampton. If you are sick of prem I prefer Schalke over Leverkusen

As a Southampton fan, I'd say go for the Saints and look out for Callum Slattery in the U18s squad - he's a roaming playmaker labelled the next Glenn Hoddle. Have Steven Davies tutor him. At Leverkusen, the right winger Julian Brandt is an excellent prospect. Schalke have Kevin-Prince Boateng who is a goal scoring machine in the Shadow Striker role for a couple of seasons until age restricts him.

Kevin prince-boateng isnt at schalke on 16.3 patch but sane,meyer,geis and goretzka are great prospects.I have a schalke save currently in 2nd season,bayern were monstrous under pep in 1st season

Definitely the easiest challenge if i took it.may join them and stay for 3 years and win as much as i can whilst sticking to my principles of favouring youth players,especially homegrown
 
Not exactly the place for this but recently got FM16 and have been messing around with a few teams West brom (twice) bournemouth, United, Arsenal and Chelsea. Most recently I started my 2nd West Brom save and though Im somewhat enjoying it I peaked at the tables from around Europe and some of the teams and Leverkusen are really tempting me. Is it a fun team to play as? Brendt is one of my favorite players and their team all round looks pretty solid. Im more of a DOF though. I don't find the actual playing of games to be half as entertaining as building the team

in my opinion leverkusen would be a great choice,plenty of good youngsters and some experience in there too.Im loving my schalke save and the bundesliga is definitely very competitive.Bayern very strong in first season but it is possible to dethrone them

Ive started and am really enjoying it. Lost some big names but replacing them was easier than expected replaced Lars Bender (£25m to Barca) with Sven Bender (£3.5m from Dortmund) seems like a good league for getting nice deals. Definitely different from prem. Schalke in the relegation zone in February. Recommend any signings from them. Have my eyes on Meyer, Goreztka, Sane and Geis.
 
I've played with Schalke for couple seasons. I couldn't get best from Meyer but Goretzka and Sane were the beasts.

I signed Goretzka for my Dortmund team about 4 seasons in he was a beast for me shame he only had a release clause of like 29 million...had no choice but to sell him after his 1st season with me.:'(

Ive been using meyer as a MC(support) and hes been excellent although johannes geis is my first choice,goretzka was injured early in season 1 and still hasnt forced his way back in.Neustadter proved vital for me as DM although he moaned about moving to a bigger club so i signed stefan reinartz for 8m in january window.And yes leroy sane is a beast as was dennis aogo and junior caicara although we all know fullbacks are overpowered this year.
 
sven bender is a very astute signing,i tried to get him as he was transfer listed but due to the dortmund-schalke rivalry he wouldnt negotiate.Meyer,goretzka,geis and sane are great but you will have no chance of signing sane.he asked to leave and the only way i could convince him to stay was if i won the league in first season,which thankfully i did.Be prepared to pay mega bucks for those schalke starlets though.
