I'd go for Southampton because their FM16 starting squad is probably stronger than the FM17 version will be, so this might be the last chance to quickly succeed with them for a while - and I say that as a Saints fan. The U18 midfielder Callum Slattery is a gem of a player, dubbed "The Next Glenn Hoddle" in-game. Have him tutored by Steven Davis and have central defender Jason McCarthy tutored by Jose Fonte. I gave Slattery his debut as a 16 year-old in my save, then I took him on loan at Sheffield Wednesday and again at Everton in the Championship where he was brilliant, if a bit injury prone. He later moved to Chelsea and then Manchester United.

Success will take longer to achieve at Bournemouth because they don't have the funds. Depends how quickly you get through matches, of course, but if you're going to buy FM17 close to when it comes out then you've only two months to achieve all your footballing ambitions! I'm actually with them now, in season 2025/26, having just taken them back into the Premier League via the Championship Play-Offs. Don't know so much about West Brom.

Hello fellow FM-players!

I need some help with picking the team for my final FM-save.
The teams has to fit the following:
Top-5 league
Suits the art of counterattacking, if not then have some funds so I can buy counterattacking players
Decent < facilities

Thank you in advance

Wolverhampton is a great match I think.

Have a decent team from the beginning, and holds some nice talents. Iorfa, Hause, Niall Ennis etc.

I have won the PL in my 4th season already.

Promoted as 2nd in first season, number 5 in PL in season 2, same in season 3 and now 1st in season 4.

I always start low, like as low as possible, currently on with a LLM save and am in Englands level 10 with South Shields, just won the division so now in Northern league division 1, so my recommendation is a lower league team, any success is really worth it as there's next to no money down there.

The league you prefer : The Championship
The finances : Not Relevant
Facilities for training/youth : Fantastic facilities

Other things : Club with good chances of making into a top club on long term, hence the good Youth Facilities
