re: FIFA Thread. The 23rd is our day

Didnt realize this thread even existed. Long time FIFA player, Pro Clubs, UT and my favorite is Manager Mode. I'm not going to scroll through 40 pages to see if someone has brought this up yet but I found a way to get the most out of Manager Mode IMO.

I got the idea from Reddit and have been obsessed ever since. I put the top 20 teams in the world in the Premier League (your Bayern's, Barca's etc.) which can be done by going to Manager mode and pressing Y on Xbox. Then I put the next best group of teams in the Championship, then League 1 and 2. The ratings have changed but there is a table here to help out because it takes a fair amount of time to do.

This essentially turns the FA Cup and Capital One Cup into a Champions League like tournament but unfortunately without the massive cash reward.

I started with Ajax in League 2, because I like their kits and they are loaded with great potential players. I advanced to the Premier League in three years with relative ease but then that's where it gets fun. My first year in the BPL the board's goal was to not get relegated and I finished mid table. A few years later and a lot of good transfer moves and some of my Youth Academy players progressing nicely (sold a 21 year old RW to Man City for 95 mil) and I finally won the league.

My team in 2022 is:

--- Depay(83)---------- Milik(85)---------- Sterling(89)---

----------- Tielemans(86)------- Halilovic(87)------------

------------------------ Bazoer(83)----------------------

-- Aké(80)--- de Vrijj(88)--- Kongolo(85)---Batshuayi(84)--

----------------------- Cillessen(83)---------------------

Batshuayi is a RB from my YA that is an 84 ovr at 22!

My bench is loaded with YA guys in the mid 70's and a few 80's. I tried to make my signings early on realistic by only guys from the Netherlands or from other Eredivise teams but as I got into BPL I decided to change my policy a little. Once I sold that YA player for 95 mil, I replaced him with Sterling.

I use the Champion's League, now that I'm qualified, as a chance to play my young players since all the other teams in it are shite. I played Chievo Verona in the final last year and won 15 mil for it haha.

Sorry for the massive amount of text but I have had a few to drink and get wordy when I do. Hopefully someone finds this interesting enough to try out sometime.

TL:DR
made a super league like this and it's loads of fun.
