What job should I take

Ok so your wondering what club you should manage well here's the complete lowdown on what to do.

Difficulty rating's
Easy: A novice could do this but if you have just had a bad game this is the one for you.
Medium: This is for someone who wants a little bit of a challenge but not wanting to go for it completely.
Hard: This is for someone who has played FM for a long time and if you are wanting a challenge which will test you to the limits.
Impossible: Someone is going to turn around and say it's not but I think only a complete mastermind (or someone with a cheat book) to complete if you can complete this you should be on TV.

The league changed its name from the 'FA Premier League' to simply the 'Premier League' on February 12, 2007.

Premiership
Easy challenge: To take Manchester Utd to win the Premier league for the second time in a row.
Medium hardness challenge: To get the following teams into Europe:
Bolton, Newcastle, Manchester City
Hard challenge: Keep Derby from being relegated. Possibly one of the hardest challenge's on FM 2008 but someone with great skill could do this.
Impossible challenge: Make Derby win the Premier league, Ok so I have called this impossible so if you can do this you are the master at FM

Championship challenges
Easy challenge: To take the following teams to promotion, Watford, Charlton, Sheffield United or West Brom. For a challenge in the middle between Easy and medium do this one:
Become champions with West Brom.
Medium challenge:
1. Survive relegation with Bristol City or S****horpe
2. Get into the play-offs with either Ipswich or Hull
Hard Challenge
Win promotion with Blackpool in one season.
Impossible challenge
Become champions with Bristol City

Extras
For the easy challenge do it without buying any new player's
For the medium challenge do it with only getting loan player's from the championship and not buying anyone from the Premier league.
For the hard challenge do it by finishing in the automatic promotion places
For the Impossible challenge just being able to do it will be hard enough I wont add any more things to that one.

Championship teams:

Barnsley
Blackpool
Bristol City
Burnley
Cardiff City
Charlton Athletic
Colchester United
Coventry City
Crystal Palace
Hull City
Ipswich Town
Leicester City
Norwich City
Plymouth Argyle
Preston North End
Queens Park Rangers
S****horpe United
Sheffield United
Sheffield Wednesday
Southampton
Stoke City
Watford
West Bromwich Albion
Wolverhampton Wanderers

La Liga

Easy Challenge: Win the league with Barcelona or Real Madrid, This challenge should be quite easy because they have very good teams after the summer transfer window to progress this challenge to a medium look at the extras at the bottom of the page.

Medium Challenge: Save the following clubs from relegation Levante or Getafe, These clubs are odds on to be relegated and in real life they aren't doing to well but with a few good deals you could save them from an obvious relegation.

Hard Challenge: Win the league with Espanyol, This club enjoys coming around mid table or sometimes in the bottom half but with some very good transfers and a experienced manager behind them they could do it.

Impossible challenge: Win the league with Getafe or Levante ok so you are going to need to be amazing manager but I believe it is impossible

Extras
For the easy challenge do it without buying any new players
For the medium challenge do it with only getting loan players from any other countries and not buying anyone from the La Liga.
For the hard challenge do it by finishing 5 points clear at the top above the second place team.
For the Impossible challenge just being able to do it will be hard enough I wont add any more things to that one.

SPL

These challenges were quite hard to think up because the SPL is so unpredictable, take Hearts for example but I managed to get some so here we go.

Easy challenge: Win the league with Celtic, this must be the easiest challenge out of all of them, this is for a complete novice player who has never played any manager games before.

Medium challenge: Finish in the top two with Hearts, Right so you have to come above Rangers or Celtic this is quite hard but with some good signings. I suggest you need to get some good goalkeeper to replace Craig Gordon who went to Sunderland.

Hard challenge: Win the league with Motherwell, I didn't know where to put this one at first I put this in impossible but changed my mind, I thought with some amazing signings and some good tactics and training this could be possible.

Impossible challenge: Win the league with Gretna, So this I doubt can be done this is only for somebody who has played for years and with lots of good knowledge of the game and the SPL and well everything.

Extras
For the easy challenge do it without buying any new players
For the medium challenge do it with only getting loan players from any other countries and not buying anyone from the SPL
For the hard challenge do it by finishing 5 points clear at the top above the second place team.
For the Impossible challenge just being able to do it will be hard enough I wont add any more things to that one.

Countries

Easy challenge: Win the World Cup with Brazil, France or Italy these should be easy enough you have lots of good players to choose from so this one is for a novice or for someone managing a club team. as you don't want to be messing around with lots of scouting.

Medium challenge: Get into the World Cup with Scotland, If they would not of had such the good form in there recent matches (I guess this will be included in 08) this would be hard but this could be quite easy, I would only try this challenge if you are only managing a country.

Hard challenge: Win the World Cup twice with England, Ok so this can be done but it will take determination to carry on with bad results for at least 8 years more than likely more than that. Have a go and you will get on the hall of fame.

Impossible challenge: Win the World Cup with Scotland within 10 years, even with their great form this is impossible but if you do it you will be a FM mastermind

I cannot really put any extras on here.

Ligue 1
So the French league now, enjoy.

Easy challenge: Win the league with Lyon easy enough like the previous easy one's mabye a little bit more difficult because of the class of the other teams.

Medium challenge: Win the French legaue cup with Le Mans and finish in the top half of Ligue 1, they were semi- finalists last year so they have the chance to win it.

Hard challenge: Win the Champions league and the Ligue 1 with Monaco, a very good team but not had the best of luck over the past few years.

Impossible challenge: Win the league with Metz, like it says on the tin impossible.

Teams in Ligue 1:
Auxerre
Bordeaux
Caen
Le Mans
Lens
Lille
Lorient
Lyon
Marseille
Metz
Monaco
Nancy
Nice
Paris Saint-Germain
Rennes
Saint-�tienne
Sochaux
Strasbourg
Toulouse
Valenciennes

Other teams that you can use for the medium challenge are bold and one's for the impossible are underlined

Extras
For the easy challenge do it without buying any new players
For the medium challenge do it with only getting loan players from any other countries and not buying anyone from the Ligue 1
For the hard challenge do it by finishing 5 points clear at the top above the second place team.
For the Impossible challenge just being able to do it will be hard enough I wont add any more things to that one.

The Irn-Bru Scottish Football League
The Irn-Bru Scottish Football League First Division Championship is the highest division of the Scottish Football League and the second highest in the Scottish football league system.

The division contains ten teams and each year the top team is promoted to the Scottish Premier League, subject to meeting the stadium criteria. The bottom club is automatically relegated and the second bottom club goes to an end of season play-off with the second, third and fourth placed clubs from Division Two.

Clyde F.C.
Dundee F.C.
Dunfermline Athletic F.C.
Greenock Morton F.C.
Hamilton Academical F.C.
Livingston F.C.
Partick Thistle F.C.
Queen of the South F.C.
Stirling Albion F.C.
St Johnstone F.C.

Easy challenge: Get promoted with the following clubs St Johnstone
Dunfermline. This challenge may be a little harder as there is some talent in the First division but someone who is quite new to the game should be able to master this one.

Medium challenge: Survive with Stirling, this one is for the ones who know a lot about the Scottish leagues being able to get a few good signings in and being able to apply the right tactics to their style of play but it can be done by someone who has been playing for a while if they focus in the places that need focussing on.

Hard challenge: Win the league with Clyde, same as before really someone who knows the league well this one will be for you.

Impossible challenge: Win the league with Stirling, now this one will be for someone with a huge know how about football in Scotland but I believe it cannot be done go on prove me wrong.

Extras
For the easy challenge do it without buying any new players
For the medium challenge do it with only getting loan players from any other countries and not buying anyone from the First division
For the hard challenge do it by finishing 5 points clear at the top above the second place team.
For the Impossible challenge just being able to do it will be hard enough I wont add any more things to that one.

League 1

Football League One (often referred to as League One for short or Coca-Cola Football League 1 for sponsorship reasons) is the second-highest division of The Football League and third-highest division overall in the English football league system. It is the most profitable and competitive third-tier football league in the world.

Football League One was introduced for the 2004-2005 season. It was previously known as the Football League Second Division.

Challenges:

Easy challenge: Win the league with Southend, after their dissapointing exit from the Championship they are in desperte need of re-entering the the league they want to be in. This should be quite an easy challenge for many but mabye a first timer may strugge with this so I would say if you are a novice go for a challenge in the offer leagues. Someone who has played can just take over and may need to sign a few players and will need the basic know of League 1

Medium challenge: Finish in the play offs with Leeds, Normally this would be an extra easy challenge but with their point deduction it makes it a little bit more difficult because it will be hard to attract new and good players. But it can be done with some ease so if you have played a little this one is for you.

Hard challenge: Win the league with Leeds, you might be thinking shouldn't this be impossible well no because Leeds do have a lot of money and good players but then of course you do have the point deduction you will need to know a lot about the English leagues for this. Good luck!

Impossible challenge: I had to think long and hard about this one because I didn't really want to do another one where I set a club that's only just got promoted to win the league, so I couldn't really do one for survivng relegation because this one is quite easy I reckon this would be a medium challenge. So I decided to combine a relegation one with coming high up in the FA Cup. I would say this is the hardest impossible challenge I have set but someone will prove me wrong I would bet on it. So the challenge should you choose to accept is to survive relegation and win the FA Cup with Port Vale or Cheltenham. So the first part would be medium but the second part, well this will be the one to see who is the best a Football Manager.

I was wondering what league to do know, I was going to do a really random one but I thought would many people actually try it and I then thought do one that someone would try. But I decided that I would now do the Welsh league because it is quite random and not known about but people might also try it so the Irish Premier League.

Teams
Armagh City.
Ballymena United.
Cliftonville Crusaders
Coleraine.
Donegal Celtic.
Dungannon Swifts.
Glenavon.
Glentoran Institute
Larne
.Limavady United.
Linfield
.Lisburn Distillery
Newry City.
Portadown.

Challenges:
Easy challenge: Win the league with Linfield, Linfield won the league last year and qualified for the Uefa Champions league qualifying stage, this is a challenge for a complete new player to the game and requires little skill.

Medium challenge: Come in the top two with Portadown, last year they finished 4th and were one place out of the Intertoto cup with some good managing and ok signings this challenge will be able to be achieved with some ease.

Hard challenge: Come in the top 3 and qualify for Europe with Larne, last year they finished 14th so this season they will need to progress a lot but it is possible with some good signings and very good managment, I would reccomend getting a good tactic in a freindly and start buying players around that tactic.

Impossible challenge: Same as before this was a hard one to choose but I came up with a very very hard one so here we go, Win the league with Glenavon, last year they only survived relegation by one place so this is well and truly impossible but go on try and prove me wrong.

Coming soon: The lower divisions in England and Scotland and the Italian leagues.

very nice but why isnt Portsmouth on there?
yo ushould replace Man City with Portsmouth as Pompey start out with no transfer money or anything and Man City go crazy buying players so it would be harder to Portsmouth then it would be for Man City

kovacevic · 02-12-2008, 11:26 AM

This thread was created in August for FM2008 Ash and it would have been more relevant for Man City as it was before they had all the money they do now. its unlikely to be changed aswell cos 1pswich doesn't post much on here.

ArmageddonAsh · 02-12-2008, 11:40 AM

that explains it then, strange that it popped up on mine saying it was a new post !?!
