As I promised last week I am putting up a poll and asking you to decide my future team in FM 2011. Football Manager 2011 will be released exactly one month from now, on November 5th, so you’ll have plenty of time to vote until then. The poll is located in the right sidebar, I bet you have already noticed it. Now let me explain the options:
1. The weakest team in England
Like I did when I picked Dorchester, I’ll be looking for the poorest club in Conference North or South, the team predicted to finish last in that division.
2. The weakest team in Italy
It’s about the same thing as with the English club, I’ll be taking over the weakest club in the lowest Italian league and trying to take it to glory.
3. The weakest team in Scotland
This one was suggested by our friend Kevin and I liked the challenge: ending the supremacy of Celtic and Rangers in Scotland. I’d be taking over the weakest team in the lowest playable Scottish league and build them up to upset the two giants.
4. Arsenal
I thought about this option when I ended the Notts County career, now I’m offering it again because many of you thought it was interesting. It’s fairly simple: I’ll replace Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager and try to succeed with only under 25 year old players in the squad and with a transfer policy that would allow me to sign only players under 21 years of age. All the players that are over 25 years of age in the initial squad will be sold immediately and replaced with youngsters.
5. Universitatea Craiova
Last but not least, my beloved Craiova, my favorite Romanian club. Their last title was won in 1991, the last time they challenged for the title was in 1995. Since then there was only pain and misery, including a shameful relegation. The challenge would be to win the domestic title but also the UEFA Champions League and that could really test the new «dynamic league reputation» in Football Manager 2011.
These are the five options that I thought about but your suggestions are always welcome and I’d be happy to include other interesting options in the poll. I’m looking forward to seeing your votes and I’d like to thank you in advance for that ;)
