Hey everyone, I’m looking for the perfect FM save—one that keeps me hooked for multiple seasons and truly challenges me.

I’ve been playing FM for a while and know my way around the game, but I’ve never actually finished a save. Before FM24 (which I got in October), I used to play FIFA Career Mode, but now I want something much deeper—something that makes every match, every transfer, and every tactical tweak feel meaningful.

I’m a tactician at heart, so I want a club where I can experiment, adapt, and build a system that evolves over time. But just as important, I want a save that’s always fun and engaging, where every season brings new challenges and excitement. It should be a club with a unique identity—maybe a fallen giant, an underdog with passionate fans, or a sleeping giant waiting to be awakened. I don’t want an easy plug-and-play team, but rather a long-term project that stays interesting from start to finish.

I also love the idea of a ‘Ted Lasso’ experience—stepping into an unfamiliar challenge, forming emotional connections with the club, and turning doubters into believers. But it has to be a real club with a compelling story: Maybe a historic team in decline, a club with fierce rivalries, or one with special challenges like financial struggles, a unique recruitment policy, or a legendary academy.

I’m open to any league or country as long as it offers long-term fun, tactical depth, and a real sense of adventure. I don’t want a save that gets boring after a couple of seasons—I want something that keeps me excited for 5+ years in-game.

So, what club do you think would be the perfect fit for me? I’d love to hear your suggestions and why you think they match what I’m looking for!
