I am looking to start a new game and wondered which is the best team to manage based on age and depth of squad, finances, expectations, money to spend etc.

I am leaning toward Arsenal but wondered what everyone thought? Are there any other teams worth having a go with other than the big 4?

Arsenal

Have a good, young squad
Good finances
Expectations not too high
At least 25mil transfer budget

Arsenal and at the start don't be affraid to ask for more money or adjust your budget. To be honest you only need a winger and an out and out striker at the start of geme IMO. Unless like me you dont like keeping teams as they already are.

like what Fawcett said, you only really need to improve on the wing, and a striker.

Id reccommend
ST - Mauro Zarate (£2.8mil)
AM LC - Matias Fernandez (£10mil)
GK - Igor Akinfeev (£14mil after unsettling)

For the future

AMR/ST - Gabriel Torje (£750k + 10%)
ST - Bogdan Stancu (£400k)
DM - Ever Banega (£3.2mil)
GK - Dean Bouzanis (about £475k comp)
AM RL/ST - Henri Saivet (about £800k comp)
DC - Breno (£4.8mil)

These are only reccommendations, play the game your own way!

I agree get only a couple of first teamers. And with your budget aim for World Class. Then with any budget left over invest in youth. All the suggested players above ^^^^^^I totaly agree with. I would add Arfa and Preston Edwards also.

yeh def arsenal you can get a budget of 50mil plus easyily.

and like the guys say u need a winger and a striker i went for briand and menez cost me 10mil each an that left me 30mil to have fun with.

Not much fun in picking any of them.
Pick a team with a harder challenge!

i am a chelsea fan the money you get is fun

united and liverpool always bore me. and when i play with chelsea they end up nowhere near me and the only club who challenges is Arsenal

i would go for them such an amazing youth team!
