I played as TNS (total network solutions) in the welsh premier league in FM06, and not just because of their name

I had a dream strike partnership of shaun goater and don hutchinson and got on really well.
I found it really enjoyable to give management a go with just a nothing team. The league itself isn't overly difficult as there are (or were) a lot of amateur teams. But there were a number of different cups to give a go and winnin the league gets you into the prelim stages of the champions league so its a great challenge to try and get into that or the uefa cup with what would be a league 1 or league 2 club in england.
Good luck if you go for it!
