Default Overachieving Teams

In my case it is Derby, they have finished 2nd in the premiership the past 3 seasons. There strikers are Dave Nugent and Leroy Lita.

Any other overachieving teams?

Funnily enough Derby are the overachievers in my FM08 game, and I'm only in season 2, although in my game there strikers are Rade Prica and Omar Bravo.

The underperformers are Newcastle and Liverpool both loitering around the relegation zone.

Reading are overachieving in mine,a champions league side.

Liverppol are the main underachievers, but thats always the case.

Still no surprise relegations though.

They're always fine on my game - in fact they've been my EPL bogey team since fm06

But tbf, they are underachieving in the Premier League irl too. And considering the hype, expectation, transfer funds, wages and players they are probably second only to Newcastle for league underachievement. (Although Newcastle did have a couple of promising league campaigns in the 90s).

Yeah but when we say they are underachieving in our games, we mean they are fighting relegation or maybe few places above relegation. So nothing like IRL

Derby was an overachiever in one of my FM07 games. Finished top four for two seasons consecutive. I had a transfer budget of about $500million, so I bought a player from them for about half that for fun, just to give them a monetary boost to keep them competitive and in the top of the league.

The next season they dropped back to mid-table and then FM08 came out.

In my current game, Spurs has dropped a league, but once the patch comes out, I am starting fresh.

It's early days yet but in my current game Liverpool have opened a gap at the top while Derby are in the relegation zone.

However, 3 of the bottom 5 (or 4 of the bottom 7) in this game were recently contenders for the 4th place in the real league.
