Austria seems to have everything I want. Low number of games, smaller group, higher prestige, large number of non-EU at 7. Seems like that’s what I want to do!
However, do I?
Or do I want a real challenge and go for Slovakia or something.
Let’s commit to Austria for a moment and consider potential teams.
I want a newly promoted team.
I load up Austria and take a looksee
Uh oh, here its 10 teams and they play 36 times!
I load up some other nations in FM18 to see what sells me
Hungary? 12 teams, 33 games, 5 non EU
Slovakia – 12 teams, 32 games (they split like Romania into halves at the halfway point and then just play that half for relegation or for Euro play), 5 non-EU
Serbia – 16 teams,30 games, no more than 4 foreign player. Yuck
Croatia – 10 teams, 8 non eu, 36 games
Slovenia – 10 teams, 36 games, 3 non eu
Bulgaria – 14 teams, 26 games, 5 non eu – Bulgaria?
Poland – 16 teams, 30 games, 2 non eu starting 11,
Belarus – I’ll skip it given the current political stuff happening there
How about we try Bulgaria? Just 26 games, a bigger league at 14,
Actually looks like Bulgaria has the same divide into two after 26 games. Identical to Romania so it’s really 36 games.
You know what?
Screw it!
I;m doing Slovakia which I was leaning towards as I did the Czech Republic already – Im familiar with the divide at the halfway point into two parts in my Sepsi run.
