    Re: what team are you using and why?

    Even though I am still playing on last gen, I will probably play with a bunch of different teams. In the past I have always played as the top teams in the game. Like in 14 I played as Bayern Munich, and Chelsea. But this year I think I might give Swansea City a try. This is because I want to try and compete to make it to the Champions Cup instead of being there every season. Also where the teams I play with have a bigger budget I want to try using a smaller budget team for a change. I also may use Chelsea at some point because the one I did on 14 I started after I updated the squads with new transfers, and players returning from loans. And I feel that Chelsea was a force to be reckoned with this year.

      Re: what team are you using and why?

      Starting with my usual Spurs dynasty and forming them into a 3-5-2. I usually get rid of everyone over a certain age, 25-27 depending on my mood, and start building with youth. I was surprised last night when I was offered 35,000,000 EUR for Lloris after the 12-14 mil in FIFA 14

        Usually I'm playing as Forest in all modes, but with the increased focus on the EPL this year I may play a tournament season as Leicester or Swansea -- nice looking stadiums, solid EPL sides that are not too overpowered.

          Ipswich Town FC from the FL Championship. I chose them every year because they're the club that got me rooted into football. Also, trying to take a mid-table Championship level team to the Premiere League is surprisingly tough...especially when I use the strict money rules.

            Been doing the same thing for years...take a low rung team and work up to dominating the Premiership and Euro.

            This year and last I've been using Notts County...because of the 3 jerseys (H/A/Retro) more than anything else. I moved them into slightly better digs for a home stadium but its still Meadow Lane.

            These first two years getting up to the Premiership is always fun...lol...until you face the top teams in the various cup runs then its...oh yeah, these guys are kinda cruddy even with my additions. That first year in the Premiership in this '15 release I think will also be a little bit of a reality check time too. What I mean is that I'm still stomping lesser teams but equal teams are not patsies anymore so far.

              So lets say i take leeds to the epl after 1 season...what am i missing out on exactly now thats the epl is fully featured in game?

              Is it only that i have to use ivy lane instead of tbeir own stadium? I would still have the epl presentation right?

                yeah and their chants might not be a thorough as it would be for a team that is currently in the BPL.

                the other option would be to take a team like Burnley and switch them back into a lower division so you can have the full treatment on the team and then still get back to the BPL.

                      For me it'll be Sunderland of the BPL. My fav team is ManU, but I like taking a lesser team. Really started to like Sunderland as they made their little run last year to avoid relegation. Big fan of Wickham, so nice to build with his early career.

                        Sounds like what I did with last years game. Although I ended up selling Adebayor for about 14 mil and straight up swapped Soldado for a 21 year old from Barca that had a lot more speed.

                          Being born and raised in Nottingham, it makes me smile when I read things like this! Good luck in your games guys

                          My family are split down the middle but I usually play with Forest as a manager and the Pies as a player!

                            Use Eastpoint Arena if it's in. It's almost a perfect recreation of Elland Road.

                            Only thing is that it has two large stands instead of one but it look fantastic in gameplay. It's almost like Elland Road is licensed to be honest

                              Portland Timbers although I mostly play online head to head.

                              If I do manager mode this year I will either take St. Pauli or maybe put the Timbers (along with the other two Cascadia teams) in League Two.

                                I used to play with Milan, then RM, now Liverpool. Ever since Rodgers has taken the reigns, there is something about him and pool that I like. The stadium and atmosphere with the KOP is great and now with the BPL having a full license and all 20 stadiums its hard not to go that direction. Thinking even doing a second/third with RM and possibly Swansea/everton/tottenham.
