    what team are you using and why?

    I normally take a team from league 2 and work on getting them up the the premier league or take a small obscure team from Holland or something and work them into powerhouses. I just can't get over the epl's different stadium options, so now I'm using crystal palace instead, but feel like im cheating myself almost.

    Manchester City.

    Started about Fifa 10 i believe. I've never been a big soccer fan until around that year. I have a ton of friends who always played Fifa so i got the game to play with them.

    At the time, I picked Man City because they had the most money. Now i did not use that money to buy the best players, i used it to buy some people I've heard of, as like i said, I wasn't a big soccer fan so I wanted at least some players I've heard of.

    Throughout the years starting with 10 and using City I just got used to the players from my season and Now i tend to watch them when they are on TV here.

    I usually start my first season every year with City.

      Chelsea, because Drogba is back. I had been using Galatasaray for the past few years.

        Yeah I'm the same. I usually take Nottingham Forest and get them into the prem and go from there ... but the epl this year looks too good to refuse.

        might go with Burnley straight into the prem. Their ground 'Turf Moor' hasta be the best sounding ground in the world. lol

          Chelsea because they have been my favorite team for 6+ years and I started liking them since they were the first professional football team I ever saw on TV.

            Settled on Liverpool as my first main MM team.

            I like their youth + they still need to develop some guys and arent a massive powerhouse with 83+s all over the pitch.

            Going to try and see how many trophies I can win in three years with them, then Ill probably move on to another team outside the Prem (looking at Italy).

            Other than that I also plan on trying Swansea out, as well as taking a chance at promoting a side like Nottingham Forest

              I started out with Hull City, Iv always had a little crush on Hull they play a good style of football. The reason i'm using them is because they signed a bunch of quality players on loan this year (Ramirez, Ben Arfa) and they are in the Euro Cup this year, so i get to play European football while trying to build a quality team. I turn the first transfer window off so i can keep the start of the season realistic to how it is in real life, and i will be looking to get some help when the january transfer window comes around. Feels like its going to be a top class career mode with them, but i will be heading back to London to start a career mode with my blues at some point.

                Chelsea for sure. Hard not to pick a premier league team with all the new improvements that focus on the EPL.

                Hopefully next year they will improve the MLS teams and stadiums.

                I used to work my way up from a low level squad but now I want to be a wealthy dynasty.

                  I support Leeds but I'll probably be a premier league team this year with all the improvements to that.

                  I've narrowed it down to Hull, Leicester, Everton, Man Utd or Palace.

                    First career is always Liverpool, and with the Premier League love in the game this year its a no brainer.

                    Next game I may look mid to low table. Swansea or Southampton for their players and style appeals.

                      Here's what I did: I chose Man U, removed all players from the team and created a team of scrubs all rated 50-60. So my goal is to STAY in the EPL, rather than work my way up to that level. And I get to enjoy all those stadiums.

                        yep liverpool for me. they are my team, first move is to bench gerrard and use him as a super sub.

                        then I'll run a villa one along side it. I love the villa unis and benteke is one of my favorites

                          I've actually jumped right into a Tournament Mode and playing as all 20 Premier League Clubs in order to play every single game of the league season.

                            Sounds like a fun idea.

                              Always start with a Real Madrid career as I'm a Madridista...

                              Win a 1 or 2 seasons of everything and then start over with a bottom division team in the UK to play my way into the BPL.

                              Last year I picked QPR in the championship to speed up the process and somehow got fired after earning promotion and finishing 3 spots safe from relegation. It was actually fun to be fired like that.


                              This year with the BPL treatment I'm probably going to pick Liecester City or Burnley and start right away in the prem. that is after I've made my undecima trophy presentation with Los Vikingos.
