Does anyone know what the lowest ranked playable team in the game is at the offset? I want to do another journey man game like last year, but start as low as I can go.

In terms league pyramid or just overall good/baddness?

[Benji]

Either would work. I just want to force myself to learn more of the mechanics.

Maybe it’s because I’m still not totally sure on the transfer systems or it’s because 99% of the time I’m playing as a lower level team, but if a great bid comes in for one of my guys, I tend to take the money and figure out a replacement after the fact. In fact I think I barely stayed in the black one year because of a transfer or two.

Indonesia or Singapore I would guess.

Excellent. I'm travelling across Asia!

There's also the world megapack that adds almost every country if you want more choice in terms of Africa especially.

God damn, I started a game last night and it went so badly I'm contemplating retiring from FM forever

[MDK]

Not gone well in Indonesia? 

[Benji]

Not even that good, not gone well in Wales

Welsh league is horrible which is why I left after one season. Only positive was I took Llandudno to a cup final which I won and got into the Europa League 1st qualifier only to get my ass handed to me

I need to get back into FM. I had started a game with Coventry and things were going well and then there was an update which completely killed my tactic off, teams morale went to bits and I was on an 8 game winless run so fell from 1st to 4th and miles behind the team in top...So consequently had a cob on with the game. 

[OctoberRaven]

Are there any mods for '18 that make lower tier leagues playable?

I'd love to guide Weston FC (Maybe rebranding them to be the third generation Ft Lauderdale Strikers, unrealistic as that may be...) to ML-

Wait, US doesn't have promotion/relegation.... FUCK.

Still, are there?

I haven't looked, but there might be something in the megapack: https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm18-leagues-megapack-by-claassen.html

Time to find out if FMScout counts the USL PDL as USL! Thanks

[OctoberRaven]

So found a mod that turns the US leagues into a proper tiered system, and playing as Miami FC (not to be confused with the Miami Beckhams).

First friendly vs the Rowdies. FLORIDA GODDAMN DERBY (okay so it's the Miami/Tampa version but still).

Starts with an own goal, continues with an utter rout. 3-1 Miami, and making a mental note to try to poach former Striker Darnell King. But not former Striker Walter Restrepo cause he's rubbish.

[MDK]

Where is the cheapest place to buy this?

[MDK]

In your own time, lads. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Ya butt

From a shop.
