List of teams to manage that have shockingly low finances and which will give you a proper challenge in Football Manager 2021.
They say that money cannot buy you happiness and in Football Manager 2021
that can soon become apparent.
If you want a proper
Football Manager 2021 challenge, then, you might wish to take one of these utterly debt-ridden clubs and see
if you can survive whilst boxing clever. Who, then, might make a good choice
for an FM2021 player who wants to try and make their game more challenging?
Instead of giving you the money to carve a team in your image, who will force you to be smart without making the save boring?
As one of the traditional ‘other’ powers of Turkish football, Trabzonspor
has spent more than they probably should have in recent years. This leaves
the club in pretty serious debt, like most of the Turkish Super Lig. Unlike
Fenerbahce and co. though you don’t have the same kind of pull of being in
Istanbul to make players come anyway.
This will be a huge challenge; a passionate fanbase, a solid playing staff, and a team that is massively limited in terms of what it can spend.
Although their debts have come down somewhat, OM are one of the biggest
challenges in the game. They are a massively demanding team who shed players
and managers like a dog’s fur. They also have massive debt and a playing
staff that is nowhere near good enough for a club of this majesty.
Can you topple PSG whilst having access to a fraction of their mighty resources?
As the third power in Portugal, new fans to football might be forgiven for
not knowing this. After all, it has been years since SCP could seriously put
together a challenge to the top teams in Portuguese football.
If you want a top-flight team with proper expectation but no money to make
the dream work, then come to Valencia. Los Che are arguably the third
power in the Spanish game, at least the third most supported, but lack the
financial clout after years of mismanagement and bad decisions.
As a former big name in the Spanish game, Real Zaragoza have been a non-entity for over a decade. Indeed, the club has become a ‘big fish’ in the second tier, often not good enough to get promoted but still a large enough scalp for provincial sides to want to beat.
You will have little money, little opportunity, and very little patience from fans or the board. If you want a proper FM 2021 challenge, though, this is definitely going to be it.

Trabzonspor

Olympique Marseille
Can you topple PSG whilst having access to a fraction of their mighty resources?
Sporting Lisbon
With an academy that is loaded with talent but a boardroom that is desperate
for money, can you find an equilibrium and bring success to the club whilst
still watching your best talent get sold on for comparatively little
cost?
Valencia CF
You’ll have next to no time to turn things around, an unhappy playing
staff, and a team that lacks anything like the standard one would expect
of Valencia. If you want a challenge in FM 21, though, this is very much
the right one for you.
Real Zaragoza
As a former big name in the Spanish game, Real Zaragoza have been a non-entity for over a decade. Indeed, the club has become a ‘big fish’ in the second tier, often not good enough to get promoted but still a large enough scalp for provincial sides to want to beat.
