The objective is to get Feyenoord back into the UEFA Champions League within your first season, and then to compete for the title by 2024 on FM22.
What is Feyenoord’s history?
Titles, though, have been very rare in modern days; only two leagues have arrived since the 1990s, though they did win a UEFA Cup in the early 2000s. However, modern history has not been kind to this most famous of clubs.
What is Feyenoord’s objectives and finances?
The objective is to get Feyenoord back into the UEFA Champions League within your first season, and then to compete for the title by 2024. It will be tough, as you need to overcome fellow powerhouses PSV and eternal rivals Ajax. You also need to worry about teams like AZ Alkmaar. With massive domestic and international support, Feyenoord is the working-class club of Holland, and thus you need to be ready to build a working-class club.
This means building a team that brings its own into the team, that plays attacking football, and that wins games. Fans expectations are huge, and finances are probably not deep enough to compete without European football. Concentrate on getting back into Europe in year one, and you should have the support to start building something that could eventually take the title from Ajax.
Who are the best players at Feyenoord?
As ever, you have lots of impressive talent at a young age so make sure you build the team around players like Tyrell Malacia and Lutsharel Geertruida. Ozan Kokcu is arguably your most important young talent, but the likes of Robert Bozenik and Naoufal Bannis should be players who you look to give a chance to ASAP.
Younger players who can become stars at this level include Ilyas el Moussaoui and Jayden Candelaria. You have lots of players to focus on, most of them young, so try to blend the odd experienced player you have – such as Jens Toornstra – with the next generation of young stars that Feyenoord are always producing.
