A save with Athletic Bilbao can be quite challenging if you decide to start your managerial journey with them. Athletic Bilbao have a strict transfer policy; you are only
allowed to sign Basque players. This transfer policy offers a very challenging
save as the variety of players that you are allowed to sign is very minimal.

Dorking was started by a group of mates in a pub in 1999. After 12 promotions in 23 years, they are now in the Conference and played Oldham, a club that used to be in the Premier League, in their first away game. Real-life FM. Need I say more?
