Bring fallen clubs back to glory
This is the second strand of ideas – here you work with real clubs that have fallen on hard times. For example, FC Schalke 04, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, traditional German clubs, as well as TSV 1860 Munich, MSV Duisburg or SV Waldhof Mannheim. Similarly in England, Blackburn Rovers or Middlesborough FC, which were once great and now play in lower divisions. FC Valencia, which used to be much stronger and more important, or Stade Rennes and AS St. Etienne, former French champions, could also be led back to the top.
Alternatively, you can also choose fifth-tier clubs like Sutton United or Wrexham – two clubs that are listed under “Rest of the World”. Sutton United qualified for the FIFA series for the first time as winners of the “National League”, the fifth English division – and Wrexham has a partnership with EA and returns to the game after 14 years.
In the USA, LA Galaxy, David Beckham’s former club, and his current one (as owner) Inter Miami are also lagging behind their glorious times[1][2]. Chicago Fire, Bastian Schweinsteiger’s club, has also seen better days. All these teams have a great history and can become great again – with your help! Tips are also available in the FIFA Infinity blog (English).
Building super leagues
And of course, FIFA offers so many possibilities to build fantasy leagues, with or without your own club. Create an Eastern European league, in EEP on PC with additional teams like Red Star Belgrade. By the way, you can also play with Russia there. Or build a Northern European league from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Scotland, maybe add Holland and HJK Helsinki from Rest of the World.
Create a real American league: Bring teams from the USA, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina into the German league or the French league, or into the English league system. Then play out the real American championship. Or bring the US teams into one country and the others into the remaining top leagues – and meet FC Santos or Boca Juniors in the Champions League.
There are so many possibilities: Asian league from (Create-A-Club-Japan), South Korea, Saudi Arabia, India and Australia. Southern European league with Italy, Spain, Portugal and Olympiacos Piraeus, Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split. Or an Anglo-Saxon league of English-speaking countries. Or choose the classic Super League – and start with a weak team from India, Australia or Saudi Arabia – with Al Hilal to the Super League crown! Let your imagination run wild!
