What save ideas?
The rebuild games we have put together are the most popular save games on FM24. Each team is in a different situation to the last, but they all share something in common, they are on a downfall at the moment.
juventus
While Juventus have not fallen that far away from the top team’s in the league, their dominance of the league has definitely ended. For the last three seasons they have struggled and finished 7th in the league last year. That is a massive fall from grace for one of the top European teams.
The objective for Juventus is a straight forward one, get back into Europe and then get back to winning the league. It sounds easy, but you have a couple of well established teams in the two Milan teams to contend with. If you want a guide to help you set up on day one then we have the guide for you.
chelsea
This team I’m sure you are more familiar with, Chelsea. In the modern era of football Chelsea have been a big player. The Abramovich era was the turning point of the club, where we saw big money being spend on big stars like Drogba, Hazard, Fabregas and Torres. While the big spending with the new owner has not stopped, the success has.
Chelsea have not won the league for 7 years and hit a low point of 12th in the league a couple of years ago. What they need to do is reverse this tail spin they are in, and become competitive in the league again. Our guide will help you get started on day one if you choose to start this rebuild.
schalke
Now this one is going to be a real challenge. Schalke 04 used to be a regular top four team in the Bundesliga, a team that competed in Europe. Over time though the success dwindled and they fell down the league. Then in 2020 Covid flattened them financially and they weer relegated. They soon bounced back but were relegated again after being outclassed in the league.
They are now in the Bundesliga 2 again, looking to get out and stabilise in the Bundesliga. This is going to take some time to get back to the top of the German leagues, but it is possible. This could be a long rebuild save game if you fancy it. You will find our set up guide here if you need some inspiration to start.
barcelona
Another club that has been financially crippled in recent years is Barcelona. This is more self inflicted as Barcelona were always over stepping in the transfer market and the chickens came home to roost. They have done well dealing with it and being able to field a team while performing to a good level.
This one is a different sort of challenge, this is a financial challenge. Barcelona need to get free of the debt and flourish once again. There are a number of ways to rebuild this team, but the obvious way seems to be through the youth. Either selling them or developing them to a first team level. Our guide is pretty straight on how to set up on day one, so should help you.
ajax
The dutch legends, the team that gave total football to the world, the home of John Cruyff. When we think about Ajax we think of great football, playing it with freedom and fluidity. Unfortunately, the last couple of season have been difficult, and they are on a downward trajectory.
This rebuild is more of an intervention, as we are getting in to reverse engineer the last couple of years of bad luck before it ruins the club. I think you can get competitive as early as the first season, but you should be winning the league in the second or third season. Then it’s time to turn the clock back to the 90’s and become the kings of Europe.
Our guide for Ajax will help you start on the right foot.
