It’s easy to select a club like Real Madrid and immediately dominate all the tournaments. You acquire a star-studded lineup and replicate their success from real life. The real excitement, for me at least, lies in taking a sleeping giant to their former glory. These are all clubs that used to be great once but have fallen from grace due to certain reasons.

There are some common factors with all these clubs – they all used to win major trophies once. But those times are long gone (while Manchester United still won two trophies in the last two years, the standards have drastically fallen).

Rebuilding these clubs will be challenging as some have fallen to the second division. The transfer budget for most of these teams is pretty paltry, so you’ll have to slowly build up a talented core that will help you win trophies in the future.
