Football Manager 2016: 10 Incredibly Difficult Challenges You Need To Try

If you're no longer a Football Manager wonderkid, but a seasoned veteran who's 'been there, done that, got the Champions League trophy in Bolton Wanderer's trophy cabinet' you may feel like you've peaked. After all, there's no difficulty setting, so once you achieve an enormous feat, there's often a sense that it can't be topped. Trust me, it can. There is quite simply no limit to the level of achievements on Football Manager. Realistically, until you've won every single league on the game with the lowest ranked sides there is still fun to be had. And if you do manage to accomplish that, you'll have spent so much time on the game that you'll not be able to work to afford the electricity to run the game any longer. If you're looking for a new challenge, step right up. Here's a mix of individual clubs who will test your skills to the absolute limit, transfer policies that will challenge your ability in the transfer market, and a national team so awful that alien lifeforms are more likely to win the World Cup...

10. Gap Connah's Quay

Win the Champions League. That's your challenge. Gap Connah's Quay don't even sound like a team, but they're in the Welsh Premier League, the lowest reputation league you can play as on Football Manager 2016. There are a few 'top' teams who qualify for the preliminary rounds of the Europa League and the league winner is thrown into the Champions League. It'll take some time to develop Gap Connah's Quay into a Welsh Premier League champion, but you have to go so much higher than that. One trick that Football Manager fans have used in the past is to develop a tiny league into a big one. So hop around each club, grow the entire league's reputation as a whole. Improve the general quality, THEN win the Champions League. Say goodbye to your life in the process.
