This season, Tranmere are back in the National League and therefore back on FIFA. Statistically they are one of the worst teams on the FIFA roster, and we all know what that means...

You have to win the Champion's League with them. Much like making your goalkeeper take the second penalty in a shootout, or slide tackling Ronaldo at every given opportunity in the hopes of injuring him, it's just the FIFA rules.

Tranmere Rovers have actually signed three players who were on last season's game, which gives us an insight into how good their starting team will be. Centreback Mark Ellis (64), central midfielder Ollie Banks (65), and left midfielder Josh Ginnelly (60) were all featured on FIFA 18, and make a decent spine of a League 2 side.

Don't forget, League 2 defences are hardly made up of Maldinis and Cafus, so the likes of Cole Stockton and James Norwood could be a lethal pairing up front. But the squad of unknowns and very limited transfer budget will only take you so far, so keep eyes on in-form budget goalscorers from the leagues around you.

Eventually, though, you will get there. It might take five seasons, it might take ten. Lionel Messi has retired, Raheem Sterling is England's most senior player. Trent Alexander-Arnold won the Ballon D'or as a Bale-esque winger. He's a Tranmere player. And he has just lifted the UEFA Champion's League trophy with you at the helm.
