Football Manager 2015: 10 Challenging Teams You Must Consider Managing

2. New York City FC

The newest MLS franchise - along with Orlando City SC - is a joint venture by Manchester City and the New York Yankees. David Villa and Frank Lampard have already been announced as their Designated Players, with no official matches until 2015. Because of this, FM gives the chance to take charge a year before their first match, which gives plenty of time to build a team from scratch. Similarly to RB Leipzig, the club's history begins with your management. Having a blank canvas, in the world's biggest and most famous city, must be a huge appeal. However, restrictive MLS rules are a significant drawback. Incoming transfer fees belong to the MLS, wages are tiny for non-DPs, there's no relegation but there are annual drafts. If you can look past these odd rules that don't fit with worldwide football, taking charge of New York City FC could be a lot of fun. Similar Challenge Orlando City (USA)
