Football Manager 2016: 10 Challenging Teams You Will Need To Use

10. Athletic Bilbao

Athletic Bilbao's signing policy has always provided a bit of a moral problem. If you take over, do you go out and splash the cash on any signings, or must they fall under Bilbao's 'Basque players only' rule? Football Manager doesn't restrict you, but clicking the team selection menu and seeing an entire squad of Spanish flags does give you the urge to stick with that formula. They've been a mediocre side for many seasons now, though 2013/14 saw them finish 4th in La Liga. However, during the last campaign they slid to 7th. The aim would be to guide them upwards into the elite levels of La Liga, but for a real challenge worthy of deep praise, can you raise the La Liga trophy using only Basque-born players, like Aymeric Laporte above?
