Attempting to break Celtic's dominance of Scottish football, usually with a club like Aberdeen, has always been a popular challenge among Football Manager enthusiasts, and here's an even tougher version of that.

Welsh football has been a one-horse race for a number of seasons now, with professional outfit The New Saints winning the league title six times on the spin. If you don't win a domestic treble with TNS on Football Manager, quit right away.

This is the ultimate reign of terror to put to an end, and the club you should attempt to do it with is Bala Town. This is the team of plucky minnows who pipped TNS to the Welsh Cup last team, ending the champions' eight-trophy winning spree.

That's a platform to build on in your quest to end the team's domination of football in Wales, but make no mistake, this is still a Goliath task to a much greater extent than Aberdeen versus Celtic.

Bala have a handful of players with professional experience in England and Scotland, such as Conall Murtagh and Jordan Evans, but you know you've made it as a FM18 manager if you can prise the league title away from TNS' cast-iron grip or get them into the knockout phase of a European competition.
