Football Manager 2019: 10 Challenging Teams You Must Consider Managing

3. Sunderland

Want to make yourself a legend in the North East? How about undoing the disastrous recent history of Sunderland and taking them back to the Premier League?

They have a massive budget for a League One club (though it's still only £4m) and the brand appeal to ensure you could bring in some good loans and free transfers, so that's a good start. There's also some Championship level talent in there too, like Duncan Watmore and some good youngsters.

It's a rewarding project, though the Championship might be a harder step - but getting the Black Cats back to the Premier League is a must for veteran players.
