Football Manager 2020: 10 Challenging Teams You Must Consider Managing

There are plenty of teams that will be a difficult task for any seasoned Football Manager player, but you'll struggle to find a more brutal challenge than League 1 side, Bolton Wanderers. Honestly, their situation at the start of the game is enough to make your brow sweat and question your decisions.

Firstly, the team is seriously lacking in terms of talent, so anyone playing as them will need to know about all the bargain free agents and creative loan spells that can help them fight against relegation. You might notice that we didn't mention anything about buying players. That's because Bolton have absolutely zero in the bank account at the moment. Even if you sell your best players, you're unlikely to make enough cash to stem the tide.

Also, the team are in the negative at the beginning of the season, starting on minus 12 points and leaving you at a major disadvantage. This is the FM equivalent of playing Dark Souls on extreme. However, if you think that you've got the credentials to take on this mammoth task of a job, then the position is all yours.
