Football Manager 2020: 10 Challenging Teams You Must Consider Managing

It's been a long time coming, but La Liga is no longer a three horse race between Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. It's genuinely a beautiful sight to see so many new teams entering the title picture, making it far more exciting than it had been previously.

One of the teams who are on the cusp of becoming a title contender is Villarreal. The team has seen some success during the modern football era, but have yet to win a trophy since the Intertoto Cup back in 2004. However, they've managed to build a very good squad this season and it's one that good FM players should relish getting their hands on.

The Yellow Submarine has a wonderful mixture of youth and established players within their squad. While it's unlikely that they'll be battling the aforementioned Spanish giants for the title within the first season, test saves prove that with the right signings in defence, they could become more of a threat than most people think.

With just over £20 million in the transfer kitty, you have the opportunity to turn these mid-table dwellers into legitimate force.
