We kick off our list of teams to manage for the FM24 winter transfer update with the riveval of one of the historic powerhouse clubs in Germany.
Between 2004 and 2009, Schalke 04 was locking horns with Bayern Münich and fighting for the German Bundesliga title on several occasions along with their biggest rival, Borussia Dortmund. A second place in Bundesliga 2017/18 was followed up by a 14th position the following season. It was the start of the club’s greatest demise in the club’s history.

Currently, in 2024, Die Königsblauen struggles to avoid relegation from the 2. Bundesliga with 4 points clear from automatic relegation to the German 3. Liga. That’s a massive fall for the second-largest club in Germany with over 178,000 members.
With seven German champions, five DFB-Pokals and winner’s of the UEFA Cup 1996–97, the reality for Schalke is highly uncertain. After years of sporting mismanagement, huge debts that has increased in the aftermath of the pandemic and financial troubles that has made it difficult to keep hold of their best players by renewing their contracts and gain income from sales, or sign players to improve their squad, Schalke 04’s future is on the brink of entering administration and not being able to renew their 2. Bundesliga licence.
The consequences of the club’s financial situation came to light in the January transfer window as they were only able to sign two players on loan; talented defender, Brandon Soppy and left winger, Darko Churlinov.
A closer look at the current Schalke 04 squad reveals the club has the second oldest average team in the league. Featuring only five players, out of a 27 man squad, under the age of 23, a huge task lays in front of you to change the club’s fortune and become self-sustainable by developing their own club legends, such as producing the next Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Leroy Sané, Julian Draxler or Joel Matip.
Celebrating their 120 anniversary in May 2024, the club from Gelsenkirchen can be a wonderful choice for a rebuild save on Football Manager 2024. The club has also a great youth academy which is suitable for a wonderful youth development challenge on Football Manager 2024.
Can you hold onto one of the biggest talents to come through the renown Schalke 04 Academy, or will you need to sell Assan Ouédraogo in order to build the club from the ground up and reshape the club’s scouting network to replicate their golden era where Raul and Leon Goretzka were household names in a competitive Die Knappen squad?!

It’s not only the former German historic powerhouse Schalke 04 who is struggling. After 12 seasons in struggling in the 2. Bundesliga before a four year stint in the German 3.Liga, the four-times German Champions, 1.FC Kaiserslautern, finds themselves on an automatic relegation from the 2. Bundesliga with 12 match yet to be played.
With 5 points behind newly promoted Wehen Wiesbaden, or 10 points behind SV Elversberg, the 2023-24 season can only be described as miserable.
1. FC Kaiserslautern has been busy in the January transfer window and used it to try improve the club’s league position ahead of the latter stages of the 2. Bundesliga. 7 new signings entered the doors of the Fritz-Walter-Stadion – including Dickson Abiama signed for €150K and Almamy Touré joining as a free agent. The average age of the current squad stands at 26.5 – one of the highest in the 2. Bundesliga!
As one of the founding members of the Bundesliga, the current situation is far from the brilliant achievements managed in the beginning of the 90s. After winning their second German Cup in 1996, the club got relegated to the 2. Bundesliga the same season after playing in the top division since 1963.
But, it was a quick affair as they won promotion back to the top flight the following season, and won the German Championship for the fourth time the following season (1997-98). Winning the championship as a newly promoted team is quite unique and is one challenge to hunt for in your Football Manager 2024 save game.
The challenge by managing Kaiserslautern in FM24 Winter Transfer Update is apart from avoiding relegation to 3. Liga and hunt for promotions to the top flight, is to create a new club legend similar to Fritz Walter, who came through the club’s academy and played for 1.FCK his entire career!
Can you rebuild Die roten Teufel into a German powerhouse who can challenge for European trophies year in and year out with an entire squad of homegrown German talents?

Swindon is one of those traditional English teams that has a lot of history but who has been through great turmoils in recent years. Founded in 1879, meaning they will celebrate their 145 year-anniversary this year, the Robins has mainly played in the lower leagues for the past 30 years and is now found in the fourth level of the English football league system.
We have to go back to 1993/94 when player-manager Glenn Hoddle guided Swindon to the Premier League after winning the playoff match against Leicester. The following season in the top flight ended in a disaster.
After conceding a record 100 goals(!) – something that hadn’t happen in 30 years, they were relegated immediately despite Jan Aage Fjørtofts best effort to bag goals in the latter half of the season – scoring 13 goals in 17 matches including a hat-trick!
Still today, Swindow holds the record for most goals conceded in a Premier League season.
However, their greatest achievement is winning the English League Cup 1968/69 meaning they would be able to play in an European competition for the first time in the club’s history. As far as I know, it was also their first and last time.
Playing football at the oldest football ground in England, the club has seen a number of legendary players wear the iconic red kit. Apart from Glenn Hoddle, John Trollope held the record for the most appearances for one club with his 770 matches, until Dean Lewington broke the record with 784 appearances for Milton Keynes Dons.
Besides their icons, the club’s youth Academy has been a major contributor to English football. Theo Walcott, Jayden Bogle and Lukas Jutkiewicz are some of the players who have made decent success in top of the English football.
In the current Swindow team, you will experience a mix bag of experience versus talents. Able to manage Charlie Allen in the last stages of his career, or try to get the best out of former Liverpool striker, Paul Glatzel’s potential, could be interesting.
Personally, I’m considering managing Swindon in FM24 to revenge that disastrous 1993/94 season and better their reputation as a youth development club. Lifting one of the most famous trophies in the world; the Premier League and Champions League trophies would be a dream beyond reality.
It will definitely become one of the hardest challengest in years to revive Swindow Town to a Premier League club that can be mentioned in the same breath as Arsenal, Totteham and Manchester United.

FC Lorient is one of the few clubs in Europe who has never won the nation’s championship. Despite being founded in 1927, the French club from Lorient, was an amateur club for a long time until finally reaching promotion to the Ligue 1 ahead of 1998/99 season.
Famed for being a stepping-stone club of French internationals such as Laurent Koscielny, Yoann Gourcuff and Kevin Gameiro, the club with only one major trophy in their cabinet, a Coupe de France 2001-02 title, can be a great suggestion for a glory hunter challenge.
Promoted to the Ligue 1 in 2019/20, the club currently finds themselves fighting against Nantes to avoid the relegation playoff position. With equal points, and after four years in the Ligue 1, Lorient’s destiny is in their own hands – something they are willing to anything to change.
In the January transfer window, French Les Merlus have made a number of recognized signings. Spending €8.40m on five new signings, the club mean business as they head into the latter half of the season.
Their biggest signing, Mohamed Bamba, who joined from Wolfsberger for €5m, has already made a great impact with 5 goals in the first four matches after entering the club. Watford’s loanee Imrân Louza has also made a great display with one goal and two assists in three appearances. Meanwhile French wonderkids winger Badredine Bouanani has also joined on loan.
Despite fighting in the relegation battle, I’m stunned by the club’s commitment to their transfer policy. Having one of the youngest teams in Ligue 1, the average age of the new winter transfer signings was 21.6.
You can continue on the club’s plan to sign only under-23 players and focus your scouting network to scout for wonderkids and talents, and build a dynasty by continue the club’s tradition to be a stepping stone club. In this instance, you can look to Benfica or Ajax who have gained a reputation to develop young players and reach national and international success by taking advantage of their youth academy.
Turning the club into a wonderkid factory by signing only under-21 players can be a highly rewarding challenge. Keeping hold of the club’s greatest ever talent, Junior Kroupi, and making him into a club legend can be a wonderful side mission.

With the arrival of the FM24 Winter Transfer update, many of you, including me, use its release as a chance to finally embark on a lower league save. One suggestion for an English lower league team to manage is Chesterfield FC.
After six years in the English Vanarama National, Chesterfield currently find themselves top of the league -with 19 points clear! Celebrating their 120 year anniversary on April 24th, 2024, the current club manager, Paul Cook, has slowly but steadily turned the club into a Sky Bet League Two candidate.
From a 19th position under John Pemberton in 2019/20 to a third position last year, the positivism surrounding the club can help the club gain promotion back to Sky Bet League One over the coming years if improvements continues.
Chesterfield FC has not played in the League One since 2016-17 following a sixth place two years earlier, but is one of the rising football clubs in the English lower leagues, along with Wrexham and Tamworth Football Club. Tamworth is looking at a back to back promotion from Southern League Premier Division to the Vanarama National, if they manage to keep hold of their 1st place in Vanarama National North, whilst Wrexham is chasing promotion from EFL League Two after promoting from the Vanaram National.
In the Spireites ranks, you’ll be able to meet some of the best players in the league. For instance, Tom Naylor signed for Chesterfield in the summer of 2023 from Wigan, meanwhile Michael Jacobs came from Portsmouth and Will Grigg was signed from Wimbledon. Despite, having a rather quite January transfer window, the strength of the Chesterfield squad is there to hunt for promotion and build a future English lower league powerhouse.

If you’re searching for a fallen giant to manage on FM24, Pro Vercelli 1892 could be the ideal club to manage. Founded 132 years ago, the club was one of the Italian powerhouses between 1908 and 1922 when the club won all of their seven Italian championships. This makes the club one of the most successful clubs in Italy.
Situated between Turin and Milano, the club’s decline happened when these two powerhouses started to make a name for themselves after the second world war.
Now, the club hasn’t won an Italian Championship for over 100 years, and it’s 90 years since the club last played in the Serie A. With a squad average age of 22.9 – featuring only 3 foreign players – Pro Vercelli could be an interesting save where you revive a sleeping giant.
Even though it will be a challenge enough to get the club back to the top flight, you can make it harder by building a squad of only Italian players. Having to rely mostly on the quality of your youth intake and otherwise try to sign local players from the Piedmont region and nearby cities, you can try to build a dynasty from the outcasts from Novara, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan.
By trying to hold onto the club’s greatest talent Matteo Rizzo (18), you can try to turn the young goalkeeper wonderkid into a club legend!

If you enjoy the challenge of rescuing a smaller footballer club from relegation and change the club’s fortune by applying one of the best tactics for FM24, then SKU Amstetten might be the challenge you are looking for!
Currently competing in the Austrian 2. Liga, the club from Amstetten is yet to win a competitive match! With only four points after half the season being played, SKU Amstetten’s destiny looks certain!
As they have never competed in the top flight of Austrian football and therefore achieved no major trophies, managing SKU Amstetten gives you the leeway to create a club according to your own heart. Here you can focus on building the foundation for a future Austrian powerhouse who can compete against RB Salzburg and Sturm Graz to feed the Austrian national team with local talents.
Whether you want to apply a certain club DNA by focusing on specific player types or a certain tactical philosophy similar to Pep Guardiola’s positional play, applying a more modern 3-4-2-1 Xabi Alonso tactic or play a traditional 4-2-3-1 gegenpressing is all up to you.
However, on FM24, you’ll get the chance to turn the minor Austrian league into a global superpower. Founded in 199, after two minor clubs merged, SKU Ertl Glas Amstetten has had a steep rise through the Austrian regional divisions after starting out in the 7th tier of the Austrian football pyramid.
With 30 players in the squad and an average age of only 23.1, the foundation is there for a Austrian youth development save. In the January transfer window, the squad was improved with 11 new players – with Leon Fust bought from FC Bayern Münich, the most familiar name.
Managing SKU Amstetten can provide you with a similar excitement of Zealand’s Florisdorfer save.. and who knows, perhaps you will be invited by SKU Amstetten to visit the club ground if you manage to win the UEFA Champions League?!

When one of the most legendary football clubs in Norway, Vålerenga Fotball Elite relegated from the top flight after loosing to Kristiansund in relegation play off 2023, it was a hard blow for anyone following Norwegian football. It will be something missing in the Eliteserien without the biggest club from Oslo.
Lyn Fotball, Stabæk and Vålerenga can only envy KFUM Oslo, who will compete in the Eliteserien as the only club from the capitol of Norway.
With the relegation of Vålerenga to the first division of the Norwegian football league, a 22-year stint in the top flight came to an end. Known throughout Europe for their dedicated supporters called Klanen, and their amazing job of producing talents, Vålerenga Football could be described as a fallen giant.
With five Norwegian championships and four NM titles, the club ranks as the among the fourth most successful clubs in Norway. However, they are miles behind Rosenborg BK’s 26 championships. Now, it’s 19 years since Vålerenga became Norwegian champions the last time, and the relegation to OBOS-ligaen might see them struggle for years.
Ahead of 2024 season, the club features a mix of talented youngsters that’s close to making their breakthrough, as well as more experienced players. Expectations are high for the development of Aleksander Hammer Kjelsen, Jones el-Abdellaoui, Filip Thorvaldsen and Magnus Riisnæs, who might get more responsibilities on their shoulders.
After the sale of one of the best players in Eliteserien 2023, Andrej Ilic to LOSC Lille in the Winter Transfer window, the club has managed to secure Utrecht’s talented striker Mees Rijks (20), who they can develop and sell for profit. Even though the transfer window is open for 40 more days, managing Vålerenga in FM24 could become a great adventure, especially if you’ve never managed in Norway before.
Here you can profit from the club’s magnificent youth academy and try to create the next Erling Haaland or the next Martin Ødegaard. The short-term challenge will be to get the club back to where they belong, before trying to become the next manager legend after Kjetil Rekdal’s successful era 8 years ago.

It was quite a surprise when Santos Futebol Clube relegated to the Brazilian Serie B for 2024 season. For the first time in the club’s 111-year history(!), they will need to take the hard route down. Founded in 1912, Peixe is regarded as one of the best clubs in Brazil with their eight Brasileirão championships, one Copa do Brasil trophy and 22 state championships. On top of that, they hold the records of most consecutive Brazilian national titles in a row with five titles won between 1961 and 1965.
Their eight international trophies, makes them the sixth most successful club in South America. But it’s now 13 years since they won the Copa Libertadores for the third and so far last time. Famed for their golden era with the Os Santásticos in the 1960s which featured Pelé, Santos FC is truly one of the world’s fallen giants.
Having gone through years of financial problems, and various bans from FIFA after failing to pay debts, Santos FC has been gone through a period of transition. After 13 managerial changes in only four years, Marcelo Teixeira is back as president to revive the club from its ashes.
In FM24, you might be lucky to prosper from the positive +€43.27m in transfer balance after the sale of Marcos Leonardo to Benfica (€18m) and Jean Lucas (€4.5m). Despite a number of sales, the current squad features 42 players(!) featuring Alfredo Morelos and João Paulo as two of their current stars.
Your challenge with managing Santos FC in Football Manager 2024 would be to apply the Jogo Bonito style of play and revive the attacking 2-3-5 formation and create a new superteam of only Brazilian talents.
Your ambitions would be to be the biggest contributor to the Brazilian national team and led Santos FC to their fourth Copa Libertadores title and become the most successful club in South America by closing the gab to the Argentinian powerhouses Boca Juniors and Independiente.

Como 1907 could be regarded as the Italian equivalent to the Welsh club Wrexham.
With limited resources, but with the backing from their Indonesian owners, president and CEO, Dennis Wise and his minority shareholders Cesc Fabregas and Thierry Henry are taking part in an exciting project to build Como 1907 into a club to be recogned with in Italian football. Based in the region of Lombardy, Como 1907 hasn’t been in the Serie A since 2003!
Now, the former Barcelona and Arsenal legends are sharing off their professional football exertise to bring Como 1907 back into the top flight of Italian football, whilst also getting professional coaching experience. With the ambition of becoming a manager, Cesc Fabregas is currently the assistant manager at the club alongside Marc Bircham.
Aftere 26 matches played, Como 1907 is just 9 points behind automatic promotion to the Serie A and finds themselves on 5th place, 2 points behind Venezia at second.
In FM24, their current squad includes a number of familiar faces. Both former Torino attacking midfielder, Simone Verdi, former AC Milan and Wolves striker, Patrick Cutrone and Dinamo Zagreb product Adrian Semper is part of the team.
In the January transfer window, Como was quite active on the transfer market, signing both Nicholas Gioacchini from St. Louis for €2m and Samuel Ballet for €1.8m and spending a total of €5.53m on 10 new signings.
If you’re looking at managing a rising club in Football Manager 2024, Como 1907 could be a great challenge. You could try to sign only former players to the backroom staff and focus your attention at improving the facilities before chasing for the club’s first major trophy!

NAC Breda is probably one of the football clubs with the longest names. Originally named Nooit opgeven altijd doorzetten, Aangenaam door vermaak en nuttig door ontspanning, Combinatie Breda, the Dutch club founded in September 1912, was playing in the top division from 1992 to they got relegated in 2015. In that period, the club hosted Dutch internationals, such as Pierre van Hooijdonk and competed in the UEFA Europa League 2003 – where they reached fourth round.
NAC Breda has won the National Championship (1920-21) and the KNVB Cup on one occasions. In the golden era of Ajax’s Total Football, NAC Breda won the Dutch Cup in 1972–73, and ended runner-ups the year after, loosing to PSV.
Over the years, the club has managed to produce a number of notable players. Both Bart Verbruggen, Jan Paul van Hecke and Sydney van Hooijdonk has come through the academy in the last 10 years. This is something you can build upon by focusing on producing the next generation of Dutch talents by adopting a youth only save. Signing cheap wonderkids from across the world under the age of 21 and progress through to the UEFA Champions League final with a wonderkids XI, or focusing on youth intakes to hopefully get a golden generation, can increase the fun of managing NAC Breda in FM24.
Now playing in the first division of Dutch football for the fifth year in the row, it’s time to revive NAC Breda into a candidate to compete for an European competition spot. They have improved the squad with Norwegian defensive midfielder Fredrik Oldrup Jensen, in the hope that he can help the team to improve their current 10th position, 2 points behind a play off qualification spot to the Eredivisie.
Under Jean-Paul van Gastel leadership, this could end up in the worst league position in the first division since 1987/88 if they can’t improve on their 10th place.
FC Stockholm Internazionale – Swedish Ettan Norra
Have you ever wanted to manage a rising club that hs propelled through the leagues and got the foundation for success? FC Stockholm Internazionale is one of those clubs. Owned by billionaire Fredrik Wester, who has also invested in Gimnastic in Spain, the Stockholm based club has gone from playing in the 7th division (level 9) to the Ettan (3rd level) in less than 10 years! (
Founded in 2010, FC Stockholm has appointed former Malmö FF, AIK and Brann manager Rikard Norling as their new manager for 2024 season. That’s quite impressive considering their current league level!
At AIK, Rikard Norling had a win ratio of 57.40 and helped the club to win Allsvenskan in 2018. He made a similar feat at Malmö FF 5 years earlier.
After the promotion to the Ettan, FC Stockholm has made several new free transfer signings. The signing of David Fällman (33) stands out as he has experience from the top flight of both Norwegian and Swedish football.
Managing FC Stockholm on FM24 could give you an wonderful journey. With an average age of 24.6, the squad is determined to reach the highest tier in Swedish football in record time! Can you lead one of the youngest football clubs in the world, FC Stockholm, to European success?!
