In the Quick Start mode, you’ll find that the default options for teams to manage are from the top division in your region. Opting for a bigger team gives you a higher likelihood of initial success, thanks to their better players and larger budgets. However, they come with elevated expectations that can be quite challenging for a newcomer to Football Manager.
Choosing a lower league team and managing a smaller club might mean the Board is a bit more patient with their demands. However, the talent pool at this level may not be as extensive, and your resources will likely be more limited.
Ultimately, there’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ team to choose. As long as you grasp the job’s requirements and understand your available tools, you’ll be well-prepared to kick off your managerial career.
