Hardest Teams to Manage on Football Manager 2024

If you're looking to challenge yourself to the max in Football Manager 2024, then these teams are the ones to manage. Hardest teams to manage in FM24.
Hardest Teams to Manage on Football Manager 2024

Take on the toughest managerial challenges in Football Manager 2024—can you turn these troubled clubs into champions?


If you're seeking a proper challenge while we wait for Football Manager 2025, we've compiled a list of clubs that bring complexity and obstacles to a whole new level. These teams will have you questioning your tactics, scrambling for solutions, and maybe even pulling your hair out by winter break. Are you ready to take on some of the most demanding saves in FM24?

1. Athletic Club


Athletic Club FM24

Although the Basque giants, Athletic Club, remain one of Spain's most storied and admired teams, managing them is a mammoth task due to their unique, self-imposed signing policy. Athletic Club only recruits players born or trained in the Basque Country, which limits the recruitment pool dramatically. This distinctive approach makes the club an irresistible challenge in Football Manager.

The top Basque talents are often already playing for major European teams or are prohibitively expensive, pushing you to work with the players you develop internally. Building a squad of elite Basque players often stretches beyond Athletic’s transfer budget, even with their rich history and devoted fanbase.

The real challenge lies in managing the turnover of players and developing academy talents to replace those who leave. Success here isn't about the players you can buy—it's about maximizing the potential of those already in the club and nurturing emerging talent within a limited player pool.

While Athletic has a fervent fanbase and a top-class stadium in San Mamés, consistent title contention is challenging given these recruitment restrictions. This makes Athletic Club one of the most rewarding and unique challenges in FM24—a giant of a club with enduring constraints for anyone bold enough to aim for silverware.

2. Sheffield Wednesday


Sheffield Wednesday FM24

Imagine managing a club with one of England’s most passionate fanbases, now languishing in the Championship and still facing financial struggles. Sheffield Wednesday is a unique challenge in FM24, dealing with the fallout of financial issues that have plagued the club over recent years. While debts have been addressed in recent updates, the club remains far from stable financially, with limited resources and demanding ownership.

The squad itself presents its own challenges, feeling pieced together without clear direction. You're dealing with high expectations from fans who yearn for the glory days, but with limited funds and little recourse for a quick squad overhaul.

To succeed at Sheffield Wednesday, you'll need to make the most of what you have, balancing the fans' high expectations with the reality of a club that needs careful financial management and strategic player development. If you're resourceful and can find hidden gems without big spending, you might just steer this storied club back to success—but don’t expect an easy ride.

3. Hamburger SV


Hamburger SV FM24

Hamburger SV (HSV), once a German powerhouse and European Cup winner, continues to struggle in the 2. Bundesliga in FM24, with the weight of its history pressing down hard. Having been relegated in 2018, HSV has been stuck in the second tier, fighting to regain a place in the Bundesliga but hampered by frequent managerial changes and a roster that often lacks balance.

The expectations are colossal, but so are the financial and structural issues. Despite being a major club with a dedicated fanbase, limited resources make promotion tough, and any success in the Bundesliga even harder to maintain.

Taking on HSV is a trial of patience, shrewd tactics, and financial acumen. Can you overcome the high expectations, manage limited budgets, and bring stability to one of Germany’s fallen giants? This save will put your skills to the test.

4. Red Bull Bragantino


Red Bull Bragantino FM24

For a truly unique challenge in South American football, look no further than Red Bull Bragantino in Brazil. While they benefit from financial backing from Red Bull, they’re a relatively unpopular club in a league dominated by legendary teams like Flamengo, Palmeiras, and São Paulo. Red Bull’s ownership expects Bragantino to compete at the top quickly, despite a lack of historical prestige and the difficulty in attracting established players.

In FM24, Bragantino’s challenge lies in creating a winning team fast enough to satisfy ownership, which isn’t easy in Brazil’s fiercely competitive top division. You’ll need to retain key talents while avoiding wage inflation, which can destabilize the dressing room. Can you keep the ownership happy, build a squad of ambitious young players, and establish Bragantino as a serious competitor? The pressure is on from day one.
