Team 1: Leverkusen

Under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen has won over hearts this year, mine included. They embrace football in its purest form, boasting an immensely enjoyable team dynamic.

Their style of play in-game mirrors this enjoyment, making Leverkusen a top pick for those craving an authentic and captivating football experience.

Objectives With Leverkusen

• Uphold Xabi Alonso's legacy by clinching the German title and triumphing in the Europa League this season.
• In the subsequent season, retain the squad, reinforce where necessary, and set sights on reaching the Champions League semifinals and reclaiming the German Championship.
• By the third year, aim for the treble.

Replicating this triumph in the following year poses a significant challenge for Leverkusen, given the potential departure of their coach and key players next summer.

The most thrilling task with Leverkusen is to sustain this success in the near future, maintaining their esteemed standards and progressing from their achievements.

Team 2: Manchester United

Manchester United, often revered as the greatest club, poses a distinctive challenge owing to their inconsistent performance, even in the current season. Their ongoing struggle for stability adds an enticing dimension to management, offering an opportunity to reshape the fortunes of one of football's most iconic teams.

Objectives With Manchester United

• Restore Manchester United's former glory by securing the Champions League title this season with a modest squad.
• In the following season, revamp the team by removing underperformers and strive to contend for the Premier League title until the final match.
• By the third season, aim to elevate United to the level of success seen in the late '90s, achieving the treble and captivating the hearts of football fans once again.

It's imperative to acknowledge Manchester United's longstanding commitment to its Youth Academy. In addition to constructing a formidable team, ensuring a seamless transition for young talents is paramount.

The objective isn't to mimic Manchester City but to rekindle United's distinctive identity, reaffirming its central position in football with its unique approach and traditions.

Team 3: Liverpool

Turning our attention to Liverpool, the fierce rival of United, we encounter a club steeped in history and eager for fresh achievements. With Klopp's departure and key players aging, Liverpool finds itself at a pivotal juncture, presenting an intriguing challenge of navigating uncertainty while striving for continued success.

Objectives With Liverpool

• In Klopp's final season, Liverpool must secure the English Championship, staying faithful to his philosophy.
• Post-Klopp, preserving the club's identity is paramount.
• With Salah and Virgil van Dijk advancing in age, the quest for new icons possessing similar flair is imperative, ensuring Liverpool's enduring legacy and competitive edge.

Liverpool, a legendary club, confronts significant future uncertainties, offering a prime opportunity to usher them into a new era. It's a thrilling moment to assume leadership and shape the forthcoming chapter of their illustrious history.

Team 4: Aston Villa

Aston Villa, a historic English club situated in one of the largest cities, has seldom clinched major trophies. However, this year, they've demonstrated excellence, emerging as formidable contenders in the Conference League despite potential shortcomings in the Premier League. It's a pivotal moment for Aston Villa to rise and leave a significant mark.

Objectives With Aston Villa

• This season, strive for Champions League qualification and secure at least a semifinal berth in the Conference League.
• In the following year, vigorously compete for the Premier League title until the final match.
• By the third year, aim to become the champions of England and reach the Champions League semifinals, signifying Aston Villa's resurgence to prominence.

Established in 1874, Aston Villa ranks among the world's oldest football clubs, having called their current stadium home since 1897. Despite boasting a rich history of achievements, they have yet to secure a Premier League title since its inception and suffered relegation in 2016. Nevertheless, their trajectory is now upward. It's time to fulfill this fairy tale by restoring Aston Villa to its former glory.

Team 5: Athletic Club De Bilbao

Athletic Club de Bilbao, often a beloved choice, commands attention. Their distinctive approach of exclusively recruiting players with local heritage sets them apart in contemporary football, presenting a remarkable challenge and a club we cannot ignore due to their dedication to regional talent.

Objectives With Athletic Club De Bilbao

• The overarching aim is to elevate this Basque club to the apex of Spanish football. Despite their consistent proximity to the summit, there's room for ascent.
• Invest in and continuously enhance the squad, aiming to clinch the title of Spanish champions by the conclusion of the third season, showcasing the prowess of local talent.
• Embarking on a career with this club entails strict adherence to their unique policy: only players with Basque roots are eligible for signing. However, players with Spanish roots are permissible for the Youth Academy.

This intricate approach adds complexity to the game, necessitating meticulous talent scouting, thereby rendering the management of Athletic Club de Bilbao a deeply immersive experience.

Team 6: Real Sociedad

Staying within the Basque region, we turn our attention to Real Sociedad, the fierce adversary of Athletic Club de Bilbao. Much like their counterparts, Real Sociedad consistently secures a position in Spain's top tier and is currently performing admirably in this season's Champions League, making them an enticing option for those seeking to challenge conventional norms.

Objectives With Real Sociedad

• The primary objective for this season is to outperform Athletic Club de Bilbao.
• In the following season, aim to elevate your performance to vie for the Spanish League title.
• By the third year, the aim is to clinch LaLiga, marking a significant milestone for Real Sociedad and establishing a new standard for success.

The challenge with Real Sociedad lies in achieving acclaim while diverging from the strict Basque-only policy adhered to by their primary rival. Prioritize the development of young players and invest in promising talents, a strategy that Real Sociedad has historically embraced. Strive to transcend the sub-top level and leave a lasting impression on the global stage, demonstrating that success can be attained through a combination of tradition and innovation.

Team 7: RB Leipzig

Returning to Germany, we journey to the east, where Red Bull has been on a transformative path since '09, propelling RB Leipzig from the depths of German football onto the global stage. The rise of RB Leipzig resembles a fairy tale, yet the narrative awaits its climactic conclusion in the form of significant silverware.

Objectives With RB Leipzig

• This season, set your sights on securing the title with Leipzig, ensuring a minimum fourth-place finish.
• In the subsequent season, the goal is to seize the Bundesliga crown and inevitably confront Manchester City in the Champions League, emerging victorious against them.
• By the third season, pivot the focus entirely towards clinching the Champions League, thereby crowning RB Leipzig's remarkable journey from the lower leagues to the pinnacle of European football.

Irrespective of perspectives on Red Bull's involvement, RB Leipzig's ascent is undeniably remarkable, warranting a fairy tale conclusion to their pursuit of glory.

Team 8: PSV Eindhoven

This year, PSV Eindhoven shines under the guidance of Peter Bosz, renowned for leading rivals Ajax to the Europa League final in 2017. Bosz's teams employ a blend of defensive and adventurous football, with varying degrees of success. However, this season, PSV appears poised for victory, embodying the quintessential underdog narrative in international football.

Objectives With PSV Eindhoven

• Setting aside the Eredivisie, where PSV consistently contends, the aim in commencing a career with PSV is to establish the club among the global elite. This ambitious goal can only be realized by achieving Champions League glory as the ultimate underdog, solidifying PSV's standing on the world stage.
• Embrace an attacking and adventurous style of play with a youthful squad.

The challenge with PSV lies in the annual departure of key players to larger clubs. This player turnover intensifies the difficulty of winning the Champions League, necessitating astute management and strategic planning to navigate the loss of vital talents while pursuing European success.

Team 9: Olympique Lyonnais

In France, Olympique Lyonnais, once a powerhouse, now finds itself in mid-table obscurity. Historically, they've been renowned for nurturing numerous French talents who reached the pinnacle of football. However, financial struggles in competing with PSG have dimmed their former glory. Despite bidding adieu to Stade de Gerland, Olympique Lyonnais still holds a special allure for us, epitomizing the spirit of an underdog with a storied past.

Objectives With Olympique Lyonnais

• This season, work with the resources available and strive for the highest attainable finish.
• Over the next two seasons, bolster the squad and establish a youth academy.
• Secure a top-six finish in Ligue 1 in the second season and contend for the French title in the third, reinvigorating the club's competitive spirit.

In France, every club grapples with the financial might of PSG, intensifying the challenge of surpassing them. While Olympique Lyonnais and AS Monaco have recently made strides, PSG's dominance in eight of the last ten seasons presents a formidable obstacle.

Team 10: Leicester City

Returning to England, Leicester City is currently in the Championship, aiming for a Premier League comeback. Their journey from a heartbreaking playoff defeat to Watford in 2013 to an improbable English title triumph under Claudio Ranieri in 2016 is akin to a fairy tale. After last year's relegation, it's time for a new chapter in the illustrious history of this beloved club.

Objectives With Leicester City

• Year 1 is dedicated to securing a return to the Premier League, utilizing Leicester's talented squad. In 2016, Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, and N'Golo Kanté transformed from relative unknowns into legendary figures. Strive to replicate their success with the resources available for promotion.
• Year 2 involves constructing a system reminiscent of Ranieri's era, ensuring survival in the Premier League.
• By year 3, with targeted reinforcements, aim to once again vie for the English title, echoing the fairy tale triumphs of Leicester's past with a rejuvenated squad.

Leicester City's remarkable tale stands as one of the most extraordinary narratives in European football over the past two decades, offering ample opportunity for reenactment in the realm of digital football.
