2 CURATED CAREERS

A place in the league, or a place in history

Troyes is our newly promoted survival selection, with a first target of stability before the top five becomes a realistic ambition. Saint-Étienne asks for a longer build inspired by the club’s 1976 European campaign. Neither story requires an invented starting budget to make it interesting.

A survival team must improve now without closing every academy pathway. A restoration project must retain enough continuity to grow through several seasons. Check your club’s actual division, finances, and squad before deciding whether a signing helps the next month or the next three years.

Club history and current premises are sourced in each linked dossier. FM27 squads, budgets, and registration details still require in-game verification.
