Can I Win a European Trophy with Non-Elite League Teams? | Bulgaria

[@QoopSWE]

I love this concept of trying to win a European trophy with a team from a lower league. Would be cool if you’d wanna try some team from the Swedish ”Allsvenskan”

[@StingerNeilD]

Cheers for the idea 🫡

[@undergroundlace1686]

Yeah and ofc don't use Malmö 😭

[@firdausansarifard]

How Graham Potter's former team, Östersunds FK? Remembered they had quite the run in the Europa League until they lost to Arsenal

[@StingerNeilD]

One of my favourite short term save videos I've done. Hope you enjoy

[@Yohann2]

I have recently discovered your channel and I’m gonna say I don’t regret it. Nice video.

[@StingerNeilD]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for giving the channel a chance

[@paulb4604]

You're one of the guys who I think that given enough time, the right tactics and players, you could win a European trophy with any team.

[@StingerNeilD]

Time is probably the key there. 7+ seasons absolutely, 5 seasons can go either way

[@benwilliams8667]

@@paulb4604 agreed. Unless he gets drawn against Aston Villa.

[@baibore]

My eyes were filled with tears, my friend! Even though I am a supporter of another Bulgarian club, it was a real pleasure for me to see someone make an effort to elevate a Bulgarian club to a high European level. Thank you!

[@StingerNeilD]

🇧🇬🇧🇬 my absolute pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it

[@al4i1]

About Nikola Iliev - he is Botev youth. They sell them to Inter, but he played only for the U teams. He was there...2 full seasson, maybe a little more. He win the primavera one time with the U-19. After that they loadned him back to Bulgaria (in CSKA1948). At the start ot this season (2024-2025) Botev bought them back. Great talent and he is still only 20years old.

[@StingerNeilD]

I wish the best for him. Now he's back at the right club maybe his career will explode

[@MouhamadouDiop-lw1sr]

Stinger the wizard one! This one gave me Mourinho Porto vibes

[@StingerNeilD]

I'll always take a Jose comparison

[@sbinek2505]

Love this! My long term save is in Bulgaria with Yantra Gabrovo! Been a blast (minus PSG consistently raiding my young talents!!)

[@StingerNeilD]

I will definitely go back there in FM25

[@sbinek2505]

Look forward to it! I always love seeing saves that are outside the top 5 leagues.

[@alveio7863]

I'm loving this series so far, it's super fun to watch! Keep it up, hopefully the views will be high, you deserve it

[@StingerNeilD]

I appreciate you

[@jonandrews6299]

Get in!!! Brilliant mate. Well done

[@StingerNeilD]

🫡 thank you boss

[@bubbebubbis]

Quality videos man, hope your channel grows so you can do this full time 😃

[@StingerNeilD]

Appreciated

[@cammy1885]

Tsunami at Levski Sofia 😆! What happened to Brazilian’s just being something -inho 😆! Another really great video and really enjoying this concept! Would be intrigued to see a little bit more in terms of how you’ve tackled the recruitment, obviously a very different approach to the Gala attempt when it was signing former stars on the come down. Looking forward to the next one already!

[@StingerNeilD]

Thanks mate. I like to keep recruitment relatively realistic for this type of team. By season 5 yes I could have grabbed the odd superstar but it wouldn't have fit with the whole concept I think

[@DICECLUB]

This is a crackin' series Stinger, really enjoying it! 👍

[@StingerNeilD]

Thank you sir 🫡

[@MrWebby333]

Really enjoyed that...great vid... something very different... brilliant...i was excited as much as you...😊

[@finnvanthoor517]

Keep up the good work! I love youre vids. Also because of your widespread tactical knowledge Hope you keep doing this! Same with the vercelli save One last thing Is it possible that you can do a save with AZ alkmaar ? It is the team that i support because of their fabulous youth system. Sorry for asking and keep up the good work!

[@StingerNeilD]

I'll add them to the shortlist thank you

[@kirdney04]

love those smaller league videos I also would like to see a big rebuild, longer and more Newgans to win the champions league

[@zhoul5147]

Try it with OH leuven in Belgium! They're my local team and my go to save! Granted we havent really got a history at all it would be fun to see!

[@StingerNeilD]

Cheers for the suggestion

[@adammackintosh430]

Loving this series, maybe Greece or Czechia next?

[@StingerNeilD]

Good options 👍

[@willemdocfoe]

amazing accomplishment, im stealing this tactic...

[@benwilliams8667]

Tbh thought you'd have no chance in Bulgaria! That fifth season 👀👏👏 Could you achieve this with an Irish or Welsh club for a truly brutal challenge?!!!

[@StingerNeilD]

Oof I reckon I'd need a lot longer than 5 seasons

[@kelvinengland3991]

Im doing the glory hunter but with the leagues rated 6-10 instead of 1-5. Should make it more challenging.

[@StingerNeilD]

Yes that's a good idea actually

[@kelvinengland3991]

@@StingerNeilD thinking my best chance of a champions league will come in Portugal. But I think that's going the be the really challenging one to win. To be fair in my original glory hunter I won the champions league with Lille which was a surprise.

[@viktorvalev31]

My favourite team!❤️Samo Botev!

[@dragosmagureanu4086]

You could try with Rapid FC, very good team with huge buget for the standards of Romanian League

[@StingerNeilD]

Nice suggestion

[@henrifer7719]

Stinger how do you pass years so quickly in these "rebuild" type of videos? Do you go on holidays? Also suggestions would be Rangers, Benfica or Anderlecht

[@StingerNeilD]

Lock in tactic - play 5-10 matches to make sure its working like you want it - holiday - stop holidaying for key games - in this save for example I played all the European games

[@needfoolthings]

I just might have to try the double DW with SS combo. Not the first time I've seen it working. Would you condirm that the DW have surprising offensive output (G/A and key passes) and did you always or mostly play balanced?

[@StingerNeilD]

Almost always balanced yes, and yes there G/A output was fantastic. Especially from the right side.

[@needfoolthings]

@StingerNeilD and left side left foot, right side right foot I assume.

[@tallesmagno201]

Do the defenisve wingers have "cross from the byline" ppi? So they operate like normal wingers in possesion?

[@StingerNeilD]

Believe so

[@muhammadrusyaidi2468]

My current save also in Bulgaria, damn its hard to survive in top division if you just have a few money😂

[@StingerNeilD]

No doubt, Europe is key
