The best part is that you don't have to worry about contesting the Champions League or UEFA. But, you have a lot of work cut-out. You need to replace and solidify many positions. Then, over a couple of seasons, if you buy the right players, you could seriously challenge Bayern & Borussia for the Bundesliga title.

2. Lille (Ligue 1)

When it comes to France's Ligue 1, PSG are top contenders and definitely the team to beat. By managing Lille, you will have a very good scouting system at your disposal. It hosts a mix of all nationalities, so you can get the best of the lot. In a few seasons, you should be able to develop a squad that can contend for the title. 

The best part is that you won't have to spend too much money in the transfer market to achieve the results the board expects from you!

3. Aberdeen (Scottish Premier League)

So, you can also try to emulate the success of Sir Alex Ferguson, the immortal manager of Manchester United, who started out by taking care of Aberdeen. You have two main clubs to compete with, Celtics & Rangers. You can build the squad around Lewis Ferguson, the talented midfielder. 

You have to develop players, and also try to get good deals in the transfer market to succeed with Aberdeen. Soon, other clubs will be after you, and not the players. 

4. Atalanta (Italian Serie A)

Atalanta is a lethal attacking force in FIFA 21, and their defense is secondary. The goal-scoring trio for Atalanta consists of Uván Zapata, Josip Iličić, and the brilliant passer, Alejandro Gómez. 

You don't have to worry about the offensive, only defensive. But, this too can be sorted out with a few smart & young signings who have the potential to make it big for Atalanta.

5. Newcastle United (English Premier League)

Newcastle have a modest budget, a good combination of players, but you have keep making purchases and good ones. The English Premier League is tough to survive in, tougher to thrive in, and improbable to win when managing Newcastle. But, a few smart signings, and you could surely give the top teams a run for their money.
