Players with Potential

Okay so I'm flying out on another holiday tomorrow but am quite bored today so decided to start a game as the succession game I am in has been quite slow to progress this past week.

This isn't a traditional story, take a team win leagues, cups etc. Nor is it a try to restore a former giant to the top of the mountain, instead this career will focus on players who in past Fm's and real life were considered wonderkids and going to be the best in the world but for whatever reason never quite made it.

I am unsure how I will start this game whether I will create a new team and fill it with about 20 or so of these players or start with an existing team and buy these players while selling on current players.

I feel the first option is the best way to get these players together to have a shot at being the best in the world quickly but the second option has more of a redeeming quality about it, giving players a second chance at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Feel free to leave your opinions on which option I should take in the comments as I am going to pack and get ready now before I start the game and get too caught up in it.

Edit: Oh also for some reason I couldn't create this career as unemployed, kept getting an error so had to create it with a team I'm managing instead, it is not accurate.
