I know you guys see lots of "help me pick my team" threads so I hope you will bear with one more.

I want to play in the English leagues and I know the consensus is the best challenge is to take a lower league team and try to get them to the premiership.

I currently play with Brentford but I chose them randomly and knowing next to nothing about those leagues (I am in the US and we only get EPL game on TV), I'd like to see if there are others you'd recommend playing with. All I ask is that they be in London or somewhere that is close via train (maybe an hour or less away).

The reason is that I will be in London in March-April of next year and would actually like to go see the team that I play with in football manager.

So if possible, I would love a suggestion on a team to play with that is fun in game (good team, decent budget, etc) and one that would be worth seeing in real life as well (maybe has a good stadium, in an interesting area, has a good fanbase, etc) and why you think so. And, if you think that Brentford is the best choice, that would be fine too.

Thanks in advance.
Tommo.

If you're willing to head out of League One/League Two and into the Conference then you could watch Barnet.

This way you would get to see Edgar Davids

Cambridge United in the Skrill are a good shout, they've been down there far too long now.

I think I am going to give them a go. I know some don't like them because they don't have a compelling history but since I can't watch anything but highlights of L1 games, all the teams are pretty much the same. I will try them for a few seasons and if they are too easy, I may try to go lower. I like being in L1 because you can still get free agents and staff to come to your team and you have a transfer budget (even if it is only 50K or so). Thanks for the suggestions!
