A lot of you may be unaware of a whole different style of Football Manager - It's called LLM (Lower League Management). This is a quick guide into LLM and it's rules. Why would you care what LLM is? Well for those of you tired of winning everything with Chelsea 5 years in a row? For those who wants to manage like a real unknown "new" manager.
Tired of winning everything with Chelsea 5 years in a row? Do you think that the game is too easy? For those who wants to manage like a real unknown "new" manager, there's something called LLM, or Low League Management. This guide explains what its all about. I can manage Watford, right? Right? Firstly, to be a real LLM-er, you can't start managing a top club, or a club in the top divisions. Actually, you have to start in the lowest division in the country you want to be playing in, that means that you have to start in either Conference North or South if your country is England, and if you are going to play in Italy, that means that you have to start with a team in Serie C2. In countries with only one division, such as Wales, you have to pick a team that isn't too dominating (TNS would be considered as a "top club"). You can also start unemployed. But if I recieve a job offer from Watford, can I say yes to it? Only if you think that it could've happen in real life. If you are doing quite well (promotions, good cup results) , but wants to manage a club with more potential, you would still be playing LLM even if you applied for a job in the PL, if it's realistic, that is. But what's the point in this? There's a couple of reasons to do LLM. Some wants a really difficult challenge, some wants to just play a realistic save and experience ups and downs as the seasons go on. The main goal isn't to win as many trophies as possible. Finances are an important part of the LLM-career, and you should try to do well in both the league and in the budget. Can I ask for help? I'm near the relegation-zone  NO! No matter how shitty your career is, never ever ask for help. Therefore, if you plan on trying out LLM, just forget all about those weird players from weird countries for weird transfer sums. Don't use others tactics and training schedules, figure it out yourself. Also, exploit-tactics are not allowed. Players and Scouting Managers in real life can't simply use a search function to find players, so the LLMers can't do that either. The transfer list and scouts are the way to go. You should use masked stats, and you can only send scouts to realistic places (for example scouting in Oceania when you're playing a shit team in Wales is unrealistic). Sign players that you can afford, and sell players when you feel that they are a waste of money. There's no other restrictions in loaning players, but you should be able to afford the player's salary. What about data updates? Ask yourself: Would it be realistic to use the database you downloaded? If the answer is yes, use it. However, if you are unsure or think that it may prove an advantage to use the downloaded database, use the default one. No cheating! Using editors and third party programs to make things easier (and even more difficult) for you is strictly forbidden in LLM-communities. And we on CMFrenzy hate cheating also, so don't do it, escpecially if you're using it to set records or to "prove" your "great" managing skills. Besides, no-one, and I mean NO-ONE would believe that you managed to get Braintree into Premier League in just 5 seasons without cheating and/or breaking some of the main rules of LLM. It simply isn't possible. Why so many rules? There are many rules for LLM, to make the game realistic and fair. Simple as. Although some if these rules may be a bit hard to follow, you should try to follow them, especially if you're at a LLM-community. If you don't want to follow some of these rules, but want to manage a low-league team, you don't have to obey the rules. But to be a true "LLM-er" like described in this article, you sort of have to. But all in all, it's your game and your way that really matters.
