A comparison table for chairs. Prestige is a fog machine.

Club Picker

Use this picker before you click buy in FD 27: Direct Your Football Club. Version 0.1 is six divisions in two countries. Experience mode lets you acquire more freely. Campaign mode removes the purchase budget, so the menu shrinks immediately. Difficulty also gates names. The prose version is how to pick a club. The ranking is club picks. This page is the table you wanted.

Mode

ModePurchase budgetWhat it teaches
ExperienceYou can take a wider set of chairs within difficultyEgo is available. Hide mistakes if you pick a giant.
CampaignPurchase budget removedThe chair is already a constraint. Better classroom.

Neither mode writes vision for you. Club vision still decides whether January is a plan. Neither mode lets you sign outside the window. That path was patched shut.

Divisions in v0.1

DivisionCountryFirst-save rankWhy
League OneEnglandSWages hurt. Medical and shirt deals visible in one season.
Segunda DivisiónSpainSSister lesson to League One. Different fixture density and sponsors.
ChampionshipEnglandAStar tempting. Shirt plus museum can still kill you.
La LigaSpainASame middle. Vision stops being optional.
League TwoEnglandBHard classroom. Dynamic wage floors matter. Medical still first.
Premier LeagueEnglandCTelevision fog. You will think you are good at transfers when you are rich.

La Liga’s top chair sits with Premier League in spirit if you pick a giant. The table ranks divisions as classrooms, not as trophy cabinets. Spain versus England is not a flavour toggle. Pick the culture you want to reread.

After you confirm

Hire medical first. Staff hire order. Do not dump the shirt. How to get sponsors. Fund training before the museum. Facilities priority. Tick the first season checklist. If the machine is the bottleneck, system requirements.

If missing Italy or a European night is a deal-breaker, wait for the roadmap 0.2 sketch. If you want to learn the office, any S-tier row in this table is already a complete lesson in version 0.1. Buy the giant later, when you can name the physio that decided last February. This picker will not congratulate a Premier League first save. It will tell you the fog is on.

Print the table. Argue with it. Then sit where wages hurt. That is the only pick this tool will defend until 0.2 adds classrooms as clear as League One.

A note on badges: this table will not name a specific club as S-tier because v0.1 will move wages and reputation. The division is the classroom. The badge is decoration. If you need a name, pick the poorest side you still find interesting in League One or Segunda, then follow the staff hire order before you hunt a local hero. Campaign mode on that row is the tightest honest sandbox the current build offers. Experience mode on a giant is a trailer, not a tutorial. Come back after 0.2 if new leagues teach as clearly. Until then, print the table, sit where wages hurt, and let February mark the paper.

A note on giants and pride

A Premier League or big La Liga chair is not forbidden. It is a fog machine. You can sit there after you have already named last February’s physio, shirt and training ground on a smaller save. Campaign mode on a giant is still a giant. Experience mode on League Two is still a classroom. Difficulty gates names, it does not rewrite the lesson.

If you are one click from a famous badge, open how to manage finances and how to hire staff in another tab. If you cannot explain medical delay and shirt value, you are not ready for television money. Come back to this table after the demo hour. The demo versus full page is the cheapest way to find out whether you even want the owner job.

This picker will look different when 0.2 adds leagues. Until then, six rows are the whole menu. Sit where wages hurt. That sentence is the tool.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for the boardroom questions owners actually search.

Should I start in the Premier League?

Not for a first save. The C row is prestige, not a tutorial.

Does Campaign change the table?

It shrinks which chairs appear. The teaching order stays: wages that hurt beat television fog.

England or Spain?

Two pyramids, same office lesson. Pick the culture you want to reread.
