The key as a beginner is to have fun while learning the different gameplay aspects, and there are some perfect choices for your first Manager Career save.

Top 10 beginner teams of EA FC 25 Manager Career

The following list has teams from different leagues to ensure that you have the freedom of choice. All these teams have decent squads, and large transfer budgets. But make sure to pay attention to the in-game difficulty, as failing to win with these teams will lead to you getting the sack.

TeamLeagueWhy you should pick
Manchester UnitedPremier LeagueThe red side of Manchester hasn’t seen a league title in over 10 years now. You inherit a decent squad with fair share of young talents, and a big transfer kitty to spend on new recruitments.
Real MadridLaLigaReal Madrid arguably has the most meta squad in the entire game. With world class talents in every position and a massive transfer budget, the only task is to win everything possible.
BarcelonaLaLigaReal Madrid’s domestic rivals aren’t that far behind, and the Catalan giants have a promising squad as well. Replacing some of the older talents won’t be any issue, thanks to a big transfer budget and talented academy.
PSGLigue 1The Parisienne giants may no longer have Kylian Mbappe on their books, but the squad is more than good enough to dominate Ligue 1. Make sure to spend the transfer budget wisely to challenge for European glories.
Manchester CityPremier LeagueNobody knows what happens Manchester City next year once the 115 charges against them are heard in court. This year, they’re certainly among the strongest squads to experience in Manager Career.
Bayern MunichBundesligaThe Bavarian giants have reinforced in summer, and it’s time to grab the Bundesliga title back from Baye Leverkusen
Borussia DortmundBundesligaA fun-filled save for those who love to play with younger prospects. There’s also the additional goal of knocking Bayern Munich from being the top dogs of Germany.
LiverpoolPremier LeagueAnother English great who has an amazing squad, and wealth of riches when it comes to transfer budget. Can you become the next Juergen Klopp
JuventusSerie AJuventus’ long-term dominance in Italy is over. The squad also requires some refreshments. With a decent transfer budget, you shouldn’t have much of a difficult time.
AC Milan (Milano Red)Serie ABoth Inter and AC Milan can be amazing beginner saves in Manager Career. In reality, AC Milan is struggling, while inter are flying high. As a manager, you could be the one to bring AC Milan back to where they belonged once.

Starting with a decent squad will help you to win matches, which is essential when you’re managing a big club. I would personally try to spend the transfer budget on talented wonderkids. Most of these clubs have promising players who are part of the starting eleven.

This will allow you to develop the promising talents, and build your own ‘galacticos’ for the future and continue your dominance on other teams in the league.
