You still fall under the 1-7/10 Manager Prestige but I'd suggest something a little different in this case.
We can't "fake" our skill and we can't fake winning or losing.

So instead of "fake" offering a plan to the club: e.g., Promotion in ___ years, Europe in ___ years, offer to keep the team core National. Play the 5-6 rule or even make it the 6/5 rule.
To make this a bit easier to decide on who to buy, pick a country, close in relation, for secondary player imports. For Spain: Portugal/Brazil may be an option. A second option would be the nationality of your Manager if intended to be the same as yours.
Many Managers bring in players of their home country: Mourinho brought in a handful of Portuguese players, Wegner/French players, Rafa/Spanish.
I do this often with American players.

If you can gain promotion while playing the 5/6 or 6/5 rule, and make it into Europe with it too, then you might feel some satisfaction instead of saying "I will win promotion" or "I will win the domestic Cup." Of course you will or why would we be playing Fifa?

The only porposefull negative thing i'd suggest is for every foreign player bought combined with the selling of a national player, pick an answer to a question that you know will have a negative affect on Fan support. Just to balance it out. Let the wins make them happy.

So we were thinking of applying a plan that explains on which teams we can move to at the end of each season, e.g. We start our career, therefore having Manager Prestige of 1/10,from a half star team and can not move to Man Utd or AC Milan if we havent reached Manager Prestige of 10/10. So on with the Question... Do you have any proposals or ideas on that matter? What do you think is the best way in your opinion to make some "fake" offers from other clubs at the end of each season? i.o. what do you do when playing?
Well, here's what i did, actually before i came up with these rules.

Over the course of a few seasons playing as HSV, I looked at a bunch of teams (4 1/2-5 star) to see which ones weren't doing well in Europe (ECC) and which ones had a low number of players and a lot of aging players at that.

Real Madrid and Milan will win this every time but you could find many other teams too, maybe under 5 stars.

My goal was to bring in the young players and bring my tactics to their club.
You could do something a bit different and play to what they have at first.

Real Madrid had just 1 CB when i took over so i played with only 3 back. The result was some high octane offense.

I got them the players and the Silverware and left after 3 seasons. An aging Milan was next on my plate.

As the Italian season normally starts after the transfer window is closed i only had 1 game to buy players. They needed everything. I got decent GK and some back up Mids. Playing with such a thin squad and an underpreforming, old Kaka, i struggled until January. The introduction of Nasri was all the team needed. I switched to a 1 ST formation and everything went through Nasri.


One main thing to do, or not do, is on;y upgrade your fitness to 6 or no more than 7. You want to be forced into playing the subs even though players can play well when they're in the yellow.

Hope i could help!
