What Eredivisie is like to manage in
At an average age of 23.8, this is the third youngest squad pool in the game — a league where the rebuild is already half done for you. Strongest to weakest spans 13.1 rating points. Overachieving is possible here; it just costs you a good transfer window. With 194 players aged 21 or under who still have real growth in them, it is one of the better divisions in the game to buy young and sell high.
The board sets a finishing position, and the rest is yours: tactics, selection, the transfer window, contracts, the academy and the cups. Miss the target badly enough and you are sacked. Your save lives in your own browser, with nothing to install and nobody to sign up to.
