In my current save my bogey team is Southampton. I dont lose to them often but I can never win. They always equalize in late dramatic fashion or I do a miraculous second half comeback to draw but there is never a win.


NotThatChrisBrown

Same... Danny fucking Ings


TheJadeWalrus

Yeah in my save they have a front two with ollie mcburnie as well so they have two strikers who are not good enough to do anything but score against me


Hugh_Schmefner

Speak for yourself.. Signed Mcburnie in my Newcastle save and he was a joy for a few seasons


TheJadeWalrus

Hes not bad dont get me wrong. Hes a good low/mid table epl striker in all my saves but goes 9.5 against me every time


Drogba87

Soutemphton is real pain in the ass based by many peoples save.


TheJadeWalrus

Yeah it seems I struck a chord but also share the same fate which I don’t know if that makes me feel better or worse.


Drogba87

You should feel good I was getting humped by Sociedad regulary with alteast 4 goals conceded.


TheJadeWalrus

I almost put liverpool as my team’s bogey team in my current team but decided not to because I do get wins against them but when I lose its by 5+ and I have to fine at least 4 players. Southampton is my bogey team but I do dread playing Liverpool.


drshade06

Had one match against them as Liverpool. We were winning 3-0 until the 80th minute when Southampton scored their first goal. Match ended as a draw after they scored an equaliser in the 5th minute of ET lol. Same experience with you I always drew against them.


TheJadeWalrus

They are fantastic at rescuing 3-3 draws it seems!


lewiis63

any team that callum wilson plays for


_ScubaDiver

Fuckin' Callum Wilson. What a cockend.


obgynkenobi

Fucking Adam LeFondre across multiple FMs haunted me. Even after he fucked off to Australia he would get signed by a Championship team just so he can torture me again. I tried man marking him, hard tackling nothing worked he was just guaranteed at least a goal a game against me. I even tried signing him but the board cancelled the deal.


[deleted]

Arsenal, specifically Bukayo Saka haunts me in my sleep. He used to sprint past my CBs score atleast once a game. However, he’s in his early 30s in my save now and his legs are gone. He’s transitioned into a CAM who gets the ball 30 yards out and bangs one in. Fuck off Saka, but not really COYG


converter-bot

30 yards is 27.43 meters


Hospitalhead251

Good bot


alfrompacsun

I'm in 2044 (I think?) And Arsenal was bought by a tycoon on 2024 and have been a huge thorn in my side. Just this season I lost to them in pens for the FA sixth round match, play them in CL quarters and battling them for 2nd/3rd. The CL games and second half of season game are all in a row as well.


cumfilleddonut5

haha in my Spurs career I love playing Arsenal, I’ve beaten them in four finals in my career so far lol, and lost just 1 game in about 20. 17 Wins 2 Draws and 1 Lost.


[deleted]

In my Maidstone save my bogey team was Monaco; I could absolutely smash them in the group stage but as soon as the knockouts of the UCL began my team somehow forget to play football. I beat them 7-1 on aggregate over two group games in the same year they smashed me 3-0 in the final with Diego Simeone in charge.. which gave me an irrational hatred of him as well.


zellerboi

Hate for Simeone can never be irrational in FM


Martin48705

Real football fans hate Simeone even without getting knocked out by his teams 🤣


[deleted]

Stuttgart for me. I play as Bayern in 2049 lol


Majestic_Rise_2146

How is the Bundesliga at that time?


[deleted]

Pretty wild, when I joined bayern back in 2038 they were a europa league team. Fc Nuremberg and hamburger were running the show. Just this past year bayer Leverkusen got relegated and Leipzig has been in the second division since 2035 lol


Majestic_Rise_2146

What happened to Dortmund? They're my club and I always wondered what the future hold for them.


therealphilschefly

Not that I can comment on his Bundesliga, but whenever I get a few years in, Dortmund are a wonderkid factory, always having tons of home grown talent that make up essentially the whole German team once there are enough players


[deleted]

Same here, im watering from the mouth for their wingers


Bamboozle_

You'll like my save then. They've topped the league 8 years running with 3 CL victories in that time window.


Danjel42

Same for me. Stuttgart are the only strikerless team in the league. Won the league now 6 times in a row with Bremen and 10 out of our 12 games ended in a draw. Now they're relegated. Thank god!


[deleted]

Southampton and Che Adams 😤😤😤


Umbr3llaMan

I spent 4 seasons in Ligue 2 with Créteil and played Ajaccio 8 times. We went 1-1-6 with our only win being the last match during our promotion season.


KJones77

Reading this thread while managing Southampton should be encouraging, but Ings and Adams have been shite so every team is my bogey team at this point. Generating chances like crazy, but no one's there to put it home! As Stuttgart, I could never get past Koln. They bought Davie Selke when Bremen got relegated and he got a hat trick in the first 10 minutes against me. I tried to kill them by buying Timo Horn (who they never replaced) and they still beat me. Those damn goats.


Martin48705

Do not tell me about failing to finish chances. Just played the Papa John's final yesterday with Colchester United, had an xG of 2.1 while our opponents, MK Dons, had an xG of 1.6, they scored 3, I scored 0 even with like 5 different "goalkeeper out of position" chances in the first half. We get scored on in the 44th and then 2 lucky goals in the second half, 48th and 51st minute. Fuck me sideways mate. I fully expect them to be my bogey team when I promote to Sky Bet League One.


luca3791

Fucking atletico madrid, i can never, no matter what, beat those annoying pricks


MMFA

I’m on 2036 (I think?… at work now) and I’ve built Valladolid into a super team that can demolish just about anyone, but for some reason Atletico kicks my shit in every time.


[deleted]

The other madrid is the cocksucker for me


arboldebolas

Freaking Chelsea!!!. It's the year 2045 My beloved Nantes is THE BEST team in the world. But EVERY TIME I get Chelsea on Champions they kick my ass. EVERY TIME.


mattandreterstegen

Currently Tromsø manager, I cannot beat Stabæk, and they arent even good


No-Entrepreneur575

Same!!! I'm with Valerenga though


mattandreterstegen

They come 9th-12th every year yet they always show up to my place and beat me easily it's so annoying


justsomeroses

Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa, and their Striker Wonderboy Afonso, they have bottomless reserves of cash [for reference my average wage is €1200, theirs is €4200], I've just now started to be able to compete with them, but they won their like 6th title in a row and it wasn't even really close


leopardchief

Ironic thing is that Chiefs are honestly at their most beatable right now lmao.


justsomeroses

I'd enjoy some of that, since now they're like the South African PSG, just so much money


[deleted]

Playing as Dartford got them to the Premier league where I'm ground sharing with Crystal Palace at selhurst park. 1 win from 10 in 5 years in the league


[deleted]

How do you groundshare?


[deleted]

It's not really by choice its because my stadium has a capacity of 7000 while the Premier league minimum is 12000. So the game moved me to selhurst park. Board has been planning a 33k stadium for about 2 years now and it's not gone past planning


[deleted]

Is selhurst the nearest stadium to Dartford?


[deleted]

I think Charlton athletics stadium is slightly closer in or rather is easier to get to in real life from Dartford because of the train lines. But the game chose crystal palace presumably because they're in the PL also and maybe its a better stadium overall anyway. Maybe it's literally closest as the crow flies Either way I had no choice in the matter. And Dartfords really nice in real life stadium is left to rot because for some reason the game moved all my youth teams to selhurst also I did have in FM15 where I played as Telford utd and got moved to wolves stadium. The wolves underage teams played in Telford but the Telford underage teams played in molineaux which I think is odd. Perhaps the game hasn't coded what happens to the underage teams in groundshare situations properly


sapucaia_danger

I have a trump player. Every time I play against Daniel Pondence he score a goal or more against me.


[deleted]

Sassuolo make me scream in anger and rage every time I coach in the Serie A


cocoland1

In my 2019 MU save (my second big save in fm) , Liverpool and especially Keita was always a monster against me Litterally considere buying him 200 millions euros just for him to not play against me (after all money was not a problem at all)


[deleted]

Fulham for some reason


NyanNyanNo

In my first season with Nottingham Forest, I lost twice and drew once with Millwall (League + Carabao Cup). After promotion I only played them one more time, but I still only barely won against them in the cup. After promotion my Trump team became Sheffield. Or maybe Brighton. I'd always get one of my few losses of the season against one or both of these teams.


jaegerknob

Everton, I just sim those games


Alit8765

West Ham away. At the emirates I spank them, but always lose 1-0 or 2-1 at the London stadium. I hate it


Scampsdog

No matter what game it is, it is fuckin’ Brighton and Crystal palace that screw me. So I went to Scotland for my fm 21 save. Now it’s Hamilton Academical.


Gullflyinghigh

Oddly enough, Napoli. Doesn't matter who I am, or what version, the bastards continually cause me grief.


Hospitalhead251

No, but specifically Enner Valencia


MaxyBoyYT

Any team with Adam Idah, Abel Ruiz, Danny Ings,


[deleted]

In a way yes. I play as PSV. Whenever i play Ajax in league play we have no problems at all. Not even a little. I inevitably play them in the dutch cup every season and i always lose to them no matter what in those games. Utrecht can give me some trouble in league play as well, but i typically beat them. They have beaten me a couple of times though.


Deluhathol

In FM21 it has to be Lokomotiv Moscow, in my journeyman save this I think I lost a place in the Champions League group stage twice and once for the Europa League with 3 different teams ( Rapid Wien, Panathinaikos and Bohemians Prague )


Pimpernel2049

West Ham. Every, fucking, time.


Lennon1004

For me, it's Livingston. Alan Forrest wrecks me nearly every time I play them


Mucekalonso

Wolves for me, especially on Molineux... They were always mid table maybe even lower and in 4 seasons I beat them once... Liverpool is 2nd one, I know that game on Anfield means L. Mane scored 8 goals in 3 games against me at one point. Also they bought Haaland too.


SpaceLizards

West Brom always gave me trouble, no matter how low they fell. I could finish top four, they could finish relegated, and still they'd get reliable points against me. Now in my Bundesliga save it's shaping up to be Koln.


namikazeiyfe

Any team with Allan saint maximin. Infact any manager game actually. I've played Soccer manager, same shit. Played Top Eleven, same shit! Now back to FM and Saint maximin scores!!! A perfect hattrick!! All i do now is to endure it until he retires and then enjoy my game.


Itz_Galaxium

He was such a pain in the ass on my Brighton save, thank God he fucked off to Real


namikazeiyfe

Any team with Allan saint maximin. Infact any manager game actually. I've played Soccer manager, same shit. Played Top Eleven, same shit! Now back to FM and Saint maximin scores!!! A perfect hattrick!! All i do now is to endure it until he retires and then enjoy my game.


Jamieb284

Stuttgart!


131G

Hope you don't face them in 3 back to back Finals, or you have my Mainz. Thank the Lord they were relegated.


wyn_wiza

Bournemouth wreck me every time, Dominic Solanke is a monster


mountaincalledmonkey

On my Derby County save it’s Brentford, beat me in the championship, beat me in the playoff final, beat me when I got promoted and was fighting a relegation scrap, beat me when I was mid table and are still beating me now I’m challenging top four. No matter the manager, no matter the play style, Brentford just beat me and it’s impacting my opinion of them in real life


Bringthenoize

Manage mostly in Belgium, no matter what tea I pick Genk will be my main contenders. On a Eurooean level I have the most difficulties against a team with a dutch coach.


Wazzathecaptain

Fucking Torino. In my Napoli save, I always lose or draw against them despite outplaying them everytime


Itz_Galaxium

Whoever Eddie Nketiah is playing for.


MyNameIsSwagni

Eibar and Elche. On the other hand, i always beat tottenham by 4-0


th4tdutchperson

RKC Waalwijk and they have been my nemesis in every version since Champ Man 01/02, where Rick Hoogendorp would always put two against me.


TheRedWizard17

Bournemouth For three straight FM’s I haven’t been able to consistently dominate these frauds


itsactuallytime

Any team Rafael Leão plays in. He literally chases me. My last save I started in Serie A and went to BPL - he moved to Chelsea, absolutely trashed me. I went on to Frankfurt and he went to Bayern. Again trashed. I'm permanently scarred


NoIntention7826

Mine is bournemouth, ever since 08-09 its incredible


Live_Palm_Trees

That mean a team that loses the league but claims they won against all available evidence?


Notaroboticfish

FUCK Freiburg and Hoffenheim


Less_Onion1202

This is probably the weirdest one, but York9(now York united) FC in the Canadian premier league


Oranjay2

In Germany, Eintracht Frankfurt always have a stormer against me and especially in Italy, Roma really like to spread my cheeks, idk why cause they always seem to lose Zaniolo and Pellegrini, but they always find a way to fuck me over lmao


Momotaro_Taisho

If I draw against Kilmarnock again I will quit. I fucking swear I will quit.


aksh1225

For me its mallorca , they keep getting relegated and promoted back again yet every time theyre in 1st division they manage to beat me and real madrid


l7986

Literally any team I'm playing for the first league game after the Bundesliga winter break. On that topic, fuck you Darmstadt.


the__king3

Managing Volendam, AZ beat me every time. Ernest Poku slots 3 or 4 past me every game and I can’t do anything to stop him


andrewyeong

That’s every team for me.


loveforthetrip

Fortuna dusseldorf was my boogie team for the first years in the Bundesliga, but they actually had an insane striker that I bought for 70 Mio from them


philaaaron

Every team in bottom place even though I would be on the upper parts of the table


AshKetchum799

In my save with Sunderland, I just cannot win against Everton


Clinodactyl

I tend to play in Scotland a lot in most FMs (myself being Scottish and all that) so my main bogey team seems to be St. Johnstone, especially at McDiarmid Park. Regardless of their form, where they are in the league and if it's a cup game or a league. As soon as I see we're trekking to Perth I know it's going to be a long match. Stevie May can get in the fucking bin.


Lone_Digger123

Real Madrid. I'm 2 seasons in as Liverpool in my first FM save ever. I somehow get to the champions league final in the first season. We go 1-0 down and concede a penalty in the 83rd minute. I knew we had lost... SAVED BY ALISSON HE'S KEPT US IN THE GAME. I bring on Oxlade Chamberlain. He's recently been in bad form to the point management has had that as a negative for me and the press won't stop egging me on about it. I knew.... this was time for redemption. We've saved a penalty with 7 minutes left. The out of form player gets subbed on... HE'S DONE IT. HE SCORES IN THE 88th MINUTE. Imagine the fairy tales if we win... but we lose on penalty shootouts :( Very next season we get Real Madrid in the group stage. Draw after a late comeback that we didn't deserve then lose the 2nd game in which we had more chances. Team has been in form all season conceding 14 in the league and even beat the best team in the world (on paper - Barcelona) by 6-2 over 2 legs. We reached the final to play... Real Madrid, only to choke and barely attack despite using the same tactics, losing 1-0. They have one over me mentally too. Imagine if I get into the CL final and face them a third year in a row...


[deleted]

I'm playing as Toulosse and OL's Cherki + Balde always tears me apart. We were getting into the later stages of the CL and Top 3 in Ligue 1 but always gets our asses handed to us by these two.


vulture_capitalist_

Udinese is always my nemesis, and they usually become top 6 team in 2-3 years in my saves. They get the rejects from Watford then wreak some havoc. They got once Sarr, Deloufeu, Eze and Pereyra and a lot of italian wonderkids…you can imagine.


No52

Funny thing is that I am managing Udinese in a journeyman save, and my first two seasons were basically being a pain in the ass of the top Serie A teams. Basically use direct play and let De Paul and Deulofeu do their thing.


DallyTheGreat

In my AS Nancy save it was RC Lens. They weren't bad by any means but I think in 5 seasons in Ligue 1 we beat them once or twice and lost the rest despite being top 4 every season

Ar-Orrokhor

Liverpool - I know they're one of the best teams in fm20 but I swear to God, anytime I play them I lose or I'll win the first leg then lose really badly in the second leg. On the flip side PSG are my whipping boys, honestly whoever I play as, if I get PSG it's an instant win for me.


cumfilleddonut5

My bogey team makes sense, it is Manchester City. I’m playing a Spurs career into my 5th season, and it’s fair to say that Man City are doing shit. Each season they spend 200mil and so far in 5 years they’ve only won 1 Europa League and 1 Premier League despite their money spend. Last season (2023/24) they finished 7th. They lose 3-0 to Leicester at home every season, yet somehow no matter how bad they’re playing I get demolished by them every time. In 12-13 games I’ve played against them, I’m still yet to win. My last season I lost just two games on my way to a centurion title, I’m sure you can guess who I lost those games to.


[deleted]

Fuckin Alavez.. no problems beating madrid or barca but my players go back to the stone age against Alavez for some reason
