Ramblings of an Englishman

With a total of 12 seasons over 2 games I have held interest and record of 109 regens from 48 different nations it is fair to say I hold a vested interest in a large amount of time an effort into developing regens even if they do not end up making a first team appearance for me and I end up sending them out on loan I always make sure to track their developments. Having a developed plan for regen development allows for long term growth and success and that is what us seen in my teams. Since the end of my time with Football Manager 2020 I have been detailing my regens and which one's top my preference for a best 11 over both of these teams. As ever this team will follow the 4-2-3-1 formation I use for all teams. For this I have considered the regens of both Chelsea and Dagenham saves as well as the smaller saves using both the American and Norwegian international teams.

I’ve been spending a lot of my time playing Football Manager 2020 recently. After skipping out on the previous iteration this version has bought back my love for the game. I have been playing as Chelsea currently entering my seventh season and while I have all the big names I wanted throughout the years like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé as well as players who are currently at Chelsea being mainstays in my team like Mason Mount and Reece James (my captain and vice-captain respectively) the main reason I go back are for the host of regens in the game.
