Bayer Leverkusen have been one of the best sides in Europe this season if not the absolute best. They are still undefeated across all competitions and are leading the Bundesliga table ahead of Bayern Munich.
Xabi Alonso's side have also won every Europa League game so far and look to be contenders for every trophy this season. Quite naturally, Bayer Leverkusen are one of the most interesting save ideas in Football Manager 2024.

In this article, we will take a look at why they are such an interesting save in Football Manager 2024.
Bayer Leverkusen have always been a team that has produced some amazing young talents over the years and FM24 is no exception. The German side have some wondeeful young talents like Wirtz, Tapsoba, Hincapie, Boniface among others. In the likes of Xhaka, Hofmanm and Grimaldo, they also have solid experience in their side and a nice mold for the younger players to lean onto. Managing such wonderful young talents towards success could be quite exciting.
Xabi Alonso looks like a brilliant manager in the making and his team has done really well since their switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation. If you look at their squad, it is also the best suited formation for them given the wealth of talent at centre back. Emulatiing Alonso's wonderful attacking tactics could be quite exciting and the attraction of using such a rarely used formation makes Bayer Leverkusen a great pick for the game.
To be fair, Bundesliga is probably the least competitive league in Europe with Bayern Munich enjoying a monopoly. Borussia Dortmund have somewhat challenged them but have not been to overthrow the Bavarians. Bayer Leverkusen might have a shot if they are managed right. Now, the question is can you overthrow the German juggernaut from the throne? It's certainly worth a try.
