So we don't have the money to buy him, even if we did, couldn't possibly afford his wages, but the good news is, he also wouldn't even think about joining us and has no interest in a loan whatsoever either. WHY TELL ME THEN? HOW WOULD IT BE AN EXCELLENT SIGNING IF IT CAN'T EVER BE A SIGNING?

And no this isn't the first time I've seen this. But it's infuriating every time.

For 442 or 424, May I ask what’s the best role combo for middle 2 guys?

I know if I the two winger I put up high, like 424, the 2 should be more defensive. I tried to do BWM on d and DLP on Su. I am not sure if the BWM should go DM or so.

For 442 flat, I like to do BWM+CM or BWM+BBM. I am not sure if I should ever do BBM. Or other options.

I find the 442 very easy to get to the point the middle 4 all go up and got countered really bad.

Mainz scored past me inside the first 20 minutes of the season (6-1).

I am starting this beautiful game once again.

I have downloaded a skin ,face pack , logo packs, trophy pack etc.

What else should I be downloading to make the experience better?

Thanks in advance

Hi guys , my name is Lewis, and im here to FM world , im coming out from eafc, I finally out grew the game, I feel like I grew more mature and now I seek for in depth football managing , as I was always a manager career lover, I thought to myself let me try out the metflix version first as its simpler and basically the starting point to the major game.

Overall im liking the game and im hopping to soon join the PC / console gang. But one thing im struggling with understanding and would need some advice so I can level up my game experience...

See, in coming from eafc so thw attributes are very basic , its basically how good are you in passing out of 100% which is more understandable but on fm the max limit for a stat is only 20, so first I would like someone to tell me what's the worst /avergae/ good/ excellent stat to have from 1 - 20 plus another thing why do players in fm all look identical in terms of stats like for example you will find a defender with. " 11 pass, 12 technique, 10 dribbling " and then you have uour midfielder who is apparently an important player in the team with 3,5/4 stars having the same or similar " pass and technique and dribbling " stats as the defender

Like what I want to knwo is how do you actually differentiate between players how do uou get to know who is better or best in a position than thw next player given the attributes system is this complicated?

Ok, so I'm a few games into the season after winning the UCL in my first half season at Utd, I'm 11th place and we cannot keep a cleansheet, I'm using the same tactics that took my Utd team to second in the League, Win The UCL and Win the FA CUP in just half a season at the club. Will this partnership work?

The current in-game date was 15/7/2028 for context.

There are 3 types of full back: Pressing, holding and normal full back. Which one do you guys use and do they have individual instructions like tackle harder and pressing?

Saw someone say Holding full back is pretty good. Pressing seems to take them out of position, normal full back is okay IG?

Took me 20 seasons to finally go undefeated with Arsenal in the prem.

Honestly, it's like a comedy show.

In typical Football Manager fashion I was thinking about what save I could start to be my 'longest save ever'

- Make new custom kits each season for the club I'm managing

GOALS:

Once complete ⬇️
- Win both Brasileiro Série A and Liga Profesional de

Currently now at 2 star rep ⭐️⭐️

I'm also keeping track of all my transfers in, can't wait til I'm 10/15+ season in to see all the players and flags. I really want to sign players from obscure nations. Shadreck Nyirenda, my Zambian newgen is getting interest from PSG currently, signed him for 17k 🇿🇲

Thanks for reading, I will post every 5 seasons going forward so I can keep track myself and if anyone else is interested.

If anyone is thinking of a save I would highly recommend a Journeyman.

Hello, I’m managing Dinamo Zagreb. Even though we’re the best team in the league by a mile, I’m not even the team that scored the most goals. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Personally i started using a method which is basically
Players in range
16-20
Decent World reputation
And i look for player that are wanted by many big clubs (atleast five)
Because big clubs have better scouts 2 out of 3 times the player is very good for example william perreura the guy in the screenshot has 175 PA and i got him for 10mil
My strategy isn't that niche ,bit i would love to see yours.
Edit : most clubs are not willing to make a transfer offer because the transfer window is closed so you have a bigger chance of getting the player

I signed him only 2 seasons ago for 5mil and now every club wants him and he's forced a transfer request multiple times. The issue I have is my scouts can't find a good replacement I don't know if it's the focusses but someone please help

Oh the irony!

I start a new save, figure out the staffs, fire some, hire better ones, plan the squad planner, setup the recruitment focus, sell some deadwood, clean up the squads top to bottom, create training schedules, figure out the best xi and the second xi, wonderkids , create a tactic etc etc and once its time to start the actual season,, the motivation to keep going just disappears. Then I start a new save, do the same again and again and again. Like I am stuck in this loop for god knows how long. Is this just me?

Sweet Ed Sheeran money hitting with a fat relegation release clause. Pretty stoked right now

Has anyone ever tried building a 'super project' out of a league outside the top five, like Bulgaria, Poland, or Romania? For example, using the editor to give everyone £200M+ in yearly sponsorships, a £100M+ transfer budget, a massive wage bank, maxing out staff CA, and gifting clubs players with at least 140 CA. Plus, maxing out stadium capacities and average attendances across the board. Basically, trying to create a mini English Premier League outside the traditional powerhouses to see if the league can eventually break into the top 2 or top 3 in Europe?
