    All British/Celtic League

    Hi folks, Wondering if anyone is working on a custom database comprising all of the UK & Ireland? I found one on Steam Workshops and subscribed but it refuses to download into my game, no idea what's going on there. Cheers if anyone is doing it!

    FM17 British/Irish League

    Apologies if this has been done already, but I was wondering if anyone has created a custom league comprising clubs from NI, ROI, England, Scotland and Wales into a tiered system based on reputation or similar? I really enjoy these leagues, loved one I found for FM16 (and got Cliftonville to...

    Player's "Favoured" Position??

    Hi all, I've signed Ross Barkley to Spurs and he's constantly complaining that I'm not playing him in his "favoured" position. I've alternated for runs of games between CM and AM with the Advanced Playmaker (attacking) role in both, which is his best role. But he's still complaining that he's...

    All British Isles league?

    Usually one of these pops up fairly quickly after a release but I haven't seen one yet. Has anyone or is anyone working on a league system comprising all the Irish (N&S), Scottish, Welsh and English teams? I'm pretty rubbish with the editor system so generally I just drop the teams I want to...

    Does a player being a fan of his team matter?

    As in the title - how much does it matter? In FM14 there were very few players who identified as Villa fans so it was hard to gauge, but players like Agbonlahor, Grealish and Dan Crowley (if you sign him back from Arsenal), are players I always gave preference to when I was Villa manager. Does...

    Managing Under 21 squad game - has anyone done it?

    Did a few searched but I can't find any reference to this, apologies if it's a repeat thread. Has anyone done a game where they exclusively managed their team's U21 squad or U18 squad or both? I'm wondering if it's even possible. My idea was to hire in a decent Director of Football and...

    Villa Takeover Differences

    With Villa up for sale in real life and in the latest update patch I thought I'd try to get as big a new chairman as I could and within 5 seasons see how far I got. First attempt - Got relegated from the Prem with the club still for sale, no money and fire sale of most players, bumping youth...

    When do you give up/move on

    Posted the following in another thread which raised a question I'd love to hear from other FM users about. "I've taken Kidderminster Harriers from the Skrill Premier to being an established PL club in 2027. On the way up I used almost exclusively home-grown players, instead asking the board to...

    Loyalty to a club - Class of 92 type scenario in FM

    Does it really mean anything in the games? I have a full team of home grown players who all list the club as their favourite and come from the local area. I made a rule early on not to buy in talent but to invest in youth coaches, facilities etc and to blood players young, which is easier in...

    Wage Limits on Contract Offers

    I'm Kidderminster Harriers in about my 7th season. I've taken the club from Conference Premier to League 1 and am fairly stable. I haven't signed any players, rather I've used the club's youth system and sold players strategically to reinvest in facilities and coaches etc. My plan is to have a...

    How to get FBs to close down and stop crosses?

    In my current game as Villa (LB-Bennett/Luna, RB-Lowton) I'm conceding a lot of goals from crosses. Watching the games opposing wingers consistently have too much time on the ball and defenders stand off. To counter this changed my own formation from a 4-1(dm)-2(cms)-2(wingers pushed up)-1 to a...

    Youth Team Building

    Hi, I got bored with the standard choose team make transfers style of play so I went into the editor to make a few changes. I dropped Villa to League 1 and got rid of their 'big name' players to leave me only with the youth team (which at the minute is pretty much the team being played which is...
