Hi, I'm managing as my local side Guiseley in the Conference North and I'm doing the Youth academy challenge using only players that come through my youth intake. 1) I've moved the few youth players into my 1st team, made them available for U18 games, so they are training and in the mentoring...

I signed a average ability with a good ability Argie but after 2 goes of applying for a work permit it keeps rejecting saying he hasn't played for his country but no one will loan him or transfer (for a quick buck) from me. I've only got on top flight Northern Ireland team as a feeder with the...

Does anyone find it difficult to blood promising players into their 1st team because their current ability star or stats are way too low to be trusted e.g. getting Brighton promoted and trying to player 2 star youngsters while trying to avoid relegation? I usually go with English players...

For my first season with Brighton & Hove Albion I move all my U18 players to the U21, then I select any player is 18 or under and make them available for U18 fixtures. I thought that it will allow the players with greater potential to get more game time and rotation if for example many U21...

Just got a few questions about my FM14 Halifax save 1) Choose Millwall as my parent club which gave me some money but none of their loan players will come. Does having a parent club mean my youth network suffers because they will be picking the gems from my local area? 2) I want to play...

Without editing the game or adding lower level leagues that sometimes glitch. If I sent loads of loan players to a unplayable feeder team does that help them get promoted up to the playable league. If I can give them more money will they improve their facilities and produce better youngsters I...

When I started my Dartford save in BSS I employed free agent players with good coaching staffs on non contracts so they got paid on apperances and goals of which they got nothing because I never played them. After back-to-back promotions we're just about to start are 1st season as full time...

I know the importance of improving the facilities and youth network but I've not sure what the benefit of improving the junior coaching is and what it does?

Team: Dartford, 3rd season. In the 2nd season after promotion to BSP the board stopped upgrading my training and youth facilities (very annoying as I had to build my cash up over half the season to start from scratch!) so they could turn some of the standing up terraces into seating area...

Hi I am struggling with my Sheffield Wednesday game because I took over when they were 7th and now a yoyo results have put me in 12th in March with little hope of reaching L1 playoffs. When I started with Halifax in BQN I did build a good youthful team and used a simple 442 control, short pass...

For a laugh I took the Crystal Palace job and being a Brighton fan I wanted to cause some damage so put the max wage budget and I renewed everyones contracts including the youth team on 6k,7k,8k over 5/6years length with massive yearly/promotion wage increases and left them bottom of League 1...
