Player management is bugged this year.

I tried this. In FM 12 or 13 I downloaded an expanded German league and picked Dynamo Berlin. I always found it curious how Berlin, one of the biggest cities in Europe, don't have a major team. So I thought, with such a large population a consistently successful side would become one of the...

In my experience there is no substitute for real games, which is why I will always send them out on loan after they reach 16 or 17. So long as the club has good facilities they will make progress. But before then I make sure they are tutored and that they are set on the right path. If you are...

No fines, unless it's for violent conduct or missing training. Handle popular players with kid gloves - think twice about interacting with them and if you feel you have to, save the game. If you want to praise them, praise them after the game.

Dundee United won it on my save in the year 2022. Rangers got promoted then got relegated again and are still in the championship. Kilmarnock play in league one and hibs have one of the best I've ever seen... but I find on this save that leagues are all over the place. Arsenal are a mess...

Personally I enjoy going to leagues I know very little about. I love the German lower divisions and the Belgium leagues. I hardly know the names of half these teams... particularly this year, and not many of the players. But I always seem to have fun taking a crappy no name to glory before...

Well I got a hot prospect from Portugal, he will be a top player but right now he isn't, but he has a good mentality and is fairly professional. Anyway, still early in the season and I have a few injuries up front so I put him on the bench for a few games and he started the last game because of...

How do you get custom players into the database?

In my European adventures with some teams playing in smaller leagues - e.g. Ajax, Celtic, Standard Liege etc. I've noticed that my teams seem to struggle against sides from some of the bigger leagues, particularly the EPL. It doesn't seem to matter if I am playing a Cardiff side during their...

I haven't moved stadiums for a while but remember a new stadium costing me around 150million for a 60,000 seater. Having read that the costs of Liverpools (now unlikely) plans to move stadium would cost something like 300million or expanding anfield would cost something like 50 million I've been...

How likely a player will sign for you depends on a number of factors. How ambitious and loyal he is, how much he likes the club he is with, the reputation of the league and club he is with in comparison with yours and your reputation as a manager. If you praise him and he responds in a positive...

A) When an attacker tends to move into the wings and you don't have a def midfielder to fill the gap.

It's also very time consuming to do. I once spent two days just doing pre-seasons and arranging friendlies and sorting out contracts, training and loans and stafffing levels. Although you can make some money from it, the players in the reserve side reputations don't really grow therefore their...

**** right about that. I created a great St. Pauli team and I thought "I want to see if I can beat them." I left for Dortmund and the new manager sold the best players to Arsenal, Barca, Madrid and Man U and bought ****. St. Pauli, football superpower to mediocre german side in two seasons...

Thats just... wrong.
