So, another Be A Pro story? I hear you ask. Well hear me out. From the ones that I've seen and followed so far, they seem to be 'fixed'. By this I mean you give the information for your personalised pro and then you sit back and watch how it all pans out. I hope to provide a more 'interactive'...

I'm currently managing Liverpool in the 2014/15 season, and I tend to have problems playing against teams (marginally) bigger than me (Man U, Man C, Arsenal, Chelsea). I play a 4-5-1 that is accurately described as 4-1-2-2-1. What tends to happen is that my central midfield is so solid that the...

Has anyone else noticed recently (it might be with a new patch, i've been playing on the offline version of Steam for a while) that players attributes are dropping massively, as in almost every single one going down. This happens to about 2 players every month. On the flip side, i've got about 1...

Yup, Ronaldo won it. Every single save i've had, Messi has won the world player of the year in the first season. This time, on my Barcelona save, Ronaldo won with Messi 2nd. Stats for this season are Messi 26 games, 28 goals, 12 assists, 8.21 average rating Ronaldo 24 games, 27 goals, 9...

You've heard about it in real life, but have you ever attempted it or done it in FM? The only example I have of doing it is in '11 with my 100-goal-a-season striker. I had 2 wingers to counter attack and stretch the opposition, while I had a playmaker behind him to create chance after chance...

Trying to do a network game with a friend. Set it all up and everything, when he puts in my IP address, it doesn't work. Now the IP address is in the format xx.***.xx.*** / xx.***.xx.*** i've done both on their own, with the space either side of the / or without a space, and he still cannot...

Does anyone know why this happens and if theres a way to turn it off? Its really, really bugging me cause I minimise a lot during games. Specifically if I've conceded or the games pretty much over. On a few very rare occasions it doesn't, but mostly the game pauses while its minimised. Can...

In light of Liverpool playing Rangers in a friendly last night, obviously to give fringe players a game, it got me wondering about doing the same to youth players. Myself being a Liverpool fan and no doubt going to be playing as Liverpool, we have a lot of good prospects in the demo and I'm...

I've had serious concerns about this for some time. The rate at which pace goes up and down is, I feel, quite unrealistic. I would put pace in the same category as penalties, free kicks and corners. These stats don't seem to fluctuate much as its down to natural ability. Some players are fast...

I've done the typical take-a-league-2-team-to-the-Premiership challenge. I've now won the Premiership for the 6th consecutive time and am in desperate need of a new stadium to help increase income. My current stadium only holds 34,000 and I could do with one at least twice as large. My bank...

I'm trying to find different ways of raising the profits of my club. I've brought them up from the lower leagues to winning the Prem 5 times in a row. Despite this, my balance is only £30million which means I can't go on a big spending spree (as I need to spend a lot because my best players are...

...all by one player. For those of you thinking of showing me in the direction of the 'Post your successes' or 'Show off your regen' threads, wait a second. The point isn't to show off how lucky I was to find this guy, but to ask if anyone else has ever had a forward score 100 goals in one...

Just had a very bizzare moment on my Football Manager game, i've heard no mention of it before and wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing. Put simply, money seems to have inflated by a factor of around 3. I'm in late 2026, at the start of the season I negotiated some new contracts...

I'd like to say I stumbled across this out of a moment of thinking outside the box, or it being the result of one of many attempts at recreating Barcelonas formation. In reality, this was a result of me being a complete twonk and failing to replace my 3rd choice striker. I'm managing...

So i'm in the 2018/2019 season with Accrington Stanley, in my 2nd season in the Premiership. Currently struggling so as we enter January I decide to go on the lookout for a new midfielder cause mine don't seem to be up for it. I see a 23 year old from Lyon for sale, he seems to fit the bill...
