That's odd. I played Portsmouth for 2 seasons and won back to back titles and went from 4th division to 2nd division. And the 1st year I barely signed anyone as the team was already fairly strong for Sky Bet League Two.

Hey I have a very similar laptop and FM runs fine. It does take some time on the last day of transfer windows etc but its honestly not too bad.

I've never experienced a board randomly paying for a staff member's coaching without me requesting it, that is strange. I don't think you can stop it though since the board is above the manager. Is there any request you can make to the board regarding staff? Not sure honestly. Usually my...

Will check on this tonight but you are not forced to actually read it you know :P. Just click it and click on the next mail immediately afterward

I see some of your problem hear. You are asking 2 players to play as inside forwards but you are asking them to tactically play fairly wide. That is extremely contradictory instructions. You need to look at all your tactics and see what you are doing that may be causing your team to...

Hey man, Make sure your players mentality matches your tactics mentality. Put more players on attack, including your full backs or wing backs, your AM and your strikers, even a CM or both. If your team is better at passing, Use shorter or mixed passing, if better at dribbling, run @ defense...

Great thread Hey man, Awesome thread! I am currently playing with Jonkopings Sodra, I joined them in my 2nd year and have been here for 4 years now. I really like managing in Sweden and you are so right, European football is vital to improve the club. I have been pumping European money into...

I think this is by design and a good design. Simply put, in real life, even if you have decent scouts, lower league teams can't really afford to spend lots of resources on scouting, so your scouts can't travel to a lot of games, or there isn't much recording of the players playing etc. It is...

Play-Off Pens Oh man am I salty. Started a new save, rock bottom, unemployed. Sterling Albion (Scottish 4th division) offered me job with the aim to reach promotion play-offs. Finished 3rd - expectation met. During the campaign I had 2 cup matches go to penalties against 3rd and 2nd division...

Hi Guys, So for the 2nd session in a row I have rejected the invite for U23 fixtures, but accepted the invite for U18 fixtures. However, this year again, there are no under 18 fixtures in my calendar. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. After rejecting the U23 invite the club (Portsmouth in...

Thanks FreakDJ, I guess I will try it and see what happens. I am inclined to believe you are correct though. Its the logical answer.

Hi All, I have a question regarding the sale of a player w.r.t sell on percentage fees in the player contract. Scenario 1 Let's say I offer PlayerX to clubs for a fee 10 million (the currency doesn't matter). PlayerX's contract stipulates he will receive 10% of the transfer fee. The result...

Phew! This post really helped, thanks! I am new to FM and after gaining promotion with Portsmouth from League Two I started buying players and the star ratings of my current players started to drop by half or one star. I guess now that means my signings are somewhat decent.

This is epic! I got to work, opened your story, and 1.5 hours later I am in love with Parma! Great story telling and a superb job! I am new to the franchise having purchased FM 2017 beta. I started with my favourite club, Liverpool, just to try to learn some of the game and its features. After...
