Seriously, there is no point playing the game. Morale has been given so much importance in the ME that you can win any game when on a hot streak and do whatever you want lose against the worst of the teams when you are in a slump.
It just goes...
I am trying to create a new club and not putting in any players. The players are randomly generated so its kind of fun. However, my payroll is always very low and most players have high potential but very low CA. how can I change the payroll or the quality of the youth generated ?
After struggling with tactics for a few years on my save and getting beaten numerous times after I have scored first, I just had my ah-ha moment.
The tactical experts here know this but I only just realized that the AI managers are continuously adjusting tactics during the match even going...
Please help !!! I am in a pickle. I am playing my usual long term save with Crewe with the following conditions - home grown players from Crewe's youth academy only (preferably no transfers).
Now in 2022 i'm finally in premier league but my defenders are poor and mostly championship...
I am enjoying this challenge. Initially, I thought this would be impossible because you never earn enough money like in the San marino challenge and my request to upgrade got rejected every year.
But interestingly, i have had good attacking players come through the youth intake nonetheless and...
Prologue & Disclaimer: I will say right now that this is a direct adaptation from the San marino challenge. Even the words here are a direct lift from the San Marino challenge (thanks kandersson). I wanted a new challenge after being a fan of san marino but wanted one which was equal in...

"...Transfers IN
DC 23 Anderson Martins 4* 4.5* - When Martins soccer agent brought him to my attention and the scout's report came back a high potential player for cheap, I jumped at it. He has the pace which is sorely needed as most of the current...
Manager Prince has privately confided that the Zaragoza squad is absolutely a mess, its no wonder that the financials are in disarray. All the players in blue are on loan !! Most of the other players are old and on the last leg. Prince also confided that his first target is hence to get a good...

Please follow me while I do the story on two polar opposite teams.
One a solid team, fantastic squad, good facilities, expected mid-table in premier league but got Relegated
Yup - Blackburn.
The other team, close to financial bankruptcy, little hope of survival, cluster f* squad but survived...
Its funny because I was thinking about the same team. Its actually a lot easier with Blackburn. Its unbelievable that the bubble head 'kean' could get this team relegated.. i mean they have rochina, holiet, samba and yakubu for pete's sake.
But I think i still might manage that team to see how...
There are quite a few fantastic blogs on fm where folks describe tactics, stories etc. but very few if anything on effective squad management and effective finances.
Quote from fm managerial tactics bible TTF ".. A manager is generally successful due to a combination of four things: good...
Are you interested in doing all this ? (Gaming Log)
a) Develop a whole team (more than 11 players at a time, not just 1-2) of wonderkids/ regens from your youth team to world class players
b) Tight control on wages usually 30% below target.
c) Squad all set with world-class players for the...
Ok after doing match analysis on a few old matches, i realized i lost most matches our team was favourite to win because AI most probably used counter tactic. A lot of the goals were scored on the break with their pacey forwards outpacing my defenders.
The other type of goals i conceded were...
