For me, it's Christmas 2020, and I have had a tough run-in to Christmas.
Ever since we lost to Man U in extra time, we have struggled.
Only lost 1 match in the league, but a ridiculous number of draws took us briefly out of the top spot, but now back at the top for the time being.
It's been...
Long term or short term? Long term the lower leagues can be rewarding.
Shortish term, can always start off with a poor Championship side (Barnsley) and try and win the CL within 3 seasons. I am sure you can do it! ;)
I normally just start off as unemployed when I have a long term save, and see...
No glorious/stunning QF result for us here, however, I was pleased about many things.
CCC. We created 3 against Man U (and their side was not all that weak, although not their strongest 11 I am sure) and they didn't create any.
I wouldn't say we were the best side, although I don't think we...
I can understand the logic of 'beat offside trap', but it is quite possibly my least favourite PPM out there.
So many chances/goals are wasted when I have had players with that PPM. It frustrates me so much!
Tries killer balls is personally my favourite with this tactic, it's my number 1 go to...
Actually I have Veez, it's called the toss of a coin ;)
I use contain/highly structured rarely. There's no set personal rule I use, but generally it's for tough matches where i would be satisfied with a draw - generally away from home, but would use it in a tough cup match against a far...
Thanks for the tip, I never knew that!
Alt and F9 didn't work for me, but FN + ALT + F9 (running out of fingers here, Toshiba!) does work.
Previously i just went old school. Pasted into paint, trimmed the photo as I needed it, then uploaded it on here.
The cup run unfortunately didn't end so well.
Lost in the Checkatrade final to Crewe on penalties.
Then in the FA Cup Final I lost to Man U in extra time - the ref was a Man U fan yet again!
Not that I am bitter...
So no cup trophies, did get promoted comfortably though, and the cup runs...
Southampton - they beat me in the EFL Cup, but feel like i know the players a lot better now.
Now have to consider whether to use the contain/highly structured tweak again or whether it was a one-match fluke. Decisions, decisions, decisions!
One random problem I am having, Veez, is this:
My...
Honestly Veez, it's a bit ridiculous, but a lot of fun!
How's this for a result?
Match was played on contain/highly structured - no other changes. I was actually aiming (read: hopelessly hoping) for a boring goalless draw to bring back to a home tie, and hopefully some more TV money to finally...
After being predicted to finish 24th in SkyBet League Two, we get promoted with 10 games to go!
Managed to beat Arsenal (U23s) away from home in Checkatrade Semi, which takes us to Wembley again.
A terrific win at home to West Ham in the FA Cup 5th round has been critical for us. Not only did...
Now that the tax returns are finally done, I can get back to playing some more FM!
No major updates since last, however after playing around with the mentalities over the last month or so, I definitely feel counter suits my side the best (and maybe other lower league sides?).
As the side is...
I have used the Anchor Man 100% since you suggested it last week (?).
I found it was a big upgrade straight away.
I generally use standard for home matches (counter for tough home matches, ie cup matches), counter for away matches. I am predicted to finish 24th out of 24, so I don't feel there...
