    Are you enjoying Football Manager 2020?

    It seems horribly broken, so I went back to the last version that wasn't too badly flawed, Fm17. Enjoying it much more simply due to wingers putting crosses in.

    successful corner set pieces

    Tried all the Keysi tactics, and none have achieved anything better than the default

    Post your frustration and rage

    I missed the WC final because of that stupid news feed system. Whoever came up with the idea to institute this travesty into the game should be kicked in the balls to prevent them from procreating.

    17.2 and 17.2.1 match engine difference?

    Nope. Structured/deep. It happened in the final quarter of the season too with almost no january signings. It's not the losses, as things got better after I changed my tactics away from, what in 17.2.0, had me in 3rd. I had no major injury issues, but the weird goals and OGs are still prevalent...

    17.2 and 17.2.1 match engine difference?

    My familiarities reset back to special needs turnips in summer level. I don't know what caused that, but that doesn't explain going from sane results to own goals and flukes galore just since the update. Four more games played, two high scoring draws with another three OGs among the net bulges...

    17.2 and 17.2.1 match engine difference?

    Lots of freak goals for and against. I've scored seven goals in eight games, five of them are own goals. several flukes and many CCCs missed. That's not just a tactical thing. I'm retooling my tactics anyway, but I love it when updates dry-hump a decent save.

    Scottish teams to join EFL?

    Pre-game editors can do it, but the game itself will not. Since the editor became slightly more complex than brain surgery a few years ago, I've stopped bothering creating my custom celtic nations league and moving the Old Firm to England.

    What's the smallest team you've won the CL with?

    In FM16 I won on different saves with both Hull and Nantes. My biggest achievement though was a EL win with Spartans after I took them over once they promoted from the Lowland League. It only took me 20 years.

    Why is it so difficult to make a solid 4-2-3-1???

    I've had no trouble scoring goals with a 4231, but it's conceding them that's been the issue. One season in Scotland I scored 93 goals, but conceded 74, with 60 points reached. In 38 games, that's preposterous. On contain, I was averaging 1.37 for, to 1.6 against. Defensive was 1.51 - 1.54...

    Inbox

    It used to be I set my subscriptions to the various tournaments I wanted to follow, with the European Championship and World Cup have match reports from the early round and onwards appear in my inbox. Now, I get nothing, even though I'm following them with those settings put in place. I'm...

    Why is it so difficult to make a solid 4-2-3-1???

    The gegenpress was brilliant for 3 games, then fell apart. I thought about trying a 4231 with two DMs, but my team has solid CMs and AML and AMC. Most of my conceded goals come from exposed FBs. I've dropped my FBs to DFBs, but the attack suffers as a result. Nothing solidly works. OIs might be...

    Penalties

    I've missed nine out of ten. That can't be right.

    Is fm17 SIGNIFICANTLY 'BETTER' than fm16

    17 looks great, runs fast, and when they iron out the issues, we'll have a classic.

    FM17 Initial Thoughts

    Has anyone's DoF actually done anything yet? Mine's set to do everything but accept transfers, but hasn't hired anyone, set scouting assignments, or shopped my transfer listed players.

    FM17 Initial Thoughts

    Started a second save after my first seemed too easy. I got Hearts into the Group stage of the Europa League with little difficulty, and am unbeaten after 14 league games. Aberdeen and Hibs also got into the group stage easily, and Celtic are on 9 points after the 14 games. I'm worried that the...
