In addition to learning the dynamics of the match engine, I suggest perhaps reading into real life tactics as well. I highly recommend having a look at zonalmarking.net, it will provide some insight into WHY teams play the way they do, and the effect of their tactics on the opponents, and...

Looking for a fallen giant, a la Southampton or Pro vercelli from the run of play story from a few years back. Would prefer a team outside of England, in a big country but lower league.

I had the same happen in my big club save, everything went up by about 150%. I offered up my wonderkid for 100 mil, got a bite from Spurs (they're always willing to pay stupid money for my top players) but declined, went to bed and when I loaded up the next day, everything was back to normal...

Interestingly, when I loaded the game up next, values were back to normal as were wages, which was quite a relief. I went from spending 1.6 million a week on wages to 2.4!

Keep us updated, I really hope this goes through for you. Edit: Stared at the screenshot too long...

I've double checked the contracts and most of them don't have the yearly wage raise clause in contract, I generally reserve that for youth players and only set it to 5-15%, so I don't think this is causing it.

Considering a bid from Tottenham for 105,500,000.

I'm in 2016 of my "big club" save and it appears the FM universe has been hit hard by inflation. I was playing this afternoon and as an example, I had a 30 year old Wayne Rooney on 90K a wk wage, and he himself was valued around 17 million. I loaded up my save this evening, played a match and...

The team I just won the BSN with was a team comprised almost entirely of people I picked up on frees while I was still in Evo-Stik Premier. Tim Hopkinson - Striker Matt Dinsmore - Striker Andrew Milne - AMC/AMR (I played him in a Gerrard type role, dropping behind my striker and he performed...

Congratulations on your signing, although in his final year of contract he's going to be making around 500Kp/w!!!

Being from the US, I've never understood the desire to stand up for an entire match. All our sports and stadia are all seaters, and in general the only violence in the stands we see is when athletes leave the playing field to assault various spectators. In all seriousness though, I think that...

I had good luck pairing Federico Fazio from Sevilla with Vidic. I think I picked him up for around 3 million, and he was first choice within a few months. Can also play DM. I paid out a big splash (I think 30 or so million) for Hamsik and haven't been that impressed, but don't have any...
