Hi guys, it's my first real post on here. I've been lurking and viewing for ages.
I have been playing FM for years, since the days of CM01/02. I am reasonably good at it, I seem to be able to get the best of my players.
I am currently am in the third season with my scunthorpe united team, I've just been promoted back to back and have found myself in the premiership.
I had a £18m budget, which I have spent the majority of it. I had bought Marcus pederson from vitesse for £150k in january, played him as back up, scored around 8 goals then managed to sell him to Blackpool for £7.5m!!
I have signed the likes of Fierro (who I had on loan last season, with a buy out fee of £2.5m, scored 35 goals last season in the championship)
My question is; I don't feel this game is as easy as past games, and I have always done well with regens in the past when getting to the promised land.
I seem to have bought players with 5* potential and current stats of 3*, so they should develop into fantastic players. I am just unsure that I've gone down the right route for the first season, they've not done too great in my pre-season matches.
I still have the same nucleus of players from my promotion winning side, that always seemed to rise to the game in FA cup matches. I just don't wanna rock the boat too much.
What would you do, break them all in the first team gently or thrust them straight in...?
Rgds,
Jamie
