Welcome to The Midfield Anchor.
I’m starting up a new narrative career thread with Aston Villa on FM24, built entirely around deep tactical depth, youth recruitment, and a bit of standard common sense football.
To bring the story to life, I’m building custom, authentic 1980s-style newspaper mockups to track the major headlines, media drama, and boardroom chaos throughout the save. (I actually shared one of these in a real-world fan group yesterday and accidentally caused a brief panic before people realized it was FM fiction!).
The Current State of Play:We've just wrapped up a massive transfer window shift, pulling off an absolute free agent heist by landing both Jadon Sancho and Leon Goretzka for a grand total of £0.
I'll be updating this thread regularly with tactical breakdowns, squad building, and the latest custom newspaper wraps as the seasons unfold.
Would love to get your thoughts on the concept, and I'll drop the first tactical overview below shortly!
