Hi HC
I paid 900k + 100k for 50 Apps for him
Yeah. But this lad is legit a FM streamer though.
His name is DoctorBenjy.
Oh sure.
Heard he was asking about Mitch earlier.
Hiya there FinBro.
not a bad price at all

At least he's serious tactic-wise.

found your problem
I'm managing Zorya (Ukrainian league), but I want to manage Shaktar. How do I proceed?
I don't get it
Start a new save and take over Waxtap.
what's the best FM?
been away since 12
12
no i'm fine with my profile. it's 2021 and i managed some good things. i just want to take over Shaktar and make them win the UCL
add a new manager for waxtap, then immediately retire him, now you take over the vacant position.
Ha nice. Thanks
this one was lower case for some reason. poor form, thank you for spotting it. exasperated cheeks-bulging dunne will henceforth be known as Dunne14, and this one will be capitalised

Had Thomas Tuchel as my assman in 15. Good to see he is also as good irl as he is in FM.
Klopp pls
Guess I'd better start a Liverpool save then.
Nah.
Meanwhile PSG are 3rd in a one horse race
i just grabbed fm2016 for 12€ off of g2a after being away from fm for 8 years
how badly did I fuck up?
hi figo
depends
do you rage hard when amateur players (with first touch & finishing of max 5) score goals from perfect crosses, from their equally donkey fucking team mates?
...
Does the PSG meme ever die in your saves?
It's slowly happening in my save. They never EVER won the Champions League, somehow.
Other french clubs become the third and fourth wheels in mine. Marseille is trying to throw their hat in, but so far it's been P$G and Moneyco
I remember one save (fm13 I think) where Nice ended up taking over and were utterly dominant, winning the league for 7 straight years or something. most of my saves don't last 20+ years, but in the other couple that have I'm pretty sure PSG were still on top
How pathetic is the Italian national team

FM seems to be fond of using Farca as a "wake-up call boss".

kek, haven't noticed that

Them not being in Ligue 1 at any point between 26/27 and your present day means they didn't stay in Ligue 1.
Well nearly

Too unrealistic, as oil rich sheikhs see the homosexual pink ingrained with the club culture an abomination.
Palermo was bought by some Chink tycoon. Haven't seen any arab tycoons buy any teams in this save.
why lad, hoping for a penalty?
I was considering my options but decided to keep it on aguero
>st pats athletics best striker has 2 days left on his contact and wants to leave for a bigger club

i'm basically football jesus in ireland.
I dunno, you may have just gotten a lad beaten to death
He's black. They'll be sunk for a race crime.
How much should I see this lad for you think?
Value in britbucks is 4.5m
For comparison, this was he predecessor who was sold for ~£10m
10 might be the max you can get, as he's non-EU as opposed to the Montenegran
He's a little better than the montenegrin with the unpronounceable name overall, although 12 jumping is a bit of a worry
maybe 12-15m? he's pretty young
Hes my rightback so im not too worried about the jumping. Much more worried about his crosses to be honest. Im assuming im gonna have to sell him sooner or later.
And since my board sells my players for a fraction of what I can get if I negotiate the price Ill have to make a move soon.

Are you doing that free agent thing where you make them available for teams in your country?
How does that work again? I might have to do that
thats exactly what i'm doing.
i've also signed about 50 sixteen year olds with 1-2* PA so irish clubs can have homegrown kids in europe
>Threadmaking 20
Hes a great limited defender and im trying to turn him into a decent attacking fullback. Considering im playing in norway hes more than good enough for the league
do you have to sign them or is it enough to just offer a contract/trial?
i'm signing them on 12 month deals, then loan them out for the year and let them go.
Why not 2 year deals and sell them after 6-12 months?
>sell them
I don't want local clubs to give me their money. I'm rich. I have a transfer budget of £140m.
Ah, youre past flipping shit talents for profit then i see.
How do you make the money in ireland? When I become world class in norway I have to constantly flip 2-4 star talents for cash
I'm just incredibly transfer savvy, keep low wages and make £20m+ a year in CL prize money. Every year or two I sell a player for €40m+
Its a slow increase. I make a lot on loans and sell-on clauses too.
I dont like selling my best players so my strategy is to sign poorly developed regens on free transfer, have them play a handfull of games for me for half a season then sell them off for £5-10m, sell a bunch every season.
>selling my best players
>when they're replaceable at a £30m profit
This is why i make sure my backups either have amazing potential or are good enough to start in the first place, where i rotate them in the league to keep them happy.
Won Serie B, holding steady in my first Serie A season so far. 5th best offense, worst defense kek
I've done that with trialists, just put them on a temp contract and let my notoriety make other clubs buy him

Teams in your country sign players you put on trial? Meaning you dont have to

Question: When you've not been in an European competition last season, and players didn't want to join you for that reason, how long after the season in which you qualify do you have to wait in order for those players to be interested in joining?
I hope this is readable

i bet farage is behind this
as soon as the season ends
It should be when you receive the notification that "Your team has qualified for the ____ cup!"

He was a prick in preseason supposedly, got sent home form their American tour.
There was a vid he shot that was on LFC site where they were going around Alcatraz and he was just genereally acting weird and a bit of a cunt. Interrupted Klopp getting interviewed by someone and you could see Klopp was a little annoyed though presumably kept it cool because the press were there.

Quite hard to have a more dominant opening 10 minutes than that, really.
Just play a passing-oriented game. Then again, if your best player is notfit 6, rethink your transfer methodology

>20 CCC's
Rotate more and sell when he's 25/27. He'll be fine that way. Well if he's in a role/position where he'll have to run a lot, he'll need decent stamina to finish the game.

Also who had the name first?
I try to get as far as I possibly can with my save before finally switching over to a newer game. I'm always a year behind as a result.
That doesn't answer why you buy 16 now. Just skip it and get 17.

Won Team of the Year, finished 3rd in the Fair Play Award.
Regarding individual awards I got Fastest Goal and Diamanti had the 3rd highest average rating, won Italian Player of the Year, had the most assists and was in the starting eleven for the Team of the Year. Pretty good for a 34 year old.
nothing better than successfully incorporating an aging but talented amc or dlf into your team
I remember bringing in paulo baier in a couple fm13 saves, and my first ever fm save involved clinging onto a premier league place by relying on a barely-walking zvjezdan misimovic
i always signed Rivaldo back when he was still in the game, even if he had like 1 Pace and I was playing in the Premier League.

>peak-age wingers
>Having your currency set to Krona
Ofc there are more teams, theyre just not professional. All they have to do is make a pyramid where amateur teams can compete and make money. Give it a few year and things will start to grow.
You seem to think that Canadians actually care about soccer more than Americans. Or that the CPL isn't anything more than Canada getting butthurt because Canadians are only considered domestic players for canadian teams.
even if they dont it will be better than mls
It won't, Norbro, you just have to come to terms with it. It'll probably fold in 5 years due to bad attendence as well
How can they make money if no on wants to watch it?
the TV money will come from the apparently vast population of obsessed and insulted americans
Unfortunately we don't get Canadian ESPN. So we'd just free stream it
But they don't even watch MLS, why would they watch the same thing with worse players, fields, and production value in Canada?
Doent that just rely on the scale of the operation? I assume CSA gets money from fifa? Use some of that plus TV money to fund a league on the level of something like scotland.
Canada still has what, 40 million people so even if there isnt a huge general interest there should be enough that in time they can make a decent product.
Because football isnt all about commercial success, and that's what americans dont seem to get. Why the fuck would a canadian outside of Vancouver montrael and toronto watch their fake clubs play other fake clubs? Is away support even a thing in MLS?
What would make a canadian football league attractive is if every part of the country has a team represented and they all have shot at climbing the divisions.
>Because football isnt all about commercial success
Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal are the main attractions of this would-be league, as well as the only 3 teams + Ottawa that are known to attract the crowd.
Football in Canada is literally worse than football in the US in that they can't believe their Nat'l team is shit when their players are still minorities in the American soccer leagues. Canada also has the same issue in that they could give 3 shits about pro/rel. Their pride and joy NHL and CSL are both single entity.
>I assume CSA gets money from fifa?
Why would they?
>Use some of that plus TV money
There is no TV money.
Where do you think TV money comes from?
It comes from advertising, which only exists when companies want their products to be advertised, which they aren't going to pay for when all of six people are going to watch this.
Scotland works because you can walk across it in a day (read: travel costs are basically 0).
You can't even cross Ontario in a day, let alone all of Canada.
>Because football isnt all about commercial success
Mate you're suggesting setting up a league across land the size of Russia without any history, interest, or money. You're going to need at least two of those.
>Why the fuck would a canadian outside of Vancouver montrael and toronto
That's like 2/3rds of Canada's population desu.
>fake clubs play other fake clubs?
nice fallacy there
>they all have shot at climbing the divisions.
While nice, it's not realistic simply because
>there is no money
>there is no(t enough) interest in a league (to provide the financial support to make it appealing to investors (who could subsidize travel costs enough to make running a club possible))
>canada has no history of playing soccer, making it harder to generate interest
If it weren't for that Argos guy and Saputo, MLS would've kicked at least 1 of those 3 teams out to the CPL in favor for Cincinatti and maybe Detroit.
how did I end up with 3 canadian internationals
>Also Chinese
I see the kid from Vancouver's earned his shot
is there anyway to convince foreign players to join you when youre semi pro ?
make them captain. It actually works, I was surprised mysel
Who /TinPotClub/ here?
what if theyre souless wingers ? Can you just say youll make them captain and then not ? current captain 20 det 20 leadership
its a promise, so if you want an unhappy brazilian wonger go ahead. They're just going to be unhappy sooner rather than later
>wahhh my training isn't going to produce results
>jumping has already gone up 2 points in 8 months
Well boyo I think maybe you need to sit down and shut the fuck up so I can make you world class you teenage twink.
someone asleep in my bed dubs decides what i do to them
one thing I've always wondered /trb/
is there a rule where you can't contact a player for a possible pre-contract when you are in the same league? Have a player who's contract I know is expiring in 6 months but I can't offer him one.
put glue in his hair
are you in england? I think you have to wait for 1 month there
only if you're managing in england
alright lads how the fuck do i get advanced playmakers to work nicely
i decided to load my FM15 macca db save and i have a 37 year old Player/Coach Ibrahimovic on my team what the hell i dont remember doing this
you can't, they play too far up the pitch
t. butters
also completely forgot about my favourite regen of all time King Cheater
i guess i'll revisit this save in the future
Players you think are overrated in FM
Go
Kross
...
That brazilian bloke that keeps getting posted here
Think his name is Jair?
overrated as in FM players overrate them, or their attributes are overrated compared to real life
either way, Ajer and Odegaard
delet this
Geronimo Rulli
FUCK OFF
FUCK OFF
>it's your tactics :^)
>not paying your ref what he wants when he wants
yup, cheers /trb/
the latter
>2020
>messi is on €700k p/w
>not even starting because of this ridiculous regen striker they got
shambles. they're 1st in the league though, so I guess they don't care
But how good is this ridiculous regen striker?
"some HoYD performed demonic rituals"-level good
That fucking hairline though.
I don't understand. I guess the good news is that those players are now there forever.
why cant i find regens that good
It's your luck.

>thread so ded
how in depth do you guys go when making a tactic? do you study heatmaps, statistics etc and watch full matches or do you just quickly create one (based on prior experiences) and just tweak when it doesn't work?
also do you create your tactic around your players or do you transfer players in/out to match your tactics?
much appreciated
>parent club forces me to play a friendly with their reserves mid-week
so I get to either risk my starters or JUST my morale... fuckers
>quickly create one (based on prior experiences) and just tweak when it doesn't work?
This most of the time but when its a new FM (or new to you at least) then full indepth analysis is best as the match engine is always different enough to throw up anomalies or quirks in a few places that can help or hinder certain tactics
I was actually surprised at this, they had no CCCs
this formation seems to be working
ah, the dreaded 0-2-1-L
When you get a point with 17% possession
>"Tactic is working great, defending fantastically"
When you get a point with 83% possession
>"REEEE FUCK THIS STUPID BROKEN GAME!"
I suppose Milan's dreadful attacking is one reason behind that aswell
>this fucking shootout
Finally when there is a miss, both teams miss at the same fucking time.

I should probably look into getting a decent GK

FM15 I presume.
Post your tictacs.
How much do you take into account a players average rating when you're thinking about signing them?
yup
maybe the game figures it was more an issue of the defence/midfield letting them take open shots from the distance, but the goalie's positioning was pretty crappy (then again, 3D engine's rendition =/= ME)
>another intake
>all shit again
>no stotches
>not even a pair of brothers
Forget it in this version of FM. I've seen keepers literally gift goals to the opposition and have decent ratings. And you know how much I like to fine players.
what will you do when the big feature in 2017 is revealed to be women's leagues?
Wait for the inevitable meme images/gifs/webms.
inb4 their ME is actually competent to avoid feminist backlash
>Implying competent female keepers
I though FM was supposed to strive for "realism"?
>feminism
>realism
pick one
who /watchingU23football/ here?
You perfectly know that this was merely sarcasm Morz.
guess I worked myself into a paradox where SI makes a competent ME that doesn't have female players fuck-up
JUST
i fucking hate rulli holy fuck overrated pos
Considering how incompetent are keepers in FM, especially in regards to sweeping, female keepers would be downright comical.
How catastrophic will it be if I have a centre back partnership this year with a combined leadership stat of 9?
ask Gary Cahill and David Luiz
>David Luiz
>Centre Back
i don't disagree with you there, but it seems like Conte does.
They kinda let Walcott score.
But they are leaders?
...
>SI
>realism
come on now, F20.
>that final career achievement
well, at least they stayed up the previous year (I assume that if they got promoted in 2018, it would show up in the achievements)

5'8''
standard.
He prefers to be lower because he is all about Djibouti
Does anyone h ave any protips on managing lower clubs in second leagues and shit?
Doesn't seem to matter what I do, the players always make retarded passes that give the ball to the opposing team, and when they have an opportunity to score they completely miss the net.
also, post CFs
Sweden confirmed for terrible youth rating in 17
it's been a while

When is Sports Interactive going to address FM's internalized misogyny and add female footballers and coaches?
female coaches have been in the game for years.
this and who cares about whether or not there are female footballers.
I remember someone posting a regen that looked a bit like sinead o'connor here once
does that count?
>no new thread
is /trb/ finished?
>not having an entirely female backroom staff harem
