OliOTIB Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Anyone got any good saves going ATM? Or any good youngsters anyone can recommend? Currently have a save starting unemployed with no badges, got the Havent ans Waterlooville job with them struggling in tier 6 and currently top of the league in season 2. Eager to find out as I know there are some budding FMers on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That`s just normal revision of history for them. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transfer reader Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Was thinking of starting one with a club in/around Glasgow and try to make them bigger than Celtic/Rangers. Was looking at Clyde in Scottish League 2 and hoping they aren't part of the sectarian crap that Celtic and Rangers are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about scraped up the first year in the weird non League playoffs while Yeovil ran away with the league. It's so frustrating that they've already agreed deals to sell a load of good players (like Faal) and replace them with crap. Meanwhile you have 0 transfer budget and a crap wage one so it's kids released from academies and old blokes whose knees might explode at any time only. Good fun though. Just looking to stay up this year I think. Edited May 15 by IAmNick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has scored 14 goals by Christmas. Tried to sign the midfielder from Lincoln. Can confirm he is a greedy sod and advise City stay well clear! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's on by default. You get a range on some stats now (e.g 10 - 16 out of 20) and others will be completely hidden - depending on how many times you or your team will have seen them etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transfer reader Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Davefevs said: Haha. Do they still have “fog of war” option, where you hide the players stats until you scout them? Yes, to varying degrees I think. If the player is in a league that your club/scouts will have some knowledge of them you might get a range for the stats until you scout them. Not sure exactly how this is determined. The way I play is attribute masking (their term for it) is turned on, and I can only sign players that my scouts/recruitment team show to me. I do allow myself to sign players from a club I've already managed if I move though. The way some managers have players they'll sign at multiple clubs. Likewise I can't search for known good quality scouts, but have to hire ones that apply for the position. Makes it a fair bit more challenging, and certainly slows progress down. I did get a freak signing on last year's one though, a 37 year old Brazilian who'd spent most of his career in Russia. Signed for about 40k and scored a dozen goals and got a dozen from the wing and the winning goal in a playoff final then retired.

Beckford also left OOC after he wanted 1k a week to resign Signed a few top midfielders from prem academys after they were OOC. Notably Tyler Pasnik from Gers, scoring for fun next to Ryan Seager. Idehen and Acey, as well as George Dowling in the squad too, all players who have been released from our academy. Gone from Media prediction of 14th with the original squad to media prediction of 2nd with the current one, with 4 players in the dream eleven.

Yeah, in non league I usually just go crazy offering trials to ex academy kids and try and get a squad mostly on 1 year contract together. It's then chaos in the summer as you try and retain a few and rebuild from scratch - but that's basically your only option. Faal was decent for me in NL South, but NL looks to be his limit now. Roberts was great too (20 goals, 6 assists) and Wollard-Innocent (17 assists, 3 goals) but doubt they can step up. I picked up Caleb Chukwuemeka who was released by Villa who's doing a good job up front. This is how the table ended up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never got as far as the prem from non league, I usually get frustrated in L1 / Champ and want to start again! I'm not that good at the game though tbh - and I refuse to look up any of the recommended tactics or wonderkids etc. which doesn't help (but feels like cheating if you do) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you looked at the stadium at your last Tuesday night game, they might have given the crowd out as 134,000, but actual bums on seats I reckon was about 128,000.

The Nest Egg Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 (edited) Do a West Country save by taking as many teams from the region into the Premier League and establishing them so they are unlikely to go down once you leave. I did it once on FM21 mobile and after 30 seasons had us, Bath, Torquay and Dorchester Town there! I bought FM24 for PC and am currently in 2029 with City. The only current player I still have is Jason Knight and I finished 2nd in our second season in the PL, which was pretty unexpected. Lost to Man City on the last day, which meant they won the title, yes I was genuinely gutted... Once I grow our reputation to the extent where we are likely to remain a PL contender I'll leave and join another West Country team, most likely Exeter but depends which jobs come up really.

Unfortunately my approach tends to run out of steam pretty quickly, as those you managed to bag on Championship wages want a hefty rise.

Last year was the only time ive ended up at city with an ongoing journey man save. Started at Darlington, controversially moved to Hartlepool after losing in the playoff final with darlo. Hartlepool were in league 2, and there was a wonderkid named Johnny Mellanby sat in the U21 squad. Moved him up to the First team and instantly bagging 30+ league goals in League 2 to send us up. 1/2 a season later got offered the city job after nige was sacked sitting 11th, brought mellanby in in january for around 1m, scored 17 goals in that half a season to help us win the playoffs. Continued to score and ended up bagging 30+ a season for 10 years and winning 4 ballon dors along the way. Also scored the winner in the 2029/30 Champions league final and the world cup final the same year. Some kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 I'm about 20 years in on FM Touch. Spent 14 years at City. Fluked to the play-offs and lost the final season one. Got promoted season 3. Lost first 10 and failed to win first 15 in Premier League season 4 but scraped survival. Gradually improved in 5 and 6. Reached Champions League Season 7 and 8, took a step backwards season 9 but won the league season 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 along with 3 Champions Leagues and 2 FA Cups. Resigned in protest when the board refused to give me a 2 year contract extension rather than the 4 years they wanted. Spent two years unemployed then took the England job. Won the Euros then quit because it was an ageing team and it felt downhill from there. Took the Man City job and found myself breaking Bristol City's streak of 8 titles in 9 years. In second year there and currently in first. Not enjoying stopping Bristol CIty's spell of dominance and will try to return if they sack Thomas Tuchel.

Took Bath City from the NLS to win the champions league in 10 seasons. Funnily enough always found the League one -> Championship jump much harder than Championship -> Premier league on FM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
