Be gentle with me, i'm a prescious little boy.

Feel free to give me some tips.
I played shiiiiitloads of CM back in the days, not so much FM, but a little, so i'm not a stranger to manager games.

Teams have a squad cap that is related to their stadium size and the division they are in. Your squad cap is somewhere in the region of between 44 and 60.

First i need to figure how to look at my club and squad.
I can't figure it out, i'm that stupid, or the game is just weird till you get used to it.

Discuss the squad with TT, he has put together a really nice team.

People are hawks and try to take newbies for a ride in transfers. Dicuss deals with those you trust. Again, TT would be the best man to go to.

You are currently at 56, exceeding squad cap by 2

Hint: you just need to send Pjaca and Nunez back to their clubs, as they were accepted by AI when the club was vacant
Thanks, i just started, so this is the squad i got.
I'll look at them, since i have no clue who they are :p

Spoken to him a bit, i still think he loves the club.
I'm too experienced gamer to be fooled by the hawks :)

He's built it from scratch, will take time to get over it.

Lost £120k over the past week. To remedy this, the club are taking the following steps:
  • loaning Kurt Zouma out to West Ham United (reduction of £18k/week paid by Manchester United per week)
  • selling Aboubacar Sylla when his transfer ban is lifted on the 6th April. This would see the club reduce wages by £7k/week along with having over £100k from his transfer fee.
  • selling Kylian Mbappe to Hereford from the 14th April with a buyback clause inserted. Benefits both clubs as he'd instantly become Hereford's best player and benefits Manchester United due to short term wage reduction along with the cash generated from the sale. Has been agreed between the two clubs that should Hereford's manager decide to leave or United's manager decide to enact the buyback clause, that he'd return to United.
The following players are available on loan to any interested clubs:
  • Karim Rekik (21/86 D(LC))
  • Santi 'Barry Allen' Mina (20/86 AM,F(RLC))
  • Mouez Hassen (21/85 GK)
  • Georges-Kevin N'Koudou (21/85 AM,F(RL))
  • Richairo Zivkovic (19/83 AM(R),F(RC))
  • Mikel Merino (19/82 M,AM(C))
  • Charly Musonda (19/78 AM(RLC))

Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable.

Yeah, when you get offers for players ideally discuss with TT first.
I was just about to post this, he will try to get kimmich off you for a shit deal in the long run
My first suggestion. Don't sell youngsters. Selling one mid 80s player should easily cover losses. And if you do want to sell, sell them once they have risen end of season and you have had time to look at the players. The players will be worth lot more.

He's built it from scratch, will take time to get over it.
:( So hard.

So i have been looking at my squad, which is full, and decided i want to sell some players.
I want to free up some wages, and get money i can use to look at new players.
Yes, the Ipswich squad is pretty good, but if i just play a squad made by another player, i'll basically just be watching.

The players i'm thinking about selling, if i get bids i'm happy with, are:

Muhamed Besic D (RC) DM(C) 23 years, 86.
Louis Nganioni D (L) 20 years, 78.
Harry Winks DM, M (C) 20 years, 75 (@RedSky ?)
Adam Maher DM, M, AM (C) 22 years, 88 - currently transfer banned, so we'll have to wait till it ends.

Yes, I'm new, so feel free to make fun of my decisions! :)

Yeah, you need to do some transfers and scouting, that's the fun part of the game.

None of these are in my starting lineup, and Maher will probably soon be behind Kimmich (who everyone apparantly wants to buy from me. Go away!).
Besic is 3rd choice CB.
These will give some money, and reduce my wage expenses quite a bit.
The young lads are just unfortunate that Ipswich got a new manager! :p

The later. You can set in game instructions based on different situations.
Alright, thanks miss!
I already did that, but i might do it better with experience, and several hours to kill at work :p

Welcome to the league @AryanManUtdFan, the youngest manager since @omardalvi. Hopefully you won't put Blackburn in financial ruin like Omar did with Blackpool.
Thanks, only just seeing this. I will have a look at my squad tomorrow after school as its way too late now. I do not know what Omar did at Blackpool but reading your post makes me wish that I do not follow his path.

feck OFF DERBY. WTF is that? If i don't get him, i swear it's not going to be good.
You've pissed me off BD, you'll never ever get any player from me.
I seriously am going to get fecked next season with my team. Wish i had thought long term at the start itself.
Yeaaaaaaah. GTFI. Back in the promotion spots. Take that.
fecks sake, i wait 2 hours for a fecking 1-0 loss, when my team was just so good. feck SM.
Oh man, drew some games which i should have won. :(
still a chance for promotion, i think i will get it.
Did i mention i signed LOVREN, Dejan and Yossi Benayoun for season long loan deals? Looking for another 89 player on loan.
I can't afford to stay down here any longer. I will be ruined in debt if my stadium doesn't expand.
Everything's ready. I hope my boys win tonight and get promoted by the time i get back.
ouch, i think i forgot to change tactics.
But by even selling Kagawa for cash, my wages are not in order. I would have to sell many more players.
Atleast you'd have cash in the bank to cover wages though. 2 players plus a little amount of cash leaves you just as fecked by keeping Kags.
No point of the ecash if it keeps getting less each week, better im in debt then with a good chance at promotion
Omar you make no sense.
Omar, do you think getting promoted just clears all your debt or something? If you do get promoted while in debt, you'll be fecked as you wont be able to improve your team, and will probably be relegated straight away.
I cant see the point of selling my 89'ers, my squad will become weak, and i can't compete. then you say loan people, then again wages rise.

Thanks for all your help but Wolves are just inches away from getting kagawa. So if anyone wants him, improve your offers.
You cant compete because you are living beyond your means. You cant sustain it with the players you have. Blackpool cant generate enough income to keep your idea of competing with only 89/90 players. You are living in dreamland really.
I will show all you doubters next season, when i reach division1. My dreamland will become reality.:keano:

feck sake, i keep forgetting it, i just played a game 2 days ago
Did i win?

I need to set tactics in advance, keep forgetting it.
dried doubt?
frame doubt?
I miss him.
