P15, W9, D0, L6 since I took over, not bad considering the squad is just awful. Started off with a few big wins, but it got really scrappy towards the end, then I lost 3 on the bounce before the final day. I was on 31 points going into the final game, as were Greuther Firth and Erzgebirge. Tense.


This was my finest achievement though, absolutely shithousing a 0-1 away win against Koln via an own goal. Didn't even have a shot on target. A cross just bounced in off a white shirt. A masterclass.



30 fouls. Simply magnificent football.


The board don't like my style of play. The board can eat a dick.

Bit annoying that the updated United faces don’t come with the DF11 pack anymore. I know it’s to do with the rights and everything but still annoying.

Good season 4 at Deportivo. Didn't even realise I'd only lost 3 games until the end of the season, still a million miles away from Barca & Real who just blow teams away every other game but not losing to them over a season is nice!



Improved massively upon the season before which was my first in La Liga. Went really well still, won the Copa del Rey, but conceding 68 is never a good sign, including a 7-1 loss away at Barca. :nervous:

Really enjoying playing in Austria. Always good to try out leagues or nations you haven't before.

This Charlton save is really fecking me off atm. The team was on a real high coming in to the new year in my first season, everyone's playing well and I'm usually 6-7 points clear at the top after every round. Then all of a sudden all the teams in the bottom half of the table begin to take points off us and confidence hits rock bottom, mistakes being made every game, can't even string 2 passes before aimlessly booting the ball down field. I'm somehow still 4 points clear of 2nd and 8 off 3rd but after a couple draws and losses to poor sides I'm genuinely worried I'll finish in the playoffs and get knocked out! None of the changes I'm making in-game seem to affect anything, I've got 3 important first teamers jaded from being over-played cos I've got injuries to their counter-parts in a paper thin squad...

STRESSED

In other news we are Papa John Champions. wo0t wo0t.

I was playing g drunk last night and I won my first Austrian league title. Feck you Salzburg!

I also managed to sign both Yari Verscharen and Adam Hlozek on free transfers!

Austria's coefficient went up so me winning the league means I go straight into the CL group stage :drool:

Once again. Feck you Salzburg. I'm really going to destroy them!

Poor Jessie Marsch. Finally an American gets a good opportunity coaching in Europe and then @Berbaclass declares war. Can't you at least wait until the traditional Red Bull shuffle moves him up to Leipzig once Nagelsmann fecks off to Bayern?

He's not that good anyway. They spent 40 Million and came 3rd behind me and Rapid. I spent 11K this season.

@Solius and whoever else uses DF11 faces, skins are out which updates default skins with DF11 panels so they aren't tiny:




Have you done the real name fixes and got the dutch league loaded? He shows up for me but saw a few other people say they've no youth staff show up at PSV so could be one of the fixes that sorts it.

Do you know why my view is missing a lot? I can't see the player value or other stats. Would it just be the size of my screen?

Never mind I just changed the text size to 95% and now it seems to fit more in.

Yeah they changed the text size a bit this year for some reason, think you get more panels on the in-between highlights match screen too at 95%.

What do you mean?
Search DF11 panels on Google, then follow the instructions on the page to install. I'm using the dark skin on mine and they look much better when you use the correct panels. I think the download comes as left, right and centre. Just unzip the left folder and they will be in the correct place on the player page.

The color coding for the attributes is all sort of weird. I am guessing that red means good and green bad? Does my head in.
Too be fair you can change them to anything you want in the options. Red for high was my choice because i feel it stands out more, but it's down to personal preference.

ok, makes sense. I thought that was coded into the skin and it confused my traffic light based logic brain thingy.

Isn't this just a download in one of the update packs that overloads all Utd faces? This can be overridden.

:lol: nope that's just my logic.

Nope, they aren't updating United's at the min due to the ongoing issues. So i've just made the United ones myself.

It's also the opposite of the radar plot which makes it a bit conflicting.

This is nice. How do I get this? Except the colour of the attributes.
The skin is called base21 dark skin. Then you need the DF11 panels to make the pictures bigger, like i mentioned earlier. The United df11 pictures haven't been updated to this years pictures due to the ongoing issues with the rights, so i made my own. But if you can live with last years then they will be fine.

Then the colour headers of the teams i downloaded from https://community.sigames.com/topic/541694-fm21mod-header-colours/ which improves it quite a bit imo.

I wasn't technically going for traffic lights, just colours that made snese to me :lol:
It's fine. I've just done so much data visualisation that I pick up on stuff like that. If it works for you then it's not an issue it's not like you're presenting it to anyone.

Haven't been on this for a while. Loaded it up, and saw my last game was a 0-0 draw against Burnley at home. So that's probably why.

Can't get the bloody thing to stay in windowed mode either. Every time I load it up it's back full screen.

Found out today i'll be in a cast in one hand for the next 6 weeks so gaming options are limited. Figured it's a good time to buy FM. Where's the best place to buy it anyone know?

Bit of an annoying start at Rangers. I have about 6 players unsettled because I refuse to sell them for less than their asking price, including Morelos who is easily my best player. The board are only giving me 30% of transfer revenue as well so even if I sell I get feck all return for it.

I've managed to get Nicolas Pepe on loan which feels like a bit of a coup. Elneny and Pellistri as well. Not much money for signings really but I did take a gamble on a young keeper who has turned out to not be as good as the scout report :/
And we back.

has there ever been an offside review that didnt disallow the goal?

Nope which is annoying as it basically tells you the outcome. How hard could it be to set it so that it can go either way.

Especially when the slow bastard of a ref takes half an hour to run to the monitor and back just to tell you.
