Done.Unlucky lads. Can I reduce TB to 50m please and put that in the BB instead to make it 109 and 50 please.
Gaming FM Owner Experiment | Season 10 done!
- Thread starter Solius
- Start date
Play the ball where it lands
I'll hide the 199 PA player in one of your shortlists (maybe)
We simming on? If so will do it now and update for Jan transfers tomorrow morning.
Yeah play on
Does he get hidden in 2 of ours then?
Yes (maybe)
Ok simming to Feb
I was worried about sackings and it's purely poachings ffs. Howe went to Villa early Jan but I've moved him back in Feb.
Update tomorrow!
Update tomorrow!
We thought Pavlovic wasn’t good enough.
Is he decent?
You can’t hide it in one but not all. You’ve just given alto his manger back
Estevao didn’t exist for us for a few seasons.I assume Solius is running the new 24.3 update where he's been upgraded and is one of the top DMs to snap up. I also noticed he had 15 assists from deep which is pretty snazzy.We thought Pavlovic wasn’t good enough.

Plus Poch plays with two DMs I think and I sold a bunch in my clear out so that position was a priority for me.

In going based on the conversations I’ve had within the Soccer Manager community (which often crosses over)I don’t really have a PC to game from so is FM24 any good on console?
I've never played it on console but I think they've upgraded it quite a bit this year. I'd probably just wait until FM25 though which is going to be bringing a new engine to the game which I imagine will improve the console version too.I feel like not playing FM has probably been a disadvantage

I've played about 3 seasons of this FM and stopped after getting annoyed that it doesn't allow Vaduz to win the league.I feel like not playing FM has probably been a disadvantage

I used to play it a lot on PC, but about 10 years ago now. Got the Switch version this year and it's really good, would recommend.I feel like not playing FM has probably been a disadvantage

Might be getting it then. Feel like if im enjoying the experiment I’ll enjoy it.

Big signings.
I assume some are regens. Is it possible to have a financial breakdown at the end of the season? I want to know why we seem to lose money very quickly, it's a bit worrying.

I thought we'd spent the least but maybe AI me is spending it all on hookers and coke.
Think we've now actually spent the least coming into this season.
Maybe that's where your extra cash went...
Season 6 - Run In
New
4th April 2029 - Run-In
So, bit of an odd season due to the work permit issues but all fixed now.
Sheff Utd top the caf pack despite losing their best player Pino for 6 months, and Wahi too. Jarrod Bowen has stepped up in a big way though and is the club's top scorer with 11 goals. Pino has 5 since his return. The club have had some bad exits from the cups this season, losing 2 - 0 to Lincoln City in the Carabao and then drawing 1 - 1 away to Sunderland in the FA Cup but losing the replay at home 2 - 0. They're in with a solid chance of getting europe though.
Bolton are smooth sailing considering last season's miracle escape. Liam Delap has been very good for them, as too has Paez. They reached the Fifth round of the FA Cup, beating Forest and Spurs on the way but eventually lost to Arsenal. Outside chance of europe maybe?
Sunderland are a one man club it seems. Sesko gets sent to the ether for 6 months and they nearly relegate themselves. They've recovered since his return though and are slowly climbing the table. They've also done very well in the cups. In the FA Cup they've beaten Sheff Utd, Aston Villa, Coventry and Watford. They now face Plymouth in the semi-final, so we could see our first Caf team in a top final (sorry play-off winners). They're also in the Quarters of the Europa League, where they take on Roma.
Derby will be happy with their position I think considering how difficult Bolton found it after coming up. Darvich has bagged 10 goals for them already, with Mikey Moore contributing 9 too. They've got Sheff Utd away in their next game, and then Forest, Leeds, Norwich, Brighton and Palace. So they should be ok!

Sunderland were knocked out by Roma but they've made the FA Cup Final. They'll play Arsenal.
True, by 30. I feel like the BB going from 200m to 95m is quite heavy. Feels like we eat it up far more than you all so interested why that is.
Think we've now actually spent the least coming into this season.

Bit of a rubbish season by us all really. We are all getting low on money but think we all need to get a big money player in this summer to make that final step up into Europe like Sunderland.4th April 2029 - Run-In

Season 6 - End - 16th May 2029
And there we have it. A season of mediocrity really but all Caf teams look fully established and shouldn't fear relegation providing the experiment runner remembers to check work permits in future.
Sheff Utd will face a wait to see if they play in Europe. I think it depends on the co-efficient and also whether Sunderland can win the FA Cup. That is coming up and then I'll post stats and financials

Decent season in the end and not too far off Europe. Very interested to see what players are in range now as I expect there could be some tasty individuals.
Good luck alto. I feel dirty.
I hope Arsenal batter Sunderland

Sesko the man for the big stage as he opened the scoring, but Arsenal fired back twice to take the lead. Kudus equalised for the Black Cats and after that it was even stevens. The game went to ET and then penalties. Here is the shootout:
SCORES! 1 - 0
SCORES! 1 - 1

Big congrats to alto and his Sunderland boys.
Seimen destroys the arse.
Congrats though alto, you're winning the experiment so far!

This means that Sheffield Utd get the Europa Conference League. Sunderland get Europa League.
Congratulations @altodevil.
