Was that the one with the infamous Diablo tactic?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
One of the more confusing layouts in recent years.
I'm really liking the new tactic screen. Got United playing the ol Gegen pressing.
How’s the UI?
Is it easier this year getting rid of the likes of Young and co?
I've listed Jones, Young, Rojo, Fellaini and Darmian - the only one I could sell was Darmian to Lazio for £10m. This said, Young is useful due to his ability to play LB and RB, seeing as Dalot and Valencia start the game injured.

Nice start to the season for my United side. The smash and grab 1-0 at Anfield was great, and then I employed more attacking tactics, including a 92' winner away to West Ham. Really enjoying the game thus far, all I wanted this year was a better match engine and touch wood, it seems improved so far. Specifically in the variety of goals scored - none from low near post crosses so far!
Nice!
Youth academy showing us how to do it
One of the most annoying parts of FM for me. Remember trying to offload Rooney and I couldn’t pay teams to take him.I'm really enjoying but it's seems far too easy. I'm absolutely dominating with United with the first tactic I created.
Just bought it for £23 on a place called Voidu using the code: BLUEWINTER
Includes the BETA too which is nice!

Yeah got it from there too at around $32. Couldn't pass up such an opportunity!
Currently doing a Betis save. Pre-season is going okay but Canales is out for around 6 months argh. Hopefully I don't lose Le Celso as well.
How does that work with steam, just gives you a code?
Ffs 28 dollars that's an absolute bargain.
EDIT: it says Football Manager 2019 - US does it matter that it's US?

Yep just gives a CD key.
Does it matter that it says US?
Was gonna wait, bought it now though, great deal.
Probably won't even play for a few weeks

NOt sure TBH mate, the one I bought was a EU version.

Ah ok, I guess it came up cause I'm in Canada. Cheers. Very good deal. I swear I bought FM18 for like $70 and barely played it.
Having my first save with United like some of you guys above. Signed Lozano, De Ligt and Mbabu For about £51 Milliion combined. Not sold anyone yet but given Martial, DDG and Shaw new deals.
Utd might actually be fun to play with for once cause we're a fecking mess.
This is the one thing that ruins FM year in year out.
51m for them 3. Why aren't other clubs also in for them....
They were.
Doesn't ruin the game at all though does it. United could sign all three of them in real life pretty easily.
Yeah but for 51m?
Di Light would cost that alone, I bet Lozano wouldn't be far off either.
I just think the AI isn't very assertive when it comes to buying the right players is all.
Every year is the same, Real Madrid, PSG and Barca spend 70m on X player only to be listed 6 months later.
This is early doors so hopefully it'll show positives signs long term, but it's the one thing that brings games to a holt every year
I get your point but I don't think it's game ruining. I find the cost of transfers in the game low in general.
I agree that the AI transfers are a bit daft at times though.
I once had this happen in my save...

Posted that on the SI forum and they all thought I was trolling but it was 100% genuine. I was looking through Partizan for some potential regens and I saw that guy worth 77 Mil and I was like WTF is going on here

I remember that on Si forums everyone thought it was fake or you used a cheat.
Anyway. Is there more pointless clicking or have they eased it a little?

Is that one of the places that just recycle codes?
I have no idea it's just the cheapest place that I could find.
Might actually give this one a miss. Been putting less and less hour into FM over the last 2 years. Only like 200 hours this year and like always, a lot of that is having it open while I do other things. Dont think I got past 2020 in any save (though I recently started a good one with Derby county). Its mostly turned into a game I play while travelling, so using FM 18 for the next year is probably fine. Doesnt feel like they changed enough for this years version so I'll just get 2020 if I manage to not cave until then...
Skipped to season 2 as I do every year and been given a £350 transfer budget with United. This will be fun
You guys complain about that every year but it is realistic.
What does that mean? Thinking of buying but will it not work if they are recycling codes or something?
Pogba is an absolute beast in the game, cracks in 25 yarders on a regular basis.
Sold Herrera, Darmian, Smalling.
Signed Rony Lopes, Kante, and Sergi Roberto, and Sandro is confirmed for January.
Top of the league by 1 point after 10 games, Sanchez is my top scorer. Rony Lopes is my best signing, only paid £20m and he's class.
Lukaku is rubbish as a lone striker so I'll be replacing him in the summer of 2019 and I'll be selling Mata, Rojo, and Valencia and buying a couple CB's. That should be enough to start competing for the CL.

€32 now.. Still a bargain tbf.
It was that price yesterday. It's still £23 with the discount code.
Still haven't fixed this?
If only they had some competition. Laziest devs going.
Yeah, biggest disappointment for me every year.Still haven't fixed this?
If only they had some competition. Laziest devs going.
On 18 I offered Lukaku to clubs for 100m and sold him to Chelsea for 95m.
On the same day I had a bid accepted for Kane for 60m. Better player, less wages and 35m profit.
If Kane was available for that much, other clubs have to come in for him. How do I get away with a free run of signing him.
And contracts running out.
If a player is in his last year, rather than offering a new contract, clubs tent to accept half their value even if they wanna keep them.
Offer them a new contract that!
The transfer system just needs a massive rework
No, Voidu is an approved seller of steam codes so they're pretty legit. Just need to check for geo-restrictions for which games you wanna buy.
