Are my players still going to get really pissy with me when I congratulate them on their first international goal?
If you congratulate them in that tone then they probably will yeah.Are my players still going to get really pissy with me when I congratulate them on their first international goal?
I don't think I played that great. I guess we'll agree to disagree.Are my players still going to get really pissy with me when I congratulate them on their first international goal?
Player doesn’t think the last manager chat went well.I don't think I played that great. I guess we'll agree to disagree.
Player now unhappy.
My favourite thing about FM 18 was trying to do a squad overhaul at United.I don't think I played that great. I guess we'll agree to disagree.

Sell Blind. Zlatan wants to know why I've sold a leader in the dressing room. Tell Zlatan we have other leaders. Zlatan accepts an apologises for kicking off.
Sell Fellaini. Zlatan wants to know why I've sold a leader in the dressing room. Tell Zlatan we have other leaders. Zlatan accepts and apologises for kicking off.
Sell Rojo. Zlatan wants to know why I've sold a leader in the dressing room. Tell Zlatan we have other leaders. Zlatan accepts and apologises for kicking off.

Don't register Young in any squads. Offer Young to clubs. Brighton make loan offer with option to buy. Accept. Young wants to stay and fight for place.
Don't register Darman in any squads. Offer Darmian to clubs. AC Milan make £15 million offer. Accept. Darmian wants to stay and fight for place.
Reach November. Young puts in transfer request because he feels he doesn't have a future at the club. Agree. Place Young on transfer list.
Darmian is unhappy that Young is transfer listed because he feels he's an important player. Tell Darmian he can join him if he's unhappy. Darmian apologises and promises to concentrate on his football. Darmian isn't playing football because he's not registered to any squads.
Reach January. Release Young to Huddersfield on a free. Darmian wants to know why I've sold Young because he feels he's an important player. Rest of squad is happy I kept promise made to Young. Tell Darmian he can join him if he's unhappy. Darmian apologises and promises to concentrate on football.
Forced to register Darmian to squads because of full-back injury crisis. Darmian plays one Premier League game against relegation threatened Burnley. Gets 7.9 rating. Darmian requests new contract for impressive performance. Tell Darmian he won't be getting one.
Darmian requests transfer.
Generally my tactics work for around 5 games before I start getting tonked by everyone until I change it up again, so you might be right.sounds like you are a bad manager
It beta be.I'm guessing next week maybe around Thursday - Friday.
Can't wait to be honest. I haven't had a FM save since FM16 so looking forward to this one.It beta be.
More near post cross goals. Fantastic!A first look at the actual game via Miles and the FM Show hosts. They're playing through it.
He also explains they don't know when the beta will be out. They're just sticking to the 2 week window for now.

Same, first with United and then either Bundesliga or unemployed looking for jobs in lower leagues.So who are we all planning to manage in our first save? I usually do United but also interested in managing Dortmund, partly to try my best at developing Jadon Sancho. Oh, and Bristol City, too.
I've already decided I'm going to manage Plymouth Argyle. Really can't wait for this years version as I skipped 2018.So who are we all planning to manage in our first save?

I pretty much do the same along with clubs from Italy. Wanna try a Spanish save this time around that I can stick with. Any interesting clubs that y'all would recommend?Same, first with United and then either Bundesliga or unemployed looking for jobs in lower leagues.
I had fun doing a Bilbao one, mostly due to their restrictions with Basque players. Made an interesting twist since I’m usually crap at sticking with my self-imposed rules. They have a decent squad, but it definitely takes some work, time, and good youth to consistently try and challenge the big Spanish teams.I pretty much do the same along with clubs from Italy.

That pretty sums up why my Bilbao save didn't last long. Got bored with it before the season ended.I had fun doing a Bilbao one, mostly due to their restrictions with Basque players.

well I rescind my suggestion then. It was the most fun I had on a save outside of my Salford City one, but I can see how it could become a bit stale over time for some.That pretty sums up why my Bilbao save didn't last long. Got bored with it before the season ended.
Villarreal are always one of my saves. Small population, so even with prolonged success a new stadium will only be about 30k in attendance.I'll give them another try this time around hoping it'll be a more fun save. I hardly watch La Liga outside the big 3, so what smallish clubs are decent enough to have a save?
Real Betis are certainly a great idea. They are really on the up and have some great players now, such as Marc Bartra and William Carvalho.I'll give them another try this time around hoping it'll be a more fun save.

Basically, yes.By "revamped" tactics does that just mean they've made tactics more complicated now and it's just gonna take up loads of time?
Last few FMs I've had I've played the 'touch' version because it's too much effort to play the full one properly.
No, it's much easier this version than it has been since early FM versions. Now you have presets and it's much clearer what each instruction do in practice. For instance, in previous versions, most players thought wrongly about mentalities and team shape. Each mentality has a preset of invisible tactical instructions like Attacking, for instance, increases you closing down, tempo, defensive line, tackling, passing directness, etc. Which doesn't necessarily translate into the typical more "offensive" style of football. To play a slow tempo possession game you would often need to play as "counter". In this year's FM all these "under the hood" instructions are more clear and organized as team styles. So you can pick a basic template for your team like tiki taka possession, fast direct transitions, park the bus and so on.By "revamped" tactics does that just mean they've made tactics more complicated now and it's just gonna take up loads of time?
