Going to start a La Liga save with my cousin. I was thinking about being Atletico Madrid. I’ve seen the budget they get and they seem to be in a lot of financial difficulty. Have I missed something? Does anybody know why they are struggling so much?

That’s really impressive. I don’t think I have achieved anything close to that with such a small side. Where do you go now you are at that level though?
Really nice save and cool team youare building! Really makes me want to stick it on again and get a game going.
Just purchased this, and I'm playing my first season with Blackpool in league one, and have just played United in the cup. Mason came on as a sub and scored 3 in 15 mins to crush any hopes I had. Unbelievable.
Started out as Barnsley and got them promoted via the playoffs in the first season... Went up and the board gave me a respectable £30m to spend but wouldn't budge on their vision of young players only for the club and anybody over 28 deemed old.
Had them in 13th in January the 1st and got offered the Everton job so off I went.

On the hunt for a laptop and this would be something I would get with it.
Is an 8GB RAM enough to run the game with the large database and seasonal regens etc...?
Or is there a different feature/spec on laptops that I should be looking at to run games like this or similar simulation games?

If you're into it, there's even an add-on to include the "Huge Database" version.
Most benchmark articles say that 8GB are the optimal for the huge database, so you're in the good way and a min quadcore CPU to help to boost the processing of data (something FM does a lot) and the GPU power will depend on how much do you care about watching the 3D engine.
Also the storage should be SSD (not a problem since nowadays laptops come with this alerady) to make disk access faster.
They are small team in the bigger picture, but are top 2 in that country. So getting into Europa in the first year is possible with a lucky draw, which boosts the money. Then looking for Champions league money after 3/4 years. Just that alone gives you such an advantage over all the other clubs in that league. Meaning I just buying all the best 16/17 year olds in the Balkans.
As for beating bigger teams I’m not sure, it shouldn’t be possible. I’m assuming the engine takes into account team morale and tactic familiarity. It’s hit and miss though. I could win in Europe one week and lose to a shit Slovenian team the game after.
I usually lose interest after about 7 seasons, because you can’t grow any more without other teams in the league doing well in Europe too, boosting the rep of the league further. Although I am making an effort to spend more this time, the board don’t let me spend more than 7k a week on an individual player, even though I have so much cash to spend.
Been playing the beta of the newest version (you can download it in steam if you go to preferences and then beta and select it). It seems to have fixed the one on one issues with the match engine. In fact I’m having to change my tactics a lot as it’s kind of fecked up my season momentum.
Yeah really enjoy that match engine on the public beta, seems to be way more penalties missed than scored on it though.
Cheers for the response. Picked up an 8gb with ssd and vega 8 graphics card. Will do the job on simple simulation games like FM. Looking forward to getting started!
Here is the huge DB tutorial, in case you want a hardcore in game DB

To this day I still prefer playing the game on the classic 2D, because I can use my imagination more to 'see' the play happening, whereas, when I turn on the 3D match the animations and clunkiness take me out of it.
Im the same. My better half says I'm a weirdo cos they are just dots!
I actually did prefer this too for ages, but seeing a cross followed by a volley in the top bins is pretty nice to watch
Brighton season 3. Finished 6th and we’re in Europe next year! Insane season.Only disappointment was our performance in the cups.
Sandro Tonali was instrumental but the whole team performed brilliantly. Bukayo Saka has been fantastic again but Emery has been sacked and I can’t see us loaning him for a third successive season. So started to look at left wing replacements. Got Dan James from United in Jan for £15m and he’s got 8 goals in 14 games.
Also managed to get Tuanzebe for £18m and Tammy Abraham for £11m, which should bolster the squad for the increased schedule next season.
Looking ahead to season 4, i’d love to go on a run in the Europa league. Arsenal and Spurs are spending like mad though so getting top 6 again will be a real stretch.. i'd probably accept top 8 and a good cup run.
Team should look like this:
GK - Ryan
RB - Tavares
CB - Tuanzebe, Ben White
LB - Vagnoman
DM - Tonali
CM - Bissouma, Bellingham
RW - March
LW - Dan James
ST - Tammy Abraham
Same. Don’t think I’ll ever change.
if they made a Sensible Soccer version of the 2d engine i'd be all over it.
Considering to get the game on cheap but everywhere i go i read that the match engine is terrible this year.
Is it worth getting?

First time I've had it for like 3 years and I haven't noticed anything particularly bad.
You get the few odd 1v1's missing and penalties seem to miss a bit more often than they should. Players could be a bit smarter in cutting the ball back instead of shooting from silly angles, but then we'd probably get 5 goals every match.
It's good enough to enjoy it basically.
Has anybody done a network game?
My friend just got sacked and i'm trying to re add him to his club - i'm sure as the administrator I can do that, but I can't figure out how to give him another club. Any ideas?

So, I started a new career and I'm starting as manager of Vitesse. Trying to implement a possession dominating tactic with high press/high line. Everything's going ok so far as far as possession is concerned; I'm no.1 in the league. My issue is that it's really hard to score vs. teams because of the low block defences. Anyone manage to make a possession tactic offensively good? Any PPM's that I should be looking at?
The game has been decimated by all these transfers man 
So, it's basically the same as 2019. Did they do something about the amount of times you would hit the post? Felt like I would get 3+ post hits almost every game in the 2019 version.

I created this tactic. It’s insane for goals. Three years at Plymouth I scored 306 goals in 166 games. You will get exposed a lot but you’ll outdo the opposition over the course of the match.
It got me two promotions then I came 10th in the championship with the lowest wage bill in the league.
Greenwood just has those days for me.
Noice!!
Currently sitting 2nd place in Eredivisie behind Ajax by around four points with Vitesse.
Managed to loan in Foden from City, as well as Brandon Williams and James Garner from United. The real jewel in my team, though, is Vitesse's own Thomas Buitink, aged 19, with 21 goals in 20 games. Holy hell, what a player this kid is!

Coming to the end of my second season. Looking likely that I’ll finish 2nd. Have the fa cup final to play against Chelsea and the champions league final against PSG. I had Liverpool in the semis, lost 3-2 at anfield then battered them 5-1 at old Trafford.
Lautaro Martinez has been god like upfront.
Haven’t played PSG yet this year. Any tips on stopping Mbappe and Neymar?

What’s United’s problem with logos and face packs now days? I use the DF11 ones and noticed a lot of the youngsters are missing. After doing abit of searching about, we have blocked all things like this and we are the only team to do so.
Us and Juventus have all rights owned by Konami now (PES) and can't be used in other games without paying them a fee.
Fabio Silva from Porto seems to be the bargain of the game so far for me. £12m and he’s scored 80 league goals in 100 games.
It’s weird though because all faces and logos are still there to be used for both us and juventus. I contacted the bloke who makes these df11 faces and he says he won’t make anything for United anymore. It’s only the youngsters like Mejbri etc that are missing. The rest of the squad are there.
Yeah I mean you can technically still have photos of players, but the image rights are owned by Konami now. They were threatened by legal action to remove these so it's not worth it for them.
Until the deal runs out I assume it'll stay the same unfortunately.
This made me chuckle
What the hell is up with players refusing to sign contract renewals? I've got 4 or 5 of my best players with about 18 months left and they're all refusing to re sign.
Hmm. Not sure about the latest match engine update. Seems a little too easy now.
How do you download it, or is it just auto updates?
It seemed to autoupdate via Steam.
