I still plan to resume mine despite the quintuple I won. Just been reading a lot of books instead lately.

Sounds appealing! I don't know where to go for my next save so retro-databases could be good for me.Anyone else had a go at TheMadScientists 07/08 DB? Currently giving it a bash as United - good fun so far.
Had some injuries early on in the season (impressed theyve managed to re create Louis Saha out of tissue paper for this) - Dong Fangzhuo scored a hattrick against Derby
Honestly, the entire spine of your team is made up of average players. I'd say it's a miracle you are pushing for the Premier League with that GK, CBs and one of the DMs.Like I was saying in the last post, feel close to winning the premier league.
Got some young players in here who can develop further. Think I might just be waiting for Haaland to retire He's still blasting them in aged 35. Starting XI, playing a 4-2-4 DM Wide

I wouldn't say we're pushing for it right now, might not even make the top 4 this season! Currently 5th at the end of January but only 3 points off 2nd and had some stupid results where battered teams and drew or lost. 8 points behind the leaders City, and if old man Haaland wasn't having a great season we'd be closer. Finished ahead of them last season.Honestly, the entire spine of your team is made up of average players.

Also, convince your hardest to get that LB to sign a new contract.

I did move away from BPD for a while and was talking with @saik about it on my way up through the divsions. It just seems to what people do so have gone back to it, kind of getting away with it.Passing 10 & 9

I bet it chaos trying to play out from the back
They could really do so much more with the international management side of the game. It's extremely neglected I feel. Like you, I took over Ireland in the 2030s and got bored of it very quickly.Getting close and actually kind of bottled it.
Good season though and won manager of the year. The top class left back we've got did a clean sweep of the awards; player of the year, Young POTY and Player's POTY. Our goalie won the golden gloves with 18 clean sheets.
About to lead England in Euro 2036. It will be my one and only tournament with them. Resigning afterwards as international management isn't much fun.
Certainly by real-world standards these days. I think it's a thing that can sometimes happen in FM if you go a good few years into the future. The AI is poor at transfers, a lot of the top players from when the game started begin to get old or retire, and you can end up with many closely matched teams.77 points seems low for the title?
Yes, nothing much to do, and I'd hate to solely be an international manager. Only things that happens is injury updates to the players in squad and notifications that young players are considering switching allegiances.They could really do so much more with the international management side of the game.

My all-Ireland Shamrock Rovers team have made it to the PL and are pushing for a European spot as it stands. Hoping I make it so I can start looking at signing Evan Ferguson. I already had the best youth recruitment in Ireland before I took over and I've improved that and it's starting to reap the benefits now that I'm pushing up the leagues. The Irish youth teams are littered with players from my u18s and u21s.
Off to Iceland and Croatia and then Kazakhstan?So I've ripped this idea off a Clayts video he put up recently (to run alongside the united retro save) - do a save, managing in a country for each letter of your name. Only move on once you've won the top league in that nation
Well, me first name starts with N - so I'm off to Norway, managing Fredrikstad in the second level. Squad looks ripe for a 4-4-2, so will see how we get on.

But yes something like that. Vanilla db though, less chance of things bricking later on, so Kazakhstans out. Thinking Korea (of the Southern variety)
I use a large photo pack of AI generated faces.@Chipper you may have already said so earlier in the thread, but how do you have player photos for such young players in the year 2036? Is there a generic photo pack for regens kicking around?
Awesome, thanks. I'll give it a go. Would be great to not have regen pictures in the game, some of them are the stuff of nightmares.I use a large photo pack of AI generated faces.
It's a little complicated to get to grips with at first, but once you get the hang of it doesn't take too long. You could replace the each year's youth intake with it for the whole game, but to save a little time I do it every 2 or 3 seasons because the players won't really be showing up as major players in the game when they're 16 or 17.
You'll need:
- The facepack itself
- A tool called NewGan Manager, which is the tool used to swap the faces from the ones the game creates to the ones you have downloaded
- A search filter that will show all the regen players in the game as they're the ones you want to swap (this search filter comes with NewGan manager)
I got the facepack and the NewGan manager from here - https://github.com/Maradonna90/NewGAN-Manager/releases
Instructions are here:

There are other facepacks out there, that some people prefer. The one I use has 100k faces, but I've seen a smaller one that I actually think looks better with 36k faces. You could find that here:

There's also a little video tutorial on that page, and other tutorials on Youtube too. www.sortitoutsi.net also have facepacks for staff members that you can put into the game in the same way. For some reason it didn't work for me the one time I tried it, but I've seen other people who are using them in their saves so I probably just did something wrong.
Did you figure that out yet, got it working?Awesome, thanks. I'll give it a go. Would be great to not have regen pictures in the game, some of them are the stuff of nightmares.
Nice, but yes, weird how much the old firm have fallen away there. How's it going for your team in Europe?
Third season in the SPL. What a weird one. Neither Celtic or Rangers even had a strong European campaign. They were just bloody dreadful all season.
Got the files downloaded, but not had chance to do the rest yet, should hopefully have some time this weekend. Instructions look fairly straight forward so should hopefully come together. Looking forward to not having those dead-behind-the-eyes regen guys looking at me anymore.Did you figure that out yet, got it working?
Managed to get this working for players, but for staff its a nightmare I havent figured out yetI use a large photo pack of AI generated faces.

Decent. Got to the Last 16, still trying to improve everything at the club including facilities so it will be a grind.Nice, but yes, weird how much the old firm have fallen away there. How's it going for your team in Europe?
