ok I'm selling 3 players
Thats great and all, but you've been playing this for ages and should know your cap limit. You just fecked me over by buying a player you shouldnt have. So thanks for that. Not that im overly annoyed given his club is going to get relegated but still... you should know better.

I signed Widmer for the cups. If i'm lucky he'll move to Juve/Inter in the summer. Otherwise i'll just tell langster he's the next Cafu and sell to him for max.

Wait this player cap limit is manually enforced ? I thought it was written into the rules of the game. What happens when there is a violation ?

Not having this set in stone and leaving it upto people to be gentlemen about has been a mistake.

It's tricky to set something in stone when the stupid game gives gameworld admins zero powers whatsoever.

In other news: Kylian Mbappe not even in the squad for the first game he plays in real life post-United.

Douglas Pereira was a pretty pointless signing for Barca. Sergi Roberto starts at RB with both Douglas and Dani Alves on the bench. Douglas has played just 12 minutes in the league all season.

Transfer ban with all managed clubs is pretty much damning in a competitive GW.

I think Sergi Roberto is Luis Enrique's favourite. The gaffer played all over the field just like SR.

6-0 win away to some AI. But you know this game has a terrible match engine when Gareth Barry is leading Watford's assist charts :lol:

Another match day and anoter loss. :(
Change tackling to hard, press all over the pitch. If your midfield is weak, play direct and have 2 strikers upfront with mentality set to defensive. Using through the middle or a specific flank works only if the players there are higher rated than your players in other areas and the opposition in that area. If you post your 1st team with rating here, can try and help you with formation and instruction.

Who manages that Kiddermistress club ? They seem to be losing every game in Div 3.

Just giving him something that might work, the ME is bonkers.

He's currently playing through the middle when his CMs are well below par any opponent he faces, sure loss there.
Yeah, I pretty much give up this season already. Hoping for good summer review. Can't do any serious upgrading without ruining my club's finance

I just focus on scouting. Anything else is bonus

Yikes, you are punching above your weight in div 1 with so many 88 n below rated players.

Try a defensive 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 with direct passing and Fellaini as the AM(C) or CF. Hard tackling.
Thats pretty much down to B.Silva and A.Martial dragging my team from Div 2 to playoffs and then winning the playoffs.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will try them out in the next game.
