Yh.

This game is fucking rubbish. My computer can run new games on high settings but stutters and lags going from one page to the next.

just signed a player for £9m from Benfica.

Aged 21, not a wonderkid, already classed as an elite centre-back. Been with me less than a day and his value is already £65m xD

Finally started a new FM save, in the Polish second tier.

Have a plethora of pace on the left wing as well as up front but missing a bit on the right. Not sure if that qualifies me to play "run at defence" but I'll give it a shot for now. 16 and 15 pace on those respective positions should be too much for this league.

Predicted to finish 4th, lets win this league.

The touch version doesn't let you add or remove league's which is a bit of a bummer. Not sure what to get for FM 19.

At that stage of "waiting for the release of the new FM, bored of the old one" so I've been playing as England. 

Played eight, won seven, drew one. Just beaten Portugal 4-0 in a Friendly at Wembley in the March friendlies before the 2018 World Cup, where we've drawn Spain, Ivory Coast and Iran.

Did England myself when bored. First game was against Malta and I played a 2-4-4 formation. Won 10-0 and I think Jamie Vardy scored about 5 😂

Resigned after that, best manager the country has ever seen. 

I've gone for a 5-2-1-2 and an attacking style. It's not something I'd normally do on FM but I'm just sort of trying new things now the game is getting to that stale period. Did Malta 5-0 with Vardy and Kane both scoring twice. Drew 1-1 with Scotland because Luke Shaw did Robert Snodgrass two footed and had to play with ten men for 75 minutes.

Finally found some time to play my FM save. Here are my tactics.

4987bdca2c3fae4c4e592b1647c3ab14.png

Tomczyk isn't yet competent on the right, but he's right footed while Sierpina is a lefty. I figured this combination would work a lot better. Tomczyk can play up front too, but I think it would be better if I try to exploit open space on the wings to blast the opposition with pace. Sabala on the other hand, is slow. So I think if we have it on counter, he can dictate the tempo by holding up play.

I still have to decide on the CM's, but I'm probably just going to go with a Deep Lying Playmaker on defend and ball winning midfielder on support.

I didn't get into the Poland save so I started a shorter term save with Olympiakos.

Final matchday, us and AEK both on 71 but me with better GD. If we win we are champions no matter what.

Greece - interesting. Easy to compete domestically but the real challenge is Europe. 

Whole point of it. I don't want to start a too long term save as FM 19 is right around the corner, and I've never won the UCL on any FM before.

I've won the Libertadores but never the UCL.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I won the Greek league! Won it on goal difference with 74 points against AEK. Very nervy end of season but I was able to hold on a 2-1 win against Asteras Tripolis.

Kevin Mirallas unsurprisingly my best player this year.

Never really managed a top club on FM17 but I could never win the African Champions League despite my four titles in Algeria/Tunisia which are two of the top leagues.

Some of my new signings for what should be a transitional season.

Nicolas Schiappacase

Very good forward I signed for 6M from Atletico Madrid. Young, lots of room for improvement and is going straight to the first team. Currently trying to convert him to a right winger as he's a righty and has all the stats of an inside forward.

Roland Endriss

Looks a tad limited but defensively he has huge potential. Amazing stats already for his age but he's going to train in the reserves for half a year me thinks. It would be best to raise his stats as much as possible before getting first team minutes.

Rodrigo Moreira

Only complaint is his positioning. Otherwise another defender for the future. I like the look of him.

I signed 4 other players as well but those are the main ones as the rest are just backups.

Remember reading about a Portuguese manager who is an “expert” at promotion to Portugal’s top flight who’d won promotion something like ten times and found his story interesting. With this and the fact we’re led to believe that some managers in England (Bruce and Warnock) are “experts” at promotions, I’ve decide to see if I can master a league on FM18 and to see whether I could ever earn the title of “promotion expert”.

I’m going to start this off on FM18 and when I get FM19 (probably Xmas) I will see if I’m enjoying this self imposed challenge to see whether I carry it over into that game or not. 

Not sure what league in what country to attempt to master.

What's the most amount of penalties someone's got in one game (in normal time)?

Just been given 4 in one game in a 6-1 victory (surprisingly all scored as well).

Two I'd say, although I might have had three and forgot all about it. Never had four that's mental xD

Out of interest, did the same players take them? For example if someone has scored a penalty and I get another I change the taker, mix things up a bit.

Nah the second was different from the first. Then the guy who took the first took the 3rd and 4th. Not sure why it changed for the second xD

Had two before, never three for my own team. Remember a 2-1 win on a save I had, can’t remember who with, where I had been given two penalties, scored them and my opponents had been given one and missed it but never three penalties for one side.

Has anyone ever seen this?

First time in this mammoth save that I've seen it happen, and to my memory first time in any FM save I've had...

I checked their finances and it says they're 'rich' so not sure what the financial reasons could be?
