Dave Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I had an academy player who either turned up drunk or did something unprofessional whilst drunk on fm '14. I can't remember exactly what it was but I didn't fine him once I realised he did it celebrating his eighteenth birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are noticeably shit on FM. I remember a save I had years ago, think it was on FM10, where Merthyr Tydfil absolutely flew up the leagues. They had a greyed out team to start with but ended up in a league where they managed to get a couple of regens, but not youngsters, aged about 24 - I think they got three of them and they were all Championship level at the absolute least, and they built a side around them. Sticks with me that they were pissing League One and won 0-5 at MK Dons who were about to go under. Don't think I ever saw what happened next. AFC Fylde in the football league is actually believable mind you as they're quite well backed aren't they? But they have flown up even despite that. They've picked up consecutive promotions on my game. It's mad some of the promotions and relegations you get. On my current save a team has gone straight down from the PL to League One in the last two years, first Middlesbrough then Huddersfield. Rochdale have just won the League One play-offs and are a League above Huddersfield, and it's really quite funny how much better Huddersfield's squad is even despite this. I don't think there's much between my squad and Huddersfield's and I'm two leagues above them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since an Assistant Manager did a press interview for me back on fm'09 where he said we didn't have a chance of winning despite being on a winning streak and it bollocked up my whole season I've never been able to trust them. On 2017-4-30 at 4:29 PM, Cannabis said: Agreed. Assistants can balls things up too often for me, I rarely let them handle press conferences. Okay, so I'm on 42 points after 18 games in League One. My assistant keeps getting asked the same question about 50 points being the magical number to survive. His response is 'I certainly hope it'll be enough; we'll just have to do our best to accumulate as many points as possible and see what happens' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 A few news - I'm not an FM researcher but given I have a lot of care for the club I work for, I've sent in the player profiles to the Peru head researcher who is a friend of mine and a few players from the team will be in FM 18. Keep in mind these players are all under 20 so perhaps some of you could sign them - Rijeka ended terribly so I'm with Aberdeen now. If I get past season 2 I will update on a seperate thread. For now, just on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-D Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'll also look at the world rankings list, then look at some of the top 30-50 countries (depends how much I can be arsed), filter by age and see who's playing in the national first team aged 17-21.

I often check over whole continents for that. You often find some gems doing that. I forget how much of a ballache work permits are on this game in England. It's far easier in another country.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted May 3, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted May 3, 2017 The AFC Fylde thing on my game just gets better and better. They've started brightly in League Two and have knocked Huddersfield and Brentford out of the League Cup, they have Leicester at home in the 3rd round. Genuinely intrigued to see where they end up. Had a check of the League Two stats and they actually have the 5th biggest wage budget in that division. That's got to be a potential save to play one day if they're managing to pay that after being in the sixth tier two years prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Doing OK. I really just need to finish top 3. Celtic and Patrick Thisle the 2 fighting it out. I'm fighting Rangers and Motherwell for that third spot. Also scouted most of Peru, Brazil, Africa and S. Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just now, Stan said: yeah I had that with 'untouchable' when with Tranmere in my recent save. Its stupidly annoying. There are some recommendations that just can't be touched. Its always professional status that's broken for me. This time it happened to me on "change philosophies". Wish the game didn't have to lie to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I've opened up an AC Milan file, big club, decent side but small transfer fee and underdogs compared to Juve, Roma, Napoli and Inter (with their new money). A side game to play at the moment alongside my Barnsley file, but haven't been able to play the game for a while. Still got my Arsenal save so when I get a chance I might chuck those two up too.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 7, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted May 7, 2017 Got to love FMs bullshit sometimes.

Guest Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Finished the season with Aberdeen. Finish second and the board wants me out despite having a good squad harmony and meeting expectations. Luckily I think it was a false alarm. Get through this season and the thread will be started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
