  1. What you’ll probably find is that individual match results matter less to manager support than overall competition results. So once the league finishes that’ll help. You can also boost it by getting people to list you in their favoured personnel by praising training and match performance at the right times
  2. For what it’s worth, I managed to replicate this today. For example, you want to sub off your right back, move your left back to right back, and the new player coming on slots in at left back. If you make the substitution, then before it’s taken place use the tactics screen to swap your left back with the player coming on, both players come off. If, however, you swap your left back with the player coming off, they just switch positions on the pitch.
  3. What you’re really paying for there is the reputation. In terms of what he brings, he will, like @warlock says, be a better coach, and his higher DDM will make him more effective at it. As a rule of thumb, unless I inherit someone with terrible attributes, I tend to review my staffing at the end of contracts, so as to save at paying them off, as you’re generally only going to see marginal gains anyway unless you’re smashing up through leagues. If Sampaio is approaching the end of his deal, and you can’t find someone as good or similar as Sacramento for less, then yeah, I’d take the plunge, otherwise keep your powder dry for a while.
  4. During a match, I made a double substitution. I then swapped one of the players I brought on with another player on the pitch. This then resulted in 3 players coming off, but only 2 players coming on, leaving me with only 10 men. It also counted it as 2 instances of substitutions, leaving me with only one more substitution break to use in the match.
  5. Team talks etc have always been less effective at the start of the game, or when you take over a new club. It just seems that it’s now more extended and pronounced. I’m in my second season now and like @Dagenham_Dave have no issue getting a reaction in team talks. Whether or not it’s by design only SI can answer but it’s not even really a new thing, so I feel it is deliberate.
  6. Just to add to this, because I think it’s bang on, the key barometer to use here is the manager support. The higher it is in the green, the stronger players will be positively impacted by your actions. This now seems to change slower than it has in previous FMs too.
  7. I’ve had it once, captain and a few first teamers complained about GK depth (I had one first choice keeper, a youngish back up and another youngish emergency backup). Told them I was happy with the squad, half were ok, half weren’t. Carried on regardless, after a few weeks they were all over it, with no remaining issues. People forget, early in saves, these issues present more because even on high rep, you don’t have strong relationships with players.
  8. I have had it once where because the FFP for the league considered wage expenditure it wouldn’t let me adjust the wages up anymore, and since I was already over my wage budget, it wouldn’t let me adjust my wages down either. But that was a couple of years ago.
  9. I also have not seen this screen, even when there has been interest in players. I just get the screen that says no one wants to make a bid for the player. Ive tried this a few times with a few players too. To be fair, I’m generally seeing players are easier to offload anyway, with most going when I just ask the agent, but so far it feels like if the agent can’t do anything, an intermediary won’t either. Also, I’ve not done it with a transfer listed player yet, maybe that’s the key.
  10. For what it’s worth. I think the game considers quarter finals onwards the latter stages. But if they still rank your confidence at A you don’t really have much to worry about.
  11. I do agree with this. The other thing that’s worth noting is that they have at least accepted that you challenged for the title. Generally a 4th place finish would be treated as “qualify for the champions league” so they’ve at least acknowledged it’s more than just that. I would also imagine that City’s board are pretty strict, and that winning the league would be a preference rather than a requirement. A cup win might have softened the blow a bit too.
  12. I’m working on bringing in Ferguson cos Brighton went down so I can get him for ~£35m. I guess it depends on what you’re trying to get out of your tactic. But second half of the season, with Saka as a Winger that cuts inside really brought the best out of him.
  13. That seems off if I’m honest. Generally in cases like this, they would just lower the release clause and leave your improvements intact. Or in older FMs, lower the release clause and then increase the wage demand… I’m assuming you didn’t touch the agent fee?
