It has been very interesting actually. They are run quite efficiently with a concept in place. Austria is also interesting to play in with their league rules that are a bit different than the usual point system only. Good luck.

First, nice thread and thank you for putting it up for all those who play in the Bundesliga. With respect to Schalke. I played with them last year and they have huge debt and for the squad you can see that there is no clear concept as there were several managers and even in FM you can see that no style really fits. So it is a great team to rebuild and bring back top. I for myself, after playing with Manchester United in the beta selected RB Leipzig as a first (I usually stayed away from them but it has been a while now and maybe I can get them the first title and since I have never played with them it is an interesting change.

@Gee_Simpson for some reason it did not let me continue in the previous post. Leverkusen is always a great save to try to finally, finally get the title.

@Jimpanzee Lino is an excellent prospect. @Mackem742 Good luck with Wolfsburg. Great Squad. I have had many saves with them ever since Grafite and Dzeko being part of their squad. @LucasBR I have had several injuries adding up one after another all of a sudden as well. But great position with Stuttgart. @Gee_Simpson

@Jimpanzee Romano Schmid has been outstanding so far. He is top in training for weeks now, his attributes are going up and he is constantly one of the best and most dangerous players on the pitch for me. @WoodyFM I am not exactly sure but I did a quick search. It seems it depends on the reputation of the 2nd team and whether there are lower leagues. I think for Germany, you can add lower leagues but you would have to start the game with them or use the editor, otherwise it seems it would take a while for the team to "naturally" have the reputation to climb high enough (probably recruit good players for the team so they can succeed and rise). @FCArsenal Yes, that is the challenge to stop Bayern Muenchen . You already played so many years, nice. I am still in my first season. 4th place the 1st year with Stuttgart is very, very good.

Amazing skin. Just brilliant. I just wanted to let you know. I linkes my laptop to my big screen and there it works with 1920x1080 and 85% zoom out without changing the magnifying of the laptop to 100% :). Just in case others have the issue.

Hi, no worries, I just play sometimes in German but might switch back to English since I can't seem to be able to see the attributes I like right away And you were right, it was set at 125%. I changed it to 100% and I can see the stats now. thank you.

1920x1080 and 85% as advised.

I did as instructed but with 1920 and 85% still nothing showing. Otherwise amazing skin. Thank you.

Just saw this.

I have the same. 1920res with 85% zoomed out but no numbers.

Good luck with the Saarbrücken save. I don't know much about them, so looking forward to updates. Stuttgart is always a great choice. They also have a very good youth system. I think they can stay up with what they have. Bochum and Schalke are probably the most difficult, although Schalke has pretty decent players (not many young ones though, so an overhauls is necessary there as well). I am about to start my first game of the 2nd half in January against Köln. Unfortunately, there was no transfer activity except for sending players on loan. Zetterer the backup GK wanted a new contract and more involvement. I told him I would talk about it end of the season. He insisted now. (--> right click, squad, Werder II + Offer to Clubs). I brought in a young GK to replace Pavlenka in 2 years or so, who is already almost as good as Zetterer. So, bye bye, good luck with the contract negotiations elsewhere. I am itching to see my transfer budget end of the season as I have a list of players to bring in and improve the squad. You can see that there are constant trainer changes as there is different ideas with the different types of players. They had wingers but then little back up and play a more 532 style. Similarly with the Strikers, they have rather slow but tall/stronger types and then they have a small fast one and one who just has good physicals and nothing else. I already have replacements for the main strikers and back up strikers to improve this side.

This is a clean overview. Very nice.

Winter Transfer window opened, and they gave me a whopping EUR 350,000. I put it towards the wage budget so I can extend those contracts that I need to extend. I have already several players in line to buy, depending how much they will give me . The defense looks great, so unless some teams poach someone, I can keep those in tact. The trouble is the scoring, although that has improved lately as well. I have, however, found players who will improve on both Duksch and Füllkrug with little transfer budget but will also require the same or less wage than those two. Currently sitting 14th and the second half of the season is about to start. Stand out player so far, Romano Schmid.
