After almost 10 seasons in my current save here is my stats. 2024/25 Lost to Accrington in the FA Trophy 3rd round - 0/1 2025/26 Won over Weston-Super-Mare in the FA Trophy 4th round - 1/2 Won over Wealdstone in the FA Trophy 5th round - 2/3 2028/29 Won over Wolves u21 in the EFL Trophy group stage - 3/4 Lost to Doncaster in the EFL Trophy 2nd round - 3/5 2029/30 Won over Fleetwood in the EFL Trophy group stage - 4/6 Won over Port Vale in the EFL Trophy group stage - 5/7 2031/32 Won over Sunderland in the Carabao Cup 1st round - 6/8 And those are all the penalty shootouts I've played in so far in this save. I've won 6 out of 8, so 75% win rate. Perhaps, and this is key, your penalty takes have low pressure attributes, or low big match attributes. I'm suggesting this, since you specifically talk about finals and other big matches. These attributes, as well as consistency is very important if you want players to show up in the big matches. If you have spineless weaklings who crumble under pressure then I can't say I'm surprised. Also, we human are extremely poor at understanding probability and the gamblers fallacy comes into play. If you've flipped a coin 10 times and it's been heads every time, what is the probability of it being heads the next time you flip? The probability of getting heads on any single coin flip is always ~50%. Each flip of a fair coin is independent of the previous flips, so the fact that you've gotten heads 10 times in a row doesn't change the probability of getting heads on the next flip. It's still ~50%, regardless of the past outcomes.

Football Manager 2024 Official Feedback Thread
XaW replied to Kyle Brown's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Glad the game cheats in my favour then! If you see yourself being outscored against worse teams regularly, you need to change what you are doing, not blame the game for your own shortcomings as a manager. It's more than possible to avoid it happening often. Once in a blue moon, anything can happen, but if it's a trend, you can change it, but you can only change it if you acknowledge it an not just try to shift the blame. -

Yeah, that looks fine then! That's the place I usually check to make sure the team I want can be used! -

What do you see if you go into the season summary for Finland and see who is promoted from "lower divisions" or what it's called? That should make it clear, hopefully. -
Without knowing the details, I'd wager this is the opinion of two different staff members who just disagree. If you think it's a bug, then please post it in the bug tracker. Personally, I like that staff have different opinions as it makes is less clear and thus more realistic. Saying that, I think the game should be better at explaining the that staff are not right or wrong, they are just offering their opinion.

Ja, driver på med det, men har en ca million errors og begrenset med tid. Som sagt, den filen over skal ha alt annet enn de siste feilene jeg har fikset, så det er bare å aktivere nedover og rydde feil om du vil ha det fortere! Driver med en unge på to år, jobb, samt bryllup i sommer, så da blir den ekstra tiden til å rote rundt i editoren litt begrenset, men fikser en feil her og der, så det kan hende den kommer ut en gang! -
Here are a few "smaller" ones who were created at clubs there: And these are just a few I found looking for a few minutes. They are not all world beaters, but playing at the top league after being generated at clubs in their home country. And I've also stayed away from countries like Iran, Qatar, etc as they have bigger clubs...

I didn't know this happened in the game, but as such, I'd think the latter choice would be the right one, holidaying an extra season. My suggestion though, and I'll concede if @darren1983 says otherwise. -

It looks like you started with a National C lisense... You need to start without one, sorry. -

James Nash 31a is now considered a wonderkid! And considering he is already a "decent PL player" and my staff think he can improve a lot makes me hope he is a world beater, and I just tied him down to a 3+3 year deal! -

My first match in the Premier League was a good result too! But I think we will struggle this season... the Premier League is really hard!
