Reading loads of great articles for FM24 (then realised this was for FM23) and searched for Regista articles. Not many about and after reading Cleon's excellent description of the role I was determined to get it working. Currently at Dortmund rebuilding them and love this role and after 2 seasons feel like it is finally clicking. We are only in October but I bought Van Hees to play this role and he is starting to produce. Sorry for bumping an old thread but wasn't sure about creating a new one and the info in here is still relevant.

Found this on VFTT and had to come here to comment. What an brilliant in-depth explanation of a footballing philosophy put into FM practice. I have recently taken the Dortmund job on my FM24 save and this absolutely fantastic work has helped me no end in deciding a way of playing and restore the youth back at Dortmund. Bravo Sir.

Just completed a season where Liverpool were relegated. They had a 9 point deduction due to going into administration and were out the relegation zone a couple of times but their lack of players I think caused tiredness and in the end they went down. I did take advantage at the start of that season and buy their DM, and after they went down went in and grabbed their RB wonderkid. Going into their season in the championship the squad still looks a bit threadbare, and with 46 league games coming up, they might struggle again. Edit: I am in season 2038 ( I think, not got the game loaded just now).

At the end of season 5 and after 2 defeats in previous finals by Real Madrid we finally lifted the Champions League. Beat Real in the quarters and Barca in the final, marked the end of this side I built as a few are in the last year of their contracts and I do not want to pay anyone over £200k a week. Offers are starting to come in but I have invested in a few youth regens that are looking the part with 3 or 4 coming through the academy. Struggled with the CL squad registration as I went to win it and this is the rebuild and reset time. Well, I did make an exemption for Simone Pafundi and gave him £225k a week as he is 5 stars and just incredible. It is a 5 year deal so wont be negotiating half way through as don't want to end up like City who have a number of players on £350k a week and over. Also finally got a takeover this season, just as most of the debt was finally paid! Brazilian tycoon came in, upgraded all facilities and stadium expansion. Also £6.5m wage budget (I am currently £4.6m) and transfer budget of £250m. Tempted to go all in for Bellingham, but that wage cap will be blown away....
