  1. Only negatives I've noticed along the way is again squad development with the Old Firm, end up with players on mental wages and very average quality which has saw them sucked into everyone else clutches. Won my last title by 23 points over Kille and 30 over Rangers and Celtic. I had 92 points so still 9 games where I slipped up. So domestically I'm breezing and really playing for free titles and to hopefully see the old firm's demise financially. My other frustration has been AI's handling of tycoon takeovers. In any tier in Scotland this would benefit the club and there's been a few, which to be fair is realistic as it's happening more and more in world football. St Johnstone got one and got nearly relegated, Dundee with theirs got relegated and now have players on 22k in the Scottish Championship. Ayr United got one after 1 relegation back to the championship and have pretty much yo-yo'd since. Alloa got one in the championship, but now find themselves in a position where they got a few relegations and ended up in League two and the chairman has withdrew funding. Raith Rovers have just gotten one as they've been relegated to League one, so will be interesting how they go with this new influx of money. I must admit it's my beta save that's carried on and a lot of sides that drop down end up going Semi-Pro, but I've noticed in other saves post patch this still continued, so I don't think it's an issues as not all end up semi pro. As in someone like Ross County did but Falkirk did not.
  2. Opted to do my annual Motherwell save in anticipation for it go terribly and frustrate me for ages. Weirdly turned into my 2nd most successful Motherwell save ever and 12 seasons down already which is scary, although it was started in the beta. 4 league titles, 7 Viaplays and 2 Scottish Cups with Knockout stage football at least in every season since 25/26 whether it being the UCL, Europa or the Conference. One stint in the conference got to the semi's where we lost to Spurs, which weirdly got us qualification for the Club World Championship. I had a great start like real life and unlike real life where we've struggled from the striker crisis with the extra body in Lee Erwin I kicked on after the Old Firm double header. Ended up easy top 6, with a late downfall taking us to 5th. Unable to get Mika firing was frustrated but Shaw and Bair were surprisingly very good. Mugabi was a cheat code for corners. After season one I was continually 3rd, then 2nd in 28/29 before winning the title then bottling the next 2. Season 31/32 saw a horror show and us finish 4th, but won every title since. Building up was easy after the 1st season, good wheeling and dealing and loans. I always played a variation of the 3-5-2 we do in real life, so getting quality there was key, Montgomery from Celtic was fantastic so much I got a big sale out him after a few seasons, 68k for Liam Scales was great and going back to old FM hero Dale Taylor got me kicking on. John Fleck on a free was quality in the middle of the mid 3 and Sam Curtis as RWB was amazing after signing from St Pats. 2025/26 saw me get Van Persie in on loan, incredible business' and so good we never saw him again. Tom Bayliss and Sonny Perkins did a great job aswell continued to kick on. I then managed to £9m for Clinton Mola, Blair Spittal, Bevis Mugabi and Sam Curtis and that's when the newgens came, plus the free transfer of Thiago Helguera from Nacional. Recruitment from here was just as many youngsters as you can, improve them, punt them on and next. I now sit in 2035 with all those above accolades, the John Hunter Park as our home ground which will expand to 38k so we have to play at Hampden this year. Full maxed out recruitment, nearly 5 star facilities and £234m in the bank with £153m to spend. The wage budget is £1.6m which of course is unsuistanable and I spent just £763k of it. Many signings i make are which release clauses and usually aim to try get 20-40million pending on what can be agreed with the player then source the next talent. Scouting wise I actually don't do much, it's either shortlist from NXTgen list if at a smaller club, or a decent u23 player from an agent on deadline day where the player has at least B+ recommendation. That and of course I've had some fantastic talents come through intakes to the stage I regularly start to 17 year olds in 2035. The best intakes I've had in all my Motherwell careers I've ever had on FM. Any other info people want to know just ask and I'll try source it from my game or my twitter thread on it.
  3. Will my night consist of the FM Beta or will it consist of Lando and Nando doing Spa. Time will tell.
  4. I won't give away a name, but when I've saw one of them on it on steam, yeah it kinda gave it away lol.
  5. I think Tuesday looks good, quite a few youtubers going quiet. Head down and getting footage time for them.
  6. I can see it now, guy to his mate, "I've got the Alpha don't show or tell anyone." The other guy - "Ok mate," whilst winking like Eddie above.
  7. Biggest giveaway that it wasn't tonight was WTS doing a F1 stream, he's big enough i believe he'd have a nod if something was happening. I'd be surprised with a Friday, so I think Monday or Tuesday looks actually quite highly likely, the latter more so.
  8. I think I'd say FM13ish. The big breakthrough was Ascoli in Italy, they had a tycoon and they used to win title after title and frequent last 4 of the UCL. It gets tougher now in England, only really clubs in L1,L2 drop all the way down. Premier League is practically just a yo-yo now, so even 20-30 years in it's practically close to the same 20 bar one or two.
