CrashOverride Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Im a fair few seasons in now and been a on a great run of competitions finding myself with the World Club Championship Winners, League Cup Winners, FA Cup and Champions leauge Semi Finalists meaning lots of EPL fixtures have been moved again and again. I've now realised I have 4 EPL fixtures in the last week of the season and 3 in 5 days. Has anyone else had this issue when progressing in multiple competions? There werent any cup replays eitehr thankfully. I just have to hope my squad stays fit as I'm still fighting for Champions League qualification as it stands. I cant remember any club in real life having such a congested fixture list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickdc Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yeah, don't suppose you could do a Utd and dump the FA Cup either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbohotdog Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It is tough luck for doing so well. No club irl wins all competitions year after year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 It is tough luck for doing so well. No club irl wins all competitions year after year Its not year after year. I'm normally out the leuage cup in the 3rd round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbohotdog Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Fair enough but still you keep getting to the later parts of tournaments hence the congestion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossbarchallenger Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I had this "problem" in my third season as Liverpool, although I didn't have the Club World Championship like you did. - Finished third in my European Cup Group, but won the UEFA Cup - Two FA Cup replays against Championship sides - FA Cup finalist, but lost to Stoke on penalties - League Cup semi-finalist (two legs, of course), but lost to Spurs - Finished second in the league At one point, I had three senior strikers injured and had to play Markovic up front, as well as signing an emergency left winger in January because two options in that position got injured. At least nobody complains about lack of first team action! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilgreb Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 If you compete on multiple fronts, and especially if some games are postponed/you get a replay, then it will often be like hell at the end of the season, with fixtures every other day or worse for weeks. It's really been like this for some years, and I don't understand why. Is this really that hard to fix? It would of course never happen in real life.

baboyray Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Just had this tonight. I had a huge run of games with just 1 day between matches. World Club championship and cup replays screwed me. I got to April and it's was just a massive run of games with 1 day inbetween. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puni Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 If you compete on multiple fronts, and especially if some games are postponed/you get a replay, then it will often be like hell at the end of the season, with fixtures every other day or worse for weeks. It's really been like this for some years, and I don't understand why. Is this really that hard to fix? It would of course never happen in real life. If you were to go all the way in all competitions and had the Club World Championship to compete in as well? Yes, it would. The only reason it doesn't is because it rarely, if ever, happens in real life. Just to give an example, In Barcelona's first season under Pep they won the Treble. They played 62 games that season, not including friendlies. Barça had 4 months where they played 8 or 9 games, which comes down to a game roughly every three days. And that is without a Supercup, League Cup and Club World Championship to play in, which would mount it to an excessive 75 games or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca72 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I have played 3 games in 5 days on a number of occasions in the last 2-3 years on my save. It's the price you pay for success I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike013 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 If your squad is that strong the bench should also be strong enough to play with a B-side against the lesser teams. Time to give those promising 4-5 star youngsters their first team experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing two games virtually every other day towards the end of the season in FM is certainly excessive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
