  3. May 2025 Treble Winners! We did it lads! All the silverware we could hope for domestically. I'm super proud of this team. Unfortunately we are still only top 8 by media prediction and next year they expect a top 4 finish and to compete for either the Luxembourg Cup or the Super Cup. So we have to work just as hard and we have less wiggle room. End of Season: Schedule We finished the season with only 1 lose since the end of February. As well as only 2 dropped points in that time as well (11 games, nearly a third of the season). History We are master of Luxembourg. Now that we are top dogs we got to defend it. We finally made the favoured personnel list on our club page. As well as signed another contract this time we have seemed to have earned a two-year deal through the 26/27 season. Team Report I have never since it so succinctly out then in this team report. The current squad of players is .... slightly below average in the national division, and one of the weakest in Europe. First Team Bieleu and Jovanovic were awesome! Second Team Meanwhile Loua and Teah were invaluable and present all season long. I will have to finish typing this after a work meeting, but was so excited I had to post this result. Cheers!
  4. Will read the whole piece tomorrow, but on first sight I miss the Team Instructions/Player instructions.
  5. hi,There are many players of Indonesian descent whose data has not been updated from FM 23, some players such as Tjoe A On, Ragnar and Marten Paes, in fact they have officially been Indonesian players since last January and until now have not been updated at all.Please update the database so it can be fixed
  6. Thank you all. Always appreciate the feedback. As long as the game is fun then I'll continue playing it. The starting points of each season are always a bit of a slog. I'm finding that most of the benefit to youth development comes from two things: personality and game time. Poor personalities are almost insurmountable, I'm finding. I had two right backs come through one intake, I think it was the fifth - Cordero who had great attributes and a shocking personality, and Ferrer who had the opposite. I sold Cordero to Juve 3 seasons later and his attributes had barely moved. Ferrer is now a valuable squad member with over 2000 minutes this season. And then game time at the right level. It's a bit of a balancing act and knowing when to give people loan moves to decent leagues is a bit haphazard. The game time also has to be positive game time - preferably in a winning team. The morale boost seems to be important for development too. So I'll turn down any loan bids from teams that are predicted to finish in the bottom half of any second tier or lower. I think a title winning third tier campaign is going to boost a player more than a bottom half second tier season, regardless of training facilities. My basic model is under-19s until they're too old and then two years in the B-team to prove themselves before being promoted, but there's definitely scope for some accelerated promotion. Mostly I'm going with a 4-2-3-1 at the moment. This is driven by the personnel available - Javi is nothing but a left-winger, Quiñones is a classic 10, Aguirre needs to play as an AF and I have options to rotate on the right flank. I started off looking to play short passing at a higher tempo but have figured out that I actually want to play the opposite - direct at a lower tempo. I'm looking to draw teams out and then exploit the pace that we have in the front four. It's really working a treat. I have experimented with a switch to a 4-4-2 with double DMs. This is just due to the number of strikers I have coming through and the fact Quiñones can play at right mid as a playmaker to provide the balance. It looks like a viable option but I really don't want to experiment too much at the moment as we're having a rather successful time of it.
  7. I can't individually pick players to be registered, I use editor, I can register squad for Champions league but not for Serie A. Serie A issue started 2 matches before, before that I did not have an issue but suddenly it started. Selection Button are not active fopr some players. Pls see below 2 screenshots.
  8. Pro Vercelli are the original fallen giants. Cesena have fantastic youth setup but weren't as successful
  9. Can you guys help me with something: In the editor, I want to filter all affiliated teams and that's easy to do. But how can I filter only the only one who are not the main club, or even those which are. I tried adding the fields "ismc" or "type" on the the club filter file, but those won't help, it doesn't let me choose them on the editor. For example, in the search bellow I can filter all clubs who have B Teams in Spain, but what i really need in the results are only the B teams. Some are easy to spot, but when the search is big enough, it's just demanding.
  10. January 2029 3 additional months into the season, cross the half way points. How are we getting on with those marginal gains? The rest of 2028 went smoothly in the league, coupled with one more European victory against Bayer Leverkusen (not coached by Xabi Alonso at the moment). The league form pleased me in particular - 6 matches, 6 wins, 15 goals for, 3 goals against. Then in January - We saw off Bilbao away thanks to a brace from our Dutch striker Meendering. but then, we had a defining slate of fixtures ahead of us: It's all nice and well to beat the "other teams" in La Liga in successive fashion. However, as we've seen, Real Madrid do not blink. Coming into our match against them, we were tied on 53 points a piece in 20 matches. It didn't help that this match of the season got scheduled right between two do or die UCL fixtures, both away from home. To add to the challenge - our two best players - Roony Bardghji and Gianluca Prestianni, were going to miss that entire stretch. So, I decided to "give up" on Europe, and fielded our backups against Nice to keep our team fresh for Real. That didn't go well... We got thoroughly outplayed by the 7th place team in Ligue 1. The Valencia loanee Benito (class of 24') even came on for a cameo with 3 minute to go... Never mind that... we gave Real THE BUSINESS: And with 10 men for about 40 minutes, after Javi Guerra, our vice-captain, and scorer of the early goal, decided to lunge into a 2-footed tackle in the 54th minute. Our low possession stat is misleading, and is mostly driven by us being pinned back in the second half when we were a man down. In the first half, we had our way with Real in their half, and even when we lost the ball, we were in excellent pressing situations, which led to our 2 first half goals, both from final third interceptions. Here's the possession that led to our opening goal - We're building play from the back in a left-skewing 3-2. Navajas, the ball playing defender and at the top of the back 3, passes to ball to Kalu, our defensive midfielder, who then passes a nice line-breaker to Oger Meendering at the center of the front 5 (the right winger is out of the at the bottom of the screen). Our left side overload with Barco (top of the light blue line), the Rostoll, (The AP, in for the injured Prestianni), and Samardzic the BBM, is clear to see in the image. Kalu chose to pass into the middle in this case, however, I often excellent interplay in the left wing, which leads to someone freeing up with a through ball. Meendering can't hold on to the ball, but we have 4 players (including him) near by to immediately pursue the ball and counter press. The resulting blunder ended up with Javi Guerra and Meendering both heading towards goal with the ball at their (Guerra's) feet, with only the keeper left to beat. 1-0 Valencia! A minute later - we had another clear-cut-chance resulting from an interception in the final third, only this time Meendering's shot hit the post. Speaking of Meendering. No, he did not become our starter at striker. He started for Dosso because the latter was throwing a fit wanting a new contract. He's on ~€1.7m/year with 3 years left on his deal and is asking for 6 times that (€10-11m). He's incredible, and we can afford it if we keep our winning ways, but I am reluctant to break our squad wage structure for the guy given the depth we have behind him. We'll revisit come the end of the season. So - I was extremely pleased about beating Real. We proceeded to handily beat Shakhtar away and Barca at home as well. What a wild ride. With Barca - the match was a bit tighter, and they certainly had their chances, but I was confident in our strategy. They played their usual narrow 4-2-2-2 under Xavi, and we exploited the flanks by turning our IFB on the right into a WB(S), while providing extra cover in the middle with Kalu as a HB instead of a DM(S). In the UCL - unfortunately, as I suspected despite winning more in the second half of the league phase, it was "too little too late" and we had to bow out with a disappointing 9 points in 8 matches. We really have to figure out how to step up our European game. Since winning the Europa League in 2026, we've only been back to a round of 16 once. In the league, after 22 matches, we have the edge at the top of the table. Our head to head match (i.e. matches between us) is tied, so we'll need to beat them with more points. It may take 95+ points to win La Liga this season. Can we keep up this insane pace in the coming months?
  11. Today
  12. are you sure you changed the attribute colors from the preferences? Because i tried and it didn't work for me
  13. Quite. And that is something you see every weekend when crap teams try to imitate the playing style of the top teams.
  14. Congo Free State doesn’t happen, that’s the good news. It still will get messy, that’s the bad news.
  15. Clive English - Back to the motherland - APOP Geroskipou November 2035 A massive loss to APOEL on the first game of the month clearly hurt the team. After just scraping by ASIL in the cup, they came back with a vengance and beat Nea Salamina 2-0 at home to exact their revenge. In the reverse leg against ASIL, Geroskipou fell apart, losing 4-3 on the night and also in the ensuing shootout. As if things were not bad enough, a flurry of injuries hit the camp, and Geroskipou were down 7 players in and around the first team squad that missed out the Alki fixture in the league. The match started well with a brace from Mariano putting Geroskipou up 2-0, but then yet another short collapse saw them conceed 3 goals and Alki would not give up the lead. Table The slump in form sees the gap between Geroskipou and APOEL at 7 points. Fixtures It was a blessing in disguise that Geroskipou only now had the league to focus on now. Omonoia being the toughest match in December.
  16. Oh okay I see, thanks ! I have removed the boxes on the skin (I can't remember how i've done it but I'm pretty sure it was explained in this topic) & changed the colours of the attributes in the preferences
  17. Yeah, it was quite a blow, especially since Bayern sneaked in a 50% sale percentage. I actually have two players; both play in a similar style. Large, physical, and complete players who can perform the Complete Forward role. First off Hugo Ekitiké from PSG on loan with a very reasonable €6.75M optional future fee. He has been rather underwhelming, to say the least, with 14 games, 1 goal, 1 assist, and a 6.57 average rating. The other is the Albanian Armando Broja, also on loan. He has a hefty €75M optional future fee, which I will not afford. He started brilliantly, scoring a hat-trick on his debut. But then he tore his knee ligaments leaving him out for 3 months.
  18. It's one reason why I've stopped reporting things now. It's clear something weird happens with scheduling. After sending so many examples of teams having the same fixture list and the frequency of teams playing each other back-to-back - I get told basically nothing is wrong there. I stream. It takes me, literally, 2mins to show my viewers the schedules from leagues all around the world and how often it happens. I even sent them (SI) a screen recording of me opening FM, and starting a new save, look at Everton and Brentford fixtures and see they have the same fixture list. Little effort to reproduce it but somehow, hard for them to see an issue. Got to show some care in this area after so many years.
  19. I just heard DR Congo and changed up due to changes to colonialism, and my thoughts jump to The Congo Free State, and thus to old Leopold II and his, well let's keep this suitable for the forum, rather exploitive and cruel reign there.
  20. Is there a specific reason why you are now allowed to free up foreign roster spots on Non-Mexican born players if they gain Mexican nationality? IRL no matter what you need to be born in Mexico to not fill up a foreign roster spot even if you represent Mexico internationally.
  21. Well, a quick Google shows that they have a comparable population to Andorra, and much more than nations that 'compete' in FIFA and UEFA competitions (such as Faeroe Islands and San Marino). Their population is actually approaching 3x that of San Marino! I'm not saying that they would do anything remarkable, but given the strong football history of the rest of the British Isles, I daresay they could compete with the minnows currently in Europe - at least to such an extent that they're not embarrassed in a Nations League group.
  22. Your opinion isn't mentioned here for the first time. And I agree with it. Something came up into my mind. I hope that SI hasn't made their mathematical stuff too complex. And, yes, I do understand, that in the game engine aso. there are many attributes that have to be taken into account. But, you can remember that last autumn there were this crisis with GK injuries... Could it be that those calculation formulas are too complex, and therefore a little change in one of the variables could change the result a lot? That could also explain why SI would be a little bit afraid to make changes.
  23. There is a pc/laptop thread where you can post what you think you need and the people there will be able to point you towards a laptop that will run the game and editor quite nicely. Since that thread is full of good advice best to ask there.
  24. If you remember you old username if there was one and i will ask the powers that be if they can find anything
  25. I started a save with a Spanish Tercera division Professional club. The starting finances were only 23 Euro and remaining wage budget could not get me any staff or players. The team has a total of 15 real players and 3 grayed-out players. It would appear that with only 18 players in the squad, the 34 game season would be very tiring to the players, despite the youth intake happening sometime in spring. I suggest the 18 grayed-out player limit be increased to 25 players for active leagues only.
