Football Manager 2021 Match Screens Mod Welcome to my Match Screens Mod for Football Manager 2021. A little delayed as it took a lot longer than expected and the recent patch didn't help either hopefully they should be stable but if you come across any issues let me know. Workshop versions will go up in the next few days (once it's stabilized from the Winter Sale). As you may have noticed FM21 has re-worked the match screens, so I have rebuild the Match Screens Mod from scratch keeping the functionality of the new FM21 screens whilst adding in some more customization options as

Not sure if I am going to get a chance to say this in the next couple of days, and this is the tactical forums, and we seem to frown hard on non tactical threads, but as I sit here I be thinking... Have a merry merry christmas everyone, this has been a hard year for everyone, don't let the game or anything in life frustrate you. Learn to step out into the sun and enjoy what you have and I hope that the universe and whatever greater power you believe in bestows on you each and every wonderful thing you wish for in this world.

known issue Youth Intake Broken Just Like Beta
Sir_Liam replied to jt361's topic in All Other Gameplay
Since I discovered this bug I've run 3 tests with the same setup for 50 years. One in FM2020, one in FM2021 before the 21.2 update, and one after the 21.2 update. The setup is England loaded all the way down to National North/South, and a large database. There's no advanced options selected, and no database editing had taken place. The numbers are as follows: FM2020 / FM2021 before 21.2 / FM2021 after 21.2: Start: 17167 / 17286 / 17287 10 Years: 17724 / 12995 / 16530 20 Years: 16277 / 9048 / 15602 30 Years: 15208 / 7708 / 14879 40 Years: 14248 / 7603 / 150 -

Andrew James replied to jt361's topic in All Other Gameplay
Thanks again for all the info and data posted on this. It's likely that a lot of these issues were actually present in FM20, but something in FM21 has made them far more extreme in certain cases. We think it's possible it may be due to an increase in the number of dual and multi nationality newgens that generate in the game this year, which is having a knock-on effect to the player count for each nation. As has been established, different nations and different db setups all seem to be affected in different ways, so I want to assure you that we're trying to find a way to balance every -

I'm hopeful once we get a fix it's something that could be included in a minor update, but there are too many factors in play to make any promises or put a time frame on that unfortunately. I'll try to keep you all updated with any developments on this front. -

Excelsior Maassluis 2037/38 Season Review We couldn't repeat our title success this season, even though we had the chance, several times. We didn't know how to lose, but we also didn't know how to win very winnable games which was frustrating. We had a nightmare run home in the last three games, with the first two against Utrecht and PSV. Luckily, they were at home and we won both, but we couldn't beat lowly Heerenveen which cost us the title. The top 3 were inseparable, which would've been great to watch for the neutral. Performance wise I was pretty happy, -

Widzew Lodz (FM20) Season 1 (2020-21) - Review On the pitch Starting 11 for 2020/21 season Fortuna Liga I - Winners. We were predicted to finish ninth, but this felt a little too low. We had a sluggish start, probably in part due to the team getting to know my tactic and not respecting their unqualified former sunday league manager, but once things picked up they never really stopped. It was a great league campaign, bettered only by our shock performance in the cup... Polish Cup - Winners. WOW, this looks very impressive and it is tempting to just leave -

AFC Rushden & Diamonds Season 2031/32 review Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances I really expected us to do worse than we did, but I'm very happy about it. I should note that we had an excellent start of the season, and we fell a bit back towards the end of the season. For a long time we looked to reach the playoffs, but in the end a few too many draws dropped us down. Even with a drop in results towards the end it was still a great season for us. As long as we are nowhere near relegation, I'm really happy. I've gotten approved an expansion of the stadium, so when it's done we w -

We started the season with the same tactical approach, the opening two losses didn't worry me too much, and after 10 games we were comfortably in the hunt for promotion. Our form was not as consistent as you would like in a team chasing for a title and eventually, I resigned myself to the realisti -
UK Politics Thread - The Empire Strikes Back
PaulHartman71 replied to Lucas's topic in Off Topic Forum
Brexit was the great equaliser in turning the traditional Labour towns and areas against Labour. Very difficult to see how even post-Brexit that goes back. If Brexit is a disaster they just blame it on Macron, Merkel and the rest of the EU. But what Brexit also did, and which is probably the only thing you could really say Dominic Cummings has ever done that was anything close to Machiavellian genius, was getting in loads of people who never voted before or didn't bother voting because they didn't care about politics or felt all politicians were the same and didn't stand for them.

Not sure this post is that wise given we know there are people who are struggling mentally with the situation, but I don't even think its rooted in reality that much. If you compare where we were 9 months ago we're in so much of a better situation. We now know how to defeat this virus, it's just (heh) a matter of getting the manufacturing and distribution sorted out. But given how this is wrecking the global economy, I think its just a matter of time before we brute force our way through this.

Season 27/28 Update Promotion! We carried on our form from the tail end of back year and absolutely stormed the league. It only took me 7 years and a god of a regen at centre back, but we finally found a winning formula that suited the players. We finished top comfortably by 12 points. We also finally managed to conceed on average less than a goal a game. A stat I think would be higher was it not for the ******** amount of goals that seem to be scored in this game after the 85th minute mark, now matter how defensive or if you just stay with the same tactic. I also won the Serie C cup, so -

A.C.N. Siena 1904 - 2025/26 Season Review Any other season, I know for a fact that I would have been finishing in 10th place. The one season I am level on points with a side that has beaten me twice, is the year that it'll determine who finishes in 10th place. Had we won, we would have finished in 9th place due to results between teams with Sambenendettese. It's an improvement from last season for sure, but to have gotten 58 points and miss out on results between teams on a chance to get promoted is very disappointing, especially after the strong start we had to the beginning of the -
China, Taiwan, Singapore , South Korea. All been back to normal since April. They had a testing that worked. They isolated cases far quicker than us. They closed their borders quick too. When you landed in places like China you were physically lead to a hotel to isolate for 14 days. None of this just tick a box to say you are going to do it. I mean they managed to contain Wuhan in matter of months build a hospital in 10 days and pretty much stopped it spreading to 3.6 billion people or how many they have.

Well done Boris. You didn't lockdown when SAGE told you to back in September. You didn't listen when Keir Starmer told you to in October. You ploughed on into November when you thought a lockdown would save Christmas. You gave a little in December only to **** up Christmas. And in January, February and March we'll be in lockdown with the hope to chill in April.

To add to that, it's incredibly important that people don't buy into the Government's spiel that there were no alternatives or other ways of dealing with this other than the way they did.

I mean New Zealand is pretty much entirely back to normal and I assume we're not going be accusing them of hiding things. Until very recently all my pals in Australia were having an absolutely glorious time. There are many Asian nations having a lovely time. Don't mistake the West's utter mishandling of everything related to the pandemic to suggest that there isn't a route out of this.

Season 2 Energie Cottbus Season Review ~ 2022/23 Into the playoffs for the first time! An improvement of 11 points on last season exceeded my expectations and prediction of +7. I really could have gone up automatically, and I thought that I had done so. Going into the final day, I was only behind Magdeburg on GD. Magdeburg was away against top of the table Hansa Rostock, who were already champions. At home to a lower mid table team, I was up 4-0 after 20 minutes. I went on to win the game. Anyways, I had begun to celebrate after the game, because I didn’t see any updates for th -

Yep. It appears even if your full back has defended his life out, cleared 5 balls off the line, won 20 of his 20 headers... if he is in a tactic that plays hoofball and his pass completion isn't over 90% he's down to a 5.8! The player rating system doesn't seem to reward defending, only attacking. Loving the game this year, and the ME and I'm very picky. Just a shame it seems it's hard to give any value to player ratings which makes scouting and assessment very difficult. Especially combined with the UI changes which make stats a lot less accessible and heavily bugged at the moment,
