That's slightly annoying

Afternoon all, spologies if this has been answered before but I'm not feeling great and dont fancy trawling through threads gone by haha. For those who have had sons on this year's game, do you get any nod towards it in the intake preview? In the old system you could save and reload before intake day and possibly get a son through that. My save needs reinvigorating and this could be the tonic,.

Hello, does anybody know where I can find a database whee I can start it from the current standings? I dont wantr to doa full first season.

I have a question. In the youth intake preview do you get any indication if you are to get a son come through?

I have a quick question. I am trying to build an "empire" by having a merchandise affiliate and a youth academy affiliate in each of the 6 (obviously not counting Antarctica) continents as well as 2 clubs (one in the same nation and one abroad) where I can send players to develop. Is there a maximum number of affiliates a club can have? I'm on 8 now and the board don't seem keen to grant my request for another.

Its just a joy to watch mate. One of the preston commentators on radio said we were playing football from 2030.

Another masterclass from us yesterday.

Are there any non-negotiable attributes you look for when signing players?

He doesn;t really dribble with the ball, he get's forward off the ball. But, having said that, my view from where my seat is isn't the greatest for noticing tactical intricacies. Be interesting to see what other people have noticed.

Also, we have noticed Cullen has been getting forward a lot more when we attack but hes also the one who picks the ball up from the keeper/CB's.

Been waiting for someone to recreate the Kompany tactic. As a Burnley fan myself but far from a tactician, I've been wanting to use it for ages. What are the possession stats like?

Hi all. Is there a way to see what positions your affiliate clubs are looking to strengthen? Would help make more informed decisions when sending out players on loan.

Someone still needs to explain to me the logic behind changing the ongoing scouting focuses. It's baffling.

Id want at least 10m for my first choice goalkeeper but of course he is kickin off saying thats too much

Home and World: Hes a premier regular and current international Length of Contract: Two years left Type of contract: Key player Playing time: not missed a league game in two season Ergo, the guide is crap and has now caused issues in the dressing room and to one of my key players.

Are a joke. I have Aro Muric as my number one at Burnley. A young goalkeeper which good potential. He has played regularly in a championship-winning season and a prem season where we managed to stay up amassing 25 clean sheets across the two seasons combined. Yet, despite this, he is only "worth" between 1.3 - 2.7m according to the guides. Lazio had a bid of 1.4m rejected and now the player is unhappy and is causing disruption. It's a joke.

Does anybody know what type of affiliate you need to ask for, for the players to come through your intake? The questions when you request look a bit different this year (for example, i asked for an affiliate that improved our scouting knowledge but when the options came back none of them said players will come through as a benefit)

It's hard to keep track now

I still want to know why the "ongoing" reports aren't just one continuous list. It's baffling.

Hi, I am currently using a skin that utilises the city pics in the club info (I have always been fond of these types of skins) but I am not sure how to have it so it shows up in there and not the whole background. PLease can somebody advise.

It's ridiculously poor imo. No need to have "ongoing" focuses split into monthly lists. Just keep them in one list like it used to be.

It's annoying me how, even though my recruitment focus is set as ongoing, i still have loads of "completed" ones of the same focus. Why not just have all the scouted players in one list like before. Just needless clicking.

Yep. PLus (although I understand this to an extent being relatively unknown players over here) Zaroury and Vitinho need their CA upgrading. Especially Zaroury. Looks like a job for the pre game edutor.

I think the club culture from Burnley needs to be updated. No longer do we want to play "direct" football, we want entertaining possession football hence the sacking of Dyche and the arrival of Kompany. Also, I think a couple of our players need updating. For example, Ian Maatsen needs to be represented as arguably the best LB in the league. Vitinho needs to be able to play LB, Charlie Taylor has been playing as a CB, and Anass Zaroury has proven he's already a very bright prospect and already competent at this level of football - he gets listed for loan and has not been registered on the game. I think the key one is the culture and supporter playing style expectations though, given the complete overhaul of our style of play this season, t should be represented in the game too.

Inter have now released a third kit
