[[FM20]- Barnsley - Profit Over Points!]

I played a high tempo, high press 4-3-3, sometimes with a DM or AM instead of one of the midfield 3.

Ive altered it in my second season, noticed we conceded a lot due to balls over the top, and full-backs being out of position (realistic I must say). Currently sitting around 9th after ten games.

Looks like Schmidt might have a tiny upgrade actually for the full game and you can no longer sell him, coz someone's made him slightly worse (quite rightly may I add) .

Bambo's had a downgrade by the looks and I cba to look at the rest, I'm sure someone will know cough* @Adamm90 cough* 

Don’t have the list to hand but generally decreases for most with obvious exceptions being Mowatt and Woodrow. Halme and Collins had slight increases.

Disgraceful behaviour you'll be sacked for that 

I've done the unthinkable and signed a couple of 30 year olds on one-year contracts too.

Keep us updated on your new save @Jamesbfc1887

I finished 5th in my first season. I was comfortably top of the league until the end of January, then I struggled to win many games after that and fell down the table. Lost in the play-off semi final to Wigan.

I brought in Harry Toffolo from Lincoln (£400k), and both Aaron Connolly and Curtis Jones on loan. Sold Thiam for £750k, and let Pinilos leave on loan. I did bring in Herbie Kane in January for £900k, but he probably wasn't worth it. I'm really struggling to find any Championship standard players on wages we can afford.

Sibbick developed into a great fullback and actually got 3 England U21 caps. Whoever gave him his CA/PA has clearly never seen him play IRL.

Which of his attributes would you say aren't accurate? These are what dictate his CA, which currently make him our fourth choice central defender, and second choice right-back, on par with Jordan Williams. His PA is set as -7, as I genuinely don't know what to expect with him. It's a bit harsh to criticise him too much, after a third of a season in the Championship, he's only 20 years old. It's more likely to be his reputation that has caused him to be called up to the under-21s, and that will have increased if he's been playing regular football in the Championship.

If you've any comments on any of the Barnsley data in FM20 feel free to PM me and I'll take it on board. The data in the full release is slightly updated from what was in the beta.

[Early faves to manage FM20?]

Bolton, or hopefully Bury if they’re saved. Major rebuilding job required and point deductions for both.

It's still your first job in management though. In future versions, I'd like to see a starting option of 'experienced manager', and the game then makes up some fake history of your managerial achievements, this way it's more realistic to take over a big club in that scenario. At the moment, the best you can do is the equivalent of Wayne Rooney taking over at Real Madrid. 

EDIT - I know you've got coaching badges to start, so not exactly like Rooney, but you know what I mean. 

I thought you could now amend your previous managerial experience? Granted there isn't the option to add your seasonal history, but you can imagine that part in your head.
