    i think it's under the history tab, i haven't used the skin for a while though as ive been working on other projects though 

    Thanks , I've had a look but yeah it seems to be missing, the "Overview" section of the History page has two tabs "League History" and "Club Background" but the club's favoured personnel doesn't appear there. Not a huge deal but would be a nice to have. 

    Hope other projects doesn't mean Work The Space is working you too hard , unless you are doing more F1 Manager skins ;-) 

    You are a very talented guy!

    The Premier League's television deal with UK broadcasters is believed to be worth a staggering £6.7billion, a four per cent increase from the current value. This Boxing Day will see Amazon Prime show games as well as another mid-week round of contests.

    The only information about money is that vaule. Not a big increase, but...

    Not sure about that source. Amazon have no deal, there were 5 available , Sky got 4 (which is the maximum allowed) and TNT (BT Sport as was) got the other one. Boxing Day fixtures will be on Sky

  3. I don't think you can be expected to include the new TV deal Lionel, its literally just been announced tonight. No Amazon games, more on Sky than before but no details of money have been released as far as I can see. TNT (Formerly BT) will have 12.30PM on Saturday, and two mid week fixtures. Sky will be showing more games on Friday and Monday and all the final day fixtures will be live. Two games at 2PM on Sunday and the usual 4.30 game Starting in 2025

  4. Did you make him the out and out owner and remove the Glazers altogether? The rating that controls takeovers has always been Board and Fan Confidence, change that to 200 and you should be fine, unless you have already done that of course. Check to see if all the Glazers have gone or also have Board and Fan confidence at 200. If so then it sounds like its hardcoded but it would be unusual for then to do that

  5. Great skin as always, you do some great work, one small thing I found is it doesn't show that you are doing a coaching course where it says what licence you have. 

    Also a quick question, Work The Space always has a different screen for the squad planner from a couple of versions ago, is that available? He has it so it shows more players for each position

    I have not seen any issues with loan rules.

    Here is a example

    The issue I have when I use it is I can't loan from a team in the same division as me, regardless of whether I am in a level 9 league or the Premier League. It's not an issue I have ever had before the last version. I will try the update, it's an awesome job you do, I love using it . 

    EDIT: I tested the new file, the issue I have is in the screenshot , loans not allowed between Premier League teams. Not sure what the rules are in Level 7 and below but down to Conference North/South level loans are allowed between teams. As I say it's only recently this issue has surfaced. Hope this helps, I'm looking forward to tackling a Guiseley save to try and get them to the Football League

  7. So frustrating now, I've realised its the momentum and confidence that's the issue rather than the tactic I was using . It's always been a feature that player's confidence and morale affects performance , as it should be of course but I think its overpowered now. For example after struggling with the wide tactic and using Inverted Wingers/Inside Forwards after the Leicester result I mentioned. I created a tactic using a DM as Deep Lying Playmaker (Marc Roca) and two central midfielders, usually Adams and McKennie, two Shadow Strikers as AMCs, Harrison and Gnonto with Bamford as a Pressing Forward. This would be September time in game , I just missed out on European Qualification that season by a point or two. A defeat to Man Utd in the last game meant I finished 9th instead of 7th but still beating the board's expectations. 

    I start season 2 in great style a few new players in, I win 5 of my first 6 games , including Liverpool and Chelsea at home, my loss was Man City away so tough start. The loss to Man City was followed by a draw at home and then the defeats started, I now can't buy a win. Just seemed that one defeat followed by a couple without a win and my team's confidence and morale just fell like a stone. I tried a few team meetings and the player messages were all positive, they loved it! Then they go and lose 3-0 at home to bottom of the table Norwich!!! 

    I know AI teams do adapt to your tactics but I do alternate at times and change certain aspects even if the formation is similar.

    Post your tactic up @NeilUK, see if there's anything obvious you can tweak

    If you say the wide areas are Leeds strengths, focus on those, maybe a 4-3-3 with a DM letting the wingbacks go forward, or a 4-2-3-1 DM with Rodigo in a supporting role could work well  

    Thanks Johnny, yes my old tactic in the previous game was focused on the wide players with overlap because Leeds' full backs are known for getting forward (defending not so much!!) but this update seems to have changed everything. The wide play doesn't seem to be working now, if I'm honest I think it was overpowered before. Harrison would often end the season with 30 or more goals from the Inverted Winger role. They just seem to have been a bit brutal with it now, I'll find a tactic I can settle on and post it , at the moment I am changing them too often. As an aside, JoshDaly on YouTube has posted that he will have to re-do the Leeds tactic he did after the update so it does seem to have changed things. 

    I did just score 4 goals away at Leicester, problem is they scored 6!!! I made Patson Daka look like Mbappe!!

  9. I am also really struggling after the update, I have tried creating my own, using downloaded tactics, nothing seems to work. I know bad runs of form are famously difficult to get out of in FM but this is crazy. Has the new update "nirfed" Gegenpress?

    I was managing Leeds before the update on a 5 year save and all was fine, mid table the first couple of seasons and then I started qualifying for Europe.

    My last season I got to the final of the Champions League (well beaten by Real Madrid) After the update I decided to start a new save, managing Leeds again but also a second manager trying to get Scarborough back through the leagues.

    Things aren't doing too badly with Scarborough but with Leeds it's relegation struggles and currently can't buy a win.

    The tactic I used to use with Leeds was Gegenpress , Inverted wingers on Support (AMR and AML) Full backs with WB role (best role for my full backs according to the advice) tried a Mezzala and BWM in central midfield , also tried 2 BWM, the best role for my two central midfielders are BWM according to the advice. Adams and McKennie . 

    I have also tried a tactic from JoshDaly on YouTube where he created a tactic based on BielsaBall , simulated a season by going on holiday and finished top 4! I tried that but still , maybe slightly better but still struggling near the bottom of the table. 

    (Separate question : Is it a thing that teams get better results on simulated than playing the games?)

    I then tried creating a narrow tactic with no wingers , Bamford as Pressing Forward and Rodrigo as an AMC with Shadow Striker role, still no real improvement and I don't really want to use a narrow tactic as Leeds have so many pacy wide players. 

     

  10. Love this file, great work every year @lionel messi , one thing I am finding and not sure if I did something wrong but I can't loan between divisions. At first I thought it must be a rule which applies to the division I was in. I started as Guiseley (Level 7 I believe) but I always play as two managers. My second manager is in the Premier League with Leeds and I can't loan from other Premier League clubs either. Is it something I did wrong when setting up the game somehow or is it a bug? 

    Also , being very thick here , how do you check the version? I downloaded the one currently on the thread to be safe but I think it was the one I was already using. 

  11. Probably me doing something wrong but not sure what, I have used this file before (probably before the last patch and file update) and all was fine. Now when I open in editor it says everything is verified but when I try and select the leagues in a new game they leagues below Conference North/South are missing. No error icons just missing. When I try and test the rules in the editor all the 10 leagues it pops up pretty much immediately saying I only have 784 clubs for the FA Cup and need 796?

    Any ideas?
