Leipzig are an extremely interesting save, as is the whole Red Bull football family. Been thinking of doing a sort of Red Bull challenge myself to bring them all to the top, but currently too busy with my Austria Wien save.

This year I’ve been loading every league on View Only with only top 5 European leagues plus Brazil and Argentina on playable. Plus loaded all players. I’m now 7 years into my Hamburg save and the only time I get any real lag is Transfer Deadline Day. Only gripe I have is the view only leagues don’t hire new managers after they sack them

Can’t recommend Germany enough, the constant battle to topple Bayern is always fun. In my current save they are close to signing Haaland which will make an already overpowered squad unbelievably good. Dortmund always do well in my saves over there also. Fun league with not much fixture congestion. Plus the Cup is extremely fun and something I’ve always gone for every save.

Morgalla from 1860 Munich is a must if he's available. Still playing for me now in the 6th season

That’s what l’m suggesting. As these areas are more than likely “Safe Standing” or rail seating should they be coded as such so the ground can use full capacity? Or should there be an option that the club goes all seater?

Ok maybe i should of worded better. Example HSV have a capacity of 57k in there ground, But will only ever get 47K max for champions league games. They close behind the goal. Please see pictures below: No planned extension to ground.

Season 5 update. So close yet so far to stopping Bayerns path of dominance. We fell in the final 3 games. The Real Madrid job has become available as there manager has moved onto Man City and after the interview process they have offered me the job. With Bayern now linked with big money moves (Haaland being the major one) i just don't know how i will keep up. So many big clubs after my best players now but with 75m to spend maybe we can carry on. Long think needed about this.

Neuer just retired in my save at age 40. I think they have this pretty spot on.

Season 4 is done. What a season this was. Lukas Nmecha bringing us much needed goals as Glatzel has gone off the boil big time. Endrick (of course he was signed, it's the thing to do before the update) has been hit and miss but will be getting more game time as a striker this season. Looks like Seimen will be off for his RC of £62m. I need to find a new GK for our Champions League campaign next season. There is plenty of interest in Nmecha also from Real Madrid which is worrying. Plenty of work to do in the summer.

Season 3 is done. What a season we had but I'm still so disappointed. We missed out on Europe on the last game of the season and got knocked out of 2 semi finals. Plenty of work to do be done in the summer. We must improve against some of the smaller sides!

Yes everyone of them wanted improved deals with me also. Hamburg are paying low wages in comparison to lot of BL clubs.

And now he has a 2 year doping ban IRL 😂

I'm almost at the end of 2024-2025. Mario has been brilliant for me so far playing as a CB. I feel he has developed into an all rounder. Would his future be better served in a midfield role? I have a chance to bring another CB (Arrey-Mbi) who has great physicals, to go along with Morgalla and Thiaw. I also have Agyekum who is developing really well. Should i pass on Arrey-Mbi and keep Mario where he is or move him into a DLP or even a B2B? Thoughts?

RB Leipzig have red seats now in there ground. Will this be in FM24?

Second season is done. Fantastic season all round. European football next season and a cup win!

Glatzel is a beast. Get him signed to a new contract asap. Always big clubs fishing around him. this video, he used Norwich so it’s a good listen and goes over the 1st 5 seasons so you can see the evolution of the tactic. I’ve started adding my own tweaks now to suit.

Jatta is brilliant. His Physicals mate up for his lack of technicals. Started as a 4-3-3 DM using RDFs 4-3-3 video he put up recently. It explains the evolution as you go up to a top league. As you can see below, heart-breaking. Morgalla at 1860 München is a must buy. Also Miklebrencis develops well as a Wing Back. Onto the final run in of the second season now. Lots of the 1st season squad remain, managed to get Amiri on loan from Bayer 04 who has been brilliant as a B2B keeping Reis out. My DOF has managed to get Julian Draxlar and Diego Demme on free transfers for next season to add some much needed class and experience to my side. On the look out for a top centre back to partner Morgalla going forward. Looking to move Vuskovic to DM as i feel his attributes fit the role as a more all rounder, but he may struggle to get infront of Demme. Really enjoying this save had some fantastic results this season, beating Dortmund 3 times and coming from 2-0 against Bayern to win 3-2! Now onto the final league games and another semi in the Pokel!

HSV is a brilliant save. I’ve done one on the past 4 FMs. I started again after my previous post (pre-update) stormed the 2. Bundesliga and made it to the final of the Pokel, only to lose 1-0 in the final to Bayern in the last min. Heartbreaking. Second season going really well so fair. Current in 6th place in the running for CL. Fernandes just picked up a 6 week injury right as we are about to hit the final run in, hopefully Raab can step up. Paul Wanner on loan from Bayern is a great pick up if you can get him. I will post some screenshots later.

Got £7m in the second season. Most of the current squad have promotion wage increases so it does send you wage budget sky high
