I can understand it, my tactic can have between 30%-70% possession without me doing anything different, I find it impossible to impose any sort of style on the ME or really understand what / if anything is wrong - fragile is the way I would describe it.

My saving grace is I have found something that works that I think produces semi-Bielsa player positioning so have managed to crack on with it - I did take a massive break.

Would be good to see you and a few of the others back around more, it's a shame all the old threads have been archived as we've all been around here so long, it was fun to look back on some of the old games.

Yep, great days those. Loads of banter, I remember the jokes, because I love a good sale, about how I'd sell my mother. Only for a £1m I replied.

Other than you & Welshace, I haven't seen any of the old crew on here for years. 

I might try and pick up the save again next week when I've some free time & I'll do better at posting.

Hey @macca72, yeah its a quiet one, i've been lurking this year, been super busy this year and haven't had much time to play, and honestly, didn't get one very well with fm20 so didn't have the inclination to play either.. 

 

But i'm fully on board for fm21, it looks super promising this year, so i'll be around   ..

Love your idea to let Orta bring in the players, bit of a challenge and will be interesting to see which direction he goes if you can get them into some money. Good luck mate!

Hello Macca and Welshace, nice to hear from you. Like Welshace, I've been lurking too. I did post a couple of times in the thread some months back but I haven't really contributed at all in recent years. I'm still FMing but not as much this year. I've found the ME skewed a little, by for example a barely detectable minor individual player gripe which results in the team producing chance upon chance and converting none. I can't buy it, albeit it creates some deja vu of what I've watched on the TV over the past two seasons.. I'll likely as not get the game again this year but I do hanker after the glory days of signing the likes of Hugo and Felipe Mattioni on FM09 for pennies - well nearly. Happy days. Hope you're both keeping well.

He got transfer listed for around £32m mate! Pretty sure I sold him within a year to somewhere in China too 

I'm just in to mid September 2019 and he's on the cusp of being transfer listed in my save too, 'asked to leave' (has been unfairly treated too many times by his manager). I doubt that I've got the transfer and wage budget though.

It's been a while, greetings from an old friend.

It's good to see the thread still active here. My days of finding dual nationality South Americans in the game are now just a memory, but it's good to read that Welshace has continued to dig up a few gems. 

I've not posted here in many a year, but I've continued with the game. Back this year and, yes like old times, I've sold everyone that can be sold. Raising £60m+ and then blowing the lot on young prospects, a few quality players (Robertone, Gouri, Vagnoman) and some go to players of recent years (Pelayo Morilla, Mathias Olivera, Nicola Armini). 

I'll post on any player thoughts as I progress through the game.
