It seems a little odd that nothing has happened to them at all in 10 years, neither progression, not deterioration.. Is the option just completely greyed out all the time/unavailable? How are they described on the club info screen?

[I may have the worst mid-to-end season form of any FM player]

First half of the season goes decent. For example, this current season, I was W7 D6 L5 before my bad form came knocking.

I know 7-6-5 isn’t amazing, but it was enough to have me pushing play-offs at the time.

Whilst it’s super annoying, isn’t this why we love FM? Trying to find ways out of these types of runs of forms. Waiting for someone to make themselves a hero! Maybe I could give one of my youths some games, they might be the catalyst needed to get results.

[I may have the worst mid-to-end season form of any FM player]

Well, friends, it seems these demons are unrelenting. For the past two seasons, you'll notice my form just falls off a cliff. These pictures don't quite capture December and January, but it starts back there. One picture shows my current season and it looks like it's heading the same way.

What annoys me most is for the first three/four months, we do fairly well. Usually lurking around the play-offs or IN the play-offs, then December/January arrives and we tumble down from a solid 5th-8th position to a just-avoiding the drop position.

I try everything from small tweaks (as to not confuse the players too much) to a full-on change of tactics/formation but can never yield results. 

For those of you wondering how I've not been sacked, I've the 'Become Unsackable' option on. My friends and I all agreed to do a CAC save starting from the bottom, taking over the team predicted to finish bottom in the bottom league. We clear out all the staff and players, remove the history and build our way up. So, to get this far in and then be sacked would ruin the idea of the save.

Sorry if this isn’t posted in the relevant place, but I couldn’t find another topic about it and didn’t feel the need to start another topic for it.

I’m just wondering when the in-game editor will be available? Thanks in advance.

[Your greatest "wtf just happened" moment]

I forget if it was FM17 or FM18.

I had spent many years moulding Shrewsbury Town into a footballing power-house.

There came a period of around 4/5 years in which I’d always get Ajax in the KO rounds of the CL. And, I’m not ashamed to admit it, we were always on the losing end.

Another season rolls around and before I know it, I’m against Ajax in the Q/F on the CL.

I draw the home leg 0-0 and with that result, my confidence is knocked. The away leg arrives and around 70 minutes in, I’m 3-0 down. I sigh, in defeat, and just beg for the referee to end the game.

Fast forward to full-time and it’s 3-4 to me. I don’t know how it happened, but I was simultaneously lost for words yet asking every question known to man looking for answers.

I have a bug in press conferences before matches.

I always get asked the question: "Tomorrow's match sees you square off against Chris Houghton for the first time..."

Had it in at least my last 3 pre-match conferences. I am not facing Chris Houghton every time as he is not the manager of every team I face.
