(FM23) Reverted back to the PSG tactic after some matches as I won almost nothing. Got fired in november. Did won one promotion (from Vanarama to L2) and one Isuzu FA Trophy though. Now deciding if I want to continue this save and get another job, or start all over.

Oldest save I have is from june 27th, but that is already after the relegation to Vanarama

@knap I've never checked that. Can I see that from a year ago? Or only the current year?

Guess there aren't many team where the first and second teams play in different nations. Would make a nice savegame to be champions in both nations. Both Phoenix and their reserves can't qualify for the OFC CL, normally. Would be awesome if they both did (I know TMC already made the first team play in the OFC). Or that you could win the AFC CL with the 1st team and the OFC CL with the 2nd team and then play the CWC final with both teams 😎

Most years I have great succes with your tactics, even with lower league teams. Then it's obvious that my players are completely rubbish 😉😂

(FM23) Ended with only 16 points, which is a record low in the L2. Gonna continue in the Vanarama again.

Thanks. On FM Scout I found two of your tactics, looking for underdog and solid. But gonna try your Wigan tactic first!

Like this tactic I found in the underdog tab? I am still on FM23. Do I need other set pieces too? Or did you mean new SP for those who already play FM24?

@knap What is the best tactic to avoid relegation in the League Two? I am managing Bromley and got promoted via the Vanarama play-offs (finishing 3rd in the league) My team is by far the worst performing team in the L2 atm, scoring only 14, conceding 58, after 20 matches. Using ME23.2HGFKnap451PSGP112ALLCUPS atm which might have let me overperform in the Vanarama and grow too fast. Already changed the mentality to defending, but that only gave me one point (of a total 4) Don't know if it is important, but I am playing a simulation game, like the Omega Luke rebuilds on YT. So only setting my tactic, locking in a few players and simulate the season. Anything that helps me prevent relegation and let me grow in a stable manner would be nice. I like tactics that can be used at all levels. If you need more information, please ask.

So you can manage the Wellington reserves? Of you send send them from your 1st team to the reserves and then they automaticly play in the NZ league?

I think every nation, (semi) autonomous region and dependency can fit any fantasy database as long as people understand that it is just fantasy and not a political view.

If you're looking for extra nations, possibly for a fantasy file and want to include everything there possibly is, you could look to dependencies and partly recognized nations. Like Niue, Galapagos, Pitcairn, Abkhazia; the unclaimed Bir Tawil; the Holy See; the The Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta; Greenland, Jersey, Tristan da Cunha, Norfolk Island, Sapmi, Kurdistan, Karelia, Mordovia, Aland, etc. Note: some of them might be politically very sensitive.

No problem. It wasn't quite clear to me if I needed one or both files. Will only use one then

I feel it would be harder to win and more exciting to play if the UEFA CL winner doest not get a free pass directly into the finals Would the play-off winners then be randomized in the semis in your suggested set-up?

At which point should Wellington Phoenix start in the OFC CL? In the first season they didn't qualify for the OFC CL. And another strange thing happened. I am managing Pirae in Tahiti (French Polynesia) I won the OFC play-offs vs another team from Tahiti, but was never allowed to play in the group phase. I am using both the OFC redux file and the Wellington Phoenix in OFC file. Perhaps that is the problem?

With 1 team fron Kaliningrad and 1 team from Sakhalin, they can be both from outside mainland Russia 😄

Is that in your first Wellington in OFC file or in the Hawaii file or both? Edit: I am a bit confused right now. If I want the expanded OFC Champions League, but with Wellington Phoenix and possibly also Hawaii, etc, do I need one file or multiple?

I am thinking about Midway, Clipperton, Galapagos and Easter Island, etc 😉 😃 Don't know if they have football clubs there, but a bigger OFC CL just sounds so much fun. Just like a club cup for islands in the Indian Ocean. Maldives, Seychelles, Comoros, Reunion, Mayotte, Madagascar, Java, Sumatra, Cocos Islands, Christmas island, Kerguelen, Andaman and Nicabar Islands, Bali, Flores, Rodrigues, Sri Lanka, Zanzibar, Pemba, etc 😎😃

I saw it was already mentioned in the FM22 bug forum and I mentioned it in the FM23 bug forum too. It has something to do with the Italian leagues. If a mod maker edits those, the Viareggio won't start. It is in the game though and with the same name, but teams never qualify and matches won't be created. If you don't load those specific Italian files everything works as should. I hope I can start my new long term save this afternoon/evening 😊 Thanks for all your hard work TMC! I saw you made a new O-League too!

Had this too in FM23 If you download some editor files that changes something in Italy, then the Viareggio tournament doesn't start. Happened when I used the Realism update that is popular here on the community forums and also when I use the popular Sortitoutsi update If I don't load the specific Italy updates, then the Viareggio Coppa Carnevale works fine.

Sounds good! Do you need more testing? Meanwhile I found out which file cause my game to not load the Viareggio, so I can put that aside too.

Thanks and no worries. Because of the enormous difference in our time zones, real time conversation is always in the middle of the night for one of us. Yeah, I thought long about who should get the continental ticket when (almost) all slots are occupied by the same two (or three) teams. Seems like the only 3rd place we can be sure about (without editing those competitions) was the 3rd place in CanPL regular season I am looking forward to playing with this file 😊👍🏻

I have opened it, but I can't see any of the qualification rules. I am sorry, I am not familiar with this part of the editor.

? You didn't understand what I meant. I made an Excel table myself and only used ChatGPT to double check my findings. The questions/suggestons were my own 😉😂 I thought I've read everything but might've missed/forget the part where you wrote about the "next team down the table".
