If this is added, then go on holiday could be divided into two: go on holiday (meaning you will not take care of any team training) and simulate forward (meaning you will train the players).

Currently in defensive set pieces you can only set players to man mark, but not who they should mark. I suggest that a new system be added. If in defensive set pieces player marking is set as man mark, then an second arrow appears inside the box where you can select who they should man mark. By default the choice is set as default if man mark is selected, meaning each player will mark the next biggest threat, but you can set the marking based on specific position, player or attribute. Lets look this example I have given: the first player mark is set as default, meaning the player will mark a player who is not the best jumper, Tijani, tallest player or AMR. For the others markings the marker will mark those who best fit the requirements, if tallest player and best jumper is Tijani, they will all mark him.

Most of the African players who join European clubs come on trial to those clubs. If it is double the cost than a regular scout, it would probably not be worth it.

As the league schedule is mostly set at the start of the season (with the only changes being if matches are moved due to TV or continental football), it would be good if you could change the match focus (tactical preparation) much earlier, not the same week as the match. If I currently try to create schedules using the calendar, I can not change the future match focuses. It is annoying having to remember to change the match focus each week, as I already know what I wish to focus on future matches.

Let's say you sign with a lower league club. Do you need to have the 2 possible scouts allowed at that level? Instead wouldn't it be better to be able to hire more coaches for the senior or youth teams? Do you even need to have a technical director, director of football or loan manager in a lower league club with limited finances? The original number of staff for coaching, recruitment and medical team is set based on the fact the chairman assumes you wish to hire staff for each category and role. Shouldn't it be more negotiable? There should be an option to negotiate the number of all staff at the same time and present the new numbers to the chairman.

I based it on a SI staff post ("Injuries run at about 80% of the real life levels in the FM series in recent years. This is still the case in FM24. Injury proneness as an attribute does play a part, however, it doesn't negate the possibility of a player simply having bad luck."), meaning the SI staff also considers it to be less than in real life. Don't know why they don't change it, although I don't like a hard difficulty where players have more injuries than in real life, I have nothing against it being the same as in real life, maybe the players are against it or maybe it is difficult to change to be accurate.

I agree with the idea that they should have more realistic injury rate as I have read that they have made the injury rate 80% instead of 100%.

It is not realistic that when you are both the club and national team manager at the same time, you can take care of the club's training. If you are both club and national team manager, there should be an option to assign a coach to take over your duties for when you are away from the club (which would also affect training). The period should be when you submit the squad for the national team games and when the games end, as realistically you would be with the national team at that time.

There should be an additional explanation for explaining why a player has been transfer listed. If a player has poor form, then you can tell that the reason for placing him on transfer list has been his recent poor form. For example if the main striker has only has been getting 6.60 on average and has not scored any goals so far.

There should be a clause in which the club can terminate the contract of a player or staff for a certain fee at any given time. The clause will work as follows: any time the club wishes they can terminate the player or staff contract for a previously set fee, even if they have 5 years of contract remaining, however if they have a few weeks left on their contract the club will still have to pay out the fee should they wish to terminate the contract.

There should be an option to add a permanent no improved contract clause to a players contract. By that I mean that when you offer a player a contract, be it for 1-3 or even 5 years, you can add a clause that states that until the contract has expired or the player is sold, the player would not ask for an improved contract "cause he has become a much better player", which happens frequently. This also means the player could not complain about a new improved contract, and the other teams who are interested in him will have to pay the full contract value or the release clause if they wish to sign him, meaning they won't complain if the bid is low. Players who have high loyalty, high professionalism, high injury proneness and low consistency would be more likely players to agree to such a contract, but if a player has high ambition, high consistency, low loyalty, low professionalism and low injury proneness, they would be less likely to consider such a contract. Also, based on how high the wage is and how short the contract is, the player would be more likely to sign the contract. Unless the contract has a minimum release clause set in the contract, the other club who makes a transfer offer will have to pay out the remaining contract, which should be automatically calculated based on length in weeks and the wage. A new contract could only be signed in the last year of the contract and will start to take effect once the previous contract has expired. As such this clause has both positives and negatives: you can keep good players at the club while not worrying about increased wages or the players leaving the club for a low fees, but you can not terminate the contract without paying the price or sell for cheap unless the parties are willing to pay out the full amount of the contract or match the release clause. Although modern contracts rarely if ever have such a clause, I think that in the 70's or 80's such things were quite common as the players did not ask for a new contract while they still had years remaining, and clubs who wished to buy them had to buy out the previous contract.

Having no half time or end of game team talk should not always be compared with silent treatment and having team react negatively to it. Currently when you do not have a team talk at half time or at the end of the game, the players most of the time react negatively to it. In real life not having half time team talk could sometimes have a positive effect on the team if they are professional as it would not break their concentration as the team already knows what they have to do, while not saying any words after a small loss would be much better than criticizing or sympathizing with the team.

In that case, your original trial idea sounds good. If you adopt the original coordinate idea, you may run out of players in some areas or have to sign grayed-out players.

Football manager should introduce the city of residence concept to the game. Meaning amateur players and non-players who do not have a contract with a club will move between cities in the same nation or even to a foreign nation for job purposes to find a non-football job. That way you can sign amateur players for clubs in the same city or region.

That would sound realistic, however you should also consider other factors such as they could find a job in the city and play as an amateur for a local club. Even in the Estonian lower leagues there are many foreigners who move from abroad and play amateur football while working at another job in the nation, either for a single season or for multiple seasons. The other factors that should be included are the city size and nation affluence, not just distance.

Salah and Mane were always good players. Their PA was probably low due to the researchers not rating them that high when they played for their former clubs, I don't think Klopp and Liverpool have anything to do with them becoming much better players. PA should be harder to reach only for the upper levels, for lower levels it should be easier to reach in my personal opinion as the players in lower leagues always worsen in skill as the years progress. Simulate 7-8 years into the game and you will find out that on average only 1-2 newgens are in national team squads, the rest are all real players due to them either having a higher reputation or being much better players (attributes, consistency).

Yes, if their job interest is at least 50% (yellow half circle) then they should at least consider the job offer even if they would ask for unreasonable wages or other unrealistic clauses. If they simply walk away from negotiations then the 50% interest may as well be 0 interest.

I slightly increase their salary and then suggest them a new contract in the new role. If a staff wishes for 6 000 as a regular wage in his preferred role, then I will give him a 5% or 10 % increase in new role and wait for his response, meaning I offer 6 300 or 6 600 for the staff. If I only wish him to work in a certain role, I will lock that role. If their demands are then unreasonable I walk away. I have nothing about the idea where you can interact with the staff and convince him to work for a certain role, but I don't think discussing about his wage before entering a contract is actually needed, none of the staff have an agent, meaning their contract wage demands should be talked face-to-face during contract negotiations.

If the role acts like a wingback and not as a wide midfielder/winger, then either it should also be for a defensive midfielder position or central midfielder on defend duty. Central midfielder position plays higher up the pitch than a wingback. My suggestion would be Wide Central Midfielder (D) = Wingback (S), Wide Central Midfielder (S) = Wingback (A), Wide Central Midfielder (A) = Winger (S/A)

When creating a manager, an interesting feature would be creating newgen relatives for the manager. As such you can create a brother as an unemployed coach or a son as a future newgen at a club, with a limit of course. Editing information would also be limited, name, birth date, player position or coaching badge can be added. As such it would be similar to a future newgen, the edt file people have created in the past to add a future newgen to the game, only with a relation to the player.

Real under 16 year old players are not allowed in the game, with the only exception being when a 16 year old player is added but starts out as a 15 year old due to game start date. Having too many youth teams also greatly increases the database and loading times. Adding under 15 teams or such should be fine in my personal opinion as long they are player added and only made from newgens.

In that case the suggestion is good. Something like a false winger then? When in defense stays in the center and when in attack moves to the wings?

Carrilero? A central midfielder on support who does not move into channels and stays wider.

There should be a season games planner that can be set from the player profile and can be added to the squad views screen. Game planner is similar to a reminder: you can add a target for a season by adding the number of games and average minutes (only for reference purposes), this would be useful if you wish to give a player game time in a season but forget to later play them. For example you can add a 2024-2025 season target of 8 games with an average of 30 minutes per game to a player, meaning a total of 240 minutes. Then you can add either remaining games or remaining minutes to a squad view screen. For this example it shows 8 remaining games and 240 remaining minutes. If in that season the player plays 3 games and 80 minutes, the remaining games change to 5 and minutes to 160, and keeps decreasing until it reaches 0 in that season.

Great suggestion. I also suggest that undefined league appearances could be added to the manager history (both as player and manager). By that I mean you can add player or manager league games without any specified club, as such you can add that the player played for La Liga 28 games in a 2010 season without giving any club as an example.
