Yep, you can pick the starting 11 as described but you wont have control of the substitutions unless you actually manage the game.

Yeah, I don;t think the player can 'renegotiate' a work permit with you. If the application for the permit was unsuccessful you can only improve the deal to meet the criteria (I can;t remember what that is, but related to wages and fees) or walk away.

Essentially it means that one of the instructions coded into the role goes against the 'Shoot Less Often' trait. I am guessing he has a long shots trait while the role has 'Shoot less often' as a PI.
The Trait will take priority in his decision making so the game is letting you know that the ole may not perform exactly as you may intend.
If it is an issue for you in your tactic, start to de-train the trait, if it's not an issue, let him have a few shots.

If you set the OIs first, THEN ask AM to do it, I think it cancels your selection out. I always ask AM to do it, then modify as I see fit.
To be fair though, I have been doing it that way for so long I'm not sure if it still applies.

I'm not yet a Grandad but I do know that, while not necessarily 'career ending', an ACL is one of those injuries that further issues are inevitable after recovery, however good or modern the surgeon is.
As a GK, his knees would be used - he doesn't run as much as others, but does a lot more jumping/landing on the knee, is a lot more agile than other players on the pitch, so yeah, and ACL is pretty serious and almost definitely going to cause issues later on.
From experience, if he is out for three months, then the ligament probably isn't being replaced - the knee works just as well without it in normal use but is less stable. A transplanted ligament would take much longer to heal, IRL for most people (my wife) about a year, or at least a full season out.
Buying a player with an ACL is, well, pretty poor financial management.
AS for the 'Taking a Medical' issue in the game. I believe IRL that the buying club has the option of insisting on a medical, it is their choice to make the deal dependent on a passed medical. Not all IRL transfers carry this clause, although there is obviously and insurance effect if it's not there. I would think it is in the game as applying to ALL transfers hence your situation.

I have not either, I am starting too because I know mentality essentially means risk in and out of possession.
Yep, I understand that as well, but with my own preference aside (and I know there is Perception bias at play) but I ALWAYS concede at least ONE if I play on Cautious/Defensive for more than about 20 mins.

I have never understood that at all. Yes, I can see that balanced is a 'base' if used with simple TIs/PIs but surely it's just as easy to change things in game if you are starting on Positive or Cautious? I always start on what I think will work (no hard rule but say - Balanced/Positive if away, Positive/Attacking if at home) and change it if it isn't working how I had hoped.
I have never quite got my head around it being easier to see things or change things if you are playing a Balanced mentality.
Like I said earlier though, much of my approach is probably down to my own preferences than the game.

I tend to bounce around from Balanced to Attacking.
Never really felt comfortable going below a balanced set up but I think more to do with my own football aesthetic preference than anything else.

Would probably impact his bravery at the very least I would think

There is a lot more at play, I think. than just missing the penalty. The miss shouldn't just drop him to 6.1 but should reduce his rating at the time by a certain amount. I don;t know what it is, but let's, for the sake of argument, say it is a 0.5 reduction.
If the player was at 6.7 before the pen, and misses, he should drop to 6.2. Now, a 6.7 was distinctly average anyway, so would he climb back up to that level quickly on a bang average performance? Probably not.
If he was at a 7.5 for example, he would drop to 7.0 and has been playing well anyway, so could well get his rating back up fairly quickly if he doesn't let the miss affect him. He was playing a blinder and will probably continue to do so.
In cases like this, (you see it sometimes with other players making expensive mistakes) I keep an eye on him for a short while - if the rating starts to climb, he's fine and can carry on. If it doesn't, then I sub him off if it makes sense to.
So, his frame of mind before the miss, his personality and ability to recover from it play a big part in it as well as his performance level on that particular day. Sometimes a kind shout, or a roasting from me, or sometimes just a shrug and a 'head up son you're doing alright'. Depending on the player and the situation.

I think that once you edit the game it affects your leaderboard status. So adding packs/leagues/ databases etc can affect it.
Have never bothered with it myself so could be wrong.

I always explained the GK ratings (to myself anyway) that a solid defense was as much a part of it as the GK himself. I think, in FM20 though, the GK ratings have got a bit better/more appropriate, but if he doesn;t have to make any saves during a game, I don;t think his rating will move whether it's a clean sheet or not.
Your DMs getting a high rating might well be part of the reason your GKs are low - if the DM does his job then the opposition has fewer chances, therefore less for you GK to do to raise his rating.

You can go into the Training tab, and click on the session you want to change.
Select whichever one you you want to change to - I think Recovery is under either Match Prep or the Physicals (not at game PC so trying to remember)
If, like me, you have the Ass in control of training, you will be asked if you want to take over control or 'just this once'. Select just for this time and the session will change.
But, I wouldn't mess around too much changing Rest to Recovery too often. REcovery is good when there are a lot of fixtures or when training is particularly intense, but often, with a busy fixture list, I prefer to give the tired players a day off than bring themin for more work.
Remember 'Recovery' is an activity for them to do, 'Rest' isn't.0 -

I have 17 out of 45 staff that are Females.
If you haven;t hired them, that could be a rol-over from when there was a successful women's team there.
I have seen one or two in-game around the world, but not come up against one yet.

Not sure of the first part of your question, but you can order the columns by clicking the header on the primary one (I assume you already do that) then shift-click the secondary one. SO any with a scout rating of say, 85 will appear together, but sorted in order of the 2nd priority you select.

Yeah, the valuation the game gives you is calculated using the player's time left on contract and ability.
The actual price they are sold for comes down to what the selling club is prepared to accept for them. Youngsters, especially home-grown ones, are inflated because of the foreigner rules - they actually carry more value now over and above the game estimate - so clubs are less likely to sell as they need home-growns in their squad which can be just to keep numbers rather than actually planning to play them. HIgh potential youngster have an extra premium added as well.
Any player I am adamant I want to keep, I set the Assistant instructions to reject all offers.
You can also set the asking price ridiculously high to put others off bidding, but that can unsettle the player and doesn't necessarily mean the bids won;t come in.
Ultimately though, you have a player at Celtic who could do very well in higher leagues and competitions so be realistic about keeping him. Just get as much as you can for him when it happens.

I wouldn't recommend a big club to improve your tactics, you will have a better standard f players that tend to do well-ish whatever and will mask some of the tactical issues.
A mid-table team in a bigger league might be helpful, as you have decent players who can do a job in a variety of roles for you to experiement with, but I would still probably look a bit lower down the ladder - still go for a mid-table sort of team so you get the experience playing as favourites and as underdogs.

I tend to play journeyman careers so wouldn't usually be in a position for anything like that, although I think I did once get the third cubicle in the North Stand Gents named after me. (After I graffiti'd my name on the door)

I managed to avoid this. When you transfer list a player, go to the Selling Wage Contribuition, set the value to 1€ and then make this clause non-negotiable. Clubs will make offers for your player without the clause.
Or simply 'Remove and exclude' from negotiations.
You will see a significant drop in the fees offered though as the buyer tries to balance things.
One thing I do first though, is make the offer only to those clubs listed as interested in the player. They seem far more likely to pay the asking. If that doesn't work after a couple of offer-outs, then set him to transfer listed and/or offer to everyone.
Again. I always start with the 'Remove and exclude' on selling team contributions, unless it really is a last resort to get rid. I would even loan players out for a% wage better than the offer rather than sell with that clause.

I'm not sure you would be getting sacked because of tactics alone - unless it is set out in the board expectations to play a certain way. SO my first place to look would be the board expectations in terms of competition performance as well as tactical approach.
When you get the sack, does it give any indication of reason in the message received?
If it's because of results - look at how you are tracking with the expectations. They expect a top ten spot and you deliver bottom half could end up with sack
Style of play - they expect attacking football and you deliver defensive football
I'm not familiar with Touch so may be talking nonsense though.

Looks as if you are victim of your own success.
The FL Cup final, the FA Cup vs Middlesborough are 'extra' fixtures on top of the Premier League matches. So you are still in all three domestic competitions, plus, probably the Champions League so there will be huge fixture congestion for you at this stage of the season.

Thanks FRz - not sure i'll ever load a database that big lol but if th pc can run it why not i guess
to be honest, i was leaning to the Ryzen but didn't really know - never really understood the processor ratings etc,
currently i have an AMD A10-7300 Radeon R. 1.90GHz
but it is so old half the keys don;t work and it overheats regularly running 3d. had it a good few years now.

P.S How does the 14 inch Pavillion come to have a 15.6 inch display?
everything is bigger than it seems here in NZ @FrazT
Thanks for your input - the Lenovo is a $200 cheaper than the HP as well. But the Intel processor appears lower in the rating list earlier in the thread but I am not sure quite what feasible difference I would notice playing FM.
if the difference in processor means I can get through a five season save a few weeks faster it might be worth a couple of hundy extra.
If anyone else has any thoughts I would appreciate a quorum decision?

OK, so now I am in a more specific kind of area, I have it narrowed down to three at the moment. Bear in mind, I am kind of limited to one retailer as I get a discount there through work. By far the biggest user of resource will be Football Manager. I also like the bigger screen size on these three - I would struggle with FM on smaller. I don't use up much on anything else. So, for running FM would you go with:
1:
Brand/Model: 15.6" Lenovo Ideapad L340 (81LK000YAU) Processor: 2.4GHz Intel® Core i5-9300H Quad Core Processor (turbo boosts up to 4.1GHz) Memory: 16GB RAM Storage: 256GB SSD Display: 15.6" FHD IPS screen display Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 with 4GB Graphics Memory
2: HP Pavilion
Processor: 2.3GHZ AMD Ryzen 7 3750H Quad Core Mobile Processor with Radeon RX Vega 10 Graphics Memory: 16GB DDR4-2400 Storage: 256GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 Graphics with 4GB GDDR5 Display: 15.6" FHD 144Hz IPS Anti-glare micro-edge WLED-backlit, 300 nits, 72% NTSC (1920 x 1080) or
3:
Brand/Model: HP 14" Pavilion (15-cs3099tx) Processor: Intel® Core i7-1065G7 (1.3 GHz base frequency, up to 3.9 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 8 MB cache, 4 cores) RAM: 8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB) Storage: 256 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD + 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA Display: 15.6" diagonal FHD IPS BrightView micro-edge WLED-backlit (1920 x 1080)
Graphics: Intel® Iris® graphics
My initial 'gut' feeling (with a large dose of ignorance) is between #1 or #2, which by and large is a processor race. What are your thoughts?

Here's two that I am looking at, one is a refurb but half the price:
SPECIFICATIONS
HP Pavilion
Processor: 2.3GHZ AMD Ryzen 7 3750H Quad Core Mobile Processor with Radeon RX Vega 10 Graphics Memory: 16GB DDR4-2400 Storage: 256GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 Graphics with 4GB GDDR5 OR:
Manufacturer: HP
Model: EliteBook 8560p
Type: Laptop
Processor: Intel Core i7(2nd Gen) 2620M 2.70GHz (Turbo Boost to 3.3GHz)
Memory Size: 8GB DDR3 SDRAM
Storage: 240GB SSD
Graphics Processor: RADEON R7 M265/M365X/M465
I am probably leaning more toward the first on at the moment, mainly for the extra RAM and I think a better Graphics capability.
Again, I am looking to get better processing speed when playing FM. Currently, my machine seems painfully slow (AMD A10 w/Radeon graphics) and when playing in 3D it overheats and shuts down regularly. (I have had it a good few years now though)
Thoughts?

How to Effectively Adjust to the Opposition
in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
Posted
I tend to be a bit half-way. I set up my initial tactics based on the players I have and try to find a way to make it all work well. I make slight adjustments based on some of the pre match analysis report.
So, for example, I currently have three tactics, a 4141DM Wide with a mid-press, high LoD, a 4141DM Wide with a Standard, lower pressing and lower tempo and a 4231 Wide which is a full on front-foot Gegenpress.
My squad have been training these formations since start of the pre-season, they fit the players I have available and (to my mind) are the most effective approaches to get the best out of what I have.
Looking at the pre-match analysis I look to see the opponents performance against those formations - I don;t bother looking at others. If they struggle against one more than the other then that guides my choice.
I look at where assists for and against come from - eg: Opponents most common assist from the right wing? I may switch the CWB-A I have to a WB-Def or similar. Perhaps widen defence a little. Will adjust further in-game if necessary. If they concede from a particular area then I may go more aggressive in that area - an IF-S to a W-A for example. Pacey frontmen? Put the most suitable DC on a Cover duty (particularly if playing a higher line).
The way I see it is, "Look guys, play the way you normally do, but be aware of this, this and this."
