The second one is because of the 2022 World Cup, which is held in winter rather than summer!

I'm currently playing as United and had a game against Liverpool in the Club World Cup...Xherdan Shaqiri picked up an injury, and I was offered the option to sub him off...despite him obviously playing for them, not me. It's the only time it's ever happened, and tbh I quite enjoyed how weird it was. Would be interested to know how this bug would have come about! Cheers Si

Hello! I'm having a relatively minor problem with my midfielders and was wondering if anyone can help - or potentially confirm that there is no help required. Basically, no matter how well my team performs, my midfielders don't seem to get decent ratings. In my last game, with a bit of luck my Tottenham side won the league in the second season with a superb league record, as well as progressing well in all the cups. My forwards (a striker, two wide players and occasionally an attacking mid) were excellent and all averaged 7.3 or over, my defence were mostly fantastic and all got good

This game didn't even involve me. Bottling bastards.

I'd be interested to see this too. I get the point that this isn't really comparable to FM because it's not a match engine, but it's definitely interesting to see as a concept of what future FM might look like - the SSN layout is great.

As anyone who ever played PS1 ****-show Libero Grande will attest.

Anyone?

Hi lads, Not sure if this is the right place to put this, apologies if it isn't! I recently downloaded the "Daniel's Real Name Fix" file from FM Scout and it's mostly great - but for some reason most English teams now have FC after their name. I tried editing them manually but it doesn't seem to work - does anyone know a way round this, or am I just stuck with it? Cheers!

Cheers will do now. I'm going to reboot now, if I find anything that works I'll let you know, might help others if they're in the same boat.

I am now getting this error message whenever I load up FM: Never had it prior to today so presumably something to do with the update, any advice? Weirdly it is listed as v15.3.0, but after it crashes I get a Steam message saying it is completing installation, which cuts at 1% before giving this error message: So maybe it's getting caught at the installation stage?

Apologies if this has already been asked - is there a way of installing the patch but not the transfers, or ideally installing the transfers without overwriting previous changes made to players' attributes etc? I've spent a lot of time editing the database with my own opinions of players who are underrated, overrated and that kind of thing, and would ideally not want to lose those changes.

Short answer: yes it is random. Long answer: yes it is random, why would they bother fixing the draw, what would SI gain from doing so? Longer answer: yes it is random, and really while you've quoted ten Prem sides out of eleven, you should bear in mind that beyond the fourth round it's pretty unlikely that you'd tend to get a lower-league team because they're usually out by then. Your run of Prem draws in rounds three and four is unusual, but by no means unique or evidence of a stitch-up.
