If its not today its probably next thursday or at worse in mid march, after all the transfer windows are closed.

Its 11 hours from the last change in database, maybe its a sign that everything went well or something went wrong and they are trying to fix it.

Congratulations for being a father soon, you get a "free" assistant coach right there hehe

Release test was 5 hours ago, possibly we get the update today _o_

They had a lot of time for that, given the "christmas" update was on like 1 december or here about

Haha, I see what u did there

I feel like we are more waiting this patch than the release of the game :))

This is in my opinion the biggest issue for long term saves. I am only 3-4 years into the save and the quality of newgens is literally rubish. The players in the top 50 youngsters (beside those that a wonderkids in real life) are less than a mediocre. And this is as someone mentioned still not resolved since fm 2022. Before it was even worse and the patches that came tried to fix it but were largely unsuccessful in that matter. I really hope that the next patch that is coming out has given the biggest impact to that part of the game.

I have 9 matches too in just 28 days, from 26th of december to 24 of january. Does this happen in real life in Premier league ??? Dont think so.

What the heck, 4 matches in 10 days ?? 2 of those matches are even away, is this some kind of bug or is this a normal occurance ?

We played good and even had some chances to win, but nontheless super happy for draw. As mentioned before, this could be the crucial match. 4 points clear of Bournemouth on 17. place and 5 points clear from Leicester on 18. place.

Here I am again. I mostly use 1. tactic for away matches and against top 6, while I use 3. tactic when I feel I have upper edge over opponents. Standing isnt as good as I hoped and neither is it as bad at first look. 4 rounds still remaining, I am hopefull I will get it over the line and stay in PL. NExt match is against City and it may be the breaking point if I get the win (i have 0,01 percent) hope of that Other 3 matches are all against teams in top 10, so its gonna be a ruthless battle. But I am happy I somehow got the good handle of the first eleven. The biggest shift for the better was when i brought in Ilaix Moriba, the guy is nuts, I play him as roamin playmaker and he immediately geled with the team I feel like. Will be back with more info how the team is doing, fingers crossed for staying in PL !!

Its just so frustrating. Lost one match and draw another one in the fight against demotion. Where I draw the opponent hit 2 free kicks from line of penalty box, both freaking goals, the last one I lost 1-0, against from goal from the line of penalty box, again freaking goal.

Im watching all matches on comprehensive.

I dont like to complain too much about fm, it gives me a lot of joy, regardles of bugs and glitches here and there, BUT ! What really annoys me is that every free kick from the line from penalty box is a clear goal, I've experienced it like literally every match. As soon as I see free kick from line on penalty box, I know its goal, every frickin time. Anyone else experiencing the same ? Is it possibly a bug or something ? I can also upload the save and tell you the matches and goals i'm reffering too. I am not quite sure if its just bad luck (unreal bad luck) or is something wrong with free kicks from line of penalty box.

An update on how the save is going. The results are much better, I managed somehow to get morale up, so players also played a lot better together. I also tweaked a litlle my tactics, because it somehow works. United is just too strong for now and against Norwich I had no defenders (too tired), its the Christmas-New Year where the matches follows unreal. So happy for now, we are also 8 points safe from relegation. I update after some more matches again.

First match with tactics @HUMBL3B33 posted top, win against the best team in the league Liverpool !!!!!! They are first at almost everything but still my team managed to get a win out of it, the goal we scored came from left side, Cirkin throw ball on Endrick at the side, Endrick headed it to Bennedeto and ran forward, Bennedeto passed him in the middle of Liverpool WB and CD, Endrick stayed strong, pushed WB away and scored an absolute sitter in the top right corner of the goal. Edit: Salah played the whole match, his match rating was 6.0 !!

Okay VAR, no offisde, this game...

I understand what you are saying yes. I didnt play any match today while i wasnt at home and tommorow my grandma has birthday, so I again wont be playing fm. I also want to wait out, what will results be from you, playing my team. I hope and believe we can stay in premier league, so I can keep the hold of good players and they wont be going away cauze we drop a division down ;/ Cheers for now ! Btw: which attributes are for general footballing intelligence ? As english isnt my primary language I am not sure which one should I look at.

Wow, I think i will never be able to thank you enough for such a clear explanation of what is going on and how to try to fix it. I dont know how much time I have today and tommorow because i'm often away from pc on weekends, but will try to get some games in and report it back here what is going on and how the team is reacting. But I will stay much more closer to this forum so I can respond immediatly when you or someone else writes something to be reactive. Cheers guys, and lets hope everything goes good from now on !

Hmmm, a very interesting take on my tactic. Its very different from the perspective of @Cloud9. I actually wanted to make more like tiki taka play, where i would own the possesion, but I was so lost from all the losses it transfered to direct counter attack, which i actually despise in fm

I tried to make them morale go up but even if i talk to them they maybe get up only 1 point, cant have more team meetings because it says i had enough already xD

ITs tangfu skin.

Last 3 matches where I tried to implement yours advice, I know its not a big sample but still, at least I should see some improvements or ? I watch matches on comprehensive and its like i watch kinder garten vs pros. Have any other advice ?? Or could you maybe dl my save (i upload it on top) and try yourself how would you play with my team _o_

Thanks man for very deep explanation of what am I doing wrong. I will try tp implement all of the changes and return here to tell you how its going. When I thought I cant be learned anything new, this happens, Maybe its good it did, because I also love the explanation for a change that you mentioned, really helps me understand the thinking behind it. Thats it for now, thanks again for help and hear ya back after I get in few more matches to see how it goes. Cheers !
