    Not realistic, teams dont do it often but there's been a slight rise if im not wrong recently within the last 3 years. 

    I think we might be talk about different things. 

    My news feed in FM is littered "Club X in swoop for player Y" headlines, then when you click on it they've just made a bid, even a loan bid. 

    I think the wording of that news item should only be used for completed deals, not mere submitted offers. 

    Unlike some of my other views on fm, this is a bit subjective though, especially with the increasing social media feed in fm.

  2. Been playing a lot recently. Finding the ME a bit of a joke in the sense of how all my goals are one of 2 variants, but expect that someone will say it's my tactics.

    I have a few questions / issues though.

    1) Is there a minimum time a chairman will keep a club for? I've had my newgen Chairman for 7 years and he still "will never leave of his own volition". I want him gone, and fully accept it must be random and not manager-influenced, but wonder if there is a set minimum.

    2) Club X in swoop for Player Y - for me this should only be used for completed deals. 

    3) Managing France far into the future and nearly every day there is a long list of news items about dual nationality newgen teenagers thinking what they should do, or end of career Ligue 2 journeymen. I think its very realistic national team staff should keep track of this, but maybe collate it into a single monthly message highlighting the few high-profile ones, only having individual news items if a sufficiently high profile does something drastic that day.

    $) In journalist questions about item 3 - there is no response along the lines of "Well he is 31 and playing in Ligue 2, so maybe he should consider playing for Madagascar and not France". 

  3. Got a newgen with a bald heid in the picture yet black hair in game, it's not beta any more. Get the game in the bin.

    My 33 year old CM captain thinks we are too weak in midfield. 11 points clear top of the table at xmas and he's only made about 3 sub appearances cos of how strong our midfield is. It's not beta any more.

    "We come into this game 1st in the form table, whereas opposition are 2nd, let's show them why."

    But they look better in general. It's a newgen update.

    I have noticed a little more variety yes, but my 18 year old London born Sudanese international star striker has got rid of his iconic afro, so any objective benefits pale in subjective comparison.

    I also don't like the coloured boxes on the pre match formation screens or the bordered stars.

    So I'm a few games in to my second season as Aston Villa. I walked the league and gained promotion, but over the summer I noticed what I feel are some 'strange' managerial moves;

    • Unai Emery sacked by Arsenal mid December (they were doing okay so you could kinda forgive this) but still think it was a bit soon?
    • Rafa Benitez replacing him - Fair enough, not too odd.
    • Lopetequi & Valverde sacked at the end of the season, replaced by Ancelotti & Max Allegri respectively - Barca/Madrid did finish 3/4 so again, understandable.
    • Pep Guardiola leaving City for Juventus to replace Allegri. Klopp replacing Pep at City - this is where it gets a bit unusual for me.
    • Wenger coming in as manager of Liverpool.
    • Tuchel sacked at PSG for finishing 2nd - replaced by Conte. Fair.

    Then to add to this, we have basically every big team overhauling their squads.

    • United (who kept Mourinho on surprisingly) signed Adrien Silva and Camacho in the first summer, Silva not getting a game now and Camacho loaned out. They signed Icardi in Jan, and Kane in the summer. As well as Benatia, Ndidi, Tierney and Suso.
    • Liverpool sold Mane and Matip to Madrid for about £120m
    • City have signed Weigl, Jonas Hector, Zaha (in 18/19) and Varane, Gaya and Ramsey this summer. All whilst only loaning out Mahrez and Gundogan.

     

    There are more 'unrealistic' (imo of course) transfers - Arsenal have gone a bit wild - but these are a few little examples. As well as this, and one thing that kills me is United have changed a load of squad numbers. Pogba 14, Herrera 10, Lukaku 15, Rashford 16.

     

    Does this seem a tad unrealistic to anybody else or am I over-exaggerating? I get that teams replaced managers due to poor positions - but would Pep leave City for Juve at the end of this season? Would Klopp likely go to City? Would United spend £200m on two world class strikers to compete with Lukaku? Would all of this happen in such a short space of time?

    I agree with being upset about most of this, but guardiola to juve is one of the more plausible. Juve have something weird going on in getting Ronaldo and then the likes of Marcelo etc wanting to follow. Who'd have thunk that before it happened, FM rarely surprises you more than real life can. 

    Harder to see how klopp would go to city though, and man utd sign camacho and Adrien silva in pretty muchall my saves.

    Whats rest and training got tobdo with it... The bug is too many match day injuries.... 

    Its like saying you wont get run over by a car if you do press ups before bed and eat your fruit and veg. 

    Mate you're gonna be devastated when SI confirm on release they've logged and reviewed the injuries in detail following the bug reports and confirmed they are spot on.

  7. I can make a board request to go full-time. My board have been rejecting it, fair enough.

    I've just been offered a job elsewhere, and the board have come to me letting me make requests to try and get me to stay. Go full-time isn't there, and from what I can see is one of the few absentees.

    Is this a) correct b) intentional?

    They might still reject it anytway, but I would quite like to leverage. No idea if it would even be a good idea mind.

    players asking for new contracts is crazy.  robertson being paid 50000 a week now wants 250000 a week. hes not even anywhere newar the best player at liverpool no way would a lb whos getting average ratings ask their wages to go from 50000 to 250000

    Luke shaw got given best part of that IRL. Have you actually tried negotiating him down to at least south of Luke Shaw? Go on, bet you can.

    Not at all mate, just releasing my skin, then getting bombarded with small niggles and feature requests, when I specifically said I'm not taking them, made me just think "ugh **** this"

    Fair enough, to be honest I didn't even see that in the top post but it's there right enough
