    Brexit in FM21

    gosh... it's almost like English clubs are aware of this IRL - there's not been 1 season IRL when hundreds of random Brazilians have arrived from overseas... and this is no different now

    It's not just random Brazilians though, I was trying to buy players from all over Europe, not a single one of them could get a work permit, the quality of players available to me was so so poor. Every player my scout found that was rated good enough for the Prem (playing as Middlesbrough) couldn't get a WP, no option but to buy championship standard players and hope for the best. So i gave up on that save for now until full release and someone brings out something on the workshop to change it.

    Have to agree, the Brexit Scenario has really killed any excitement for the game I had this year, trying to sign players for Middlesbrough at the start of the third season and it is impossible, I can't sign anyone from abroad at all due to not being able to afford international superstars! I usually find lesser known players with potential to give me a chance of competing but this year that seems like it's going to be impossible.

    When's the BETA out speculation thread FM 21

    Honestly some people need to get a grip and stop being so entitled! The game will be out when it is ready, who's to say they haven't encountered a game breaking glitch last night, hence why they've been working through the night to release a product that actually works today.

     

    None if us know exactly what is going on behind the scenes. Be patient and the game will be here when it's ready.

    [FM20] [FM19] The Great San Marino Challenge

    Erm guys, i seem to have managed to finish in 1st place in Serie B, considering my squad has a lot of 2 star players rated decent Serie C standard i think i've broken the game lol.

    It went down to the last game, i could have finished anywhere from 1st to 4th but managed a 4-0 win over Juve Stabia. 

    I switched Di Nolfo to the opposite wing and he's scored 21 league goals from getting on the end of crosses, mad.

    Budget for next year is finally good, 80k p/w wages and transfer budget of £7m, i think i'm going to let my key players from this season have a chance, and improve on my CM's, i'm still using Gaiola and a guy i signed on a free transfer in Serie D so i think they definitely need upgrading, will probably send them out on loan in case i get relegated.

    Here we go with the screenshot uploads, finally got some time to put them on.

    Serie D/F table: 

    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1924400362

    Fairly easy first season, 19 points clear.

    Serie C/B

    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1924400309

    Somehow managed to finish 5th, gaining promotion to Serie B and back to back Promotions.

    Transfers:

    First Season:

    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1924400253

    Honorable mentions to a few players here, Danso, Di Nolfo and Simonti are still cutting it for me in Serie B despite signing them in my Serie D season, Simonti is probably the weakest member of the squad at the moment but his attributes fit how i want him to play (he was on loan then then signed him when his contract ran down). Once i get promoted to Serie A (hopefully within in a couple of years) i'd expect Di Nolfo to still be a big part of my squad.whilst another name on their Casselli, is still whit me on loan (third season in a row), scored 33 goals last year and is now my sub striker.


    Second Season:
    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1924400181

    The two that stand out here are Zalewski and Canessa. Zalewsk is a left midfielder, who this season i converted his loan into a permanent deal as he became a free agent, again, he is currently performing well in Serie B. Canessa was my target man last year, scored roughly 25 goals, not sure exactly how many. was key to the way i play, strong and quick helping me move the ball to the forward line quickly.

    Got one decent player as i mentioned before, he got poached by Livorno for a massive fee of 15k (board decided that that sort of money would obviously secure San Marino's future for the next gazillion years.)  with only 4k paid up front. My scouts now have him rated as a leading Serie C player with potential to play in Serie A, nice one chairman.

    I haven't taken over the national team yet, i'm going to wait until i'm producing some half decent talent, i've got no interest in getting hammered every game lol.

    Serie B is starting well, the players I could attract were pretty poor, since ended up signing a lot of young players rated leading serie C standard who have potential to improve to leading serie B. Alongside a few loans that are serie B standard currently.

    Got an absolute bargain striker, Nicolo Busi, a pressing forward that will suit my system well, cost me 52k but is currently a serie B standard player that has potential to play in Serie A. I had him on my fm19 save and he turned out good enough to get a few Italy Senior squad call ups.

     

    A quick (risky) tip, my starting budget was pretty small, 121k, ate into that straight away with wages, however I lowered our bonuses for the league competition which gave me an extra 200k to spend/ put into the wage budget.

     

    Played 5 games so far, won 3 drawn 2. For the squad I have this is an unbelievable start, I think each year my success has come down to being really strict in looking for the players' attributes that really fit in with my tactical style.

    So, i've managed to sneak an hour on after work while the Mrs is out, finished the play-offs and I've done it! a 5-1 win in the final against Novara, It's a miracle i've managed to get promoted with this side, with a wage budget of 8k p/w.

    If you're looking for a target man take a look at Tomasso Caselli, he's got 35 goals for me this year, including two 5 goal hauls on his own in the play-off games,bank balance is sitting at around 300k due to having such a low wage budget.

    Next year i need a completely new squad again, luckily i have a lot of loans that will go back to their parent teams so i have a fairly clean slate to start with,got a wage budget of 31k next year so a massive increase on this time around.

    Again,  i'll throw all these screenshots up when i have a bigger chunk of time to play.

    Second season just about done, finished 5th in the league which was a surprise considering the quality of my squad, Pescara managed to do an Arsenal and have an invincible season, not losing a single game, i've qualified for the play-offs so could still get promoted.

    Youth intakes have been pretty poor so far, as you'd expect, but i did have a half  decent keeper come through, wanted to develop him as my first choice keeper but Livorno came in with an absolutely whopping offer of 15K, the board decided that such a monstrous amount of money was too good to accept. (yes that was sarcasm) and sold him on deadlne day, and kindly gave me £0 towards my transfer budget to replace him.

    Will let you all know how i get on in the play-offs.
