  1. I’m liverpool and have completed 3 seasons, but haven’t managed to win the Champs league. I’ve always found finals are nearly a given with a good team, I don’t remember getting beat in many big finals.

    This version I got knocked out in the semis last season and this year beating in the final 2-0 by Utd. I went unbeaten in the league and only 5 draws, was just expecting another win!

    I was planning on dropping my beta save and starting at a lower league team but looks like another season to try and win it!

  2. Hi, not a ‘how do I’ Q but seemed more appropriate to post here than start a whole thread.

    If I save my transfer budget does the amount the following season reduce as I already have x amount in the budget or would I be provided the same amount the following season regardless of current transfer budget?

    Thanks

  3. Thanks for the replies..

    it worked out in the end.. Ederson got injured for the run-in and City dropped a number of points.

    Premier league, Champs league and Carabao Cup winner. Just need the FA cup next season, knocked out in the semis to Southampton with Fulham waiting in the final - should of won the quad 🙈

  4. I had a positive first half of the season and was 7 points clear in the league. I am playing as Liverpool so I’d expect to be doing well.

    But with fixture congestion I had a lot of slightly tired players so rotated a lot more and as a result I’ve lost 1 and drawn 3 of my last 5 league games (1 win) which has seen a 9 point swing from Man City and now I’m 2 points behind.

    I’m just not sure what the ‘best’ approach is, is it better to continue to play tired players because you still have a better chance of picking up more points.

    Or do you just have to accept when competing in Champs league, Carabo cup, Fa cup that you’ll have spells in the season dropping points through resting players?!?

    Man City/Haaland are fairly relentless so I guess beating them to the title is a challenge anyway.

  5. Hi,

    I’ve bought FM the last 4 years and every year say it’s my last, not because the game isn’t very good, it’s definitely me that’s not very good.

    Every lower league save I try I fail miserably, whether it’s with a team expected to challenge for promotion or a relegation battle.

    I know it’s down to tactics, I’m only really familiar with gegenpress but I know this needs high energy/work-rate players. I switch to something else when gegenpress doesn’t work but with very little logic involved and continue to lose.

    I appreciate the number of tactical options doesn’t lend itself to one tactic being recommended, but is there a good starting point for most lower league teams tactical wise.

    All I end up doing is managing Liverpool, gegenpress tactic, winning most things but it’s not much of an achievement and gets boring quickly.

    Any advice appreciated.

  6. Hi, I'm sure this has been discussed many times before but I'm relatively new to FM.

    Fully intented to only play the Full version when purchasing but I'm considering this difficult if wanting a long lower league save.

    Started a Liverpool save on Beta release date to familiarise myself with the game before my intented plan of a league 2 team save on full release. I have only yesterday been able to get through a full season (nearly 5 weeks). My concern is at that pace even if I got promoted every season (very unlikely) it would take 5 odd months to even make it to the prem let alone achieve great success.

    Main question therefore having never played Touch, how much do you really lose out on and is it that much quicker considering I delegate training and pre match tactical meetings already on Full.

    Thanks

  7. I probably didn't explain this well, I didn't offer an up front loan fee which I appreciate would be taken at the time the loan deal was complete. I offered monthly fees depending if the player either played or not, surely I wouldn't be paying that monthly fee if I now own the player? Maybe I am wrong but that doesn't seem to add up.

  8. I am not sure if this is a bug or not so was unsure where to post but;

    Signed a player on loan with a large monthly fee and ended up just paying the negotiated future fee straight away to buy the player outright.

    However the possible loan payments which were taken from my budget have not been returned after I signed the player outright, so now I have paid the transfer fee and am unable to access the loan fees which have been taken from the budget.

    Bug and therefore need to post in relevant thread or just the norm?

  9. Hi all,

    2nd season announcement of post-Brexit rule - Max 17 foreign players per 25 man squad.. hadn't played full FM since 2012 so just wondering if this ruling is fairly standard/harsh/lenient. I've bought in a lot of foreign wonderkids so I'm potentially going to struggle but does the ruling apply to those players already bought or will those already at the club not be considered foreign players for the purpose of squad rules?

    Any info much appreciates.

    Thanks

  10. Hi all, bit of advice needed on a laptop.. I have the following laptop which ran FM great

    https://ao.com/product/fx504gde4603t-asus-laptop-black-59430-251.aspx

    however the laptops ran into some issues and I've lost faith in it.. looking to exchange and the following laptop works price wise, improvement in having an SSD (I understand this doesn't impact on FM gameplay) however downgrade on processor with i5-7300hq from i5-8300h - I have very little knowledge tech wise, will the difference be noticeable or is that very unlikely? Otherwise they appear identical to me but would appreciate any info if the below laptop seems noticeably inferior.

    Thanks

    Make sure when you save the game you go to the cloud save,as opposed to the local save, then once its saved a message will come up with game has saved successfully to cloud and will upload to cloud once you exit the game.So exit game and then go to steam where your games are listed.Football manager should then turn blue with sync next to it,do not turn the pc off until football manager has finished syncing and turned white,otherwise it wont save to cloud.

     

    By the way as my previous post above states,while the game is uploading to the cloud it can take a while,anything from 5 to 10 mins upto an hour.

    Thanks for above info.. I am just going to save to memory stick as when I save on cloud none of the above seems to occur, no specific notification occurs and on steam FM shows exactly the same as after a local save.

  12. Sorry this is a really basic question but I haven't played FM for years prior to 19, where can you check to make sure the sync has completed/progress of the syncing? On steam I cannot see any indication that the sync has completed, I just save it and once the game completes the save turn the laptop off. Getting slightly concerned as my laptop is being replaced in the next week or two.

  13. Hi Smurf/all.. I highly doubt it as I got a very good deal in the first instance but could anyone suggest a comparable laptop to the below for £550. I'm being offered a full refund (£550) due to two faults in three months. I don't trust the laptop now but may just have to get  the same laptop replacement as I can't find anything close in specs.

    I5-8300H, 8GB RAM + 16GB optane memory, 1TB, GeForce GTX 1050 2GB graphics.

    Thanks all
