[Getting offers for your players]

When offering a player out, I always offer them out for an unspecified transfer fee. Sorry if you already do this, but it kinda works for me however always have small offers because of this.

[From FM2013 to 2020-21]

1. Start your first save with a well known team, where you know the players and tactics just to get used to the game and it's new features.

2. Watch extended or key highlights to see what is going well/wrong in your tactic

That's my 2 pieces of advice, otherwise just enjoy 

[Free transfers after season 20/21 season]

Hi, I just got Swindon Town to the Championship and as my budget is so small I have to rely on loans from my senior affiliate (Man City) and free transfers.

Can anybody recommend some free transfers after 20/21 season for me to sign. Scott Fraser from MK Don's is on my list already. Thank you in advance

[Who to sign in League One]

CM/CAM - Matt O'Riley (offer him big money as PL sides are after him)

ST - Kaylen Hinds

My CAM doesn't perform very well in the Madrid version. How did yours perform?

 

Firmino is my CAM by the way

Surely someone can help here?

I've found it works brilliantly for the Inside forward only but the Car will return unspectacular ratings, thats what happenedfor me anyway

[Centre back]

Pau Torres from Villareal.

Jumping 17!

Seko Fofana did a great job for me. He may be a year or 2 older than 24 though, but he's fantastic value and ticks all the boxes. 

Hi mate, he isn't quite up to the standard I'm looking for and although I'm sure he'll do a job for me, his attributes are a tad low for me! Thank you though

Was a revelation for me at both Dortmund and Leverkusen 7.5+ every game 

I guess Havertz was a bad example as I have also seen some success with him.

Maybe Justin Kluivert?

[Pressing Forwards]

Werner, Belotti, Volland

[Wonderkid XI]

Hello,

In your opinions, who is your FM20 Wonderkid XI? This will differ according to your preference of formation and style of play.

I like to play the standard 4-1-2-3 with a gegenpress tactic and here is my wonderkid XI.

GK Donarumma

LB Katterbach

LCB Upamecano

RCB Konate

RB Alexander-Arnold

CDM Florentino Luis

LCM Bellingham

RCM Baro

LW Unaver

RW Elliott

ST Mbappe

[Centre back]

Jerome Onguene from Red Bull Salzburg. Normally you can pick him up for 15.75m at the start of the game and if you don't, usually ends up at Spurs, City or Munich on mine.

To be fair, I do that.

If one team bids £30m for one of my players and I'm happy to accept it, if another team bids the same, then I will try and negotiate a higher bid for the 2nd team (not normally an extra £27m though).

Same here lol but that's not the point! 🤣

[Bargain BBM]

Hi, I'm looking for a young BBM between age of 17-24. Doesn't have to be creative, I prefer good mental attributes.

Zakaria is the winner for me at the moment

 

Thank you

LDP

[Transfers? What transfers!]

I have had this on many occasions. I.e. United offered 30m for Chukwueze ACCEPTED and I offered 30m REJECTED and wanted 57m 🙄

[FM20: Top Must Buys]

3. N Kenneh from Leeds on a free (tribunal) - 16yr old beast of a CDM who, given the right Developement, will eventually become world class in the game.

2. Reguilon from Real Madrid on a free - If you're looking for a bargain left back you can snap this guy in season 20-21, offering him a contract half way through 19-20. After one season Arsenal offered 54m for him.

1. Mbappe - need I say more?

["Wonderkids" that are overrated and not remotely worth the tag]

Kai Havertz. Now don't get me wrong his attributes are incredible but he never seems to perform for any team he goes to in my saves, always averages a 6.90 rating.

What do you do with Karius?

Always sell him

Keeping Adrian for at least 1 more year with the hope of snapping up BurkI from Dortmund on a free at end of 2021, but that doesn't always happen therefore worst case I'll end up using Grabara and/or Kelleher as my backup GK(s).

Like Klopp in real life, as long as my first choice goalkeeper is world class I don't mind too much the quality of the 2nd choice as I think it's a waste of money/wages to splash out on one.

Realistically, how much work do you guys do to the first team in the first season? I always make the mistake of buying players I wand, as opposed to players I need. I mean, do we really need anything other than a backup lb and backup gk? 

Maybe a backup forward/Winger? Along the lines of Gnabry/Kluivert.

I always end up buying 3 players

LB Katterbach - Koln 8m-12m

CB Onguene - RB Salzburg 15.75m

CDM Kenneh - Leeds FREE (775k compensation)

 

Then in the summer after I'll go and buy Timo Werner as I prefer to keep things more realistic the first season.

Whatever you leave ticked and pick manually will overwrite or add to those greyed out set by your AM.

Thanks mate!

[Opposition instructions]

Quick question - Does asking your assistant manager to set opposition instructions dismiss your opposition instructions set in the tactics screen? Or vice versa?

Thanks,

LDP

Trying this and it's looking very promising so far both in terms of results and performance! 

That's great to hear mate! 

The only issue I've had with this tactic is fouls and can't seem to find the right balance between cutting them out/winning games so I just kept it the same as it works 

[A Discussion About the Advanced Playmaker]

My issue is with the personnal I have in my team and the fact that I want them to all start together.

Werner ST, Mane LW, Salah RW and Roberto Firmino CAM

I know by moving one of the wingers from an Inside Foward/Inverted Winger to a classic winger would help my CAM thrive but I just can't do that with Mo and Mane as it just doesn't feel right.

When I play 4-2-3-1 Werner, Salah and Mane bang in goals and although I don't want Firmino to contribute as much goal wise, I'd like to see more from him as the ratings are always between 6-6.9.

You already touched on the subject already with the CAM being too crowded with 2 inverted wingers, CM and a ST. Any other suggestions? Or is it just a case of having 1 classic winger and/or CDMs?
