A bit harsh on the lad...

I have uploaded the save game to you - 'Matt Skidmore - Liverpool.fm'.
I hid the players from the position options, but it's for every position, and strangely not every player who has played for me.

The match goes on, and all the information that comes up (live scores/table updates) really bug me. Is there a way to turn this junk off because last year there was a handy option in the notifications which isn't there this year.
It's so frustrating to try to make amends to tactics when your dugout is flooded with scores and table updates, and then you concede from something which you potentially could've stopped if you'd have been able to use your assistants' suggestions.
I don't care if another result is pushing me down to 10th because I can't do anything about their result or performance, and I can look at thebtable after the game. Yes, it bugs me this much.

After signing Declan Rice, I went to give him personal instructions for his defensive midfield assignment, but I found two players in the list who don't play for my club any more.
As you can see, I transferred Gini Wijnaldum for the 2021/22 season, but he is in my tactics for the 2022/23 season.

Hi, any update on this issue??
0 -
I use notes to comment on training and loans on set dates. The first thing I do when I launch a new career is to make my "Injuries" and "Training" note. I decide the interaction on a fluid basis, and if you dedicate specific dates on your notes you comment on their training whenever it's convenient, and when prompted.
Personally, I don't really need the conversation history as their relationship with you tells you a lot, but also you remember if certain players do poorly in training, or is that just me??

It's not a constant, but when I say to a player who hasn't impressed me in training/development that I will transfer list him, they occasionally end up being loan-listed, not transfer listed.

I clicked on the button at the bottom of the match report summary - View Highlights > Goals. At some point I saved the match because I was proud of the performance, but I can't remember at what time I did that, whether it was before or after watching the highlights. After I started to continue the game, it became unresponsive, but I'm not sure whether that was before or after I used cmd-tab to flick out of the game.

After 30 minutes of continuous non-movement, I had to close the game. I am livid.

Hi, I deleted the cache and preferences folder, and no I have no custom files installed. I after watching the goals highlight post match from inbox, my game got stuck on this screen. You guys should take a look at this, might ruin the experience if major progress goes missing because of this infinite loading.
Same thing has just happened to me. Just destroyed Brighton 9-0,with Haaland scoring 7 goals, and decided to watch the highlights for the first time in my life. So pissed right now.

Just watched the highlights of a game I won 9-0 with Erling Haaland scoring 7 goals, and the game won't progress. It's stuck on the processing screen. The cursor is black, not white, so I can't interact with the Browse button.
I never watch highlights because there's nothing for me in there, but this time after such a comprehensive victory, I wanted to.
It just stays stuck on this screen.

I signed Jadon Sancho for £80m in July 2021. While I understand the point that I haven't promoted this particular player from one of my youth teams, as he is 21 years old he would still be classed as a young player.

I've threatened a couple of players with putting them on the transfer list if they don't improve in training, and the conversation goes down the route of "threaten with loan list". It's happened a few times, but not every time.

I absolutely hate seeing my sub keeper come on as centre-half when I dragged the backup centre-back on. Infuriates the hell out of me.

I'm 6 points clear at the top of the table, but in my dressing room, I have the option to say to my team "We can potentially drop out of qualification spots if we fail to get a point here, so go out there and impress me", and a couple of players get motivated if I choose it.
Is this speech prompt supposed to be there, are my players a bit dim, or is it there to keep me on my toes?!

I decided to go with blocks of prestige combined with location. Eastern Europe isn't exactly seen as a "sexy" destination for footballers. Then it goes into Scandinavia, Central Europe (and Israel), the Home Nations, before really getting into the prestigious leagues. I probably should've put the Home Nations above Scandinavia because of the lower prestige though.

Your aim is to climb the echelons of the European football pyramid, starting in a foreign country.
Start unemployed, no badges, Sunday League footballer, and introduce and remove different leagues in phases.
So you start with all leagues as playable in Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Rep, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey and Ukraine. You also need England as a viewable league.
As you have zero experience, you will find your first job in a lower league, when you get to the top league and stay there for a couple of seasons, start switching nations out for ones with higher reputation in phases. As you get more successful, take more prestigious jobs in better nations.
Phase one is above.
Phase two - Swap 4 out, replace with Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden.
Phase three - Swap 5 out for Austria, Belgium, Greece, Israel, Switzerland.
Phase four - Swap 4 out for Iceland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales.
Phase five - Swap 4 out for Holland, Portugal, Russia, Scotland.
Phase six - Swap 5 out for England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain.
You may only take a job from the next Phase if you get offered the role. If you were fired or your contract was not renewed, you must stay within your current Phase for three years, regardless of success. For instance, you may take the role of AIK if you get offered it while at Djurgardens. If you were fired from there or your contract ran out, you must stay within the Scandinavian Phase for three more years.
Good luck.

So, this is something I first did a couple of years ago, and loved it so I did it last year as well.
RULES:
1) You start off unemployed.
2) You have Pro Licence.
3) You have your real-life footballing experience.
4) Your first club must have either sacked their manager, or they resigned/retired, and you may only take charge of a team 15 years after the start of the game (Season 2034-35).
And GO.
You're thrust into a footballing world where your favoured clubs brightest prospects are retiring. You have close to zero knowledge of high potential players, there are lots of bad personalities with newgens, and you have a lot of work to do.

GROUP STAGE!!
We managed to beat Legia 2-1 over two legs, grinding out a 1-0 win at home in the first leg with a stunning defensive display, and then getting a goal in extra time to draw away 1-1.
We’ve been drawn with Sassuolo, Hertha BSC and LOSC, which is as tough a draw as we could’ve picked. We’re not going to get anywhere in the competition, but we obviously want to make ourselves proud. If we can get one win, that will help our coefficients and our reputation.

@Lewis89 I’ve played the first season as Libertas (I’m still struggling with internet), and I managed to go the whole season undefeated, even while my strikers were tosh. Playing so defensively for so many years really boosted my defense coaching stats; we conceded less than 10 goals all season, and never more than one in a match. We won the league and the San Marino cup as well.
Unfortunately, even having a World Class reputation manager was not enough to boost the league’s rep at all, and we are ranked at 131st in league rankings, the same as when I joined. All teams in the league are Semi-Professional, with the exception of Domagnano, La Fiorita and Folgore who are Professsional. I’ve been asking for months, but “people love to root for the underdog”.
So, we went into the Champions Cup at the Champions First Qualifying Round. We beat Hapoel Be’er Sheva over two legs (2-0, 1-1), Djurgardens in the next (1-1, 1-1 won on pens), but then lost to Dundalk (1-1, 0-2) to drop us into the Euro Cup qualifiers where we face Legia. Even if we don’t beat them, I’ll be happy. We’ve lost one game in 6 in Europe, so that would raise our reputation, especially as we had three games on tv.
But, if we make the group stages of Europe, that will really boost the reputation of Libertas, and the league by association. All I need is the initial push to get the ball rolling!!
In terms of our facilities, we’ve got a decent setup. It’s not amazing, but at the end of the day, we’re unknown in an poor quality competition. The thing that’s helping is that we’ve banked a load of money and can’t spend it. Our ground is crap but I don’t want to ask for a new one yet while our reputation is so low, and our training facilities need upgrading but the owners won’t even entertain that yet, probably because we only train part-time. I’m focussing on the youth coaching and investment as that happens each year, and the San Marino domestic league has a maximum of 7 foreign players in the match day squad, and Italian players are foreign.
Still have lots to do, but it’s all about Europe now, and turning professional.

And the plaudits keep on coming. 20 years old, and already San Marino’s top national scorer of all time, and now the leading scorer for San Marino Calcio.
He’s just turned 21. If he continues at the rate he’s going, he’ll be a certifiable legend.
18th January 2025
Completely forgot to do my yearly update on the 1st, so it’s two game-weeks late.
We’re top of the league, and leading by quite a distance. It’s remarkable just how solid we are defensively. We’ve conceded 9 goals in 20 games with 11 clean sheets. Brewster has been outstanding as Raumdeuter on the right, and his partnership with Adjapong has been vital.
We’re 11 points clear at the top, and it’s exciting for us. We’re also through in the Champions Cup. We topped the group with a game to spare, so I let the kids loose against OL. They lost, but it was able to get them some match experience and rest our key players.
Stand out players so far:
Rhian Brewster, AMR, 23 apps, 6 goals, 5 assists, 2.13 dribbles per match, 4 POM’s at 7.23
Samir, DCL, 25 apps, 2 goals, 91% tackle rate with 1.16 tackles per match, 86% pass success rate, 2 POM’s at 7.22
Moritz Grab, AML, 23 apps, 8 goals, 5 assists, 1.54 dribbles per match, 81% pass success rate, 5 POM’s at 7.21
Claud Adjapong, DR, 24 apps, 1 goal, 3 assists, 90% tackle rate with 2.21 tackles per match, 4 POM’s at 7.16
Mason Mount, MCL, 23 apps, 6 goals, 4 assists, 90% pass success rate, 83% tackle rate with 1.93 tackles per match, 2 POM’s at 7.10
7th March 2025 - Youth Intake Day
A hugely disappointing youth intake this year. The best prospect is potentially average, and the next best is potentially below average, and they’re both Italian. If they were Sammarinese, that would’ve softened the blow a bit more, but overall I’m rather underwhelmed.
24th April 2025 - 21.00
Our first Italian Cup Final. We’re playing against Roma. We haven’t been playing very well lately (even though we trounced Cagliari 6-1 in our last match) so I’m quite apprehensive about our chances.
Let’s just go out there and see what we can do!!
24th April 2025 - 23.00
Winners!! A clinical 2-1 win has seen us lift our maiden Italian Cup. And, I’ve decided that at the end of the season, I’ll be handing in my notice. We won the league last year and we’re sitting at the top of the tree this year. I can chalk off winning the league and the cup in Italy, and even though every team is a million miles away, we can win the Champions League with a San Marino domestic team.
Besides. The earlier I can improve the San Marino league reputation, the earlier I can improve the National Team.
4th May 2025
CHAMPIONS!!
We’d played on Saturday 2nd May 2025, and were 12 points clear over Lazio who had 4 games left to play. Genoa managed to stun Lazio, winning 2-1, making us proud champions for the second successive season.
And with that Scudetto in the bag, I have tended my resignation. We’ve done the Double and are not in Europe, so there’s nothing more to play for this season, and with that in mind, I’ll be moving onto pastures new.
I’ll be on the hunt for a Sammarinese domestic team to take over. It’s going to be a huge challenge to make a San Marino league team a European titan, and I may need to upgrade a few teams in order to increase the league’s credibility but I’m going to be driving them as hard as I can to be the pinnacle of football. My theory is that by increasing the league’s reputation overall, that will increase the quality of players coming into the clubs.
25th May 2025
We were so far ahead in the league that it just became a matter of when we’d be champions than if. We had some absolute superstars this season.
Stand-out players this season:
Mason Mount, MCL, 46 apps, 19 goals, 10 assists, 88% pass success rate, 83% tackle rate with 2.26 tackles per match, 5 POM’s at 7.25
Rhian Brewster, AMR, 42 apps, 12 goals, 12 assists, 24 chances created, 8 POM’s at 7.22
Samir, DCL, 48 apps, 4 goals, 90% tackle rate with 1.12 tackles per match, 85% pass success rate, 2 POM’s at 7.18
Moritz Grab, AML, 45 apps, 10 goals, 9 assists, 21 chances created, 6 POM’s at 7.16
John Kitolano, DL, 37 apps, 3 assists, 80% tackle rate with 1.53 tackles per match, 83% pass success rate, 4 POM’s at 7.09
Notable mention to Maurizio Albani again. 42 apps and 19 goals. Just shy of a goal every other game.
4th June 2025
Following an interview, I’ve been unveiled as the Manager of Libertas. The team is in a bit of a sorry state but it’s exactly what I was expecting. I’ve been given a transfer budget of £1m, which is far above what I was expecting. It’s exciting in terms of money, but I will need to find some good players who will want to drop into a lower reputation league. Hopefully my World Class reputation will entice some people to join my revolution.

It seems that I’ve left off my transfers. I’m delighted with my transfers this window.
Daniel Arzani, for £20m to Arsenal was just too good to turn down. They initially offered my £12m, and I thought they’d run when I countered for £20m, but they just accepted it. Spot on!!
Kristian Riis played pretty well for me, but after he got injured and lost his place to Raffaele Poli he started to get frustrated with a lack of games. Managed to sell him to West Brom for £7.5m. The second centre-back they’ve bought from me in two seasons. They’ve got problems..
Francesco Cassata got wind that Inter were interested in him, and after I told him that I wanted £20m for him, he began to make some noises. Managed to get £14.25m upfront, and £5m in potential add-ons.
Raffaele Poli was on loan with an optional future fee of £10m. I took advantage of that as he played pretty well for me, and he’s only 20. Bargain.
Rhian Brewster decided to run down his contract, and so I brought him in to the club. He’s a great prospect, even though he’s now 24, but I’m hoping to push him into the higher echelons. He’s good, but could get even better.
Claud Adjapong is my new right back. It was the position that I desperately needed to upgrade moste, and so I did. He’s 26, Italian, in his prime years, and I think that £15.5m was a steal for him.
Alessandro Rossi went down with Verona, so I managed to get him for £3.4m due to a relegation release clause. He’s my back-up striker (even though he’s actually better than Albani, he won’t get in my starting XI). The fans are disappointed that I’ve bought a striker who was relegated, but he did get 12 league goals for them, which is acceptable. Especially for £3.4m.
Matteo Gabbia was running down his contract with Milan, and refused to speak with me, until I put in a formal bid for him. I managed to steal him away from Inter, Lazio and Sassuolo by bidding for him instead of waiting. £1.4m was a small price to pay for piece of mind. He’ll be warming my bench as rotational DM. I’m trying out a 4-3-3 with 3CMs and two wide-men, so he won’t have a regular place for now.

Huge mega update. I've just moved house and have had awful internet issues.
1st January 2024
Crashed out of the cup at the first hurdle. Yet again another late late goal consigned us to defeat. Really need to find a way to increase the teams concentration; the amount of last minute goals we concede is ludicrous.
We’ve been very inconsistent this year, and it’s frustrating watch. We’ve thrown away so many points from winning positions, we could be points clear at the top. Maurizio Albani has picked up from where he left off last season, getting a goal every other game.
Stand-out players so far:
Maurizio Albani, ST, 23 apps, 10 goals, 4 assists, 81% pass success rate, 1 POM at 7.23
Kristian Riis, DCR, 12 apps, 1 assist, 89% tackle rate at 1.46 tackles per match, 82% pass success rate, 1 POM at 7.21
Samir, DCL, 23 apps, 1 goal, 89% tackle rate at 1.47 tackles per match, 87% pass success rate, 4 POM’s at 7.20
Enrico Reggini, MCL, 19 apps, 3 goals, 3 assists, 92% pass success rate averaging 108.13 passes per match, 89% tackle rate at 2.08 tackles per match at 7.18
Alban Lafont, GK, 25 apps, 11 clean sheets, 86% save percentage averaging 5.72 saves per match, 1 POM at 7.15
11th March 2024
Youth intake day, and we’ve been pretty lucky. Three good-to-excellent prospects; two Sammarinese and one dual-nationality.
I’ll be training Selva up as a Right Inside Forward and Michelotti as a Left Winger. That will help us with our wide attack. It means that in a few years time, we could have three midfielders, two wingers and a striker all at a strong level. With Valli hopefully joining them in developing as I hope, there’s only the rest of the defence to sort out really!! Exciting times ahead for the San Marino national team!! I just hope that Selva chooses San Marino over Italy…
26th April 2024
It’s a shootout between San Marino and Lazio for the Scudetto. Five games are left to play, and three points separate us. In our favour!! If we can at least match their results, we’ll win the league, which would be a huge triumph for us. We play them in the penultimate match of the season. I just hope that it doesn’t go that far… At the other end of the table, Inter have toiled all season. They should be safe from the drop, but are in 16th. I think that’s their highest placing so far this term. Maybe I’ll see if they’ve any players who want to abandon ship…!!
4th May 2024
THANK YOU FIORENTINA!! Last year, they couldn’t win for toffee, and this year they’ve only gone and beaten Lazio. That moves us 3 points clear, with a game in hand, with 9 points for them to play for. We’re so close…
5th May 2024
Thanks for nothing. The lads were probably already celebrating winning the league because, aside from Mason Mount, no-one showed up today. The first half was frankly ridiculous, and we should’ve been 5-0 down. We were that bad. But then leading 2-1 and throwing it away to lose 3-2 was poor.
19th May 2024 - 15.00
D-Day. San Marino vs Lazio, 1st vs 2nd. Us vs them. David vs Goliath. Lazio have to win to keep their dream alive. We just need a draw, not that we’ll play for it. We’ve had a really strong season at home, and I’m hoping for another win. With Lazio likely to attack, that may just play right into our hands with our counter-attacks. “Counter-attack at home” I hear you say. Well, it’s worked out excellently so far!!
19th May 2024 - 17.00
FORZA TITANI!!
An own goal was our golden ticket to our maiden Scudetto, and I’m so proud of the team (and, yes, myself). It wasn’t the greatest match ever, but we don’t care!! Following our abject failure in the Italian Cup, this more than makes up for it.
Looking at next season, we only need to get a few players in. Our RB, Nicola Gaeta/Francesco Cassata, is the position that needs a boost most of all, but we also need a good back-up striker and a right winger. Other than that, I’ll be on the hunt for some good, cheap talents to bolster our youth ranks, and make some good money for the club for the future. We’re too far away from winning the Champions League, but we’ll go as far as we can. But, more importantly, we’ll be going for the Cup (didn’t I say the same thing last year?!). It’s being too elusive for my liking.
28th May 2024
This has been such a productive year. Not only in terms of winning Serie A, but our reputation and the progress that our players are making.
And looking at this table is so satisfying. Seeing us at the top of the pile, Juventus not even making the Champions League, and Inter and Roma both struggling to make mid-table seems like there’s a changing of the guard. And we’re at the front of it.
We only lost 3 league games between January and May, which was fantastic for us. One against Juventus, which I can’t complain about (even if they did finish 5th), and one against Cagliari after we’d wrapped up the league.
Stand-out players of the year:
Samir, DCL, 42 apps, 1 goal, 88% tackle rate with 1.58 tackles per match, 87% pass success rate, 5 POM’s at 7.19
Enrico Reggini, MCR, 35 apps, 7 goals, 4 assists, 92% pass success rate with 100.36 passes per match on average, 87% tackle rate with 1.90 tackles per match, 2 POM’s at 7.19
Maurizio Albani, ST, 43 apps, 21 goals, 9 assists, 82% pass success rate, 3 POM’s at 7.16
Mason Mount, MCL, 26 apps, 10 goals, 3 assists, 89% pass success rate, 88% tackle rate with 1.76 tackles per match, 5 POM’s at 7.14
Alban Lafont, GK, 42 apps, 21 clean sheets, 87% save success with 5.60 saves per match, 1 POM at 7.12
15th June 2024
It’s happened; Maurizio Albani is now San Marino’s top scorer for the national side. He managed to score a brace in a friendly with Andorra, which now puts him on 12 goals for his country. At the age of 20. What a talent.
3rd October 2024
Luca Selva has been called up to the Italian U19 squad. I noticed about a week ago that his nationality had changed to Italian, should’ve known that would mean that he would represent them instead of San Marino. I hope that he turns out for the San Marino national team in the future, but it’s doubtful. Gutting, really. Thankfully, he’s the only high-potential dual nationality player that’s come through the academy.
It means that we’ve got 6 six players who could (and should) be in the San Marino national first XI. More than halfway to a semi-decent side is great progress when you take into account that it’s only been 6 years since the start of this challenge.
