[[FM21] Derby County - Why manage the Rams? / How are you getting on?]

I have sibley on the left of a 3. BBM and he seems to be doing quite well. Not as well as Jason Knight may I add but I'm happy with his progress. Have utilised him just behind the striker at times but prefer playing 4-3-3. Fully get your point about the oldies. Davies has already retired on my save, I shipped out Kazim-Richards straightaway and Waghorn has probably got about 7 minutes of playing time under me but he was injured for ages. 

Yeah his stats seem to indicate he would make a good BBM or possibly AM. Playing later so hopefully will be able to get Derby going.

Hey all,

I've just started a network game with my friend. He's a Stoke fan so I picked Derby. I don't live too far away so sort of a local team and they are a similar club of sorts to Stoke - Premier League ambitions, similar size stadiums built around same time(ish). I didn't know much about the Derby squad except a few old timers who I don't feel really are much cop (Kazim-Richards, Waghorn, etc.) but i knew they had a good youth set-up and had been blooding in youngsters past few seasons.

Anyway after deciding to try make my stamp on the Derby squad I shifted out some older players and brought in a load of loans (probably one too many) including Adam Idah, Tyrick Mitchell and Ethan Laird. My best back four is arguably all loanees! We started off the season in good form winning the first two, with Idah scoring for fun, after that we dropped off massively and only picked up one more draw out of the next 5 games. I have a lot of reading to do, looking forward to seeing everyones experiences so far, but one question I have is... how should I play Sibley? I know mezala is his best role but appears he seems quite suited to either BBM or AM role. I know he has the potential to be a great player but he's been pretty poor for me so far this season, averaging 6.57. Any advice be greatly appreciated, need to stop this rot quickly!

Hey all I just encountered this issue for first time when searching for young goalkeepers.

I am on Mac and after hitting enter in the search field, rows were displayed but there was no info in them but clicking on the row would bring up that players details. I tried a few reloads and looking into local files but nothing worked. I then right clicked on the top row (one that gives field titles i.e. name, age, club, etc.) and noticed in the views setting "copy of default view" was selected, I changed it to "default view" and wouldn't you know it everything came back to normal.

Hope this helps some people.
