The one I posted is better - it has the newer i5 which is better.

I'd need to see the actual links. Those titles don't say what model i5 CPU they have, or how much RAM they have.

It's up to you whether you wait. However, I'd be shocked if this struggles with FM25: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/hp-victus-16r0502sa-16.1-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-rtx-3050-512-gb-ssd-10250490.html

Yep, I'd agree.

https://www.currys.co.uk/products/msi-katana-b13v-15.6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i9-rtx-4060-1-tb-ssd-10254228.html One of the best laptop CPU's currently available paired with an excellent graphics card.

That one is better than the previous one.

That still looks like a solid choice to me.

Putting those models into a search doesn't give me a specific spec so its not really possible to say. I'd really need to know CPU and RAM to be able to say.

Will be fine for playing the game in 2D.

That's a near top of the range laptop. It'll be fine.

That laptop will be fine to run the game and shouldn't have any issues with the setup you mentioned.

Something like this would be ideal: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-predator-helios-neo-16-wuxga-165hz-ips-gaming-laptop-intel-i7-13700hx-geforce-rtx-4050-with-16gb-ddr5-512gb-ssd-steel-gray/6541304.p?skuId=6541304

Something like this would do the job: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3349809?clickPR=plp:1:35 I'm not an electrical expert, but I see no reason why using an adaptor to allow a UK charger to be used wherever you're going.

There's all manner of factors which go into it. I just finished a season with Chelmsford in the National League South. It was my first full season, having started the game unemployed. We overperformed expectations - Finished 4th in the league but lost the playoffs (expected mid-table finish), got to the 3rd round of the FA Cup and the semi-final of the FA Trophy. At the end of the season, I had job offers from 4 League Two clubs and one in the Scottish Championship. I put that partially down to the overperformance, and partly down to Chelmsford allowing me to take coaching badges (at the time I left for Forest Green, I was studying for either a Continential B or C, can't remember which).

Of those two, definitely the first one by a long way. I don't have any personal experience with the Steam Deck but I am aware that it can be connected to a monitor.

I'd be extremely surprised if it isn't good enough.

My suggestion for now would be to turn down the graphics preset. I have a laptop with the same CPU and integrated graphics and when testing worked fine when set to medium.

Yes on both counts.

If you're not watching the full match (which most of us don't), you're not seeing everything the player does. But, I do find that the match stats can be a bit wonky anyway. I do feel like goals and missed penalties have way too much bearing on a player's match rating.

Because we don't have the system requirements for FM25, but we do know they're going to increase, we are generally recommending laptops currently with a dedicated graphics card. This is the cheapest brand new one I can find at £550: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3349809?clickPR=plp:1:38

Of those two, the first one is better. But, if you're looking at beyond FM24, you should probably be considering a laptop with a dedicated graphics card as we don't know what FM25's system requirements will be yet, only that minimum spec will increase. If you don't mind going refurbished, this is a good offer: https://www.laptopstation.co.uk/products/hp-gaming-laptop-victus-15-fb0020na-amd-ryzen-5-16gb-ram-256gb-ssd-amd-graphics-15-6-144hz-fhd-screen

Looks decent, and very well priced as well. We don't have system requirements for FM25 yet, but I'd be shocked if this wasn't good enough.

The first one is likely to be the better one as it's a 8th gen i7, versus a 7th gen i5 here. What's your actual budget? There may well be better options available with more modern specs.

It would likely be ok - it doesn't give the full CPU model outside of it being an 8th gen i7, so it's hard to give an exact answer as to where it sits on the i7 range but I have no doubt it would run the game.

Your only options are probably starting a new game, or buying the in-game editor to change the club details.
