Fantastic start!

I'm wanting to scout players who receive call ups for certain international main squads and youth levels but I can't find an easy way to do this. For a club side I could get a team report but this isn't an option for an international side. I only want to keep track of a few nations but even 2/3 nations sees me assigning 100+ players to a week long assignment manually each international break and then there's no easy way to see which players I have already scouted and which ones I haven't. What are your tips for scouting international teams, please?

Love a good homegrown challenge, good luck! The squad on paper looks a million miles away from Premier League quality so you will have a job on this season to keep them up!

Ah Malaga, I very nearly went with them myself this year! This is great Warlock. Results are fantastic, hopefully you can keep building better sides and rise to the business end of La Liga nice and quickly, keep it up!

Great start! I'm looking forward to your development posts!

Absolutely flying!

Will follow... always had a soft spot for Wolves!

Oh boy that's a lot of numbers shrew! Really fascinating approach to the game and one I really wish I had the patience for! It's a massive shame about the bug. Have you given SI your findings or been in contact with staff? You've got a sufficient reputation within the community for them to take you seriously with this! One of my save ideas this year was to move away from possession-based 4-3-3 football which I'm just a bit bored of and go more counter attack... I'm loathed to start this now knowing what I know now. I just really hope that by the time I actually finish my beta save it will be fixed!

That financial table... I'm looking forward to reading more tactical posts Ben!

Fantastic start, really enjoying this.

I can't process how quickly you have flown through this. Great achievements so far and I sense you're nearly there!

Looks like I have lots to catch up on already! Your threads are always amazing Shrew so i'll brew some tea and get stuck in!

Great start Ben. Your tactical musings are superb. Your thought process is really clear and logical but the way you apply that to your tactical instructions is really interesting. It's stuff that if you take the time to delve into, its actually common sense (sorry!), but not many people do. I have a quick question on how you set up your training... I understand that if you think you will be, for example, defending against high balls you do more aerial defending. Regardless of the actual benefits, I like this. But... what if you have two games in a week? The analyst report for the second game might not get to you until say Thursday? So how do you plan ahead to prepare for that game too rather than just the first one?

I will definitely be jumping in here looking for youth development tips! Academies like Ajax's, Barcelona's etc fascinate me and how you apply the real life stuff to FM will be really interesting! Good luck and I hope you do better than Ajax in real life!
