  1. Stop. Stop. Just stop. And think.

    You have not shown us your tactics even once. Have you not thought for one second that you might be doing something wrong?

    Look at the average xG of your opponents:

    • Lyngby (0.37 from 2 shots = average: 0.18)
    • FC Kobenhavn (1.11 from 8 shots = average: 0.14)
    • Silkeborg (1.00 from 3 shots = average: 0.33)
    • Silkeborg (1.62 from 7 shots = average: 0.23)
    • Peterborough Sports (0.40 from 3 shots = average: 0.13)
    • Hereford (1.16 from 5 shots = average: 0.23)
    • Boston Utd (0.80 from 8 shots = average: 0.10)
    • King's Lynn (0.34 from 4 shots = average: 0.08)
    • Brackley (1.26 from 9 shots = average: 0.14)
    • Spennymoor (0.77 from 8 shots = average: 0.09)
    • Tamworth (0.63 from 6 shots = average: 0.10)
    • Granada (0.71 from 5 shots = average: 0.14)
    • Vejle (0.55 from 4 shots = average: 0.13)
    • Vejle (1.04 from 8 shots = average: 0.13)
    • Brondby (0.98 from 4 shots = average: 0.25)
    • Hvidovre (1.30 from 5 shots = average: 0.26)
    • OB (0.51 from 5 shots = average: 0.10)
    • Toulouse (2.42 from 7 shots = average: 0.34)
    • Kobenhavn (0.69 from 6 shots = average: 0.11)

    In most of those cases, you're giving up an average of over 0.1 xG per shot. In several cases, it's over 0.2.

    From what precious little you have given up, I can probably assume that your tactic is ultra-aggressive, with hardly anyone being left to defend against counter-attacks. Hence the chances you give up are often higher-quality ones that the opposition have at least a decent chance of scoring. You cannot always blame the goalkeeper if there aren't enough defenders back to help him out.

    I hate to be the one who says "it's your tactics"... but in this case, it could be your tactics. But unless you show us your tactical setup, we cannot say anything for sure.

  2. I'm in the January window right now, and while this doesn't happen with every AI loan offer, it is happening quite often.

    I want to offer out two of my Under-21s players - Seanan Nethercott and Marvin Procter - on loan for 50% wage contribution and an agreed playing time of Regular Starter. After continuing for a couple of days, I eventually receive these offers.

    CFuller_NethercottOffer1.thumb.png.56e6d8a4c6f9fdb09aa1f708711223c5.png

    South Shields want Nethercott, but only as a Fringe Player and with 0% wage contribution. I negotiate to Important Player, and it takes three attempts before South Shields finally agree.

    CFuller_NethercottOffer2.thumb.png.d0364f21787e70c41447ca3d847e34fb.png

    A while later, I get four more silly offers for Nethercott, which I negotiate to 50% wage contribution and Important Player APT.

    Gillingham and Raith Rovers take three attempts before they agree to any wage contribution and a Regular Starter APT. Burton are happy with a high wage contribution but will not budge past Fringe Player. Wycombe will not budge at all.

    CFuller_ProcterOffer.thumb.png.689b1113c81d5b932ff0d0f72efd13c1.png

    Five silly offers for Procter - the ones you see above, plus another offer from Wycombe. Same negotiations as with Nethercott.

    Port Vale take three attempts before they agree to a wage contribution and Regular Starter. Doncaster and Gillingham agree to Important Player but no wage contribution. Wigan and Wycombe will not budge at all.

    Thank you for a better representation of the problem, even as a Sweden I didn't even know that it is actually Mellersta instead of Väst :idiot: Shows how much I pay attention to youth football

    No, I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be North, South, East and West in real life (appears they changed it from North, South and Central this year). It's just that my namefix calls it the Central division instead of the West division.

  4. I'd like to back this issue up if nobody minds. I'm not from Sweden, and I'm not an expert on the Swedish league - but this is a league I'm interested in managing in on FM24.

    I holidayed through the 2023 season, and then up until the U21 Allsvenskan teams were generated at the start of the 2024 season. I'm seeing very similar issues to @HurkaDurk69:

    • The six northernmost teams (AIK, Degerfors, Djurgarden, Hammarby, Norrkoping and Skovde) were all assigned to the Sodra (South) division.
    • The next four northern teams (Hacken, GAIS, Elfsborg, Goteborg) were assigned to the Norra (North) division.
    • The six southernmost teams (Helsingborg, Kalmar, Landskrona, Malmo, Mjallby, Trelleborg) were assigned to the Mellersta (Central) division. In the vanilla game without any namefixes, this is called the West division, but Kalmar are on the east coast.
    • The other five southern teams went to the East division, but none of them can be classed as 'eastern' teams. Halmstad, Orgryte and Varberg are on the west coast. Varnamo and Oster are more central.

    I made this Google Map to illustrate more clearly what is happening.

    As far as I can tell, the structure of the U21 Allsvenskan in-game seems to work like it does in reality. The groupings themselves also make sense (e.g. we're not seeing teams from Stockholm and Malmo in the same regional division), but the divisons they have been assigned to do not.

    I've uploaded two save files to the OwnCloud. CFuller_SwedishTest23.fm is from before the season changeover, and CFuller_SwedishTest24.fm is from after the season has changed over and the groups have been assigned. If you need anything else, please let me know.

  5. I'm seeing a lot of goals in my Millwall save as well.

    In the 2023/2024 season, there were an average 3.11 goals per match in the Championship. Norwich scored 109 goals and conceded 69. Seven teams scored at least 80 goals, and six teams conceded at least 80.

    Selected results from that season:

    • Norwich 8-2 Ipswich (Shots on target: 14-3)
    • Sunderland 5-5 QPR (Shots on target: 9-6)
    • Bristol City 3-6 Blackburn (Shots on target: 7-10)
    • QPR 4-4 Stoke (Shots on target: 6-6)

    CFuller_Season1.thumb.png.629da6912fe421f27bae73737af918cb.png

    I'm now about 34 matches into the 2024/2025 season, and the average is just under 3.10 goals per match. Sheffield United have scored 94 goals in 34 matches and are on course to break the league record (122) that has stood since 1927.

    I've also seen the following scorelines this season:

    • Sheffield United 7-3 Plymouth (Shots on target: 11-3)
    • Sheffield United 9-0 Cardiff (Shots on target: 17-0)
    • Norwich 6-3 Sunderland (Shots on target: 19-5)
    • Sunderland 6-3 Sheffield Wednesday (Shots on target: 15-4)
    • Ipswich 5-4 Fulham (Shots on target: 6-6)
    • Sunderland 6-2 Birmingham (Shots on target: 15-4)

  6. Yes, this has been happening quite a bit since FM23. It seems like players aren't really aware of what's going on around them.

    Here's one example from my save. At around 45:00 in the first half, Millwall's left-winger Longman hits a long ball up to Watmore, who runs away from the ball as soon as it gets near him, leaving Huddersfield with an easy interception.

    Will post more examples when I see them.

    CFuller_Huddersfield v Millwall.pkm

  7. More examples:

    Blackburn v Millwall
    37:00 - Millwall goalkeeper Bialkowski sidesteps through his side netting as Blackburn prepare to take a corner.
    81:15 - Blackburn goalkeeper Wahlstedt goes through his post while trying to stop a header from Millwall's Hutchinson, which goes over the bar.
    90:55 - Millwall's Abdulmalik walks through Blackburn's Adam Wharton.

    Millwall v West Brom 
    85:25 - Millwall goalkeeper Sarkic dives through his post trying to save a deflected header.

    Rotherham v Millwall
    47:55 - Millwall goalkeeper Sarkic jumps through his post trying to save a header from Rotherham's Quansah, which goes over the bar.

    Huddersfield v Millwall
    51:05 - Huddersfield goalkeeper Nicholls dives through his post trying to save a shot from Millwall's Norton-Cuffy, which goes over the bar.

    Millwall v Leicester
    39:10 - Watmore runs through the referee.
    41:45 - Millwall's Longman and Leicester's Justin go through each other twice in a matter of seconds.

    Millwall v Cardiff
    7:45 - Millwall's Billy Mitchell runs through Cardiff's Ugbo to win the ball, and Ugbo then tackles through him seconds later. 

    Swansea v Millwall
    26:25 - Millwall goalkeeper Sarkic goes through his near post after catching a header from Swansea's Yates.

    Millwall v Leicester
    23:50
    - Longman hits a swerving shot for Millwall towards the top-right corner of Hermansen's goal. Hermansen dives to his right and saves, but pushes it wide past his left-hand post.

  10. More examples:

    Millwall v Watford
    8:25 - After a long ball from Millwall's right-back McNamara goes too far, Watford's left-back Lewis decides to head it across to his centre-back Porteous rather than wait to control it or let it go out of play.
    47:00 (first half) - A spell of needlessly messy head tennis in Millwall's area, starting with McNamara heading away a cross from Lewis.
    46:30 (second half) - After Millwall goalkeeper Bialkowski saves a shot from Watford right-back Andrews, Millwall midfielder Campbell heads the ball clear. I feel like he could wait a little longer to clear more effectively with his feet.
    58:10 - Watford's Koné clears a cross from Esse with a header out wide. His team-mate Ince then makes another headed clearance for no obvious reason.

    Rotherham v Millwall
    26:25
    - After a shot from Millwall forward Esse is blocked by two Rotherham defenders, a third defender Morrison decides to head it back to his goalkeeper Johansson rather than pass it back.
    94:35 - Rotherham's Tiéhi sends a long ball into the Millwall box but is unlikely to find Lembikisa on the right wing. Millwall left-back Scales still decides to head it forward instead of waiting a bit longer to control and clear.

    Millwall v Leicester
    83:05 - A shot from Leicester's Daka is blocked by Millwall centre-back Harding. The ball bounces up to Millwall right-back McNamara, who heads it back to goalkeeper Sarkic - the ball bouncing dangerously close to Daka.

  11. More examples:

    Millwall v Norwich
    27:00 - Norwich defender Hanley hits a long ball down the left. Millwall right-back McNamara decides to knock it across to his team-mate Campbell in a dangerous situation, and it is intercepted by Rowe, starting a counter-attack.

    Bristol City v Millwall
    62:20 - A clearance from Bristol City keeper Bajic is headed back into the City area by Millwall left-back Norton-Cuffy.
    63:15 - Millwall defender Cooper heads away a corner. As the ball bounces out of the Millwall box, Bristol City's Benarous attempts a couple of headers before his half-volley is blocked.

    Millwall v Reading
    29:30 - Reading defender Yiadom clears a Norton-Cuffy long ball out of the penalty area with a diving header when something less fancy would have made more sense.
    42:45 - Millwall midfielder Honeyman hits a long ball towards the centre circle for Esse, who pointlessly heads it on to a Reading defender.
    45:10 (second half) - A headed clearance from Reading's Holmes is headed off the touchline by Millwall's Longman to his team-mate Emakhu, who pointlessly heads it into the Reading area.
    53:50 - Reading's Mola hits a long ball towards the far side of the Millwall penalty area. It looks like the right-back Norton-Cuffy should cover it, but the Millwall goalkeeper Bialkowski charges out with a headed clearance that is intercepted by Azeez.
    62:10 - Millwall and Reading play head tennis. A throw-in from Millwall right-back Leonard is followed by four consecutive headers.

    Millwall v Middlesbrough
    0:10 - Bryan crosses the ball to his Millwall team-mate Bradshaw on the edge of the centre circle. For no reason whatsoever, Bradshaw heads it back about 40 yards to his centre-back Cooper, rather than flick it on to Campbell.
    7:45 - Bryan plays the ball down the line for Emakhu. Instead of running onto it, Emakhu plays a wasteful header into the Middlesbrough box, ending a potential attack.
    93:50 - Millwall right-back Norton-Cuffy intercepts a Middlesbrough ball but makes a very risky header outside his penalty area to goalkeeper Sarkic. It would be more understandable if Norton-Cuffy just tried to clear the ball into touch.

    QPR v Millwall
    64:35 - Millwall striker Bradshaw flicks the ball towards QPR's penalty area. QPR defender Cannon waits for the ball to bounce and then plays a risky header that is intercepted by Bradshaw. He should have either cleared the ball with his feet or passed back to Begovic.

    Millwall v Sheffield Wednesday
    26:20 - Millwall defender Hutchinson plays the ball far too high to right-winger Esse, who can only head it to a Sheffield Wednesday defender.

  12. More examples:

    Millwall v Norwich
    8:05 - Millwall's Emakhu runs through the referee to try to reach a clearance from Norwich's McLean.

    Millwall v Middlesbrough
    47:00 (second half) - After scoring Millwall's second goal, Emakhu runs through Middlesbrough player McNair and Millwall team-mate Bradshaw during his celebration.

    QPR v Millwall
    73:10 - Millwall forward Emakhu walks through QPR defender Cook, just as Cook plays a back-pass.

    Millwall v Preston
    67:55 - Millwall forward Watmore runs through Preston right-back Ramsay twice in a matter of seconds.
    80:55 - Millwall goalkeeper Trueman dives through his post and across the byline as a header from Preston striker Keane goes over the bar.

    Millwall v Sheffield Wednesday
    0:00 - Emakhu walks through his Millwall team-mate Mitchell pretty much as soon as the match kicks off. Perhaps a positional error at kick-offs? (I'm using a basic 4-4-2 formation, by the way.)
    4:35 - Wednesday's Buckley appears to go through Emakhu as he passes back to Famewo.
    93:20 - Millwall defenders Cooper and Scales appear to go through each other as Cooper makes a clearance.

    If I delete the dat file will it add scores to managers in game so Jose Mourinho's HOF will change if he wins a cup with Roma in my save? I don't need to fix  current save just planning for FM24, cant do my main save on the channel if the HOF isnt working properly. I think because i no do online drafts etc I think thats where everyones data has come from.

    Deleting the DAT file does not affect AI managers. Any trophies that Mourinho wins with Roma will still be added to his record in the save, even if you delete the DAT file.

  15. This isn't just you, and this isn't just on FM23. This has been happening for years.

    This happens because Hall of Fame data is saved to a DAT file on your public documents folder (if you're on Windows, you can find it at C:\Users\Public\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 20xx\hall_of_fame.dat) rather than the save file itself. Every time you load a different save file, any HoF data from that save is added to the hall_of_fame.dat file. For example, if you have a lot of success on one save file and then decide to start a new career, all your previous success will still appear in the HoF on your new save.

    I presume the reason you've got so many strangers in your HoF is because you loaded up a save file which came from another user - probably a user who had also loaded save files from other users, which were then added to their own hall_of_fame.dat file.

    The only workaround right now is to DELETE the hall_of_fame.dat file. This will stop previous manager honours appearing in any new saves, though I'm not sure if this works on already-started saves.

    I've argued for a long time now that Hall of Fame data should be exclusive to one save file and should not appear on other saves. Hope SI can finally sort this out for FM24 or FM25.
