No idea how they've managed to be so bad. They've spent a fair chunk of money over the past 2 seasons.. £3.5m in league one. Gained promotion. £8.5m in first season back in championship. Solidified their position. £35m in 3rd season - (£22.5m of this was 2 agreed transfers at end of season) Then a further £28.5m first season back in Prem. In this period there have been no significant outgoings signing wise. They will however have a side more than capable of going back up. They'll likely keep some of that squad due to them being loans that have since been made permanent.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned him on this thread just yet but.. Andrei Borza - Rapid Bucuresti - LB - Absolutely insane player. If you catch him with a high enough PA then you are looking at an assist machine.

Nope, On the only save I did with LFC (only got through one season before giving it up) I had Bradley at RB - He has fantastic speed and if given chances he develops amazingly. And had moved Trent to CM as DLP

I remember a few years back.. IRL Derby had the worst PL season ever.. Football Manager: Hold my glass...

This is sheer filth. Absolutely disgusting

I feel like the loan system is broken.. Reason for feeling this is when I look at a player that is 'Loan' listed and feel he would strengthen my team. No soon as I look to bring him in on loan the Ai immediately is demanding £150k playing fee, £150k loan fee (Figures will vary) and also want all wages paid for both playing and non playing. As well as wanting some kind of bonus dependant on either being promoted/not relegated/winning some kind of cup. Then on the other hand if I list a player for loan the AI will generally bid £0 loan fee for both playing/non playing and also want to pay none of the player in questions wages. Try and negotiate this and they immediately withdraw from negotiations. I've even tried to do loans on final day of the window as demands sometimes go away, but for some reason on the current save none of the teams are budging on their demands towards me, yet when another Ai controlled team comes in for that player he usually goes for way way less than what the Ai is asking of me. All this despite me offering guaranteed first team football. Anyone have any insight into why it's sooooooo bad. Also as a minor footnote. Quite a few times over various saves Clubs have offered first team football for one of my players only to then not even play him thus stagnating his progress. This really does need fixing.

Another sub from me too.. I've already watched a couple of your vids before this one. Thought I'd already subscribed before now

£6m release clause at RKC Please, Thanks, Bye. This lad is coming straight into my first team squad, First he'll be my Inverted fullback. Then in about 3 seasons time when he's starting to hopefully hit his potential he'll be shifted over to become the cornerstone of my defence. Few things to work on, but he'll become a legend.

Calvert Lewin, Beto, Sesko, Pio Esposito (With some training from young) should be good enough. My go to striker this year is Pio Esposito, with sufficient training he can become a beast. Edit: I forgot Scamacca - easily one of the next best available, bit pricey though at £50-80m

Id like to think that any and all coaches assigned per category attribute to the overall quality of training as well as helping with the workload.

Cheers mate

@MAECK what skin are you using please

This was the 4-3-3 I was attempting to get working. With a mid block, Rather than High press like we seem to see on every tactic. Still very much a work in progress.

I know Wilson doesn't have AML on his positions but he's definitely a good option to stick out on the left as a standard winger throwing bombs onto the top of Kieffer's head, Not sure how he'd play though. On the opposite side side You've got James to do the same with Johnson as a PF. I believe you also have the likes of Matondo and Brooks for backup till some crazy good regens come through. Alternatively a 4-2-3-1 with 2 CM, IF or IW on both Sides, AP behind big Kieffer with more direct passing and more crossing. Us Welsh don't have an embarrassment of riches, but they have guts and determination by the bucketload (Normally). I've never done an all Welsh squad from the get go, Only ever tried it after a good few seasons into the game as the youth that is coming through right now (in game) isn't the greatest. I feel inspired now to do an all Welsh club!

Ravel Morrison springs to mind. Ability in abundance. But mentality was shocking. Jordan Ibe another. Burst onto the scene, Failed at Liverpool as he wasn't putting enough into his development, went to Bournemouth, then lower and lower down the league pyramid.

Looks like Rayan Cherki has taken a hit.. Doesn't look as class on my current save. Either that or he's not got much game time.

They say no M.E changes. Yet a 4-2-3-1 which was serving me really well, no longer is as good as it was prior to the latest update. Start of last season on my other save I had 6 clean sheets in 8 games, 21 overall in 38 games. New save and struggling to not concede I'll give it at least till January but at this rate I'll be lucky to get 10 clean sheets at seasons end.

You can also ask them to pay a percentage of the wages too!

Easily replicable too

I've got an Alonso setup. Just need to tinker with it. Trying to find that sweet spot between keeping out goals but also scoring some..

Same with another of my FM faves of the past 2 years Tomasso Baldanzi now at Roma

He's signed for Bayern IRL hasn't he... Another bargain wonderkid gone

First season. With an updated database to include the January transfers as of 2/1/24 Never in my years of FM have I enjoyed such a ding dong of a battle. If my side were better then this would be immense to play with. We'll see how it is in a season or two when I've upgraded players. But I have enjoyed the past 10 games immensely even if I don't enjoy conceding that many

On training screen there are 2 separate categories - Quickness and Strength. Yet no real way to distinguish between either category when choosing Fitness coaches. Can S.I implement something to be able to do the above - would be as simple as adding strength/quickness attributes onto coaches. It gets a little tedious when you get messages telling you that 2 or 3 of your fitness coaches aren't suited to coaching that particular category despite being a highly rated fitness coach.
