    The totally *not* official Advanced Access Speculation of FM24 - This time it’s speculative

    No one has confirmed that is going to happen as it did last year.  I saw one tweet this morning from one that did a video last year that said it would be cool if he could do a FM 24 to celebrate his anniversary.

    That kind of said to me that he hadn't done one & didn't expect to do one prior to release.

    Still guessing though!

    Kev would never break character and admit if if he had done anything.

    Trying to replicate Ange Postecoglou's Celtic

    If it was all about one player then I'd tend to agree but to get it to all work as a team I needed the DLF. The PF was too high and ended up out of the play. When I added the DLF I also needed to add the prevent short distribution to get the pressing like you mentioned. Someone smarter than me may be able to get it all to click with a PF but I certainly couldn't. It's the same reason why I didn't add press more instructions to individual players. I think on the surface people would say it has to be there but the out of possession instructions get the players to press hard anyway. They don't need the extra PI's to d the job.

    I seem to have it working okay with the PF, Kyogo bagged 30 goals, with Giakoumakis and Abada popping up with 20 each in my first season. I’m really excited for the fullbacks training to finally pay off and for their ratings to go up as IWB, realistically they’re all fairly well suited to it. I’m also using LW as an inverted winger rather than inside forward, i think Jota plays slightly deeper than Abada and doesn’t always look to score, I like him playing more of a creative role basically overflowing the midfield whilst Abada and Kyogo get the majority of the chances. I’ve dabbled with one of the CM’s as a cam but it dragged the team out of shape a little bit. Ironically I had a crap start before going on to win league, ECL and Scottish cup first season just like how Ange’s start was *****. Changing the DM into an anchor helped a bit for the tough away games and with McGregor ability on the ball, he still pulled the strings whilst sitting deeper. I’m also playing the IWB’s on support rather than attack, I don’t want them in the opposition box, they tend to play as defacto CM’s irl, one of them heads into the centre with McGregor allowing the CMs to go forward.

    Acht, cheers. During the earlier testing Celtic were spending huge (before budget data changed) in the second season but it was through sales. They were selling big, but in return, spending big, so we were trying to get Celtic to spend to avoid AI Peter waking up in sweats :lol:. It seems to be trial and error though! He's setup to negotitate the player/staff contracts and transfer targets contracts/finalise deals, with various attributes set to make him tight when splashing the cash and looking to get the best deal possible when selling. When you go in and ask for more in your budget, does he say ever say no?

    With Dermot Desmond set up to be the Celtic money man (resources in responsibilites) we're going to need to see if it's he, that also needs Lawwell esque attributes set, or if we need to set Lawwell to 'resources' to try and get Celtic acting like they do irl.

    Makes sense. Well he took my £43m for the start of season 2 and replaced it with £17m so he is kind of Lawwell like. Hope you guys can get a happy medium :)

    [Scotland] (Official) League Specific Issues

    in League Specific Issues

    Not a massive issue but Celtics game against St Mirren was originally scheduled for The midweek fixture list in august but was postponed due to that idiot Bolingoli. The game has it being played on the date it was moved to (September 16th) but if you get through the CL, that’s a champions league night which means it gets postponed and forced to play later on. Best thing to do IMO would be just to put it on the day it was originally scheduled like our game against Aberdeen is the Saturday after.

    I know James Forrest is a right winger but he can also play wing back. When Lennon started playing a 3-5-2, Forrest was mainly playing as the wing back before he got injured against Riga. 

    Would that position be able to be added to his profile, in terms of how good a wing back he is then that's debated I guess. 

    Tbf Forrest does have a profile at RWB but it’s unconvincing. I don’t think that’s wrong, he didn’t really operate in the RWB position despite being on the team sheet there.

    Aye, the Celtic money in the bank is one we haven't caught and we can only apologise for that. The 2020 accounts were released a few days after the Assistant researcher lockout. It should be adjusted to 18million to reflect their accounts but I'm not sure if we're going to be able to get it in. But it has been spotted.

    Peter Lawwell's attributes have been adjusted for 21 and he should be in charge of ingame negotiations, so we're hoping that he'll be a bit tighter in 21, to match his real life counterpart but we can only wait and see.

    Fwiw, the board just gave me £43m to spend in November. I’m aware of the finance issue obviously as I raised it but seems Pistol Pete is still not tight enough. I imagine he wakes up in hot sweats at the thought of spending that money

    Same with Duffy :D  You got anyone in mind for DM?  I'm thinking maybe one of Patrick Berg/Mathias Villasanti as Brown's long term replacement.  Then Ugarte, Campbell or even Ferguson for back up depending on their potential.  Will probably loan out Soro and see how he gets on.

    I don’t have a clue till I see the DB. I like abusing Scandinavia so might try to get a loan to tide me through first season and scout from there
