Funny you should mention media, in half a season with Wolves I was never asked a question ever by the media, I didn't even get a new job press conference. I'm pleased but I did think it was a bit odd.

Exactly the same for me. Half way through my second season now and not been asked a question from the press yet!

We can only offer photos where we hold the relevant license.

And where is this?

[help me make up my mind (ipad pro vs laptop)]

I use an iPad Pro (with the magic keyboard / trackpad) for FMT and it runs very well (albeit I watch in 2D mode) but the speed of the general gameplay is very impressive.

There are some slight restrictions however, importing graphics and tactics is nowhere near as easy on an iPad and scrolling up and down menus can be frustrating as the trackpad isn’t fully supported as it would be on a traditional laptop trackpad, hopefully this is fixed in the new game but I’ll not be holding my breath on this one....

[FMT Wishlist Thread]

I really hope there is support for the Apple Magic Trackpad for iPad which you’d think would be a fairly standard request given this game is aimed at tablet users....

[[FMT 20] DoF Challenge]

I don't believe the full version has the "Instant Result" feature that FMT does, therefore you'd have to play each match and as a result make a sub when there was an injury or a red card, etc.

Whereas with the "Instant Result", the assistant is in full charge of all of that and you simply see the full time result and are not involved in any decisions during the match itself.

[[FMT 20] DoF Challenge]

Note: This will only work with FMT as it involves the "Instant Result" feature

I've seen DoF type challenges mentioned before where you simply put the DoF in full control of incoming and outgoing signings and you simply act as the head coach by choosing the tactics and selecting the team, but this challenge flips that around and puts you in control of all transfers but you leave the match day choices to your assistant manager / head coach.

Here's how it works:

- You setup the formation, style of play, etc. at the start of the season and then look to build a squad that will be able to fit into this system as best as possible

- You're in charge of all the incomings and outgoings for both playing and non-playing staff as well as contract negotiations 

- However, on match day you must allow the assistant manager to select the starting 11 and subs by using the "Quick Pick" feature. You cannot change the team or subs no matter how frustrating it may be that you're new star signing may be picked out of position or even not picked at all

- You then must "Instant Result" all matches with no further instructions (such as "Play for the win", etc.) allowed to be used

- If results aren't going your way you can of course choose to change the formation / style of play or even replace the assistant manager, it was probably his fault all along...

 

Happy to hear thoughts on any other rules / features this challenge could include
