[Player is "somewhat interested in renewing [contract]" but refuses to negotiate and leaves on a free]

Hi, I have the same issue with 3 - 4 of my players.  For this player I also got the message that the player was unsettled due to wanting a new contract.  Even after the chat, I get the same message.  I've uploaded a save just prior to the unsettled message - Cow.fm

Thanks

Sorry wrong topic

Thanks both - yeah I tend to play with just the main European leagues plus UK & Ireland and I still get OK speeds to be honest.   I find anything up to around 75k player count still runs fine, even into the future. 

 

From a detail perspective i Just run the major international tournaments plus the division I'm in and that nations cup competitions ion full.  That gives me enough depth to feel immersed and it dosen't seem to run too slow.

My results below:

Type: Desktop

CPU Model: Intel Core i7 2600

CPU Base Frequency: 3.40 Ghz (I have never fiddled with this)

RAM: 16GB DDR3

RAM Clockspeed: 665 MHz (Not sure whether this is the right number)

GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB

Storage Type: SSD

Benchmark A: 02 Mins 09 Secs

Benchmark B: 15 Mins 18 Secs

Benchmark C: 16 Mins 56 Secs

So no surprise I'm at the lower end of the time as my build is pretty old now.  Any idea's or suggestions to improve speed without upgrading my PC ?

[[FM20][SKIN] Base Skin with Backgrounds Support]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to add an instant result button to this skin ?  I have the Wannachup fm20 skin.  Is it possible to take some files from that and use with this skin ?

I'm not creating enough, and seem to be giving up to many chances. I let my assistant do OI as i'm great at it. I don't know if its a problem with the match engine but I don't score any long shots and my one and one conversions isn't very good.

I'll post my last match stats up in a minute, i'm huge favourites but am getting dominated.

Personally I would try switching my passing to direct as you are looking to play on the break. I would also play wider as you are employing wing backs. You could also try hassle opponents so that you can try and win the ball back higher up the pitch as you are sitting deep

[Pairs & Combinations FM2015 - UPDATED]

So finally I end up with this:

Goalkeeper* - Defend

Full Back - Support - Central Defender - Defend - Central Defender - Defend - Wing Back - Attack

Box to Box Midfielder*** - Support - Deep Lying Playmaker** - Defend

Winger - Attack - Advanced Playmaker**** - Support - Inside Forward***** - Support

Advanced Forward - Attack

* Distribute to Defenders

** Ball Winning Midfielder when Flamini plays

*** Deep Lying Playmaker when Flamini plays

**** Roams from Position

***** Sits Narrower

This was a great read - extremely detailed and thought provoking. I run a very similar system to the above although I use a DLF - support as my striker, with the AM on a attack role and some different CM settings. This is to fit the players I have at my disposal. I do exactly the same with counter/control strategy's and on occasion I drop the CM back to a DM position if the AI is finding too much space in front of my back four. I have tried to use a Ball Playing Defender as my defensive outlet simply because I wanted to try something different. I haven't yet quite got the right player, in that role, but its been an interesting exercise that I will persist with.
