That is a screen, I cannot get on with. I need an octogon to read a player lol

I really wasn’t enjoying the idea I’d picked. The beta made it hard to concentrate on what could work and what couldn’t with what I’d decided. So I decided to go for something that I’d enjoy

Ooh. Sexy!

Fabulous tactical work as ever

Oof, that's an ending for you

Very interested in this. Good luck!

First Team Interesting mix of players. we have far too many attacking wingers, so there will need some cutting of deadwood there. We also don't have much in the way of ML's either. Youth Team Not much in the way of quality here. Looks like we'll have to wait for the facilites to improve

Welcome Expectations

Göteborgs Atlet- och Idrottssällskap (meaning Gothenburg's Athletics and Sports Association), commonly referred to as GAIS or Gais, is a Swedish football club based in Gothenburg. The club is affiliated to the Göteborgs Fotbollförbund and play their home games at Gamla Ullevi. Fans also refers to the club as Grönsvart (green-black) or Makrillarna (the Mackerels) because of the traditional shirt colours. GAIS is one of the oldest football clubs in Sweden. The club was a founding member of Allsvenskan and also the first champions of the league. They have won a total of four national championship titles, five league championship titles and one national cup title. Even though GAIS have played 49 seasons in Allsvenskan they only spent six years in the top division during a 30-year period from 1976 to 2005, with another six seasons of that time spent as low as the third division. The club thus gained the reputation of being a yo-yo club, constantly going up and down through the league system. After their promotion in 2005 the club played seven straight seasons in Allsvenskan which was a feat not achieved since the degradation in 1955. After relegation in 2012 they finished seventh in Superettan in 2013 and has remained there since. According to polls, GAIS are the second most supported club in Gothenburg, with 12% of the people in the city who follow a football team claiming to have GAIS as their favorite side. Their supporters have traditionally been perceived as coming from the working class-districts of Gothenburg and having left wing sympathies. even though research on the subject couldn't conclude that this were more true than for other clubs. Their supporters are also perceived as being loyal, despite whatever hardships the club may face. The oldest and primary GAIS supporter group is called Makrillarna (meaning the Mackerels) and was founded in 1961. During the 2018 season the club chose to allow a supporter to act as an assisting manager for a single game, against Halmstads BK in September, which at the time were unique amongst Swedish football clubs. The club and its supporters harbour a fierce rivalry with Gothenburg's other traditional working-class team IFK Göteborg. Attendance rates are normally around 4500–7000 when playing in top tier Allsvenskan and 3000–4000 in second tier Superettan with greater numbers attending against local rivals IFK Göteborg, Örgryte IS and IF Elfsborg as well as the biggest teams from Stockholm and Skåne. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you remember my previous thread, I was just having absolutely no fun with it and it was a chore to play. So I made a choice and got rid of it, in the hope of just playing my way and regaining that spark. So this is my save. They're also known as the team of the local Dock Workers, so we will be looking at Stamina, Determination and Work Rate in every player coming into the club and looking to use the youth system as much as possible!.

I had a great asymmetrical formation on FM22

Some good results this month

Good work so far. 3.Liga is a ***** to get out of. I never had the issues with poaching that you've had however!

Interesting! I'll keep an eye on this one

Depends where the goals came from. It's an extreme example, but if they were all long shots or tight angles, then it *could* be realistic

I’ll be honest, I’ll probably wait for the release to see if anything changes now, otherwise this could be the shortest FM on record for me. I cannot see anything that has changed in my limited time. The much vaunted ME changes are…not really visible to me? The animations are still iffy and the goalie animations still don’t fit what I see on a weekly basis at football. I don’t care about the level of graphics like some, but wrong animations do hurt the immersion. Granted I’m playing Catenaccio football in Serie C, but there are things that don’t seem half as intuitive as FM22, certainly focusing play down a certain flank or watching a tightly marked and closed down player be exactly where he should be, but my tight markers are nowhere near them. I’ve noticed a lot of outside of the boot shots going straight as well. The scouting is another issue I think. I bought this FM because I haven’t used scouts since the last time they revamped it and this seemed like a step forward. It is not, in my opinion. I am very much “I was a certain type of player and nothing else will do”, but I was intrigued by the near misses idea, but everyone that was recommended to me was way off on something (the point of it), but it was such a specific focus, that being off by that much meant I was not interested. Also, the focuses seemed to take on a life of their own. It may be that I need to sack my DoF (who has zero control over anything) as he kept putting in a 17-22 recruitment focus, even after being deleted, when all I wanted was a 17-19 focus. Squad planner isn’t as intuitive as it could be and quite frankly it was quicker to go my own way rather than use it. I can see it being a good thing if you sign players after Jan so you can see where you need to sell, but again, it’s a multi-click mess. I think this is my jumping off point for FM, as it doesn’t cater for my style of management, which is fine, we all grow out of games and SI have done a stunning job keeping me interested since ‘93! But everything good about FM23 was in FM22 so far

Yes, the new patch changes it

Good luck with this

I am more bothered that I want my defenders going to the toilet with the player at half time, such is the closeness of marking and closing down. So why are they standing there when a ball is coming in. I have no problem if they move and get beat, that's life, but to not move seems contrary to my instructions

Having some serious issues with static defences. Our backline just stands still whilst opposition players run through

I think you can improve this season. Took me 4 seasons to get out of the division on 22

Nice work. Good luck with this

Starting with Siena in Serie C and looking to bring Catenaccio back! Which leads to goals like this

BOOOOOOOOOOOO Call up Cairney and Bowie

Bring in Tom Cairney FFS

No sense of theatre. Much like the Scots IRL… Good luck with this
