So doing a "career" save. No real goals. Here's the high points:
1. Currently with my 4th club which happens to be the club I support.
2. Kept them from relegation when hired in first season, won the Premier League for the first time two seasons ago which qualified for the Champions League for the first time.
3. Three straight seasons with a Top 4 finish (plus the win) and in the third season won the Champions League.
4. Was hired as England National Manager in this past season. World Cup is in two years (after the second season upcoming).
So...my manager is 69 years old and will be 70 in the upcoming season. Do I go out on top with the Champion's League title...or do I keep going for at least two seasons and see what we can do in the WC?

In my playing (and watching You Tubers playing FM), most seem to assign training to their staff. The staff should automatically apply the teams tactics and position choices in their training. Example: If I have wingers but no AMC, why train a player as an AMC? Or in a 4-2-2-2 with 2 DM type players, two wide wingers and two strikers, why would my coach train a player in a natural CM position when we don't play that in any of our 3 tactics?

I had a young English player on his first contract with me. I couldn't get rid of the minimum fee release clause in his deal but the max he would sign was $99Million. Real Madrid came in after his first season and tried to get him for $40Million then immediately popped his release clause. I just looked and he signed a minimum fee of $563Million with RM. WHAAAAAA?!?

I was only able to register 23 due to only having 2 HGC players. It was my first year with the club having just been hired. By the way...why are my HGC kids the only ones I get offers on and then they get upset when I don't want to sell them? LOL FYI he was registered and playing in the league matches.

I have got to have the ability to ask a player who he wants me to bench or leave out of the squad when he comes in complaining about me leaving someone else out of the squad registration. This happens every window. I've got a fringe player that is 2* (Premier League) that was the one player left out of the Champions League registration. My captain and co captain both are part of a group complaining that I have something against him. It's not that...it's that I can't register him because of, you know, rules. Damn idiots. Put some common sense in the game boys.

Having issues with loans that I don't recall in prior versions. I have my Youth Director and Loan Director set to find loans for players listed for loan. I am seeing a lot of rejections, very high percentage. Then out of nowhere I'll get one for me to confirm or approve even though I don't have responsibilities for me to do that. Any help figuring out what they are (or are not) doing?

Go to Tactics>>Player then click on each of the two central defender spots. The player in question should be showing under each of the spots. Click on his name in both positions and give him a personalised instruction to play as a CD.
Awesome, thanks

How do I:
Pretty sure I saw this in a YT video a while back. I have a player in on loan. Part of the loan agreement (that I could not get removed in negotiations) is to play in a specific role. In this case center back as a central defender. My tactic calls for a BPD. So, how can I set a command to play that specific player as a CD even if my tactic calls for a BPD?

Finally got FM24 after some time away. Got the ME24WOFKnap424MHDMCP108ALLCUPS listed as the top overall tactic. Playing with Yeovil in the VNL South. We were favored to win the league this year. Just into February we are on a 33 match unbeaten run (30W 3D 0L) and an 80 GD. Sitting on 93 points, 34 points clear of H&R in 2nd position.

Seeing this alot in this version. I've got a young player, 21, he's been out on loan for three seasons. This is his first year in the team, we are 4 matches into the season. He has started all four matches and also two friendlies, so 100% of our matches since he joined the first team squad, he's started. So imagine my surprise when he voices concern that he isn't starting enough matches. Umm, and there is no response available to tell him to check the stats and settle down.

So the new setup for transfers where you get a range is a bit confusing. I was managing Newcastle and signed a player. He is valued at $93-$147M. I was forever getting bids in the 80-90M range with news articles stating possible bids for up to $118M. I've moved to another club and this Newcastle player just popped up in the news. His value is still the same (93-147) but the news article said that Tottenham are contemplating a breathtaking bid of $181M.
This is pretty consistent where whatever club I am at gets lowballed by the AI but then get legit offers when I leave and the club is AI run.

When I look at a player card and then (to the top right) click on Coach Summary, I am looking at the comparison field (player rankings at a position). However, even when I select a different position the comparison does not change. (IE) it defaults to Attacking Midfielder. However I want to look at this player in comparison to Midfield (Center). I use the drop down and select M (C) but the comparison stays at the default AM (C). How can I get this to convert correctly?

I find it ok when buying or bidding on players but as someone noted above it's almost worthless for my own players. The game gives all my players a range. Example I have a left back with a value of $61M. But offers cap out at 25-30M and a 100% cancellation of negotiations if I push beyond that. I sold a player for "near value" of $146M and immediately upon joining his new club his value was over $200M (both teams in the Premier League). Also I continue to get bully pricing on English players needing to go near double their valuation to buy but bids from other English teams on my English players are always lowballed with no chance to negotiate up.

I haven't managed a national club in a long time, maybe FM17. Just got hired by my home nation and the differences are big from clubs, even to how you can see your staff page and breakdown. Question here: I've posted for several jobs but never get an e-mail in game about potential applicants. Is this a bug or just a nuance of the national team situation? I can't even see what my allotment of staff is.

Thanks XaW, I'll give that a try.

So playing an LLM save. I have a semi-professional club that has made it to the Vanarama Natl League South and I have taken them over. I have youth players (current one is 17). When I offer them a contract they will ONLY take a Non Contract with an appearance fee and an unused Sub Fee. I cannot get them to take a part time contract.
This leaves them open to being poached on Frees and frustratingly enough from other clubs in the South/North level.
As I am doing a Youth Challenge, to build around the young players coming up in our system this significantly impacts the ability to do so. Any advice to help me here?

Hey guys, I am currently unemployed and just trying something. I am trying to go in and watch game highlights for league matches. I go to the league table, click on the score for the match I want to watch and the screen changes to show the lineups (to the left) (see attached screen shot).
However, when I hit WATCH GOALS to the top right, the screen doesn't do anything. The five leagues are listed as playable. I've tried several different matches, different days, and the goals never come up. I do note that it shows Paused to the left of the score but I've clicked on that with no changes.
Any ideas? BTW I've gone into a save where I am managing a team and confirmed that I can watch highlights on both my club that I am managing and other clubs I am not managing. Leads me to believe it's something in the settings for Match Reports or something maybe?

Thanks Hunter. Yes, development is what I meant. As I mentioned, I was led to believe that development only occurs in training so just looking for clarification for a new save I'm looking at.

If I have a young player, not sure if age matters, but say 17-21 years of age...if he is good enough to be in my starting XI does it benefit him to have that much playing time in his overall development OR does training improvement ONLY HAPPEN in training and not in matches? I've heard that in someones YouTube video that you can hurt a players development by playing him in actual matches rather than letting him develop in training only. What do you guys think?

You can take over the team, go on holiday, but before you do select the player in the position, but tell your assistant to use 'same starting 11' or whatever when you activate holiday.
I've seen a guy do this on some FM experiments on youtube
Yep, that's what I'm doing. Appreciate it!

Found a fix. There is a mod on the Steam Workshop that freezes transfers for a set period. Called Embargo.

I want to do an experiment but to run it I would need to force the AI to play a specific player in the Starting XI. Is there a way to do this (short of me managing the team)?

Hey guys, so never really mess with the database but what i want to do is sim the same season multiple times with consistent rosters. How would I set up the league to disable all transfers? I've started a new league to look at this but the only option seems to be to disable the first transfer window.
I'm only simulating one season over and over so the clubs don't need to sign anyone for the following season.
Any tips or suggestions on this? Thanks in advance.

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't such a list.
Good addition to future versions. Lol

Is delegating loans to your loan manager useless?

I like setting the DoF to handle all incoming deals but I retain the final approval. I think in real life a DoF does this and presents players to the manager.
