Neil Here is my screenshot of my save option screen (under preferences). I don't believe I've ever changed anything in here. I've always used the 3 rolling saves. The save folder is the default from install and setup (to the best of my knowledge).

I had played a game earlier today after the 20.4 update...no noted issue. Later today got the 20.4 hotfix. Loaded my save, was playing. Got to the "autosave" point and got an "unable to save game" notification. I ended up having to manually save into a new save name. Hasn't appeared to be a problem since doing so.

With the new season bearing down and awaiting the reveal of new kits it struck me how big that is for clubs and fans. It would be nice to have design input (coloration etc) and then with the sponsor rollout you could have a photo of the new kit with the sponsor name on it. Maybe even fan responses and see an increase/decrease depending on how it's received.

Home Tactic Away Tactic
Invincibles Season with only one loss in all competitions. Unfortunately, This is the FA Cup Final.
it was the second leg of the Champions League Semi Finals against
AC Milan. We won the home leg 2-1 and lost the away leg 0-1 giving them
the win on away goals. We won the treble, Premier, FA Cup and Carabao.
We were 7-2 odds in the preseason to finish 3rd in the league. Our leading goal scorer had 41 goals in 49 matches, 26 in 30 in the Premier.

A strong season. Tons of goals but Man City had a beast of a year.

So how viabile is it to play with a lower league club and build them up to a top level? Now a couple of clarifications...
1. I know this CAN be done as I've done it and seen it done. So What am I asking (for clarification)?
...The game does not seem to do a good job allowing a club to truly grow along with success on the pitch. Stadium expansion, fan attendance, none of that stuff seems to stay up to par with any success on the pitch. I've seen guys go from the Vanarama South (or lower) to the Premier League and still only be drawing 3,000 fans because they don't draw squat and don't have (and don't really need) stadium space for more.
- So anyone have thoughts on this to how to better mirror success for these clubs without have to jump ship for bigger income and budgets?

Yes. But I could promote an employee from within and he wouldn't turn down a promotion..lol.

This season I was with Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in the Scottish League Two. We'd just been relegated and were picked to win the league this year, my first with the club. I used RDF's tweaked tactics with the 442.
Club records for clean sheets, fewest defeats, fewest draws and most wins. Had the league player of the year. Auto promotion to League One. I'll continue with these tactics, probably moving away from the "home" tactic and going with the Away and "Big Away" options.

So I put out an ad for a new Asst. Manager. One of the applicants was my U18 Asst. Coach. I wanted to promote him, however when I click on Offer Contract, it tells me he just signed a contract and won't discuss a new one. So how can I actually move this guy to a new role?

Hello,
It's kinda confusing reading through all the comments to figure out which tactic works best? Now starting as Strasbourg in France.. could anybody point me in the right direction for tactics that would work? @knap
Thanks
Checks his Google Doc in the first post. He lists all the tactics down the left side and then shows the TOP, Sub Top, etc across the top. Top is the top four club (Liverpool, City, etc), the Sub Top is teams 4-7 and so forth. See where you are projected to finish in France and apply accordingly. I had some success using 442 tactics but going Cautious with the Trap turned off in getting out of the Championship. Also, RDF has done some tweaks (do a search in the Google list for RDF and it will highlight his tactics with tweaks) and using a Home and an Away option.

If you get a team promoted to the Premier, at what point would you consider them to be a Top or SubTop team?

So I've been doing OK in FM20, usually meeting expectations but never really doing better. I've won 3 trophies in 30 years of play. I just restarted my journeyman save with a new manager and after reading some info from RDF and knap the last few days I've changed my setup and gone with a home tactic, an away tactic and a third tactic for when I am a severe underdog or against a bigger club. The home tactic I am using is the Black Echo from 20.3.0 with the RDF tweaks that put up 101 points. I'm using the same tactic listed as "away" for my base away or home as a close underdog/draw option. The 20.4.0 Tequila Sunrise with 93 points and the RDF tweaks is my "Big Away" option.
I'm playing in Scottish League 2 as Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic. We are expected to win the league by the board but were picked 3rd at 3-1 in the preseason preview. The Peterhead match on Aug 22 was the first match I switched over to these three tactics and it's been a strong run of form thusfar. By far the best overall run I've had with a club outside maybe my Karlskrona side a few months ago. What's been really impressive is the slew of goals, 32, which is 11 more than the next club and also the defense, 6 allowed which is best in the league although Gala Fairydean have allowed just 9. 11W 1D 1L after 13 matches in the league but 9W and 1D after the tactical change. The lone loss was by a mere 1-0 score to a club in hte Airtricity Premier which is the #25 rated league in Europe, just below the Championship in England. League 2, our league, ranks #115 overall in line with Airtricity First Division.
I usually play Journeyman style saves so I'm with lower tier teams alot so reading into ranking with Liverpool and stuff has been difficult as best since this year has required various tactics at varying levels to work. Thanks to knap for all the hard work and I wanted to share my successes thusfar with the changes made.

I took it out of the google doc post, as the testing is not available.
I have a sub top column (MU Spurs Arsenal)
and underdog (Norwich)
That was it. Thanks. Between that and your earlier post I was going to start my next season and try the Home/Away tactics that you mentioned. See if that helps me any.

I was browsing yesterday and came across a post and reply (reply was by knap) on explaining the levels to the tactics (Sub, Away, Sub Top, etc). I'm looking for it again and about 10 pages through so far. Figured somebody might be able to paste it or copy it here might be faster. I'll keep looking in the meantime.

Sorry this grabs my second monitor as well..lol. This was with Bala Town in the Welsh Premier. I used the 20.4.0BEOWULF442WAFKnap(P107)P105ECFA for the entire season. We were picked to finish 9th in the season preview, 200-1 odds. We had a loan player from Barry Town that led the league in goals scored and highest AVR. Not even close to competitive with the top teams in New Saints and Barry Town. After the league split here's how we did...keep in mind we only played the five teams in the top half of the league after the split.

So based on knaps earlier comment about 4231 and 4411 being better options in the current patch/ME I set up 20.4.0451KnapPreachinBluesVOL3P101FA as my underdog/away tactic and 20.4.0BlackEchoKnap4411P108ECCC as my home/favorite tactic. We were picked 1000-1 to finish 18th in the table and face relegation. I did add in 20.3.0TeaForOne4321OXP103 in the last three matches.

As I usually play underdogs or LLM/lower league clubs I've taken to switching from Attacking to Cautious and taking off the Offside Trap with some measure of success. I keep the positions as they are (Support or Attack) but don't have the talent level to recover from over the top goals.

Looks like all going well with Leeds.
Not stopped by your you tube recently, I presume still making them.

Was using the 20.3.0Teafor One451P103 in the first handful of games. After the back to back losses to Norwich/Chelsea I switched over to the 20.4.0451KnapPreachinBluesVol3P101FA through the last game marked. We were first season in the Premier after winning the Championship. Lowest payroll in the League. Secured from relegation in the last match shown.

Just now, Spikester said:
Knap, from this you would say your most recommended tactic so far is Teafor1 4231 105pts?
I just stunned Arsenal 1-0 but then lost to Wolves 2-3 in my first two games with this tactic. Still, with only 2 wins in 16 matches...that's pretty positive for me...lol.

Although still early days, my impression of the update is that442s are less effective but 4231/451 may be more effective. This may be the reason of split opinions about the update.
Good to know. Kudos to you for all your efforts. I do a lot of Instant Finish games to power through seasons and loved the P&P factor in past versions. Struggling this version. Was using two tactics in good conjunction to win the Championship with Leeds but in the cellar first year in the Premier with them. 2 wins in 16 matches. Will bring in a 4231 and a 451 to try out.
