Would you guys pay 55m for this? Well Liverpool just did. Again, the AI is purchasing based on rep and not talent. The guy got signed to Bayern for 67m. Did nothing. Signed for Newcastle for 48m and also did nothing.
Either his agent is a genius, or the AI is dumb as rocks.
2 months in, they've now transfer-listed him because they realize he's useless.

We are aware of an issue regarding goalkeeper recruitment and it is something that is being investigated.
In regards to the England squad I would be interested in taking a look at your save game as work has been done to improve a number of factors around this. Each save plays out differently but the results i'm seeing in internal tests look different to what you have seen.
If you would like to drop a report and save game of your age issue into this forum I will make sure it is looked into - https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/international-management-and-squad-planner/
I've also ran a few tests but its still being funny. It is slightly improved from FM23 but still not perfect.
I have the top 5 leagues loaded and whilst there are a few regens in the England setup, ol' Tammy Abraham at the ripe old age of 32 is still getting called up even though he's an impact sub at Porto. That might have something to do with Mourinho as England manager but its still odd. Man Utd produced a wonderkid striker who got called up, scored on his debut but was then shipped off on loan to the Championship and never got called up again.
Anyways, Newcastle bought Gabriel from Arsenal for 47m. Played him 5 times and then sold him to Benfica for 13m the following season. Also signed Gravenbach on a loan to purchase deal. Has played like 10 times in 3 years for them.
Denzel Dumfries at 34 has just signed for Chelsea this season in 2030. Again worldwide rep. They already have Reece James and Geertruida for that position. Are you seriously telling me they can't play a youngster for that role? This is not intelligent squad building.

AI is still making daft signings. Arteta in 2028 just signed Kepa for 70m and he's played ONE game.
Likewise, international managers are still picking based on rep. The youngest player in the England team is 26.

FM fans: Well, Sports Interactive, I made it, despite your directions.
SI mods: Ah, loyal Football Manager nerds, welcome back. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable video game!
FM fans: Yeah.
SI mods: Oh, egads! My FM24 beta is ruined! But what if I were to purchase FM23 and disguise it as my own new video game beta? Delightfully devilish, SI…
FM fans: SI...!
SI mods: I was just...uh---just posting mindless chit-chat on the internet. Peak banter! Care to join me?
FM fans: Why is there smoke coming out of your servers, SI?
SI mods: Uh... ooh! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the early-access beta on Steam we're uploading. Mmmm, early-access beta on Steam!
....
SI mods: Guys, I hope you're ready for some mouthwatering Advanced Access today!
FM fans: I thought we were having an early-access beta on Steam?
SI mods: Oh no, I said ‘Advanced Access on Steam'. That's what I call an early-access beta on Steam.
FM fans: You call an ‘ early-access beta on Steam', ‘Advanced Access on Steam’?
SI mods: Yes! It's a regional dialect.
FM fans: Uh-huh? What region?
SI mods: Uh...west London.
FM fans: Really? Well I'm from Hammersmith and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'Advanced Access on Steam’ before.
SI mods: Oh, not in Hammersmith, no. It's a Brentford expression.
FM fans: I see.
FM fans: You know, this Advanced Access is quite similar to the Early Access they have at Origin.
SI mods: Hohoho, no! Patented Sports Interactive games. Old family recipe!
FM fans: For Advanced Access?
SI mods: Yes.
FM fans: Yes, and you call it Advanced Access, despite the fact it's obviously an early-access beta...
SI mods: Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... excuse me for one second.
FM fans: Of course.
SI mods: [yawn] Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped.
FM fans: Yes, I should be--good lord, 154 pages! What is happening in here?!
SI mods: FM24 beta speculation?
FM fans: Ah- FM24 beta speculation!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within this forum!?
SI mods: Yes.
FM fans:...May I see the beta?
SI mods: ...No.
Miles: Mods! The servers are on fire!
SI mods: No, Miles, it's just mindless speculation.
FM fans: Well, SI, you are an odd company, but I must say... you Steam a good beta.

It's out tomorrow. All the main YouTubers and content creators have dropped their videos today at exactly the same time. They wouldn't do it unless an embargo was lifted. These are essentially reviews of the game at this stage.
Normally review embargos are put in place 24-48 hours before the game is about to be released.

@shaunvamos The Belarusian league is slightly bugged I think. Because its played over the summer in one calendar year, you won't be entered into the CL until next season. So if you ended the season in December 2035, you won't be entered into the CL until July 2036.
If you look at your game, Dinamo Minsk won the title year before you, so go into the CL for this season. (i.e. the 2035/2036 season.) Its a more a visual bug than anything, so I wouldn't worry about it. I ran the Belarusian league on my game. Minsk and BATE got to the final of the cup, meaning that Zhodino got the Europa League II spot via the league position - however this wasn't shown on the screen. But they did get placed into the competition the following season.

Game crashed. I would go back and redo it, but I'd miss out on a load of decent results I had. (Well actually it was just 4 points but one was a 2-2 draw after being 2-0 down at 80 minutes.) It just seems counter-productive. I'm think I'm just gonna resign from this current job. I was on August 28th, but now I have to restart on July 28th.
There is no money whatsoever at this club and it seems pointless wasting time here when I could find a club that would at least pay the 500 quid to do my coaching badges. I don't think a 13th place finish is really gonna boost my reputation that much. I'm 11th right now and there is no way I can ever hope to finish higher than that with this club.
P45 time!

Kaba - Congrats on your success in Hong Kong. My understanding is that all the top league teams enter the FA Cup, and so it therefore does count as a domestic cup. There is a precedent in South Africa. Some nations have more than 1 cup that counts towards the challenge.
Welcome to the financial hellhole that is Chinese mainland football.
I'm still not counting it.
(That's just my personal preference.)Yeah China is crazy. Shanghai SIPG are in the 2nd division and are currently in admin. Beijing also got relegated last season as well. It seems so easy to lose money in China and wind up in trouble, no matter how big you are as a club. My club were actually due to move into their own stadium in two years time but apparently the board have decided to shelve the plans because I'm 2m in debt.

FM 15 - Donald Duxbury (Fighting 'round the world)
So after spending the next few months finishing up my National B license. I found myself as the new manager of Chinese Super League side, Liaoning, based in the far north of the country right near the North Korean border.
The club is in a bit of a mess. They shouldn't get relegated, but the finances are hideous, the big earners are now moving on and I'll be tasked with clearing out the entire squad over the winter and building up a team of young and hungry (read: cheap and cheerful) players in order to stave off further trouble next season.
The team is currently 13th and 8 points clear with 4 games remaining. So barring an absolute hideous run of form I should stave off relegation for this season. The board asked for midtable, so I'm not quite sure if they are ******** or just genuinely stupid. The main aim is surviving you silly gits. Worry about trying to achieve 10th place with nothing to spend next season.

FM 15 - Donald Duxbury (Fighting 'round the world)
After sitting out of action for almost 6 months and getting rebuffed for nearly every single job I applied for (Jeju laughed at me) I suddenly came across this little gem sitting in my inbox. I furiously had to delay my successful job interview at Mohun Bagan in India and leap at this chance.
South China are a huge club in Hong Kong and it would give me a real good opportunity to establish myself in the game. I would be stupid to turn it down.
The finances are just insane for a club of this size. A 40,000 all-seater stadium, a 250k transfer budget and a remit to win the league by any mean's necessary by signing high-profile players.
Competitions
http://i.imgur.com/iEg326Y.jpg
League: 1st place (completely dominant from start to finish. Nobody challenged me at all. I could have ended the season unbeaten but lost my final game against Kitchee.)
Senior Shield: 1st round (a terrible 1st round loss to Citizen. We scored 3 but conceded 5 in a shambolic performance. Easily my worst of the season.)
FA Cup: Winners!* (A comfortable 2-0 win over Citizen in the final, which saw us clinch the double despite a few key injuries.)
AFC Cup: Quarter finals (ongoing. See below)
*The Senior Shield is essentially the 'cup' of Hong Kong. I don't consider this FA cup-win an actual cup-win for the purposes of this challenge.
Key Players:
Sean Tse - a complete rock at the back. The Irish-Hong Kong defender/midfielder made his debut for the HK national team and led my team from the back.
Evan Kostopoulos - 20 odd goals. He was the main reason why I'm celebrating my maiden title right now.
Godfred - signed to keep up my Hong Kong player quota. He led the line along with Kostopoulos and helped me romp to the title.
Rocky Visconte - a canny little Aussie winger signed on a free transfer. Instantly slotted into the side on the left-wing and never let me down.
Why am I leaving?
Well firstly the Hong Kong league is broken. Unfortunately the Asian Qualification doesn't work correctly meaning that every year the game generates two teams from the lower division (non Premier League) when it should be between the Senior Shield, FA Cup winners, and 2nd and 3rd placed teams. Because of this, my team was actually parachuted into this competition this season despite not being qualified to do so from last season. Its a massive bug and unfortunately means I can't continue.
In addition to this, I think the board are imposing some quite stupid demands on me. (Like winning the AFC Cup.) The talent just isn't there in Hong Kong and you can't establish anything with the talent on offer unless you are willing to spend a good 10 to 15 years here. You used to be able to play China PR players and they would obtain Hong Kong nationality after two years and this would help plug the immediate gap - but this isn't the case anymore. Therefore I don't see myself being able to challenge and push myself further by managing here. The Hong Kong league will get deactivated and will be replaced with the Indonesia league from next season.
My last ever game in charge of South China would be a 4-2 home win in the 2nd round of the AFC Cup to Burmese side Kanbawza. Despite winning and scoring 4, it was a shocking performance. I laid into my team at the full-time whistle and they all kicked up a fuss. Whatever. I ain't here anymore, so bitch to my replacement instead.
It does suck to leave these guys but I can't manage in a broken league. I will take my National C qualification and Cantonese phrasebook and look back with fondness of my time at South China.

FM 15 - Donald Duxbury (Fighting 'round the world)
Introducing Donald Duxbury - a young loudmouth college dropout from New York. Son of the famous Duxbury family and borrowing several plot lines form the Talented Mr Ripley his rich shipping daddy, fearing societal shame after his son's expulsion from an elite ivy league university has decided to send him off overseas to become a football (or soccer?) manager. Can the Talented Mr Duxbury live up to the family name? Or is he doomed to spend the rest of his years bumbling around the depth of Mongolia searching for a win?
After deciding to "find himself" in Asia, I applied to numerous jobs in China and Korea and was laughed out of every place from Jeonbukakguku to Zhongjiahuakong. I actually scored interviews with Beijing and Shanghai SIPG - so clearly there were some big clubs interested in my talents and my famous pappie's name. Ultimately only one club would take a punt on me, and that was the rather curiously titled Newcastle United Jets in the Australia A-League.
Well where to begin? Firstly I was rather interested in managing in Australia but soon the harsh reality of that would creep up on me. The Jets are probably the worst team in the league. They also had an extremely young squad which necessitated me bringing in so much needed quality and experience. First off my marquee signing in John Daly from Rangers on a free transfer and then the enormously talented, but perhaps luxury playmaker in Iraqi Nashat Akram for the paltry sum of 15k.
Results were largely poor, and the economic situation of managing Newcastle, as well as the extremely low ambition of just "upholding the club's honour" didn't exactly chime with my own motivation. In short, it was the wrong club, the wrong man and perhaps the wrong league. The only respite and motivating factor for me was the Australian Cup - in which I went to the semi-finals. I would face Brisbane Roar and knew that a win would see me play against NPL side Marconi Stallions in the final. This gave me a great chance to score some silverware straight away. Alas it was not to be, and a dour 0-0 and equally dour penalty shootout loss in which I missed 3 kicks saw me falter.
With this in mind and my ever-increasing boredom and inability to settle in Australia - I decided to call it quits and tender my resignation. I think I might well have been pushed before I walked as I was slowly losing the dressing room and just couldn't get on terms with my squad. After losing 1-0 to a last penalty against rivals Central Coast Mariners - I was so enraged that the player's never really looked at me the same way again. So, its 7 games and out and a cup-semi and I'm heading for P45 already.
Funnily enough my stewardship in signings and sorting the staff out, helped my predecessor lead the Jets to 1st place after I left. I'm claiming the victory there. (Okay maybe not.)
