Hello @Speedyol - Not sure where you live, but Weekly wages is a British thing (in addition to some other Commonwealth nations). It's there as an option to please British players who grew up used to that custom. The rest of the galaxy works with Monthly wages (and, pardon, Americans prefer Yearly wages in contract negotiation).
Much of the FM game financial system operates on a Annual basis. Financially or mathematically, it affects nothing. The monthly wages feels a bit more in line with FM's financial system, but it's mostly a personal option. Up to you. (For example, I use the currency of the country I'm coaching in).

Right-click on the player's name:
Squad -> Agreed Playing Time -> [Select the level of importance]

Do mind games against other head coaches via media interviews work?... I was wondering, if the opposing team is much superior than mine, if I throw the coach off with some statement, whether I can gain a significant advantage?
Can you please give some specific suggestions on what to say or respond? Thanks.

Please fix this Dugout suggestion to replace a player because he's a yellow card away from suspension, for 3 reasons:
1) It's broken: the "ignore" and "always ignore" options are broken. It keeps reappearing during the same match and future matches again.
2) It's illogical: this suggestion comes up in final games or in games I'm about to be eliminated from a competition (if I'm eliminated, I won't need to save the player for the next match). Moreover, it makes no difference if my player gets the yellow now or in the next match.
3) It's annoying that this suggestion appears multiple times during a match!
Net, net: fix the "always ignore" button, or just get rid of this ass coach suggestion. Thanks.

When a players asks for more playing time, what does it mean exactly? More match minutes or starting more games? Also, does it count if I send him in toward the end of the match?... Any links to explanations are appreciated. Thank you.

Agreed. I wonder if there is a column we can add that clearly indicates the national registration condition.
There is a "Player Status Information" column that indicates that, but the tiny badge is so often scrambled with other badges, you have to be careful.

I always keep veterans if they have great fitness (Pace of 15 in veterans is common these days...).
I answered the survey, and think the game could improve pro/con analysis, and have higher complaint rates (and penalties) by fans and sponsors.

I usually do disable transfers in first season. However, if I'm starting a save in a very low division, I enable transfers. Given that these are obscure clubs with unknown players, I don't think it "feels" unrealistic, and I can make a more immediate impact.

Don't worry. That happens often. I'd focus on staying within the payroll budget (a big criteria used by the Board), and it seems you are doing well here. You may want to sell some players (with high salary but redundant positions).
More importantly, think in the mid and long terms: if you win the league, you'll be promoted, so there will be an influx of cash/revenues soon. As long as you deliver in the field, the Board will consider that positively, and inject more cash.
Keep us updated on finances after the season. Good luck!

Every so often you get the itch to cheat. It’s your game all by your lonesome, won’t matter. Until you do it. Then everything you’ve done legitimately feels wrong. If I can survive the save, I at least step down from my post and holiday for 18 months and start anew as punishment or some form of moral cleansing.
I agree that cheating is not ideal, but the game often fails on its premise of realism (no software is perfect). When FM generates some really crazy performances, I'd be open to consider cheating as fair remedy for the lack of realism.

Thanks, but that requires my changing from Card to List mode, so it's not the best solution. It would be even easier to just add the extra button on the player card...

Though I play on an Alienware laptop (i7, Nvidia GTX 1070), my FM21 match engine still shakes and lags frequently. Believe it or not, if I open my Chrome and leave it running in the background, it sometimes fixes my problem. Bizarre... Would someone know why?

Had a similar thing a few weeks ago. I forget where, but somewhere in here there is a setting that fixed it.
Somewhere in these links:
In instructions for deleting cache folder, in FM21 I found a folder named "Caches" (with an s, which I found to be a strange detail). Should I delete "Caches" folder?...

If you are a heavy FM player, then yes, you should purchase FM21 at a discount (there is a 40% off as I'm writing this post). If you are an occasional player, then maybe stick with FM20. But since money is not a problem, I'd go for the FM21 at a 40% discount. It's all about how many months are you willing to wait until the next release in November. Have fun!

This is actually good to see! However it’s an exception to the rule it would seem.

For several years, I've been asking SI team to add animations of invading dogs, vultures and the crazy dude on the pitch, to name a few possibilities, to no avail... Maybe some day...

Not sure the media buys the idea that a coach "leaves gracefully". The press will always speculate and put a spin for salacious effect. Therefore, all resignations are equal.

Back in the early 1990s, there was a prequel to FM (called "Championship Manager" if I'm not mistaken), where you could decide the price of food, drinks and tickets; and transfer bonus options included a sports car and a villa overseas.
I'd love to decide the price of the hamburger again... That sounds like something that Jose Mourinho or Guardiola would be obsessing about...
PS Errata: the actual name of the game probably was "Premier Manager", thanks to @XaW for the note.

Best packs are available at Sortitout.net, such as the TCM Logos megapack and Cutout faces megapack. I get mine there nearly every year.

I just lost one of my best players to Inter Milan. I didn't sell him, he just didn't want to stay at Roma and signed as a free transfer. Villar is 29 year old, DM, 4 stars, pretty good stats, av rating ranging from 6.8 to 7.2 over the years - but valued at 2.5 million euro only. (Most of my 4-star players are valued between 20 and 55 million euro!).
Any explanations on why he was valued so low in the market?...

This thread is old, but I'm curious that you decided (and why)...
I come across similar situations sometimes. If I made an honest mistake (such as, I didn't notice an automatic change to my starting squad or the bench, and I'm sleepy late at night, then I restart the match). Honestly, if the AI goes totally crazy and does things that have no connection with reality, I may restart the game.

I'd pick Chelsea. It would probably mean that I can loan their players for free.

The Big Clubs and Micromanagement

The larger the club, the more you need to delegate. Delegate as much as possible: junior squads contracting, staff contracting, etc. A rich club can absorb the stupid decisions your AI staff will make, a small club will suffer more.
As said, delegate what you don't like and has minimal impact on your club's finances and performance. Manage all the rest you like or is important.
