  1. Apologies if this has been raised already - couldn't see a thread on it.

    I have several players loaned to me on my Schalke save. They are all playing, mostly if not every match in their agreed position yet I get several inbox messages a week from their managers moaning I am not keeping to the agreement. This coding interaction seems to have tweaked a bit too far. They're all playing, getting regular minutes and occasionally having to fulfil a slightly different role. The complaining seems unjustified, excessive and definitely not realistic.

  2. Apologies if this has been posted previously. I have just started devising my own training schedules for my Man Utd save rather than relying on default options from my Asst Mgr. I wondered what others thought was the best way to approach the domestic fixture break from a training point of view. Obvs many first teamers will be away on International duty but there'll be enough squad to play a friendly or two. But what about the balance between rest and normal training? Have people approached it as a kind of pre-season in mid-season? Conscious there'll be a fixture crush afterwards so goal is to keep players match fit without knackering them. Thoughts?  

  3. managed to win the SPL in season 3 by 1 point. Have spent my CL windfall on lots of regen potential wonderkids. Risky I know but trying to lay foundations for career save as well as get some more quality HGC/HGN players.  Oh and Harry Wilson in his 3rd season on loan to us from Liverpool is beasting it out wide on both flanks 

  4. Brexit is becoming an issue in the game too now - way the dice landed I've had a hard brexit. Strict WP rules means I can only sign established internationals and mediocre home-grown Scottish players command a ridiculous premium. I know it's the same for all SPL clubs but my plans for European dominance are definitely hindered. Just out of interest - has anyone NOT had a hard brexit in FM 17/18 or 19!!??

    In the second season in my game, Celtic drew just once and won every other game. 

    In the third season, by December, I (with Hearts) am 9pts clear of them, with them having a game in hand. They've lost all their good players. Rangers are more competitive this season.

    Good to know - they have sold a few of their best players now (Edouarde, Ntcham, Tierney) but with tons of CL cash every year the replacements are decent and squad is deep. I've managed to overhaul most of our deadwood with a net transfer gain although wage budget is creaking. Playing 4-2-3-1 gegenpress with line up season 3 of:

    Bialkowski

    Tavernier

    McCrorie/Katic

    Barisic (despite his continual moaning)

    Jack

    Arfield

    Patrick Roberts (signed on a free)

    Ravel Morrison

    MIddleton

    So I am in my second season as Rangers and I just have to say Celtic are relentless and ridiculous! I got 92 points last season and was way short of winning the league and this season I have won 31 out of 35 games and feels like I have been on loads of long winning streaks, I'm on 95 points with 3 games to go and still 3 points behind with a way worse goal difference!

    seems like I will need a 100 point season to be in with a chance of winning the league, mental! Has anyone else had this as Rangers manager? Dosent help when they spend 70m each season and we have peanuts. Barisic is a beast at left back 17 goals this season from there!

    I'm totally with you on this. The Tic had a 33-5-0 record season 1 and I was well off the pace but managed to win both cups and get to the knockout stages of Europa League so really decent first season with, as you say, no money and a shed load of long term injuries. Season 2 and I win 33 games, draw 4 and lose 1 (against the Filth) but it's still not enough because Celtic go W34 D1 L3 (all 3 defeats v us!!) and I lose the title on goal difference!  In what other league in the world could you have that sort of record and still finish 2nd? What really hacks me off is the rest of the league are so sh1te they cannot ever take any points off them. Wondering if this is just an impossible challenge......
