That's excellent, but this is a bit better (slightly stronger CPU) and as a bonus is a bit cheaper: https://www.box.co.uk/ASUS-TUF-Gaming-A15-FA506IU-HN255T_2940904.html

Thanks, I hadn't seen that one! A final curveball is I've just designed one to this spec at PC Specialist... Would be £925. An even better CPU, more storage, double the RAM. I think the GFX are slightly worse but might not be a major issue... what do you think?

Hey all, 

Looking to get a new laptop as my PC Specialist is about 6 years old now and at 17.3 inches I also want something a bit more portable. The spec of that is: 

Intel i7 4710MQ - 2.5ghz 4 core 8 logical 

12 GB RAM

100GB SSD / 1TB Storage

Geforce FTX 860M

I've been looking around all morning and this seems like quite a good deal for the price? https://www.box.co.uk/NH.Q7PEK.002-Acer-Nitro-5-AN515-55-764B_2934864.html 

I want to be able to comfortably play FM with quite a lot of leagues and full 3D and then possibly use the laptop to play a few more games but nothing demanding. Would love to get anyone's thoughts on the above, and suggestions to alternatives if you think it's not so good... 

Cheers

Josh

Cheers, @MIR17, appreciate it. It's never perfect (as mentioned above, there is an upgrade to Fofana coming along with some U23s squad numbers and a change to the Seagrave move-in date), but I'm happy with things in general this year.

Can't disagree with any of that, I'll pass them onto Pete and we should get them updated for full release - I will just say that I'm not 100% sure Barnes and Choudhury are City fans (could be plastic Arsenal, Liverpool etc.!), but I will add them at a slightly lower preference level.

Please do pass on anything else you spot or would like to discuss 

Leicester fan here - agree that Fofana needs a lift. Other weird thing I noticed, Wes Morgan is being lined up for an exec role IRL as per numerous reports. In the game he wants to take up a director role which makes sense. However when I suggested this to him in the game he said he would rather be a coach, which doesn't correlate. 

[Captaincy issue]

Very strange - I talked to the captain, said I was removing him from being captain as had better options. Made the vice-captain captain, but now as the new captain, he is unhappy about being stripped from his captaincy (assumedly the vice-captain role)
