From time to time I like to have a read through of some old threads, but recently I've noticed that a number of them no longer have any posts or content and instead have the above message only. To give a few examples: https://community.sigames.com/topic/126568-fm10-freedom-for-tooting-amp-mitcham/ https://community.sigames.com/topic/188406-fm11-dafuge-on-tour/ https://community.sigames.com/topic/188560-fm11-messi-nah/ https://community.sigames.com/topic/192428-fm11-way-of-the-dragon/ I assume it's to do with their age and the multiple changes the forum has gone through since then, though I have seen other threads from the same era which appear to be intact, such as these: https://community.sigames.com/topic/190352-fm11-crazy-canuck-on-global-managerial-tour-this-is-the-big-one/ https://community.sigames.com/topic/187908-rancer890s-fm11-small-club-to-big-club-asian-challenge/ Sadly web caches of the affected threads are mostly incomplete, and it would be a shame to think some of these legendary threads could be lost to the ether. Is there any way these could be recovered?

I do believe a similar situation happened with the MLS a few years ago when they had an expansion side due to come in after a season, and they implemented it in FM with the side joining the MLS in the same year they did IRL. So yes, I'd expect Macarthur South-West Sydney will be included in the game, they should join the A-League in the 2020/21 season the same way they will IRL if it's implemented correctly.

Your wonderkid GK chose Germany, he's a traitor to the motherland! Really impressive stuff, still an amazing read! Even with some first-teamers on the way out I think your squad will improve year on year with the quality of youth you're producing now. The young ones you have coming through will have a higher ceiling than some of the older players you're easing out, for sure. Hopefully that'll lead to consistent appearances in Europe! Hopefully you get one or two affiliate players through soon too for some variety

I'd be looking at a new DoF after that January window. Cisneros looks alright but the other two are pretty average for that much money, though I suppose you could argue that signing Bloudek weakens a rival at least. Looking really dominant now in the league, hopefully a CL QF is on the horizon!

Since we're doing national team requests... wouldn't mind seeing how Australia's national team is going - squad, best players and records (like for your Israel post above) would be great! Amazing save so far, as always enjoying reading along quietly!

Your poor goalkeeper must be missing his clean sheet bonus Talk about exciting football though!

Ooh, Stormlight Archive talk - just finished rereading WoK and WoR myself, got Oathbringer when it came out but wanted to refresh myself on the first two books! Just rereading Edgedancer now and then it's on to the main event... @ManUtd1 - been slowly reading through this thread as well, excellent read! I've still got a long way to go, though!

Nice! Thanks heaps. Will be keeping up with this thread (though I mostly lurk)!

Been reading through this - what a thread! Grats on your success. If you have time, could I see a screenshot of Reynolds with the little attribute polygon included? I really like comparing the polygons . He looks immense! Keep it up!

Any former youth products made a notable move? Great read!

I guess Sheffield United were up for it - that draw kept them up! Congrats on CL football again

Cheers for the update on the Austrian bloke, just thought it was unusual for a player in the Austrian league to be the Ballon d'Or runner-up! He looks a good player and had a decent season at least. Great progress in recent seasons, unlucky to miss out this time but surely a matter of time now for CL football. Your team is taking shape nicely, hopefully you get a new centre-back or two through your youth team soon, and perhaps a new keeper (though I like the look of Joseph - attributes-wise he already looks better than Kelledy ever did, even if he's not performing at the same standard yet. Since he's a GK perhaps he'll improve with age). Friar looks awesome!

Fantastic to have produced a Ballon d'Or winner! Hopefully Friar can reach similar heights in the future And second place was an Austrian playing in Austria - what does he look like? Are Austria a major force in Europe now?

Ah - didn't realise that. Should pay more attention . Cheers In his update he said Manchester United won the League Cup, so if runners-up don't matter then their spot at least will have filtered down to 7th, since they won the league.

Who did Chelsea and Manchester United play in their respective cup finals? Since both of the cup winners finished in CL spots, if either of the runners-up finished in European spots through the league as well, the cup spots filter down to 7th and 8th. Congrats on a successful season - a shame that no obvious stars have come through the youth intake in a couple of years, although perhaps the improving quality of your team is causing lower star ratings in your youth setup, since they are being compared with better quality players. KUTGW!
