I have an HP Pavillion with an i5 and Nvidia Geforce GCard. Windows 10. Latest drivers as I write this. Also Kaspersky. I've tried the demo and FM 17 and now got 18 assuming it would work. It plays for a bit and then it freezes and dies on me. There is no dump report. Sometimes it crashes the machine and takes me to a blue screen. But that's about it. Checked the logs: Faulting application name: fm.exe, version: 18.3.3.0, time stamp: 0x5ab17f1f Faulting module name: fm.exe, version: 18.3.3.0, time stamp: 0x5ab17f1f Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x0000000004333ad0 Faulting process ID: 0x5160 Faulting application start time: 0x01d4075a196d5aed Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2018\fm.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2018\fm.exe Report ID: 16ef0b58-7519-4a97-906a-429b27c5e165 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

Hi I'm trying to edit my favorite skin from fm 2018 but im new and dont know how to do . i just have 2 problems I need to remove top photo and change colour from second image Someone can help me ?

So basically i applied (in FM19 beta) for the U20 england job in july but i have been waiting for months now and still ahvent got a response. no manager has been appointed. Is this a beta thing or can you not apply for u20 jobs and get the role? can someone help me out pls.

So after a week in Spain I came home and choose to play some FM18, cause why not? So I load up the game and it runs normal. I'm about to offer a risky contract so I save, but the game freezes.. I think alright that happens. I load up the game once more and the game is insanely laggy I could barely enter my save! I think this is probaly cause of outdated drivers - I update drivers and I restart my laptop. I then try and save again before doing the risky transfer - guess what? It freezes I start up the game again and it's lagging like crazy and I basically can't play it. I have a nvdiai 1080 and this was never a problem before - not even with outdated drivers. I have a logo and facepack installed, but I've tried uninstalling them and nothing changes.

Hi, i'm trying learn to use advanced rules. I understand a little bit, i made some leagues with promotions and relegation (with playoff even) using 'stages' but now I need to take two clubs (or more) from differents competitions and create a playoff final and i don't know how to do it. I have a league system with 4 levels, first and second are 'simple' competition; third and fourth are 'parent competition' (with many competitions in). (sorry for the f*cking paint, i made anything quick) Each box is a 'competition' -is the best way for this system (too much to explain)- but I have problems when I try to make a 'promotion playoff' with a club from "Third Division - Zone A" and other from "Third Division - Zone B". The same case with Fourth Division: I need to face in the promotion playoff a club from "Fourth Division - Region 1" and other from "Fourth Division - Region 2". 'Fourth Division - Region 1' rules: The league's winner will be promoted to 'Third Division' and the runner-up will qualify to 'promotion playoff' against the runner-up of 'Fourth Division - Region 2'. This is only a example, this system aims to have 'parent competition' with 10 or 20 competitions in (each one will be a domestic league). What is the way that I should follow to create this promotion playoff? with a stage as the regular PL? with a new competition? How? Ohh, by the way, pardon my french

So I was considering pre-ordering FM19, mainly for the discounts (probably wouldn't play the beta) as I will get it at some point so why not? I've played from FM15 onwards, and FM18 was probably slightly better than FM17 for my underpowered Mac. A lot of heat is produced with all of them. I thought I'd check the technical specs for the game, and then see if my computer will handle it. So here are the technical specs: And here is my computer's technical specs: So already I can see it satisfies the requirements for OS and Storage. Although "RAM" doesn't appear I think it satisfies that requirement too. My main question is, how can I tell if it satisfies the others? I think the processor is ok, but graphics is the one where I really can't tell if it's ok or not.

Yeah, so here's the most common fm question your going to get 'whats the best young talent' But, I pretty much have covered the hole of europe with my scouts, so would like some players from the other continents. I vaguely know some Argentinian players and Brazilians, eg rodrygo, pavon, richard etc, but any help in other regions would be appreciated Cheers

As all fm18 players know, work permits are the bane of everyone's existence, I, understand how they work, but continue to find flaws in the game relating to them, for one: 1) Every time someone fails to get a work permit, a try to send them out on loan, but when explain my decision to the player himself, there is no way to communicate this with them, so instead they build a dislike to me as I loaned them as soon as I got them. 2) Similar to the first, these players refuse to move on loan, after joining, as they dont see a reason to go on loan, as they are 'as skilled' as the rest of my team, so they reject any loan bid. If anyone has any way around this it would be much appreciated, or if fm could fix it so the in game players understand the rule, and instead of not understanding the reason for there loan, it would help alot!

I have a 4K laptop and want to play FM18 on it but for some reason I don't have any options to change the screen resolution. Pushing the game in 4K is making it super laggy and my laptop gets all glitchy. I tried changing it from Geforce Experience but that didn't do anything to it. Also tried window mode but that still ran it in 4K. I put some steam launch options to run it in 1080p but even that didnt work. Not sure what I can do at this point. Also to mention my laptop is running standard at 3:2 aspect ratio if that is an issue I'm not sure.

Hey guys, So I'm a relatively long-time player of FM (since around FM08) but if I'm truly honest, the only save I've had large amounts of success in was one where I used a downloaded tactic. I've recently purchased FM18 and trying to create my own success and tactics this time round, and I'm really suffering the steep learning curve. I've read all the guides and threads I could find about my issues (including an embarrassingly large amount of the www.guidetofootballmanager.com guide) and I still can't nail it. With that in mind, I would appreciate any tactical feedback you can provide me. I've started out with my supported team, Chelsea, and wanted to try and play possession attacking football, mostly because I like the style, because Sarri is known for a style similar to this in real life, and because, well, Abramovich specifically asked for it in my meeting at the start of the season. After some tinkering, this is what I've settled on, followed by the results it has achieved: From these results what seems immediately obvious to me is the tactic seems to be very successful against better teams (I actually tinkered with it a bit for the City game, so ignore that as an outlier). We have beaten Monaco and Barcelona twice each, as well as Arsenal in the league. It's obvious that the tactic struggles (sometimes desperately) against lower (and probably more defensive) teams. I tried to counter any teams that I thought might park the bus with a similar tactic that aimed to open as much of the pitch space as possible (sitting very deep, playing very wide, etc) to attempt to get Hazard, Pedro, William and Morata in more space to play up front: This worked for one game against Watford, and even that wasn't a breezy affair. However against Southampton, as you can see, it was business as usual, and we got fairly hammered. Southampton created 5 clear cut chances, whereas I created zero, and we lost 2-0 having VERY few of the highlights in the game. I've tried to cut down on long shots since we scored absolutely none of them, so I added Work Ball into Box, and when that failed, I had to individually add a player instruction (PI) to every attacker and midfielder telling them to Shoot Less Often. Other than that, I haven't assigned too many PIs to the players. I've told Pedro to mark tighter and tackle harder to try to get him to track back when we lose the ball since Fabregas is in an attacking role and we'd be outnumbered on the right hand side otherwise. As for the frustrating part of this post, I have no idea why we aren't creating chances, or why we're conceding so many against lower teams. I've tried (believe me I've tried) watching the full games, and I just can't seem to put my finger on what's going wrong, other than we're getting fairly smacked all over the pitch (possession, shots, chances, you name it). I would LOVE any feedback from this community to help me diagnose what's going on here and how I can improve my tactics to start winning games regularly and consistently. Thanks for all responses! If you need any more screenshots or samples from me, please do not hesitate to ask.

i have made a ai non-player manager but it doesn't shown in the game. why? Fm18 p.s. i have attached the manager file, His name is SEGA ai journeyman.fmf

Hi,I want to play with a club in the lower leagues of Italy, thats why i'm activating the Serie D, Eccellenza and the Promozione in the editor.From Serie D there are 36 teams that relegate to the "Eccelenza" and from the Eccelenza there are 28 teams that get promoted directly to the Serie D, there is also a promotion playoff from where the 7 winners of that playoff get promoted to the Serie D as well. One more place to Serie D is allowed to the winner of the "Coppa Italia Dilettanti" (Amateur Italian Cup). a year-long competition between all the national teams of both Eccellenza and Promozione. Now the problem is that when I'm activating the Coppa Italia Dilettanti in the Editer I can't find a way to give a promotion spot to the Serie D to the winner of this Coppa Italia Dilettanti.... Do you guys maybe know how I can do this?

So, I just bought Patrice Evra due to his good Personality of Driven and nice mental's. I'm trying to get him to tutor Justin Kluivert, all the requirements should be filled, both play mid left, Evra has a higher reputation than Justin, neither are training on the trait and Evra squad role is rotation while Justin's is hot prospect . The only thing that I think it could be is that they have the same current ability but I've read that doesn't affect it. By the way, currently playing as Ajax on FM 17. Cheers

Okay so firstly, this FM save of mine is simple, its a touch one because I always do a touch save to try and figure out how to play before I maybe try it on the usual FM full. However with this tactic I'm completely lost, like it doesn't make sense to me, and it most probably won't make sense to you guys. Some background information on the save, in my 4th season and I started at city, but I always like starting at big clubs achieving the league there and moving on, therefore I decided to move to Dortmund cause in my opinion Dortmund are a little less big that Manchester City this year in Football Manger. I played a really nice way, I focused on making sure that I got the ball to the final third like Pep Guardiola did at Barcelona, then allow that team to do the attacking themselves and I'd say I did this well, this is what I won in the two seasons at city: https://gyazo.com/bf4caeebfb17545d6b0a8d9e53d5c218 Not ground breaking, although I did nearly go my second season undefeated however the only problem was too many draws and final lose to Everton at home (a crushing way to lose it) and then I decided maybe my time is up here, so decided to move to Dortmund, because I love them as a club, they're a great club and I wanted to be the first since Klopp to over thrown Bayern from the First Division League, unfortunately for me, the best I've managed for this Dortmund side is: German Cup Semi Final vs Hamburg (At home - should be easy win) - but lost on penalties (1-1) German Cup Final vs RBL (0-1) Both times Bayern were knocked out and I should have won both Terrible league finishes, 4th (Champions League spot - not tooo bad, but could be better) and 6th and currently 6th in my third year. Over my time is Germany, I've had some really good wins: https://gyazo.com/2d575f94e3d1525713d1d851e5382ac0 However as you saw, we managed to get wins away to RBL, Schalke and Bayern (The most needed win) but then dropped stupid points to Nurnberg, Braunschweig and Hoffenheim - now I don't expect to win every game (These were all away by the way) but quite frankly if we're beating Bayern away and RBL (The league winners 2nd year in) then quite frankly I expect us to beat these teams if we are going to win the league here in Germany. I find that in FM I can easily build a solid home tactic and that anyone that comes to me, I can beat, as shown from last season here: Home Results: https://gyazo.com/0ebe89fa57768543b6f392eee59c514d Away Results: https://gyazo.com/3b39be3cae212bcfb4e2d93e67af4fd9 Did better than Bayern at home and the only side in the league to stay undefeated (What a fortress right?) going away however is a real big problems and this is something I need help with most definitely in fm, so if anyone has any answers or can direct me to another forum that gives good tips to set up a team for away games that would be helpful, but anywhere lets carry on. No progression has been made and I do this a lot with clubs, I seem to never be able to squad build proficiently and I personally believe its because I don't know my club DNA wherever I go, I never know it. Never know who to sign and what players I need to improve the squad to develop progression. These are all my signings over the past 3 years with Dortmund: 1st season: https://gyazo.com/8f3336df24ff6f309a56bfaa9b1ad327 2nd season: https://gyazo.com/c4197066d82807d1e44b1eab2e99b713 3rd season: Jorginho (Napoli Defensive playmaker) 23M I have money to play with by the way 191Million. Okay so now I've gave you an insight of my career, I'd like to show you the tactics we are trying to utilize our best players with: https://gyazo.com/d095a75ff63336463ac026111e0039ca Now I know what you're thinking what the hell is that, but you need to remember I like to try and control my team from the defensive third to the middle third and then the final third, at that point, it is there choice and there creativity that will indicate the game, now they seem to be doing this at home and very easily although away, its physically impossible. All of the images below are of my game against Napoli in the Champions League (AWAY) - The key struggle area. Defensively this is how we set up: Now I understand, that we should be compact and number 14 could either come back into the space to make a back 5, but I don't have the roles on to do that, however we're defending in a fairly deep 4-4-2, pressing a fair bit and the gaps between 14 and 16 in midfield is far too big as well as the center half number 4 and my fullback defending their number 14. Need help with this. So, how do I set up in the defensive third trying to build up possession? Lets take a look: Here you can see, we're playing a 2 at the back when in possession and two in the middle, my left back cuts inside as inverted wing back on defend and 33 in midfield is there because he is my deep lying playmaker and I want him to stay back, so when we go forward we can have a lot of the possession and then it allows them to do their own thing, however, if we look at this, we're playing a square in the midfield at the back and therefore we should be able to stop counter attacks quite easily but they can still be apart of the build up play. number 16 is in the middle of the park and yarmolenko cuts inside and then the fullback goes out wide as pushes all the way up, the two strikers ready to make good runs and 14 winger out wide. That is the end of my tactics help needed sort of thing, if anyone has any questions let me know, but I really need help with transfers and maybe some tactical faults, probably a lot, I'm still trying my best to learn with fm, so please no hate, criticism allowed but fair comments gents!

Hello, Yesterday I made an update of FM 18, since the update the game keep crashing on launch and I can't play. I already tried all the "solution" and none of them worked. Now it seems that I am not the only one to have this issue, I really hope that you will fixed it really quick... Thank you.

After playing a few seasons, finding young re gens becomes essential to a fm career, recently, I have started to use a technique, I can only describe as 'stock-pilling'. Where I find any promising player and buy them, this can mean I am buying 10 a season, and really makes the game very unrealistic, so my Q is, how do you find the best re gens? 1)I know the technique where you look at youth intake globally, and scout the majority, but surely there is a more effective way? 2)Also, how do you find re gens who will grow into high attributes, rather than the ones that will stagnate, or is this pure luck?

Hello! I would like to know what the club's edition looks like step by step. Namely ... I want to create my club, in the game I click my own club. I create it in a given league (eg, first league). I will replace it with another club. Once I create it and save the game, I want to edit it in the "in editor edit". He searches for places (eg Gniezno - as I set up when creating a club). The team pops up. I change everything in my own way ... budget, staff, etc. ... Saves and exports. When I enter the game and click on a career, I have a saved file in the upper right corner. I mark it and click on it ... When the club selection window is open, the club is not on the list. After loading the game at the beginning, nothing changes. And here is my problem. What do you think? What did I do wrong ? I would ask you to list in the table of contents how it should look or solve the problem in a different way. One more thing ... it's better to make a new club through the game or in the editor? I am also asking you to write in points how to properly create a club, edit it and save it to appear on the list of clubs in your career (or your own club option) l Thank you for your help

hi, so I bought fm18 for my birthday and it's ran smoothly 100% since I've got it, except from penalty shootouts, I go though the 120 mins and then when it goes to penalty shootout I pick my takers and press play but then it freezes and nothing happens. However, I can still use the pitch, analysis and updates sections (not tactics) fine. How do I fix this because I've had to quit and restart three games, thank you for your help

Hey there guys, I picked up FM18 about a month ago and have begun my long descent into madness. Before FM18, I had a few hundred hours in FM13, and have spent the time in between playing the mobile variant exclusively. I was pretty successful in the (admittedly) simpler variant of FM, and decided to give FM18 a go. I started a save with Espanyol, did terribly, read up some online tips, and decided to try a fresh start with Dresden in the 2. Bundesliga. Suffice to say I have not been as englightened as I thought. Countless frustrating hours spent tinkering with my tactics have lead me, in desperation, to seek some help directly here. I normally find that I am able to fix the issues in my clubs after a while but I am completely lost here after issue upon issue. This might get a little long but I want some help and I feel being more in depth might yield better advice. Here is my current tactical set-up: I'd been trying to get a 4-2-3-1 to work at the start of the season, and the more attacking tactics had allowed me to smash the friendly teams 5-1 or 4-0. Come the start of the season, I realised I wouldn't be able to be as carefree and modified my tactics to a more conservative 4-3-2-1. So far, it's been a massive disaster. Outside of the tactics, players have complained about the lack of playing time and our terrible league position. There have been in-fights with some of the squad and myself. 2 lazy asses have been complaining about training being too harsh. I've tried my best to put out these fires as they come up but it's been getting to a point where I can't deal with the multitude of issues. And these all stem from my results in games, and therefore my tactics. I have a clear idea in my head if what I want to achieve. It's changed a few times after disappointing results but I still have an idea of my vision. Kone is the lone pacey poacher waiting to pick up on lobbed through balls or mistakes by opponents. Duljevic is a Bosnian national team starter, and has provided decent results in certain games I needed a stand out player. He is right footed, and comes in to provide targets in the box, or moves into the box with the ball and his 14 dribbling. Kone is there if he can't get a a shot off. Berko is there almost by necessity. Previously, I had Mlapa, another winger/striker there. He had decent dribbling and impressed in the friendlies but he was one of the angsty lads so I put Berko in. He has however, outdone himself and has an average rating of 7.16, despite his average stats. He provides a passing option to the attack and pace on the RW position. My midfield has also been hit-and-miss. My original plan was to have a holding DM, a ball winning CM, and an advanced playmaker to push up and lead the midfield's attack. I scrapped that after a few lacklustre performances and have been planning this new trio. I wanted some advice with the current roles, and if the previous more defensive partnership was better. The defence has been another weak point of the squad. The WBs had originally looked amazing. Kreuzer and Heise have good crossing skills 15/13 for second division full backs. After reading some online advice for other people I found that they were often too attacking and would leave my CBs stranded. I have since put them on a leash with defending roles, it they still provide some support, if not as much. My CBS have been a massive headache, I originally started with a partnership with Franke, a loanee and a natural CDM (Konrad) who had exemplary stats for CB (except for low determination). This has been the most volatile position of the lot. Franke got a red in the first game of the season. Konrad followed suit as a DM in the second game. I played Ballas and Gonther, two other decent options, as CBs until Franke returned. It has since been Franke/Ballas but I've had a few bad performances I save-scummed where Ballas and Franke would pair up to deliver a devastating 6.1 average rating in a match (5.8, 6.4). As far as keepers stand, Shay Given has been decent. I had a loanee who was one of the highest earners in the squad, and a 19 yr old U19 German national team keeper as other options, but I terminated the loanee's loan after signing Given. I'm not sure I can blame Given for some of the horrific games I've had, seeing how bad my defence is. I can provide more info but this is the round-up of my team for now. I have had pretty shocking performances, and sick of it all, save-scummed the Aue match because the board were on my back, and it was 3am in the morning. Union Berlin also had some very good games against me and needed some magical time travelling powers to get me a draw. Instead of alt-f4ing every alternate game, I tried to make some changes and I though id get some advice here. So, how bad is it? Can my season be saved?
