Playing as Derby County in my first season and top of the league, have been for 95% of the season, but with about 10 games to go I'm struggling to get a string of wins together with 5 points out of my last 15 available. After getting dominated by automatic promotion hunting Blackburn I drew 1-1 at home to Bolton, bottom of the league with 5 prior losses, I save the game to see if a team meeting will up morale a bit as its not good at the moment. I criticise them slightly by saying we need to get over this blip to ensure promotion, but every single player reacts negatively and I get told not to criticise them when they're playing well. So I go back and load up just before the meeting. I change and say we need a few more points to ensure promotion (not criticising them, just urging them on a bit) but they all react negatively and get told that that isn't what they need when they aren't playing well. So I load it up again and say the classic "things haven't been going our way but......." and again, all negative reactions. If I'm getting negative reactions whatever I say then what is the point? I do understand that you have to pick and choose when to do team meetings but is this not the perfect time to do one? When morale is low and the season is drawing to a close and the players need a little bit of encouragement to do better and not let the other teams catch us? If I'm wrong in all this then I'm sorry, but in previous games in this situation, its worked a charm.

1, when team morale becomes low, you can organise a team meeting but never a team event. Why not allow the option to hold a team party at Xmas, or not if funds are tight at the club or the players are playing badly. Maybe a day at the races to build team spirit? The things we see clubs in real life doing. Also more community projects, I.e send players to local schools to drum up support and improve reputation? 2. The wage as a manager is a pretty redundant point, except to amass career earnings. Could this be used to purchase club shares etc? Or maybe have a section where the money could be used to purchase in game items or help out a club in financial crisis? 3. The media can sometimes be a bit samey. They don't quite cause the controversy of the real life papers. Maybe a rumours section or exclusive on players seen on a night out or player X has been caught speeding and the manager may need to remind them of their conduct in the public eye?

Hello, just started a new game. Only 2 players are First Team, all others are backup or rotation, is it possible to change it? In the PC you do that by right click and transfer status but on mobile? I am looking for that to try to increase morale of the players, they are always "poor" or "very poor', even after a streak of 4W, maybe is related to the status. Attached the GK, played all matches first team, is always poor. Help / Suggestions very welcome Thanks -
Hi, how do you change the default morale icons in fm18? The fm17 methods don't seem to work anymore. Thanks

When I express my interest for a player in the media and get my bids rejected or when one of my own players goes mental for not getting the chance in the first team their morale drops. But that's about it exhept for them refusing contract talks, but that also seems to be forgotten after a month or too. What I would like too see is the option for players to really start taking actions when their morale is very poor or abysmal. Examples of these actions could be the player refusing to play or train, the player making a BIG fuss on social media like Berahinho for example, talking to other clubs while no transfer fee has been agreed, fighting in training, etc, etc. What do you guys think of this idea? What other actions could an unhappy player take? Aso, please exhuse my English, I'm swedish.

I have started a game as manager of Korean Challenge side Busan Ipark. I won the title in my first season, reached the Final of the FA cup (beating the might Jeonbuk Motors along the way) and my morale in the squad is rock bottom. I have praised various players in public and private, sold several fringe players as i had a lot of players in the same position, changed the training regime of the majority of the squad and yet they still hate me. Can anyone suggest what I could possibly do lift morale.... ....Come to think of it I did sign a North Korean international for a laugh as I didnt expect there to be one in the game, maybe he is a trouble maker, even though he is very good!

Currently the manager of Manchester United and in the January transfer window I offered Phil Jones to other clubs as he was not needed. He got angry and talked to me about it, I told him he was not needed and he got even angrier and now the team is sticking up to him. I got told by the assistant manager to discuss it with the team but when I try interact with Phil Jones there is no option to do so and when on Dynamics and clicking "team talk there is nothing that brings up the Phil Jones situation only stuff about the season. How can I resolve this issue? -
I have a question on Morale - it relates to FM15, which I am still playing, but I assuming it remains true for FM17. I understand that morale is determined somewhat by the season expectations, so that a team hovering just above the relegation level would have reasonable morale if they were expected to go down but atrocious if they were expected to challenge for promotion, though correct me if I am wrong on this. My question is how the team's expectations are set, given the interrelation between the team meeting at the end of the previous year, that at the beginning of this season, the board's expectations and the media's season expectations. On a related note, how much does 'struggling to blend with the team' affect a player's on-field performance?

My entire squad has great morale (no yellow) going into the 2nd leg of the Champions League Quarterfinal vs Barcelona with a 5-1 lead. We hold out to win 5-2 on aggregate which is a GREAT result. Because we "lost" 0-1, half of my team drops into "yellow" or "okay" morale. Since that game, my team goes 0-1-5 in the next 6 matches. Morale is OP, and obviously, 2nd leg effect on morale is broken.

I had a nicely written post with everything explained from my point of view, but then while trying to get a screenshot for the post too much time passed and the post was erased My team is unhappy because they dont feel like i brought in enough new players. I didnt know i could address the situation via Concerns/Unhappiness in the squad section. Now if i try to address the issue my only option is exit. How do i fix the problem?
