My save has been destroyed by the owner trying to sell the club. Director tried to buy it in December and it fell through. Now a fans consortium is trying to buy it. Takeover rumours start at the beginning of May. Club placed under a transfer embargo. It is now the end of July and the first...

I got this guy at the end of season 1 through my own youth set up. Usually they are all junk and I just terminate them all but this guy goes straight into the fray in Conference North and became the youngest ever player to play / score at 16 years and 1 day. Be interesting to see how much...

I find it really difficult to play now. It is just insane the amount of penalties I concede. I always play a hard press as I find if you don't press the opposition just sink goals from outside the box over and over. I just use the standard tackling setting however so I'm not getting them to jump...

Decided to restart and since I've played as a couple of Conference North sides (Chester & York) thought I would give a Conference South side a shot. I chose Welling and they sucked really bad. They were expected to finish mid table on a wage budget of 3.6k and the club was losing money based on...

All my players are sooking for new contracts, like the entire ******* team. I physically can't offer them the contracts they want. In a really ugly spot.

No choking in the playoffs this year. This is probably where it gets tough for me though with the stadium v. wage budget in the Championship. Wolves have already picked off one of my regen forwards for their $4 million release clause. I still have the guy I posted earlier but he hasn't...

Is there a bug since the update. Playing 4th round FA cup against Newcastle and the ref has given 3 penalties against me in the first 30 minutes and all 3 were overturned by VAR. Getting stomped on anyway but ref must be on Newcastle over 3.5 goals or something.....

I play PC. I feel would be tough to play with a controller with all the different menus.

What did you do with Happe? Good player, he is the DC in my York save and I think will be Championship standard easy enough.

I think he was like $300k with 30% profit on sale or something like that.

Not quite as good as the newgens above but should do ok at League One level. Popped my premiership cherry beating Wolves on penalties in the second round of the league cup.

Go ahead. I have had successive promotions from Conference North so a consolidation year is not the worst thing anyway. It will leave me in better shape for the Championship when I get there.

My back 4 is just boss. It's a struggle to attract top shelf attacking talent now I have hit league one. I ended up raiding the conference for newgens for this upcoming season so see how it goes.

Broke a record for the most number of points to make the playoffs. It's not one you want to have really. I went through the other 3 seasons and I would have won the league every year. Not even close to the auto promotion slots and then choked the playoff semi against Bristol....

Good old fashioned bollocking All the way down to league two but Bolton still play like they are managed by Allardyce with the 7 yellows and conceeding a penalty. That's how my next opponent lined up, would it be a surprise if I said it ended 0-0. The AI can make it tough for you...

Always found the Championship the hardest to get out of. I got Worcester City to Europe on one of the earlier FMs and I reckon it took 3-4 years to get out of the Championship.

I got Chester to League One and I thought I had a decent squad but was getting smashed so decided to restart at the bottom with a club with a bigger stadium and more growth potential so took on York. York are a professional club and it seems a fair bit easier than Chester tbh who start as semi...

The other thing I despise is the Papa John's Trophy. Why do they need another cup competition. I won and drew the first two group games and then the last group game was against Man City U23s who flogged me 5-0. In a relegation battle I don't need the morale of my team taking a battering. The...

How much does the brexit work permit thing suck. I can't sign a decent keeper for the life of me, even the old transfer listed ones won't have a bar of me. Finally I land some Finnish guy that was released by an english club on a free who would be borderline championship level and the work...

Absolutely torched the Leyton Orient save. I released everyone I could basically thinking I could sign a better team on frees and of course no one would sign for me. Had to offer overs just to get a squad and even though I was still under the wage budget I was bleeding too much money a month for...

Topsy turvy season but ended up getting promoted via the playoffs with Leyton Orient. Loaned in a striker from QPR called Mampala and he was a boss at league two level. Knocked in 21 goals including a brace in the 1st leg of the first playoff round. Leyton Orient have a young centre back and...

I've got like 4 players that the fitness staff say are regularly jaded in League Two but they sook it up if I try to rest them so what do you do. At least with 5 subs you can rotate them a bit when they hit red in game so they don't get injured.

Do people find they have to constantly change their tactic? It seems after about a dozen or so games I get figured out and end up with like 38% possession every game until I change it again.

I haven't had a computer good enough to play FM for ages but thanks to COVID and working at home I bought a desktop. Kicking around as Lleyton Orient in league two and my scouts recommended me a 38 year old Scottish midfielder. His name, Mark Kerr. Was an absolute beast of a young player...

Well they came at me and I just held out, turned the tables to go on the offensive after wiping out all their land units and they have planes. There is that save done. I'm miles away from that.

Anyone play much on deity? What's the play? Seems like spitting out a heap of slingers when they are cheap production wise, upgrade to archers, focus on gold and then upgrade again to crossbowman as quickly as possible and going on a romp is the only way? I lucked out and stole two settlers...

Only 1/2 of the other 5 civs come up on the menu though. Even though I have met them and sent them envoys etc. That's why I think there has got to be something that I'm missing to trigger them being added to the menu.

Haven't played since Civ 2 on PC or the original Civ Revolution on the iPad before it got destroyed by the in game purchase scourge but picked it up for the xbox. How many civs do people play against? Think the default is 6 which seems too many to me if playing on a smaller map. How do you get...

G1 jockey on PS2 was great. I think there was a follow up which was pretty similar, maybe just G1 jockey II or something where they tried to add track work etc but it was pretty pointless and you were better off just racing.
