I enjoy the odd things that happen in FM. As the CPU tends to be fairly realistic, United's plight is an interesting one. Rashford is still there, think I will unsettle him in the coming weeks. Did the same to Saka when Arsenal were around the bottom three and ended up getting him for 40m plus...
There is a De Zerbi tactic from RDF if anyone wants to try and replicate our style. It might work from the off but it definitely didn't work with my side four seasons in!

Nice one! You're definitely doing things more sensibly than I am :lolol: My Albion finished 11th last season, albeit only four points off Europa qualification.
Rico Henry was one of my main targets but he went to Fiorentina for £16m. I've sold Pascal to Dortmund for £10m with a heavy heart and...
Unal is a good buy, I should've looked at him as I'm, predictably, struggling for goals. Andreas Schjelderup from Nordsjaelland is the best signing I've made so far, an absolute bargain for £6m. Bought him in for the future but he is outperforming Trossard atm.
I was top four until the World...
In a parallel universe, Potter was sacked last week following a 3-0 thumping at West Ham, leaving Chelsea in 17th place after 11 league games in charge.
Bet you can't guess who one of his two league wins as manager was against :moo:
Played a few hours of the beta now doing my traditional Albion starter save. Gameplay is good, if not a lot different- only odd thing I've noticed is lots of goals happening within seconds of each other... Not sure if it's a bug or just an odd occurrence. Starting with a 70m budget makes it a...
I couldn't get the 3 back to work properly, so colour me impressed Swansman. Did you sign Ben White back or are you on FM21?
I'm using a 4-1-2-3 with two complete wing-backs on attack (still Lamptey and Cucu), a half back, two mezzalas and two inside forwards, seems to be doing the trick...
Must-sign players from my save so far:
Nathan Collins, Burnley. HGP and a machine at CB. £20m relegation release clause, or it was in my save at least. Scores goals for fun from corners as well with a near post tactic.
Benjamin Sesko, RB Salzburg. Guy is a cheap Haaland. Will be World Class...
Only read about the fining a days' wages thing recently, it's brilliant! I don't think I've ever dished out a fine for a poor performance unless it was like a 6.0 or below before but I'm dishing them out left, right and centre now and the team is loving it.
I'm in my third season now, finished 8th then 7th, won the FA Cup first season and lost in the Europa League final in the second, so it's Conference League for us this season. I do think I've finally cracked it though and we'll be top 4 this season, I splashed £75m on Calvert-Lewin in the summer...
Bundesliga/BuLi2 are great fun, I had a brilliant save with Paderborn on FM21, took Uwe on as my assistant when he retired and won everything together. Happy memories.
I've found the data hub to be easy to use. The data is easy to read and it's all laid out nicely. Reports on next opposition are very useful, as well as the ones on your own team. You can analyse the last 5 matches, see the weak points and the analysts will recommend areas where you can improve...
Fair point, he was influential in the dressing room as well which probably had a detrimental effect.
We are 11 games unbeaten since he left actually after being very patchy before that, maybe I need to rethink bringing him back. I've already replaced him with Mady Camara from Olympiacos who is...
Anyone else playing the beta? Full version out next week I believe.
I'm enjoying it so far, it's subtly different and it's not hugely buggy for a beta (from what I've experienced at least). A lot of people will complain that the game feels the same but there are definitely improvements and I...
