posted an OOTP screenshot that only /trb/ could relate to without realizing it had my name on it. greentext story short, drop a multiple Cy Young winning pitcher at 38 after he spent 2 1/2 years of the past 3 seasons on the DL. He demands $10+ mil, I drop him, he signs with the Yankees and cucks me twice in the World Series on his way to a Cy Young at 39.

Why do people say modern defenders aren't like those from the early 90s when goals scored per game has been pretty constant since at least the mid 70s?

Defenders aren't able to tackle like the 90s anymore, but surely they have become better through the years otherwise we would have seen an increase in goals scored per match, but we haven't.

Everything was better in the 80s and 90s mate.

Fortunately we won the game, but I was pretty annoyed at the time, I didn't know that FM pulled shit like that.

whats the most broken match you've ever played? for me its pic related, and i dont know how the fuck it happened.

what annoyed me most were the post-match social media reactions. my striker got a perfect 10, scored 5 times and an assist, and you still had some idiot going OH COME ON GUYS HE DIDN'T PLAY THAT WELL, STOP OVERREACTING

fuck you. i hope they either scrap social media or completely overhaul it so it doesn't follow the same 2-good-1-bad formula.

You'll have to babysit them. Some money but not too much as they do very retarded things with it (or don't do anything at all), but mostly offer them good players consistently for free or on loan. Like the Juventus Gambit (link below) but without making as much money.

I already do this though. I sign any player under 20 for less than 500k that has potential (I have 48 first team players in my squad right now, of which 20 are out on loan). If I could get a feeder club in my own division, then I could loan them good players for free so they would improve. Unfortunately I can't seem to get an affilate club in my own league going, and they don't offer for my players when I offer them on loan :(
>>
>>77726260
>to get an affilate club in my own league going
It's fucking forbidden, that's why. If you feel like it, you could however manage two teams at once. Or and bounce from team to team in your league, resigning when you're done building them.
>>
>>77726260
Try offering for loan for free. In your Staff Responsibilities, put the required monthly wages and loan fee at zero. On the loan offer window, exclude foreign clubs.

>>77726447
Doesn't mean foreign clubs won't be interested, but at least you'll see if your league clubs are interested for completely free. If not, it probably means that the reputation of the player/club is such that the player/club won't even consider the loan. It's annoying but it happens, especially when loaning to lower division clubs.

It was an incredible kerfuffle. PSG got interested mid-season and I wasn't too much against selling him. I worked an offer during the winter window, say him goodbye and he told me he'd much rather stay. So he stays, and at the end of the season he goes unhappy on me because I won't let him leave... to PSG. He's arguably the best player in the world bar Dollarumma.

Oh yes, he is. It's a shame that he's managing probably the most talented generation that we ever had, his call-ups are just as big of a joke as his tactics. He's clueless, the latest big scandal around him was a couple of months ago, when it was discovered that he hired some kind of spiritual healers into the national team, to "cleanse" the players and the stadium. The FA obviously don't care about the toxicity that he brings though, he's a joke. Unable to adapt, he's stuck somewhere in the 90's.

I remember having 82% against a team like Chelsea. Think my average is in the high 60s or low 70s

You're flooding the midfield. That's why you have the ball.
>>
>>77731997
>not using three BPDs
>>77732006
christ, how far along in your save?

my best matches were in the low 70s but against chelsea in the Europa i was at 59 over both legs
>>
>>77732013
that was my thought too but in my counter tactics in older FM games i'd only end up with about 40% no matter what I was doing

to be fair I've not tried to counter since FM14
>>
>>77732006
only 4 years in so far.
>>
>>77732020
Possession in FM is just time you have on the ball, not what you do with it. IRL, Opta's possession percentages are also heavily linked to passing, much unlike FM. You can have buckets of possession in FM and be constantly in danger if it's your CBs who dwell on the ball and keep losing it stupidly.
>>
>>77732038
Ah, makes sense

I think a lot of high possession numbers in strikerless is also due to there not being a man or two up front for your midfield to just feed the ball to, they pass smarter
>>
>>77732038
when I had high possession game, its usually a close game
>>
>>77732053
That's why winning the possession battle in FM isn't too hard: you play on Defensive and pull all brakes: shorter passing, lower tempo, retain possession, play out of defence, dribble less, work ball into box... You'll have the ball, guaranteed. Generally you'll be in danger too if you play that fucking slowly, but you'll have the ball.

I recall that against stronger teams I used to use Play Out Of Defence. I'd have possession... in my own half and not beyond because the press from the opposition forced my players off the ball by hoofing it or losing it. Meanwhile the opposition would get many opportunities despite having the ball less often simply by playing faster and more incisive football. All that with just one instruction. Of course it's circumstantial, hoofing it isn't a cure-all either.
>>
One little touch I like about FM 17 is when a player is complaining about not playing, the players who back you up are the ones who play in the same position. Same thing with leaving to a new club.

It's a small, but appreciated touch.

Well it can't really happen, I sorted out the house before leaving and we were the best club in the world, so by virtue of money and rep. It's not like I won the CL and quitted immediately.

My Ass(Wo)Man took over. She kept winning the 1. SNL (tough hun?). She didn't win the CL again until 2028/2029 however. The two CLs after my four wins were won by City, then Utd, then >us, then City again. And yes, at age 67, Mou still manages Manure. City is managed by Zidane at the moment, who was free after he was sacked from France but wasn't contracted by Triglav, oddly enough. Benitez was the manager before him; he won the CL in 2025/2026 but got sacked immediately after lifting it.

Katanec didn't resign until 2028 that faggot. Slovenia hasn't had any better player ever since I resigned, the best regen still playing for Never Ever.
Maribor is still eternally #2 in Slovenia and has won a two Pokal and a Super Pokal ever since. Olimpija won a Pokal and a Super Pokal. Not much to write home about the other Slovenian clubs.

>>77734662
>thought frenchanon was telling me not to use BPDs in ligue 2
No, it just meant that it's highly unlikely there are defenders who are qualified to be BPDs in Ligue 2. Doesn't prevent you to play them as such obviously...

FM should have random low-chance events where your players die. i.e car crashes, plane crashes, dying on the pitch
>>
>>77748484
No.
>>
>>77748484
nah, but hope they incorporate stadium building the way it was done in one of the manager games from the 90s, you could improve your stadium section by section.

(Calm) I'm pleased with how things are going lads, keep it up
>>
>>77749353
i didn't mean it dismissively, it looks like it could be interesting
i just literally don't understand what you're doing
why is everyone on your team chinese? why would you get chinese regens as well?
>>
>>77749447
>Being pleased with anything ever

What are you, their mother?
>>
>>77749453
It's a Chinese club in Portugal, I assume to help train up Chinese kids using Portuguese facilities.

or it's just an immigrant club

and I assume I'd get Chinese regens because it's a Chinese club.

Romania FC in UK gets only Romanian regens

Are expectations still fucked in FM?
>>
>>77750027
I get to set mine a month after the transfer window closes
>>
>>77750027
Expectations were never really broken except in the instance of you massively overachieving and you could argue that isn't unrealistic since we've sen teams overachieve before and the manager getting the chop when they perform averagely next season.

I want to play football IRL but I am really bad at it how can I play without getting bullied? I try to join groups but they are mean to me and I have mental health issues as it is.

not joke post pls to help.
>>
>>77750534
where do you live

are you at least a little normal?
>>
>>77750534
You could always go to pedal to the metal on conditioning and become a winger/right-left back then you join some team of older men.

Beware of their tackles, but if you're serious about wanting to play you can get away with a lack of skill if you have great conditioning.
>>
>>77750557

I live in England. Like I can take a joke but if the people there genuinely don't like me because I'm bad then it's not really fun-like if everyone else is crap and you just joke about it that's fine I am not completely incompetent but you know it's not really fun to be the black sheep in a bunch of good people who are actually tryhards+good.

I am willing to put the effort into that sort of thing but I have naturally bad co-ordination, although I am pacey at least.
>>
>>77750534
Git gud or play with friends
>>
>>77750567

I'm not great fitness at the exact moment but I used to be a great runner, I naturally have a runner's build so it won't take much effort to get into a degree of fitness since I am incapable of getting fat.
>>
>>77750586

All my friends are fat and hate sports :/.
>>
>>77750575
sounds like it's more about finding a squad that's on your level then I guess.

not sure why you'd want to take football serious though it's not like you're gonna become pro (unless you're 8 years old ??)

Just have a laugh with it and play with shitters
>>
>>77750603
Bully them into playing with you. Take notes from the hierarchy of society
>>
>>77750618

Yeah that's what i mean, I just want to play with shitters and have a laugh but I don't know where to find other shitters like myself cos my friends are all fatties who hate sports.
>>
>>77750679
go to local pubs and ask about lol idk

most ppl i know who are shit and play for a laugh are playing 5 or 7 a side

Predictions for Nice v Napoli? I think maybe 1-1

If Napoli play Mad Vlad in defence, then it will be 6-0 Napoli + Chiriches snaps Balotelli's cock off
