They don't need to beat a man just create a bit of space rather than getting tackled or playing a suicidal blind crossfield ball.

i got a genuine world class regen who can only play MR, so i built a 4-4-2 around him rather than risk nerfing his stats by teaching a new position. no regrets, totally worth it. he’s a complete physical beast and scores 10 goals a season just from zooming into the back post to meet crosses from the left and outjumping everyone. i love you so much massimo rossi

My favorite part of world class regens is watching my assistant recommendations. Got a proper wonderkid shadow striker out of my academy, easily the best I've ever gotten in any fm save. 19, model citizen, wasn't interested in a 176mil bid from Chelsea, easily my star player, won u21 world young player of the year, european golden boy, nxgn award, euro cup top scorer, german footballer of the year, german young footballer of the year, and two other awards I can't remember off the top of my head. Assistant recommends I reduce his playing time to hot prospect Where's the "send for a drug test" staff interaction?

I love it when you get a regen with two nationalities absolutely mug off the bigger side. I remember an old save with Leeds where the £100m striker born in Guiseley told England to gently caress off and went on to win 130 odd caps for Sierra Leone to presumably make his granny proud

Instead, he's Australia's top ever goalscorer with 79 international goals at the ripe old age of 23. If he'd picked England I might have had to keep him.

Season started to falter just before the usual halfway mark when in comes the news that the Norwegian Prem has gone up in the world rankings, and now gets an extra Euro competition place, effective immediately. Top 4 target becomes top 5. Pressure right off. Thanks Rosenborg, sorry about rejecting you. Hopefully I can push it up a few more spots when my first Euro Cup 2 campaign starts, and I don't get punked by some Lithuanian pub team in the first qualifying round. edit: St. Gallen of Switzerland. Tough but July fixture should be to my advantage as I'll be mid-season. sassassin fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Mar 17, 2021 |

I brought Bale in on trial and after playing him in two friendlies I kind of dig the wide target man thing. Just a big lump standing on one side of the pitch smashing in shots and crosses without any other care in the world.

I have a save where I'm managing Juve and have had an issue where offers are being made for players who are on loan at the club. I had to cancel two offers for one player and then right at the end of the window a transfer slipped through for another player (as it turned out I was happy to keep them but that's beside the point). Has anyone else had this? I am 100% sure that I am in control of all transfers/contracts, I triple-checked after having to cancel the second offer for a particular player. Edit: Just as an aside, I picked Juve because I wanted to do a save with some money to splash around as I've not done one of those for a while. I was confused as to why my budget was so low until I saw that Ronaldo was on £1M per week

Bale's agent left him and he's only after £5k/week. Still too much for 17 free kicks (16 long shots, 15 technique, curls ball, hits free kicks with power...)

That LP of FM... 14? on the archives picked up Mid-30s Messi at one point. He had one fine season playing half-time, became useless in the top echelon during the second season and then retired. That's one thing I just hate about football... everyone but keepers is basically past it by 31. Association football, that is... in American football everyone is past it at 31 and has multiple brain injuries.

I thought I'd have the advantage over St Gallen because it's July but it's the loving winter world cup year so their season's already started. Still hammered them 3-0 in the home leg thanks to two late sucker punch goals on the counter. But 10 minutes into the second leg it's 3-2 lol.

how about when your centre half gets the ball near the halfway line and dribbles back towards his own goal at walking pace before stumbling and leaving the opposition striker 1 on 1
