Played some hours and I think I like this version. In not sure if it is *insert all time year* good where I will play 400 hours but it doesn't seem horribly broken like that year where crossing was broken and fullbacks couldn't defend.

Can someone explain work permits to me. Like when I sign a wonderkid it always says work permit failed but then they can still play every game in the league? Is this soft brexit or a bug or can young players just play?

Thats what I thought! But it happened again, failed twice, I sign him and he doesn't get the WP status and can just play. Now I feel like I have cheated with my 4 South American Wonderkids!!

Oh lol I never had dickhead ownsers before. End the season with 170 mil in the bank, qualified for Champions League. I get 20 mil for transfers, 30 mil in bonuses for directors.  Season begin and they now have 140 mil in bank and only give me 20 percent of revenue from transfers. Edit: also I am afflicted with both anecdotal problems with fm18: always missing penalties (i am like 1 for 8) and united winning the league 7 years in a row lmao. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Aug 7, 2018 |

I laugh at the idea of The US getting good at football because culture but otoh if you watch Women's football America is the only country that takes this poo poo seriously and they loving crush everybody with their organisation and professionalism so I mean poo poo, its possible if all the best athletes stop playing American Football. I also lol at Countries that don't invest in youth development that are football nations. Iceland can do it.

It remains eternally funny coming to some Welsh 2nd Div South team and installing some hybrid Gegenpress nightmare system to a bunch of plumbers and sparkies playing football for free in their spare time.

  Gegenpress + long ball did well. Only made 4 amateur transfers, a left winger, two CMs and a striker all of which were immediate upgrades. I'm kinda confused, I seem to have just stopped losing at some point, presumably as the power of ~hoof it into the channels~ was taught to my players. I've signed a bunch of Swansea (championship side) youth players that were released and maybe that will give me enough to fight for promotion next year.

I was leading with 10 games to go by 5 points and TNS came and signed 5 players, half my starting line up, and now I'm 4 points back with 3 to play. I mean, fair, people were playing for free on Amateur Contracts and are now getting paid 200 quid a week. I think I screwed myself by signing so many academy drop outs that would end up being poached to play professionally. I am up 40k for the season though maybe the club will turn pro? Unless it's a Queens Park situation. sassassin posted:Is that Tom Dyson in midfield? Good player in the u18s, was disappointed we released him.

I gave up on Swansea Uni after finishing mid table in the first season in the premier league. I am too old to grind that out, according to google clubs need to have about a million in bank to go from Amateur to Semi-Pro. I jumped to Bala instead, made it to R2 of the Europa League 2 Qualifiers and that seems genuinely possible as we got dumped out losing 1 nil away and winning 2-1 AET at home. Also we played our games at Wrexham lol. And for WPL teams the money from those qualifiers makes a difference. Sitting comfortably 2nd on table with a third of the season gone. Total Network Solutions have checked out already. I think if I keep getting money from EL2 I'll earn enough to try and rough up Total Network Solutions in a year or two. Then hopefully CL and then ridiculousness. The goal is to do what someone did a few years ago where you increase the coefficient so your league gets automatic group stage places lol. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Jul 30, 2020 |

Small clubs normally just get owner infusions at the end of the season. Big clubs just reduce transfer revenue which is honestly more annoying.

My very limited experience with professional sports is players having unrealistically high expectations for themselves and need to motivate themselves to do better and can only do that by being told they can do better. Basically there are people that never want to be told they are doing a good job.

I may have relayed this story before, but I played low legal amateur baseball and if I was told they were rotating the squad and I wasn't playing on the weekend I'd get hella pissed. This is something I did for free, recreationally. And I was bad at it. So I can totally understand a pro who gets paid and is actually good not taking it well. Edit I also understood team talks after our manager said "well these guys are the best so we're going to lose pressure off do your thing" it then started raining and we won a super scrapy game and we felt like utter gods after and our manager told us we did good. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Feb 7, 2021 |
