You could try one of GMG's standard coupon codes, they usually work.

Anyone have a really good Lower League tactic to recommend? I've tried a few that seem promising, but they all seem to require False 9s or Complete Forwards, and my scouts can't even find a player who can play those positions (other than a handful of Premier League guys), let alone a good one. One tactic got me promoted out of the NL North, but it's not doing so hot in NL Premier.

I think they've only ever shown it for disallowed goals that were called offside, and I think if you're not seeing those replays it's your settings, mate (replays aren't set to Goal Action).

So the World Cup can, as reported, be moved.

In my game Fifa apparently decided that, to avoid the summer heat in Qatar, to play the World Cup 2022 in Morocco.

That's... better, I guess?

This is probably a :thejoke:, but you guys might check the date of that article before getting angry.

It'll still be Top 10 Steam Played Games all year round, though.

Yeah, by and large the goals after winning relegation in any league lower than the Premier League, unless you're a skilled player, should be:

Season 1: Survive, aim for mid-table
Season 2: Challenge for Promotion

Premier League is more like:

Season 1: Survive at all costs.
Season 2: Mid-table
Season 3: European challenge.
Season 4: Title

If you're really good you can cut steps out, obviously. But unless you know exactly what you're doing successive promotions can be dangerous: there isn't much difference between the lowest levels of the playable England pyramid, so it's entirely possible to do that. But then some of your players won't be good enough by several levels rather than just one.

Is your Brexit the "17 foreign players" version? In that case I don't think Work Permits matter.

It should be influenced by things like, say, if the US won a World Cup, or even made the finals, they should get a boost to their youth recruitment permanently to represent increased interest in the sport at a grassroots level. Clubs should then be more willing to invest in their academies to harness the improved talent.

My finest achievement in FM18 was getting Mourinho fired from Manchester United...

and then this year in the real world it turns out he was poo poo all along and is almost certainly going to be fired for real.

I'm no lawyer but I remember hearing back when Bethesda and Mojang had their slapfight over the Scrolls game, that trademark law is hosed and if you don't vigorously defend your trademark against even the slightest threat it can and will be used against you in later lawsuits.

The fact that it took 28 years for ManUtd to have any issues, all the way back into the Championship Manager days, and that since they've received free copies and used the database for scouting in the past, they can't possibly claim they were ignorant of the fact, means that unless UK trademark law is radically different from the US, that SI and Sega might have a very strong case.

Honestly to celebrate that the forums appear to have been saved from death in spite of themselves, we should do another Parmos run.

Alternatively you could probably more likely have 7 3 3 1 where the team that drew everyone gets through on goal differential because the team that won the group smashed the other teams.

When you say 'bottom of the Pyramid' isn't the real Pyramid something like 22 levels?
