Speaking of Wrexham, there is a long LP of an older version of FM (14, I think) on the archives. After getting sacked from another 2nd division team, the LPer was hired by Wrexham.

he's doing a new one now I think but the wrexham one will forever be legendary.

If you're in the lower leagues and need bodies then get some loans.

People are really shy about loans, get as many of those blue names as possible.

also if you're semi pro, non contracts are completely insane value, you can have man city tier squad depth for your level and just win games via never having fatigued players.

That reminds me, in every FM game I've ever played (back to FM18) Brentford has shot straight to the Premier League and stayed there for decades. Is it just me? I thought Miles was a Watford supporter.

Brentford are probably one of the best run clubs in the world, the fact it took them so long to get to the premier league was down to bad luck more than anything.

Does this game just have one tactic that dominates every year regardless of opponent tactics and will almost always win based on the level of composition? That's kind of sad.

No, no there are about a dozen lol

ive been playing 4-3-3 gegenpress for years and it overperforms every year.

also the AI is really bad at the game.

i think my biggest pet peeve for football manager match engine is how penalties are scored like, less than 50% of the time.

it's mental.

JustJeff88 posted:

I found it quite humorous that they did a major survey of penalties (I presume all kinds) and found that, by far, just shooting it straight down the middle was the most reliable way to score one.

All they need to do is move the spot back a fair distance. That would give the keeper more time to react and more likely to save, and also raise the miss chance. That way, giving a penalty in live play would not be such a game-changing decision and it would make match results less likely to swing on the whims of officials and flop artists.

was the survey before or after they changed the walk up rule? because when you were able to stop and pivot at will in the run up it seemed like every time you'd just send the keeper the wrong one and put it down the middle.

When did they change the rule? I'm honestly not sure. It just works because keepers have no time to react - they just guess. It's essentially a sort of double-bluff that doesn't involve much physical skill, which is why I advocate moving the spot back.

looks like 2010, so probably checks out.

I want to get into this game but uhh I don't know anything about soccer. I play a ton of Out of the Park but this is so foreign to me.

Should I start with an American team? Is that easier to understand assuming they only play in one "league"? Set nearly everything to automated coaches?

do not play in the MLS.



play in france, the bundesliga or the netherlands.

these leagues are pretty open besides the top spot, have super friendly registration rules and have a clear target to take down.

main thing to focus on at the start is morale and cohesion, that will win you alot of games on it's own
