That's weird. It didn't load the picture the first time I opened it. I was just brought to a log in screen. I see it now.

Finished season 7 with Shrewsbury, with a small squad and a few very young players i wasn't expecting much but we just played brilliantly. Improved on last seasons 6th place finish by finishing 5th, the top 4 (Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea and Man C) are almost unbeatable, those four were also the 4 CL Sime Finalists and City have won the CL 3 years in a row.




My real success came in the Cups. We got to the final of the League Cup and dominated Arsenal but somehow lost it 4-2.

I was still in the FA Cup and managed to get to the final where I would face Liverpool. Almost blew a 2 goal lead when Liverpool scored with there only 2 chances but we came back to win.








Before the FA Cup success though we were still in the Europa League.

Going into the Quarter Finals with Barca, PSG and Dortmund still in the competition I had pretty much figured I wasn't going to be in it much longer. Luckily I avoided all the big names and drew Southampton. Brushed them aside 5-2 on agg.

Then I drew Dortmund. And it was like Arsenal in the League Cup again, at home we dominated but Dortmund scored 4, we only scored 2 and our chances of success disappeared.


UNTIL the most amazing performance in history. I really don't understand how we did that, with such a small squad after the first leg defeat we had to play Liverpool in Anfield, I though if we still had a chance of beating Dortmund I would have rested players against Liverpool even though we were fighting against each other for 5th, I didn't rest players, I threw the same team into the game in Anfield and we won 1-0. Then with almost the same team we beat Dortmund 6-2 (8-6 agg).








Had to play PSG in the final. And it looked over until an 87th minute equalizer.







Not a bad season at all








Have actually built a lovely deep squad now this summer ready for a lot of football and after winning the EL I have now qualified for the CL.


Every year I get FM I play one long save where even the thought of starting a new game just sounds horrible, I'll play this until I win the PL and CL double, might be a few seasons ahead me yet.

Played just 2 seasons so far in my long save..
Started with Sligo rovers and won the domestic treble in the 2nd season and took the post at Nottingham forest in 22nd in championship.cracking game and super addictive

Hey all,

Anyone playing LOI encountering any issues with clubs in LOI reverting back to semi pro, from pro?

What year are you in?
For some random reason in my saves Wexford Youths worth the most in Ireland. The annoying thing for me is being unable to sign free transfer players in January until Summer Transfer Window.

Made it to Europa League Groups twice missing out on CL two years in a row to Red Bull Salzburg ffs
Youth player Conor Ellis at Cork City turns out to be a top top player

Made a bit of a cheat when signing Julian Brandt. Since Germany ain't licensed or whatever in the game, and i couldnt afford his proper wages I offered 60k and 180k when he got 1 international cap. Got a new contract 3 years later, 100k and 250k when 1 cap, delighted with myself

Feckin bastard then declares for England after 5 years and im stuck with him on way too much money

Why dont you delete the inc file and fix the licence issue

Is there a quick way to pick players on the tactics screen? Only way I can seem to do it is drag and drop, or pick them from the drop down. In the squad screen you can one-click the players into position, but is that possible on the tactics screen?

Happens after the first year when clubs revert back to semi pro, I think I've fixed it but it requires a new game to be started and doing a little adjusting with editor.

Like pats drop to semi pro, and can only off deals to key and first team players, and non contracts to rest, but I tweaked a few settings in editor and ran a test seems yo not happen

South America is around September. Spain and Italy are around a week after England. English intake happens between the 1sth-14 March. Just scout everyone with a Yth contract beside them or scout everyone worth over 100k.
I found some absolute gems in league 1 and championship.
I also seem to take on most of Chelsea's youth team when they turn 20 and get released. Just keep anyone rated highly on your shortlist idefinitely

Mourinho despises me in this game!

RossieMan

There are some unknown gems in this game. I've got a guy in my Swansea team at the moment, playing in the championship and hes got 33 goals and 12 assists in 31 games.

Nani is also brilliant in the championship in 2018.

More info: i didn't get swansea relegated, i stated in league 2 and took the swansea job at the start of the 17/18 season. Easily getting promoted.

Any way of getting money out of the chairman in the january tranny window without having to threaten to quit?

He's absolutely brilliant! :pac:

I'm currently with Arsenal and just finished my 2nd season. This season alone I won -

Super Cup vs Bayern
Community Shield vs Chelsea
FA Cup vs Chelsea
The League (by 10pts)

And i'm now into the final of the Champions league against... You guessed it... Chelsea!.

So when Mourinho gets asked at the press conference what he thinks of my achievements he answers.

I've got to be honest, I think Blobby is a bit overrated and i'm surprised by his recent achievements

The CL final plays out and i win 6-2 with 10 men :pac:
His response..

I'm infuriated by the failure of my lads to get the job done. Arsenal were there for the taking and I still maintain that Blobby is still a very average manager. The players let me down today unfortunately

:P

He said I was an average manager at best.

Is just my laptop or is anyone else finding this years game ridiculously slow to load up initially, saving, and loading screens in between matches?

I find it slower than fm14 alrite, but its not to bad with a good few leagues. Im rocking a i5-3550 & 8gb ram. I don't even have it installed on my laptop it would drive me to madness.

My 3 year old laptop is under a bit of pressure playing this years, the slow saving issue was fixed in the previous update.
