    Any idea when the patch will be released or has it been already? I don't want to start a game if there's a patch on the horizon.

    I'm having thoughts of buying it. Still on 15.

    Always enjoy it but then after wasting about 4 weeks of clicking what is essentially a really nice spreadsheet I always think I'm wasting my life.

    Ahhh, I'll buy it now and deal with the regret later.

    Bought it and I still cant decide who I want to take over for my first save,
    spent an hour looking at the teams and leagues and I just couldnt decide

    Might just have to use the random option

    My plan is

    -some team in the 4th tier of England.
    -Get them up to Prem / Champo.
    -Manage Fulham whereever they are by then
    -Get them to Europe
    -Lazio
    -Win everything, sun oneself on banks of River Tiber.

    Or something like that.

    I get excited about editing the game as I do playing it.
    I created an All-Ireland league in FM17 - it took me weeks.

    Am I weird?

    Just bought this an hour ago, really looking forward to getting into it. Had an itch for some fm for a couple of months now, but I wanted to wait until this released and reviews seem good for it.

    Just took control of Curzon Ashton as I've never heard of them, and I'm going to see how far I can get relying on youth intake only. It should be a good challenge :pac:

    What's the cheapest price out there than anyone here has found?

    Got it with CD Keys last year for a little over €30, they're doing it for €33 this year but can't say I have any loyalty to them if anyone knows of a cheaper place

    Injuries has not changed for me. Seems like every game I get 1 or 2 players getting knocks that requires substitution

    Ended up managing Ajax, will try and use the youth system, and if I have to buy a player he has to be under 20 years., should be fun or frustrating

    On pl game 2 with Chelsea, already lost Willian (4 months), Giroud (2 months) and Kante (4 weeks)

    Same crap different year, why is there always an injury problem at the start

    Eff off

    That's the one really annoying thing with the squad issues, just feel like telling them to get on with it.

    I dont mind general squad issues, but when they cant be helped its a fecker

    I think this year players complaining about lack of playtime is a lot quicker, thats getting annoying fast

    Second round champions league, lose 4-1 away to Napoli.

    Go 1 nil down at home, the comeback is on in what was a mental game, pogba scpred a peno, 1-1 mata scored right at half time. Pogba again scored 3-1 , then last few minutes get another peno and pogba missed, until Juan Mata scored and draws the tie.

    Extra time Napoli get two players sent off, both team are wrecked, Pogba misses another penalty.

    End up winning on penalties.

    What a match!

    Anyone else having problems with the game updating on Steam, starts downloading the update then right at the end it says update blocked, have changed servers from ireland to uk and back again in steam setting but still get the same issue.

    In other news just signed Fekir for Liverpool at end of season but Salah is off to Madrid. Just won league and i lost in final of European cup 2-1 to Juventus. Will change system now to 4-2-3-1 with Fekir behind Bobby Mane and Pavon, with Lucas Paqueta to supplement them

    Paqueta developed into a first teamer in first season in my save and won player of the year and young player of the year. the more game time the better.
    Celtic had a left back Tierney - bought for big bucks 42/43 million. Turns into a cracker and good captain! not seen him mentioned anywhere else

    I haven't had many clubs looking for my big players (Arsenal) for transfers in comparison to previous FM.
    actively have to offer them out at a discount

    How far in are you? Id kind of expect that in your first season at Arsenal as they have largely underachieved before then.

    Yeah he has been great for me in a 4-3-3 playing as attacking playmaker centrally, need more depth in midfield and Fekir looks quality so couldnt resist. Also gives me option to go 4-3-2-1 in certain games depending on injuries or opposition. Tierney is great, just signed for united in my game though and i have Robbo anyway so will go with a young backup to develop, currently agreed a fee for lewis of Norwich.

    Brexit has just kicked in for me so am limited on foreign players so need to start scouring england or signing lots of youngsters
