Football Manager 2020

Or is he in the under 21s/18s?

Might be talking simple solution here since it could be a simple problem

Have looked at all the squads,signed him as a free agent he isnt there, when the international duty message popped up he was one of the players going on international duty, have the same problem with another player in the squad

This is the problem Im having

This takes on a whole new meaning

best of luck with Rovers

So....I have been indulging in CM 01/02 since lockdown began pretty much, and feel I have perhaps one more season left in me with WBA (three league titles in a row and chasing the CL this season ). Avoided getting this when it was available for free on Steam, but thinking of making the plunge shortly. Is it worth spending €54.99 on?

It's not worth spending €54.99 on through the Steam store, but for less than €20 through CD Keys it's worth it. The code comes instantly there's no reason to buy it for more through Steam.

Thanks.

I've done just that.

Bye bye social life

No problem, spend an hour downloading and installing facepacks and logopacks and you'll be even more sucked into your own world, at a minimum download the leagues and nations fixed that you'll see on the likes of fmscout since they need to be done before starting a save

Are there any essential patches or anything like that that I should download before getting started? Will use FMscout for the tips and advice etc.

Started a save as Shamrock Rovers. Tactic I'm using is a 4-5-1 gegenpress attacking with no offside trap and custom full-backs (Some tips I got from BustTheNet on twitch).
Won the league in the first season, second season got through to the first knockout round of the Europa League and lost by one goal to Galatasaray after beating them at home. had some unbelievable wins in the group stage a 5-0 and 6-0. it seems playing high tempo attacking football against a better opposition can actually work.
In my third season now and not really enjoying it, the fixture congestion is a pain in the backside but it's true to real life in the LOI. Also my scouts aren't really finding any good young players for me.
I'm looking to try and move to a club with more room to improve, I've applied to Watford who are in the Championship and it seems I might have a chance just waiting on an interview now.
Overall I am enjoying the game just the scouting system is a bit annoying when you are a small club.

Update: Finished 2nd in the league after a good championship group run in. Looked at my team and seen that my defence wasn't as good as the other top teams so my plan was to strengthen my backline. I was given 20 Mil to spend on transfers so I finally got the right winger I've had on loan twice for 3.3M and then bought a cracker of a Striker from Brazil that Arsenal were looking at, looks like a proper superstar but it blew the rest of my transfer budget so my hopes are all on him for the league and champions league. Hopefully my weak defence can cope for another season

Update: So my 17 year old wonderkid didn't light up the league like I hoped he would, so in the January transfer window I picked up a slightly older Argentinian wonderkid striker who was much more consistent.
But even with that it wasn't an easy season and we ended up just winning the league on goal difference, in our last game that we needed to win the 17 year old wonderkid scored a screamer in the 88th minute.
In the 4th season (I think) now, strengthen the defence with a Belgium CB from Ajax who is very good and also bought an excellent young Brazilain MC who Arsenal wanted... they always seem to want the same players as me but never bid for them.
Goal this season is to win the league for the 3rd time and improve on our Champions League campaign which so far has been very poor.
Still undecided how long I'll stay in Belgium, I think it depends on how this season goes... I am still keeping an eye on the job vacancies.

I have found 4-3-2-1 very useful. I create my own tactics from scratch however.

I really struggled tactically in the beginning when going from 19 to 20 but bhat I've found with the tactics is that you really need to adjust them to the team you have. So working the ball into the box if you have a striker that's good in the air won't do you much good.

I have two primary tactics, both using 4231, one set up with high tempo, pressing, work the ball into the box, and I use it in games that I think I should win. I then use the same formation, only with much slower tempo, time wasting on games where I think I'm going to get a hiding.

I adjust my tactics based on the players I have, so at the moment I have two defensive full backs, so my instruction is to underlap my midfielders, whereas if they were better as attacking full backs, I'd have the instructions set to overlap. I've noticed that its considerably more difficult to score with defensive full backs

I let my assistant look after opposition instructions, unless they are playing with wing backs, where I will just show them onto weaker foot & tackle harder.

I don't have anything to back these tactics up except for the fact that I got to a champions league semi final, won the league cup, FA cup and Europa league with Wimbledon. Moved on since to Bradford and have re-established them as a championship team.

I've played Football manager all the way back from it's inception.

This year is the first time in a long long time that i have invested serious time in the game - i gave up years ago due to the detail level (don't get me wrong i'd have loved that when i was a young lad starting out at it). Basically i delegate everything.

I put the time at the start into finding good staff and delegating everything.
My career has been Man Utd->West Ham->Arsenal->France -> Man Utd -> Salford.

In my game I am now in 2038, I am at Salford where i have won everything there is to win. I am not here to tell you that though, you might not believe Salford could reach the top and win it all? I am only here to show you who won the 2038 World Cup. I attended the game once i noticed they had made the final.

I present you with the following:

Jose must be a fan of FM20
