>wingers

Made this new one purely to moan at SI for having the challenge league totally fucked up
>transfer window ends on february 15th having not opened until Jan 15th (same irl I checked)
>player registration window ends on January 31st for no fucking reason

amazing work guys, this has survived 3 patches
now im stuck with replacements for sold players who turned up on feb 1st or 2nd because the game didn't treat the 31st like deadline day and make them sign their contacts in time

I bought 2019.
The tactics thing seems quite weird.

within like two hours you'll just be clicking on clean slate every time instead, all it really is is a set of premade team instructions to try and help new players work out how to use them

I didn't know there was a clean slate option.
Fun.
I've heard this was a really good version. Last one I played was 2017

>really good
it's a little better than the previous couple, which is about all you can hope for from a new version of FM

HATE this bullshit, in real life this kid would be getting sniffed at for £10m+ at least but his cunt of an agent wants a release clause worth one Josh Maja. I'd happily sell him for £4m if I was able to put a sell on clause but this game just fucks me over. Same thing happened with my last decent striker.

meanwhile one of your benchwarmer 30 y/o defender/fullback/(((false 9))) with the physicals of a wet noodle is going for $10m i assume

1) Cuz' it doesn't always match;
2) Because it's not England.

Both starting fullbacks were out and the guys we had left would be squad players at a League One side at best. Expected the worst but then I shouted at them and the French guy scored three goals. Based lad.

I had something similar in türkiye but at least it was only for the qatar wc season, I can kind of cut them some slack for that because it’s complicated.

Looked at Switzerland in the >advanced rules and it just looks like a basic fuckup of putting the reg deadline before the transfer deadline.

>9 game loss streak to end a season
A-at least we only came 12th

If you repeatedly offer the player to other clubs, he will accept that you're doing your best. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the Promises screen anyway and you should see the promise change after a while.

On the other hand, a truly worthless player might as well get forced out with repeated offers of Mutual Termination.

>signed a perfectionist
>have no idea how mentoring actually works since they changed it
lol

Perfectionists have garbage temper. But basically... you put every player you want to mentor in the same squad (I know it's dumb, but that's how it is), create a mentoring group with the players you want to mentor, and you wait.
>youtube.com/watch?v=6AHRav-kHRY

you can also create mentoring groups in your youth squads. my usual MO is to offer contracts to anyone with promise but also to any old shitter with a good personality, and then stick all of them into a mentoring group. a little bit of the good personalities from the shit players will rub off on the good players, not much obviously because they all have the same influence, but just enough to make it worthwhile

I used to keep shit players that had a good personality to see if it would have an influence, but I don't have long term experience to offer.

it's pretty marginal. but if you get it going right away, you do notice that the 17 year olds you might want to give a chance in the first team a couple years down the line are only slightly shitheaded as opposed to human garbage, and have trained a little better as a result

>draw 0-0 vs bottom team of the table down with 9 men
>instant result EL match vs Sampdoria not wanting to witness a spanking

Because it's boring to play in a club where everything is handed to you.

That's how the AI gets away with BMW(S)/BBM midfields in a 4-2-3-1: players good enough that it doesn't matter that the pairing is shit.

I've kept everything on an external hard drive, even the saved matches that I'll probably never watch again. Can't bear to part with the memories.

I promised a player I'd upgrade my coaching team, but adding one more slot and staffing it with a great coach hasn't impressed him.

Even if I could improve from here I can't justify it. 4-4.5 star coaching in all departments is pretty good in the second division.

Anyone tried an AF and Treq partnership? I know a poacher/treq would be make more sense, but I like my AF too much to change it.

Considering the AF and treq roles both score and create, I can't tell whether that'd mean roughly equal goals and assists for both or if we'd completely lack penetration with the AF going wide and the treq staying deep with nobody in the box.

They usually have better ticket sales than you do.

I don't think it appears in the news anymore, but I remember in older FMs they'd often do things like selling off their facilities to save money. I wonder if there's still stuff along those lines going on behind the scenes - reducing their number of coaches, slashing their scouting and youth recruitment budgets, etc.

Or failing FFP. That can happen, but you really have to go full retard. Usually clubs just flop and get relegated when they can't afford it anymore.

what match highlight setting do you lads use to play FM? extended, key or full?
To those of you that use any other than full, how do you actually analyze your team and its weaknesses? The Ass. Manager's advice is fucking useless

extended until I'm walking the league and then key

I don't need to see weaknesses in my tactics because they're perfect

Trip on Mitchell.

I remember one save on FM10 (or 11) where Inter went completely broke, all their ageing players retired or were sold off, they had no manager for some reason, but they still had GOAT Balotelli up front with a godly Japanese regen. Combine this with absolute dogshit 16-17 year old regens in defence and in goal, it gave them both the best scoring record and worst defensive record in the league. Something like 92 scored and 88 conceded. Even weirder it was only like 6 years into the save.

I miss the crazy shit.

Used to do comprehensive, until comprehensive included 13 offsides per game. So now extended usually, unless its 25-30 minutes in with zero highlights, I'll go on full for 10 minutes minutes to see whats going wrong.

SO fucking close lads

We go again.

Guys, never become a manager of an African country. You can only choose players within the country's border. What the hell is this

>What the hell is this
Football before Bosman that Belgian cunt.

What's a country you've always meant to do a save in but have never found the time or motivation to do so, /trb/? Why?

Why haven't we done the save in that country or why do we want to do a save in that country? Fuck sake Diogo ask the question properly

African Championship of Nations maybe? Don't know what it's called in FM, but the participating countries can only play players that play in their own country.

I actually remember this regen in 2019.

I wanted to do a hexagon but got bored after like two seasons

Asia just wasn't challenging, it's a grind but the leagues are easy so it felt like an endurance test above all else

I'd like to do one where you move around clubs but in fm its easier to make a club good than it is to get an offer at a better club

Perhaps Argentina since they have a good number of clubs in their league, but I wouldn't object to other countries if they had at least 18 clubs in their top division; otherwise it's pretty boring. Haven't managed in Sudaca yet. There was a Argie LLM db for FM18 in the Workshop, haven't seen one for FM19.

Attached: This is where I come to cry.png (500x372, 247K)

I did the journeyman thing in FM18 and a little in FM19. Started at Clyde, got an offer at some second tier Chinese team, overperformed, got an offer from LAFC, won their CL equivalent. Did all that and was still having troubles getting a low-tier Prem job. On FM19 I only did it for two clubs, won the Indo PL twice and then got a job in Korea. Was fun.

We upset Olympiacos and the Estonian champs upset Maccabi Haifa and holy shit maybe we can get to the groups with another favorable draw

My first experience in FM was 2010 where I started a save as some brazilian third division team that had no right backs in the team and 6 CBs.
Played a season and afterwards I quit, fuck managing in brazil

Did si do this deliberately just to nerf them lol?

Choked a 3-0 lead at home to Rosenborg in the Playoff and then my strikers went cold as shit in the return leg. EL again it is...

Egypt, Serbia, Belarus.

Does the VAR in this game always have the same outcome? It's always no goal

sounds similar. I think mine was in fm10 too. different club, but also in the 2nd or 3rd tier. I think we had about 15 central midfielders and no forwards

all but one of my var checks have been goals

this. and any time they check to see if the foul was in the box, it's always just outside

var was just a cosmetic add-on knowing SI

I've had
-shirt pull? Goal
-push? Goal
-obvious offside No Goal (this was just a late offside flag in the division without VAR)
-trip or something? goal

So maybe the pull and push don't get pens in a division without VAR but the rest were just normal calls

Everytime they show whether the ball has crossed the line it's the same result

>goalkeeper comfortably saves and holds at shoulder-height
>distributes, play continues
>2 minutes later we have to go back and see that the ball was almost a foot away from going in

>another guy wanting to egypt
we wuz pharaohs n shit

Why isn't egypt in default anyway, SI gave them insane youth and money and then didn't add a db

maybe pyramids FC is such cancer they don't want to touch the league. I wouldn't blame them

I did this. in FM16.
I quit half way through the first season.
Ended up at Peterhead and they were also shit.
I quit them at the end of the season.
Joined Cheltenham halfway through the next season in the conference and managed to finish 2nd then eventually got them up to League One before I stopped playing.
That was a good save.

One crazy thing that happened was after Zidane got sacked he ended up as the manager of Hamilton for 6 months, where he got sacked because he was utter shite as a manager.
I wonder if him going to Scotland had anything to do with the fact I was there? I had all the major leagues loaded

I don't know what your issue is specifically (could be a low number of matches, could be a specific league format, etc), but FM's fixture computer has always been quite iffy. It tends to stack matches very early and very late into the season instead of spreading them evenly.

Depends of the version. Stamina isn't as good as Nat. Fit. IME.

How far did you go this time around?

Is there some trick to getting your players taken on loan?
My board refuses to get a fucking feeder club but absolutely no one will take any of my youngsters on loan, so they just sit there and rot and don't develop.

Has anyone had the issue with blurry as fuck text and managed to resolve it? Every year I have some obscure issue with FM with no solution found through google

So it's probably a what date each day of the week is fuckup with scheduling not adapting until after the break

be a big club
don't give your youngsters such high wage and status that they won't want to go on loan
give them a handful of first team appearances, even as a sub, before you try to market them

I knew there was a reason why their kit on their FaceBook page had that infamous chequerboard. But still SI quality: these are nothing but regens and in a country with 9 foreign players in the main squad and 5 in the match squad, none of them have Chilean dual-citizenship. All born in Croatia.

from what i've seen eastern euros (aside from poles) are rare as well

It's mostly based on common immigration/emigration tendencies. Your manager's nationality can have an effect, I think the club's scouting knowledge and staff nationalities can have a really, REALLY small chance of triggering a weird nationality, and obviously your affiliated clubs depending of the options. Well except for the USA where you can find everything.

Does this kind of retarded shit still happen in fm19? It seems like the moment you change instructions everything goes to shit.

I don't know. To be honest, if I'm slaughtering a team I just don't change anything. Maybe drop back a notch from Positive/Control to Balanced.

to some extent, yes. the ME has a hardon for fucking you over if you switch to a defensive shape. what 19 gives you is more clearly separated tactical options, so you can easily tell your players to retain possession and not try to counterattack, but without asking them to drop deeper and invite pressure
these options were available in previous versions but they were a little less clear

do you guys have any tips for starting at a club where you dont know a single player? i've been trying to get into lower leagues but find it hard to manage well without having some real world knowledge of the players

play the first season without expectations; play it with the goal of getting to know the squad and deciding who is worth keeping and what additions you need

>do you guys have any tips for starting at a club where you dont know a single player?
Don't press Space on your first day before assessing the players, staff and state of the club. You may have to promote or demote players to different squads and shit like that, hire staff targets to fill gaps, fire redundant staff (fuck DoFs 2bh), see in what positions you lack depth, who to loan... Just don't press Space until you've set everything up.

so this is the el

Attached: kino.png (1920x1080, 1.86M)

make sure to remember about 5 core players that came with the team because you'll replace the shitters soon enough. Unironically mouth player names to yourself if it's a country with samey names and you have a hard time telling atakan arslan from arslan ecevit, etc

just got 19, what the F is the difference between calendar training and schedule training?

>community.sigames.com/topic/452839-fm2019-the-unofficially-official-training-and-mentoring-guide/
Then decide that it's fucking retarded and leave everything to your AssMan.

>and leave everything to your AssMan
this is a perfectly reasonable solution, but you still have to stop them from scheduling match practice 2 days before a fucking league game

ok I know SI is retarded but if I add a schedule that means my players are more likely to get injured it says. is that because it's extra training or what?

doing too much physical training (or match practice) increases injury risk, or so FM says. if you have multiple physical things on one day you'll usually see the "intensity" metre turn orange or red for that day's training. if you keep it in green (and rest any players that your medical centre says needs rest) you'll only get a "normal" amount of injuries

Ouch. At least these are mentals and they can improve if he has leftover PA, but I doubt it. Don't all AMCs suck in FM19 anyway?

I definitely can't make the AMC position work. Which is a shame, because I also have this guy who had a fairly good last season, netting 16 goals in 24(19) matches, but this season he's just invisible, same as Odegaard.
Think I'll just remove the AMC from my tactic completely, really. None of my players perform there.

Attached: peder.png (1920x1080, 481K)

Odememe has 5 Finishing, his mentals aren't that good, he isn't fast enough to leverage his Flair and can't just keep the ball since he's turbo manlet with no Strength. On top of that he cannot defend. He can only pass; only role he'd be decent at is DLP(S) or something similar, but even then his Positioning is garbage for a deeper role. He really isn't good.

Sorli at least is better balanced and younger. I prefer to play 4-1-4-1 (without AML/R); I'd like him as a CM(A) or similar.

I'm unironically contemplating selling Odegaard in January because he's fucking shit. At least he scored 4 goals last season, this year he's just... there. Not doing anything.

Will a complete forward work with a false 9? I'm thinking of running that with in 4-4-2. With others being mainly defensive.
FM19.

Best roles for 2 strikers?

I've been using an AF and DLF because I don't play with an AMC so I wanted the DLF to drop deeper into the space but i'm finding he struggles to get forward after he joins in the build up.

I'm thinking changing to a Treq or False 9.

I also have the option to change the AF to CF if that role will suit the pairing better.

Attached: 1463672178816.jpg (873x609, 284K)

Maybe. In theory it will limit the CF as he'll only work one channel, and will render the F9 a bit obsolete in his role. If you set the F9 side's winger to attack you can get the benefit of the F9 role, and set the CF side's winger to something more stationary, you can find the CF well without them stepping on each other's toes.

What would be the best thing to use then?
I have a good CF. So I want to make the most of him. Maybe a 4321?

I had success with 2 inverted wing backs and 4 midfielders and 2 CFS.
I've heard midfielders are worse in 19 though.

Trying out a treq and AF now, but I can't tell how well it works yet because the guy at treq is old and gay. But I can see the sheer amount of dribbles and runs he misses because >agility 8. So it might work really when after finding a replacement.

Patrician choice

In my current save as a Conference North team I started getting interviews for Championship jobs after I got them promoted to League One. Then I basically got offers to interview for any lower-level Premier League job that came available. Based English bias.

It does seem to be tied to manager nationality

So what you probably want to do for a long save is start in some shit country but set your manager to be from a country with a better league and then possibly a second nationality in an even stronger one

i.e. a Turk/English manager starting in Romania
dunno if this will actually work but jobs certainly seemed biased towards that

Might explain how I got an MLS job after saving a Chinese team from relegation. Also there's a massive bias to getting jobs from the same country/league you were in. When I was at Clyde the only interviews I got was from Scottish League Two/One teams

That's not bad.

I'm ok with spending the rest of this save in a 14k seater. That's bigger than I normally get in one of these saves.

I made that mistake, sold out my first five games in the Championship so requested an expansion and it only went up to 6k from 5k. When I got San Marino into Serie B the same thing happened and we went from 5,5000 to ~8,000 but then a couple seasons later it went to 26k (can't remember if we expanded or if it was a brand new stadium)

delicious

looking forward to expanding every other year until I'm an established cl team

When we didn't meat League Regs my club just magically found 1,500 extra seats all for the low low cost of an £800k loan

tfw I'd like to expand but my 7-straight times Latvian champions are drawing a league-high 464 spectators per fame, filling 9% of our stadium

lol

iirc we (a club founded exclusively for a small kurdish community) are playing 100 miles away every home game

Do you guys ever just continue the save and pick up a different team(or whoever will take you) after a firing?

I unironically never get fired but I think I would carry on if it wasn't trying to do a one club save

This is like the 3rd time I've been fired in FM, most of the time worst case, I can mid table or float until the next season.

There was nothing I could do with this team, no one was happy, half out of contract, injuries, no matter what tactic, anyone I brought it. Just a mess

>opposing keeper saves 12 shots
>6.7 rating

It's FM, not real life. All keepers make shit tons of saves to balance the fact that FM generates shit tons of shots. IRL you'd be doing really well if you stopped 5 or 6.

Sometimes I do travelling saves so getting sacked is just part of that. Once I got sacked from my One Club save because the new owner wanted to bring in his own man (we were 4th in the PL, next season they were 16th and sacked the guy they brought in to replace me). I just decided to see what team would take me and I ended up winning Ligue 1 with Montpellier

lower level fm is annoying sometimes

Just got fucked by Serie A retarded non EU players restrictions.
Rules say you can buy one (depending on how much foreign players you got) non EU plus another one if you free a non EU spot (sending or loaning out in a country outside Italy).
I did buy two non EU guys (not at the same time), first couldn't be registered before I loaned a young foreign guy out. Now the second one, same story but even after loaning a non EU and sending another one I still can't register him.
This must be a bug since rules clearly say you can register the fags if you make room for them. idk maybe I didn't het the rules right but I got 2 non EU in and 3 out but I still can't register the cholo.
FMRTE can't do shit either, even changing nationalities, freeing and rebuying the guy doesn't fucking work.

never sign two at the same time

Yeah but I signed two in earlier seasons without issues.
Anyway am defitinely fucked? Will I be able to register the guy in winter or will I have to wait next summer?

Loan one out if you can it's your only option.

Thanks anyway

yeah. knowing FM, it's probably all about club rep
next year your rep will be even higher thanks to european success, so doing well in the EL will probably be more difficult

tfw my rep went up and now I've drawn four of my last five because the ai stopped playing stupid against me

KEK. yeah I'm sure he'd have the humility not to sub himself on every time they won a penalty

so everytime i get better the AI basically ups the difficulty?

just bought a 4 star CA centreback with 5 PA (aged 17) from brazil for 6m and a 3.5 star CA with 4.5 star PA rightback for 3.5m from brazil

the future is looking bright

>so everytime i get better the AI basically ups the difficulty?
More like each time your Rep increases.

and then we beat the league leaders, probably because of this slip in form, and go top lol

did they bump up japan's youth rating in the past couple of fms? they have a lot of good regens on this save

fair few decent middle eastern ones too

>difficulty
sort of. if you have low rep, ai-controlled players will be incredibly unmotivated against you, and their managers will play whatever formation they like. once you get higher rep, the players will be more motivated, and teams will start sitting deep and trying to counterattack against you instead of just flying forward blindly
to some extent it's straight up more difficult, but part of it is adapting your tactics.

Imagine this actually happening

My current save which I started without the Japan DB has some class players including a 20 year old who has 33 caps and 8 goals from CM (just transferred to Man City on a free too). I get suspicious about these things, as if they give them a bunch of good regens to make up for the team not being licensed so the grey players are replaced asap

Irl they play most of their games at diyarbakir stadium, which is a big modern stadium

I currently play the following:-

STANDARD - STRUCTURED

AF(a)
W(a) AP(a)
CM(s) CM(a) CM(s)
WB (s) BPD (d) CB (d) WB (s)
SK (d)

And I'm undefeated in the past 7.

What league should I play in?

Roll.

Do people actually do international management by itself? Seems like you just play 2 friendlies then sim for 3 months until actual tournaments happen

if im between club jobs, sometimes i play international management for two years

I've also done it when I get bored of the club I'm at and have a specific few clubs I want to join. I just wait for them to have an opening while managing an international side.

Yes, but only because I'm autistic about realism

>but part of it is adapting your tactics.

Adapting your players, really. Pace monkeys work great when you're lower rep but are practically useless against teams playing defensively. The trick is to replace your fast retards with slow intelligent guys at the right time.

Is there anyway I can change the default set pieces? I don't want to have to load my custom ones in each time

I don't quite understand Brazilian football. There's a lot of fucking competitions that don't make sense to me

I think there's two main competitions per year, the league (which is nation-wide) and the state championship (which is essentially a domestic cup, but takes the form of a regional league)
the latter is usually considered not very important I think, especially in states where there's only 1-2 good teams. I think ceará is one of those

>First choice striker has a few bad games

>Start young back up
>He plays like shit
>First choice striker comes off the bench to score
>Switch back
>First choice striker plays like shit
>Young striker comes off the bench to score
>Repeat over and over again

I played through old FM's to see if I could do better that international tournament than in real life, that was pretty fun. It was also the only time I thought international management was fun, it's way too limited and not very realistic.

Would using 2 mezzalas and a dlp between them work?

>they don't take over the country they're managing in only to sell their shitty youngsters with a "10m € after an international cap" clause only to make them play in some meaningless friendly to get money

tfw no pitch invasions

19 of course my friend

Now that's a name.

it'll probably fuck up your midfield but the higher tempo and more direct you go the more wingers seem to cross to each other and score

haven't tried wingers in a system where I actually dominate midfield yet

borderline, leaning toward no, but if you can negotiate him down to something like 24k p/w I'd say yes
decent player and reasonable on the ball, but some of those mental attributes aren't very impressive, and I prefer older players to have better personalities to help the kids develop
this is assuming you're using him at CB, and that you have someone with better jumping reach to pair him with. at leftback I'd say definitely no.

is this okay?

mate just show me a screenshot with your tactical instructions as well, and then write out and notable player or opposition instructions
in my sick mind currently it looks like you have like 20 players there, i know youre jsut posting mentalities as well but it looks fucked

you'll have to wait for frenchie but I think using that many playmakers doesn't work well

also that back 4 is just nonsense, your middle rushes out but your fullbacks will play people onside as the cbs push up

>is this okay?
No. It's not even good enough to call bad. What the fuck were you thinking?

it might work, but having fullbacks on defend is kind of loopy unless a particular opponent has a specific threat you want to counter
also you probably want a midfielder or two to get forward and/or carry the ball into attack more, most of those playmakers will be looking to pass it around rather than run at the defense (with or without the ball), so unless your CF is amazing you'll struggle to break anyone down
also, amcs aren't as great in 19 as they were in older versions, so bear that in mind if you're building your team around those two

I'm trying to make a tictac that makes my striker look good. So it was designed to have him score everything. Player makers are all there to give him tap ins. In my mind at least.
I just put the back to the roles they were best at. I honestly never noticed defending making a difference. I think 2 play makes works at least. I could change midfield more.
I was thinking about getting 2 more midfielders and playing the FB as WB AT.
My CF is amazing. I have heard that the AM aren't as good. I was going to tell them to shoot less.
>I will never have 20 players on the pitch.

>I just put the back to the roles they were best at.
don't worry about stuff like that honestly, give them the roles you want them to play unless the player is completely unsuitable

Without seeing the amazing CF, all I can tell you is that your tactics suck.

you don't want to design a tactic around a single player scoring your goals
if you do that and the opposition isn't retarded, they stick a dm and a cb to manmark him the entire game and your players dont know what to do.
its why argentina bombed out of the world cup
its why germany won the 2014 world cup
you really want two or three players who can both score or be the second to last touch, and are in areas where they can play off each other

I know stats are more important than being comfortable. I just wanted to see how it would go for a bit. I figured the FB would mark anyone that was a real threat.
Ok.
I ran a 4 3 3 in 17. It worked really well obviously. However muh goals were split between 4 people. That relies heavily on AM scoring.
I'm not sure yet. Maybe a TM on support.

17 was a very different game. overlapping runs with players cutting it back to midfilders arriving late are crucial now

Take that you lazy-ass anti-footballing Montenegrin cunts

3 shots over 180 minutes and their goal came on a penalty.
