Getting back in the saddle after multiple years away lads.

Is there a consensus best version or should I just go with latest?

fm12

14

They all kind of suck, but it's never really nice to go back to a previous versions since while they all have their kinks, they have some other shit ironed out. Although the new scouting and training modules are absolutely heinous.

I think most people in /trb/ consider fm12, fm14, and fm19 the best as of now

I quite liked 13, putting aside all the "he certainly didn't mean that" nonsense
I guess I'm a deviant though

13 is a lot better than 14

Maybe that's just some of the more contrarian posters saying they prefer 14 then, I owned 12 and didn't buy a newer one until 17

I'm so tempted to make myself Brazil manager so all my work permit-less players get caps, then a work permit, then I quit.

Getting permits isn't too hard for me if the players do have decent potential, problem is you can't get the homegrown status because of the loans.

What pisses me off it the amount of worldies other teams score. Winning 1-0 with 60% possession and 15 shots on target, they get a corner from their first shot of the game, the corner is cleared and then a DM who as scored 1 goal in his career sticks it top bins from 30 yards while being charged down

Same situation I'm having but I'm playing 4-4-2 with a LM/RM. All my goals seem to come from my left mid deciding to become prime John Barnes to dribble past the entire team and stick one in the corner

>tfw backup keeper get injurefor 6-8 months
feelsgoodman, now he cant complain over 0 playtime

Yes the solution is stop playing because that's been an issue for me since I started playing and I'm going to imagine that's the story for everyone.

if you work out the answer to that you'll never lose again

Not these rules. scroll down for the Brexit rules.

It does seem like total shit that the AI csn pull of worldies or your centre backs go walkabout despite having tight marking set and concede regularly, yet my winger with 18 crossing can't beat the first man with the ball and my strikers can't find space despite their off the ball being high

I thought >wingers were better than inside forwards or wide midfielders in a 442. Fix my tiktak lads, I've been thinking of putting full-backs on support even though their crossing is shite just so they don't get pinned back constantly by wide players who never have to track back.

I always like a BWM in a 442.

There's nothing blatantly wrong with it, you just need to organize a shit load of friendlies to tweak it while watching. I prefer BBM to CM(S) to add a bit more activity to the midfield, as well as FB(S).

What's his finishing and composure? It's often better to have a guy with 14 finishing, 14 composure and 14 penalty taking than it is to have a guy with 13 finishing, 13 composure and 15 penalty taking. Remember, Finishing is the skill to put the ball in a part of the net that the GK cannot reach, remember, Composure is the ability to not fluff the shot and kick it at the GK or wide. Penalty taking just takes these values and works on them into a quality value.

I hate this fuck so much. He always goes to Arse in fm19 and in my English save I can never beat Arse. I'm not assmad btw

he's been extremely polarizing for me. he either scores a hat trick or goes 6 games without coming close to the net

Seems good enough. Dunno why he's struggling. Is he missing or kicking at the GK? Or are the GK making insane saves?

its been a mix iirc, ill just chalk it up to match engine bullshit

Wonder how he'd do as a Treq.

I hear you, he is the 2nd most unintelligent player I have ever had, behind Junior Toillett in fm 13

Already had a training facility upgrade underway after a request, now the board commissioned one themselves scheduled to complete two months later.

Does it just reset and do the same upgrade, or does it to two tiers in one go now?

What is your favourite role in football manager?
For me, it's the Inside Forward

The Scott Parker role

AMC Advanced Playmaker/Trequartista, but mainly Poacher for FW's.

I currently play 14. It has a nice mix - the modern big money clubs are all already in place and the ai is pretty good. Also it has all the roles you need to make pretty much any modern tactic work.

>wanting your midfielder stealing goals from your 18 year old striker you wanna sell
Pleb.

Lads, I need some help with my Deportivo de La Coruña game. I'm constantly racking up 15+ shots on target but never more than half are on target. I'm winning but I dunno what to do. I've literally had some games where I've kept the enemy far away from my goal, not even a single shot on target and bar before it crashed during saving, was best I had managed in coming close to no shots in total. Berbatov is scoring enough to save me, but I'm playing a meme formation which I don't think is working any more where I have a SS behind Berbatov who is playing as DLS. I could play another striker but nobody good enough to really do it.

Sorry, 15+ shots in total but never more than 50% on target.

Gonna drop my SS after he's done 5 games now and has a terrible average rating. He can play as a FW but have a feeling he won't be any better there. I think I might have to since Berbatov can pass well. I'll try him as AF, if he doesn't do better I'll put another guy in as AM.

Just give the ball to BerbaGod and let him figure out.

He keeps fucking up though. He scores but still shoots a lot. 67% shot accuracy.

I play fm19 and strikers are broken so I need my attacking mid to score

Which skin is this?

So he smashed the record for goals in the CL with 23 goals, and all he needs is an average performance to cement the best average rating in the history of the cup.

He burps up a 5.9. He misses 3 CCCs in extra time, including a missed penalty. He then misses the first penalty in the shootout. Somehow we win. I've never seen a player shit the bed this hard in a final. I've gotta fine him when we just won the CL.

Attached: 2042 cl final.png (1920x1080, 2.18M)

"The Tempo Skin FM18 April 2018". I use it because you can autoplay matches, and let the Assman take over.

For some reason, a player who misses a penalty not only takes a hit to his rating, but tends to go go through the rest of the game like a ghost. It's only seconded by a player making a mistake leading to a goal: those still hurt, but it's VERY relatively easier to recover from.

Last chance for my golden age of Turkish players to win the world cup. They beat Japan 5-1, Ghana 5-0, and Ukraine 2-0, so they're looking pretty good.

In other news, Italy and France fail to get out of the group. And in the worst group of all time, Portugal, Chile, and Saudi Arabia finish level on 2 points (all 2 draws and a loss to Holland). Chile fail to get out of the group with the best player on the planet.

generally speaking i do think that in football there is probably a reason most teams use a striker

you need money and rep

Or to resign. Then lo and behold: His (ex-)club will become pro in a moment's notice.

you playing fm19?
Just use a dlf(s) or cf(s) and have your inside forwards and attacking mids score the gols

God bless AI managed chairmen. Last time I left a top club they did a firesale on my players and signed midtable english talent for £50m a pop.

My Make Deportivo de La Coruña Great Again game is going great. Berbatov is banging them in.

Forgot to say, I got Park The Tank Achievement as well. That's how good it's been. I know Deportivo de La Coruña were a relegated team but this is lel.

Is it just my computer getting old or did load times increase dramatically since FM17?

What's a good way to get a replay up, saw the lelest OG. Guy from outside his own box passes back to the GK, GK steps forward and the ball slowly trickles over the line.

use shadowplay/relive then convert using webm for retards

>guy is playing like shit
>sub him off
>highlight ends up with him scoring
>follow sub anyway
>sub scores two goals despite being orange level competence
To play or not to play now. Guess I'll try.

when I have a sub lined up it always seems to be the player about to get subbed that scores

Both.

I just want to get 30 fucking consecutive games without conceding so I can do this achievement. But it's requiring me to save scum. I hate it. I don't care if I win, just I don't concede. All I can think of doing is loading up some dogshit team and editing defenders and GK to be world class.

That goes against of the point of being an achievement.

Except when you do it for 17 games and concede due to some ME bullshit you rage. Or I do anyway. It was so much easier in earlier editions.

I dunno, defending always was kinda fucked in FM.

The problem is situations like this.

1. Box scramble
2. Balls richochet around
3. Ball hits your defender
4. It's starts slowly dribbling towards the net
5. GK is paralysed and shepards it in because the game doesn't allow back-passes and the AI doesn't run to kick it
6. Goal

or

1. Defender with acres of space heads a long ball towards a pacey striker when he could have let it bounce or chested it and they score

or

1. Set piece shit fucks up and they score a freekick with 11 freekick stat

I hate it. I hate it. Every time I've conceded this run (which is only twice so far) it's been from some fuck up with the ME. Not a case of a well placed pass or anything. It does my nut. If the ME was 'fair' I would be OK.

He'll be GOAT by the time he's 18 then if you're putting him in Day 1. I usually put 16 year olds for a year in the youth team, abuse the 'training' there, then take them to first team which boosts it even further. He could be a bit faster but he'll be fucking great by 18. I can see 16+ Finishing, Composure, Off the Ball, Work Rate, Decisions and Anticipation and possibly Technique. Dribbling and First Touch are a bit iffy but they might be 16. Technique would also be good. Need 16/16 Speed, sadly. He probably won't get that. He might get 16-17/15.

14 or even 16 isn't that big of a leap, just some parts of the interface moved sideways

I only recently changed from FM15 to 18 because I accidentally Shift+deleted my save game folder

I'm not figuring out how to make this formation work anytime soon.

My men..

Save your bumps for later. We're gonna need it. And you don't support Ajax anyway you bandwagonner.

Juve bankrupt when?

My favorite role? Now that would be the double mezzala. Also known as the base of 'Tungstissimo' or 'Tungstenball' for English people.

I support Ten Hag though as he is from my area and I have supported him aince his GAE days.

I'm unfamiliar with the scouting in FM19. How do I tell my scouts to only scout QT regens?

post it

My guess is 'Look for young talent' in the usually suspect areas (that you can scout). Or just download a program and find regens, saves time. doesn't mean they'll be good or work. if you mean cute generated faces; not possible iirc.

Oh yeah just found that. Should I target Brazil/Argentina? I'm playing with the Brexit rules so I don't know if I'll be able to snap up as many nubiles from there, otherwise I guess I can focus on the UK

>download a program

I can't say I've played with many English teams exactly for that. But I would recommend South America and UK. Eastern Europe is also a good idea.

Yes? Why not. It's a fucking game, saves time. I don't care if people want to cheat or not. He might be OK with using a program and I am OK with it. But if he doesn't, I gave him the proper way to do it.

i had a dope 20-year RB Leipzig save but then /trb/ bullied me into not liking RBL anymore

Boy am I glad that I get to carry this momentum into the THREE AND A HALF MONTH-LONG WINTER BREAK.

Fuck Russia.

>Rotor is about Khimki
What? Khimki has better GD. Russian rules different?

>Games Won
>Results Between Teams
>Goal Difference
>Goals Scored
>Away Goals Scored

In that order.

Huh. Neato. Never actually done Russia.

Neither had I, but it's my journeyman save and I'm able to take a wealthy relegated team straight back up and playing in the Russian top flight will do wonders for my reputation. Currently most of my players are unhappy about not leaving following the relegation, but they're good enough that they can underperform and still walk the league.

>signed Belal for my team
>didn't actually check on him until now
>those physical stats
Oh dear. Well, hopefully he'll win fouls when somebody sneezes at him.

Flat 5-0-0-5

My last 3/4 numbers of this post is my new formation

Looks like a 0-4-6-0 to me, user.

it's a fucking mess
also I couldn't get a true 0-4-6-0

Just slide the defensive line lower so the 4 act more like a back 4, change the AP to a Carrilero, and you're good to go.

I can't change the AP to a Carrilero since that's a wide role. DLP could work I'd imagine or CM/BWM on support. I dropped the line.

How the fuck am I supposed to defend in fm19?
No matter what I do my defence are completely useless

So you're basically >oile

are there any hidden chemistry bonuses for racial hegemony? always wondered that

The thread is still alive!

I really want my toothpaste flag back..

Already had a training facility upgrade underway after a request, now the board commissioned one themselves scheduled to complete two months later.

Does it just reset and do the same upgrade, or does it to two tiers in one go now?

Wide midfielders > wingers

Thoughts on wide AP's chief?

Weak mind
>getting bullied by football manager simulating autists

Fucking Juventus lowballing my players and making them unhappy that I reject the offers.

Pure shite

Brehs I don't want to leave my current Liverpool side. I'm so proud of them because they literally never give up and fight for every inch but it's getting out of hand. My players and tactic are just too strong brehs. Pep guardiola AND Mourinho are both managing in the prem against me and man city have a great squad and incredible defense with Rafa B... but still we just keep winning.

I thought this would be a rebuilding season because I've finally moved on from relying on Club legend and captain Joao Moutinho as my holding midfielder and sold a few of my young starlets when PSG and Tycoon-stoke came in with absurd bids. I was going to play the kids and come back to earth in terms of results. Not so far.

Attached: thought it would be rebuilding season.jpg (380x568, 39K)

Poor Man City even had an invincible season and we still squeaked them on goal difference. The disappointment of this loss crashed them back to earth a bit the next season but my side repeated the same record twice more on the bounce and won two trebles. I've never built a side so relentless.

It's been years and I still don't understand the purpose of that role at all.

Wide men should always be inside forwards, or one IF and a winger(s)

A better question is Pressing Forwards or Advanced Forwards?

>Wide men should always be inside forwards, or one IF and a winger(s)
Not if you play a 3-5-2 like I do

Mbrappé is fucking overrated in this game
holy shit

Is that new?

I fucking hate how often shots hit the post in this game. I sweat SI have made shooting shit to compensate for how shit they code defenders

My sixth month demo for fm2019 just finished last night. Might end up buying the full version now. Though for scouting is it really you have to pay for packages and can't like just go scout individual countries or micro scout? Or maybe is that just a thing because for the demo I was coaching a 3. Bundesliga Team?

you can do both. getting packages increases your knowledge of players (I think) and increases the number of those players scouts will find on their own.
bear in mind that fully scouting a player you have zero knowledge of, especially if they're not a starter or play in an unloaded league, can take months

Thanks that is good to know. Though was I just not finding the option to do that? Because I could only find the packages and not the individual ones. Is it not there because I am in the 3rd division or maybe it is somewhere else because I am still trying to get used to the new layout

individual scouting should be available from a player's page, go to reports-->get scout report
scouting a country is on the scouting-->assignments (f7)-->create new assignment page
you're right that your club's stature probably means you can't scout outside of germany or maybe central europe. nevertheless, those options should still be there, just limited to players based in your region.

Thanks for your help user. I guess I am trying to still get used to the new layout on top of me not having played FM in a fews years and I am trying to get back into it again

yeah, they've shuffled things around compared to previous versions. most of the old options are still there (except sliders...) but sometimes you need to dig for them.

That isn't even a question, Advanced Forwards all the way

Derby got relegated to League Two in my save and are currently stomping the competition with their players being paid an average of £3.2k per week

He's not great though. He should be doing better. What do I do now? Keep playing him? Berbatov has slowed down too. He's on 12 in 13 with 3 assists, he was originally like 10 in 8.

nice to know i can always depend on the match engine to score on my at '45 and '90 because of >muh concentration
