Hi Shlomo, what's the most nazi German team so I can manage it???
Andrew Ward
Hansa Rostock
Camden Jenkins
you're managing dulwich hamlet, right? what made you pick them? how far along are you? how shit is mouyes jr?
Asher Wilson
>what made you pick them?
newly promoted and the fact they've never been to level 6 before. i'm a narcissist, so it feels better bringing them through the tiers if i'm the first one to do it. currently only in first season though.
>how shit is mouyes jr?
pretty shit tbqh, but i just couldn't bring myself seeing the poor bastard being clubless. should take some notes from luca zidane though and suck up to his father more.
set up to score off the second ball, or even more chadly, the counter-counter, whenthey over-aggressively commit to the breakway
Leo Foster
so many hours and not all achievements, shame
Luke Ross
I score quite a fair amount from corners. This isn't 'broken OP' FM12(?) where there was a specific set of positions you put players and if you had capable headers + jumpers + tall you score like minimum 50%.
Aaron Kelly
thats because i;ve only played in scotland for all 30 seasons
cant get all the leagues achievements
Christian Lopez
Should I finally leave FM14 behind and jump into FM19, wait for FM20 or stick to FM14?
Zachary Sanders
Might as well wait for 20 at this point
Adrian Morales
Will it be good this time? Still waiting for something as good as CM4
Anthony Rogers
no idea, maybe wait for the beta to come out and see what people here say about it if you're not sure.
Angel Harris
It's probably time for a new version. Get on to FM15.
Owen Davis
3 months left
Parker Cruz
Wait for 20, then continue playing 14 when it's announced that the CanPL won't actually be in FM20 after all.
FM19 is probably the first FM I've genuinely adored since FM15. I'd normally say wait for the newer edition, but you'd be getting a great edition on the cheap if you go with FM19.
Mason Butler
>7 games without conceding is league record and held by Juventus >I'm on 6 games without conceding >7th is a home game against city rival >they get a bullshit penalty call and score
>have three away legs all 3 days apart from each other back to back >two against atletico madrid in copa del rey and league >one vs dortmund in champions league >none of my players can run because they are all exausted after the first 10 min
how is this even allowed? they dont even do this shit in real life scheduling
Juan Murphy
What's the most Kino name for the top division? Premier League, First Division, Serie A? My vote, superliga desu
Ligue 1, even though I dislike the contents. Enough of all those "League 1" divisions that have another "Super" or "Premier" bullshit division on top of that. Number one should be the top division.
won FA cut with newcastle and went to united. i had GOAT trincĂŁo on newcastle and now i have fucking sanchez and lingard. i think i fucked up boys
Carson Johnson
You deserve it for leaving willingly.
Hunter Hill
I like Ekstraklasa
Jeremiah Nelson
> first division is called Premier League > second division is called Champtionship > third division is called First Division yea England should be disqualified
> third division is called segunda division spain can fuck off too any country that has a championship and a premier league before the
Isaac Flores
/trb/ league is 1. Hotpocket Championship 2. Babby League 3. /trb/ Championship 4. Expansion League 5. LLM League
Should be a uniform system
Tyler Reyes
Also, Yea Forumserbowl bracket. /trb/ has a first round bye to face the winner of /copalib/ vs /ligamx/
>FM19 >start in Academica, get promoted first season >5 or 6 seasons in, manage a cheeky Taca de Portugal final and get EL access >2 seasons later get Braga job offer, take it >second season and I already regret it and now I got a Sporting job offer but they turned me down because I said I'd need a slightly bigger budget lmoa
Owen Foster
Can you stop disrespecting Sweden's Second Division in front of me.
Yeah horseshit, when I last played, I got so pissed at one match I resorted to reloading (something I never do in any game) just to "prove" it was scripted, because my quintuple-winning side I'd made the best in the world by leagues over ten seasons could not, under any circumstances, beat a team that was at bottom of the table, 20/20 losses with 6 goals scored, 72 conceded (QPR, btw). I must've reloaded 200 times, changing every possible thing, but they would ALWAYS equalize or take the lead, usually in the last five minutes. They even came back from 5-0 down a couple times and my players simply would not do what they'd been doing for years and stand around like morons.
how long until this cunt's bravery increases again, if at all? was a great ball winner for this level, then torn his calf and after 3 months out, he's apparently afraid to stick a fucking leg out again. he's finished, isn't he?
Hey guys, I was wondering for how long to these games usually receive support for? Will this game be keep updated 2-3 years from now?
Daniel Young
2-3 months*
Logan Perry
Damn, is this latest version worth getting?
Dominic Bell
yes tBh, 20 is still 3 months away
Mason Jenkins
Ok thanks!
Jonathan Scott
Fans usually make database updates for games if you're a fan of staying on older versions. You can play with the 2019/20 season on FM17 for example thanks to fan patches.
Gavin Price
This is great to know, thanks. Can't wait to try it out!
David Hughes
FM has a really strong modding community so you should be able to find ways to make old games stay interesting, and updated. And there's tons of gimmick databases as well to spice things up.
James Lee
good league 1 teams to manage in? Thinking about either Bristol Rovers or Lincoln
Jayden Gonzalez
Hmm are there any fantasy databases with magic and shit
Austin Hernandez
yeah if you play the default FM database your players will suddenly be cursed to put 37 shots wide while your opponent scored all 3.
Xavier Rodriguez
AFC Wimbledon to fuck over MK Dons or Accrington Stanley for the name
Colton Sanchez
Yeah I really enjoyed my Third Age Middle Earth save. Signed both Elrohir and Elladan, GOATs. Also got a pretty good Rohirim regen for cheap.
Nolan Reed
Why cant my strikers play well? All my other players score goals, contribute etc but my strikers always get 6.7 and bellow ratings. Usually i play 4231 or 4123, even my midfielders score more goals than my "strikers". playing fm18 come at me
Colton Carter
if you're willing to go league lower, burton albion could be fun with state of the art youth/training facilities.
you should probably start by analysing the chances they get. are they getting good chances (centrally, close to goal) and just not finishing them (check shots analysis to see where their shots are going) or are your creators shit?
I just want a very deep midfielder to cover for my retarded fullbacks that go way aggro
Nolan Sullivan
If they take the gameplay of FM and adapt it to gladiators or some dragon age tactics bullshit (but without player control) it would be a retarded good game
I want to start a new team. the two teams ive been using to get the two opposite experiences are River plate de Montevideo and Barcelona. . But in both these instances i either have literally no money or a shit ton of money. And id like to play in between those two extremes. What would be a good team to coach that has decent funds but that i can help build and still need to get promoted through the leagues?
Jaxson Hughes
>tfw want to praise a player for his recent training but I know he's only going to get mad again and have a morale drop
Luke Fisher
Do Blackburn Rovers A very fun experience, trust me
Josiah Jackson
is a midfield 3 with a deep lying playmaker behind two B2B mids on a short passing system a good idea?
Chase Rivera
Sounds like you're describing a Championship or 2.Bundesliga side even though there aren't many leagues to go through until you're as high as you can make it. And any further down you're unlikely to find a club that has "decent funds" to spend (and generally it's smarter transfer said funds into your wages and live off frees and loans in the bowels of most countries leagues).
Leo Murphy
>his captain isn't both number 6 and a holding midfielder
This tictac is working pretty well for me atm, overwhelming teams with attack and so far I have scored 3 or 4 goals in my first 3 games.
I'm shit scared that I'm going to get exposed and teams will figure out how to stop this, so I tried to develop a 3-5-2 defensive version of this. I switched my regular tictac to that and ended up conceding two goals.
Any suggestions as to a defensive, counter tactic that can be used?
I play ---------------------------GK----------------------------------- FB (Defend)--CB (limited)--CB (Limited)---FB (Defend) WM (Support)----CM (Automatic)--CM (Defend)---WM (Support) -----------------------TM (Support)----P (Support)
I set everyones creativity to minimum, and play very rigid, Contain. As deep and as narrow as possible. But that isn't the beauty of how I play. You see, every player on my team, bar the keeper, has at least 16 for creativity. Most of them are under the age of 22 as well. They all have the potential to be some of the most incredibly creative and exciting players in the world, but I can't have that.
Nothing gives me more pure, filthy gratification than seeing little Passyzinho run into a corner to get the ball and getting surrounded by players. You can see it in their eyes, how badly he just wants to do a rabona and then curl an exquisite outside of the boot pass through to the striker, but before he can do it, he looks over to the touchline and see's me shaking my head.
He knows he will be punished. So what does he do? He boots it, hammers it, thumps it into touch, while I smile, semen already rushing down my leg and getting caught up in the hairs on my shin. I know these players could be so much more. But I prefer them this way
Striker is the most volatile position and probably occupied by some johnny foreigner who has little meaningful connection to the club and its fans. Plus he's probably going to be sold in four years when either his legs go out on him or he realizes that he's better off playing somewhere other than an isolated island in the north Atlantic.
>miraculously get through EL groups by an 88 minute goal in the last match >draw OM in knockout time for rape, their top player is worth 15 times more than my entire club's balance
Kevin Morgan
>leading 4:0 somehow >lose 4:5 what the fuck is this game, I hope my defenders get cucked
>start up a new save >several first team players sent out on loan, club has several far worse players in on loan
Is it cheating to go into the editor before a save and cancel a bunch of loans you never agreed to?
Cooper Rodriguez
Yes.
Jayden Evans
Yes it is.
Sebastian Rivera
I gave my logal club Haaglandia 80 million euros to speed up my way to the eredivisie and I give zero fucks
Gavin Clark
Too bad money isn't worth as much as Reputation™.
Jose Perez
bumped that up to that of the 7th placed eredivisie team :^)
Wyatt Perry
Is 19 much different from 18?
Austin Diaz
Here's what happens when you give a low rep club money >sign shit players >overpay them >don't grow fast enough >fail ffp
Charles Brown
Italy probably has the best regens in this save. It's usually always France
Jason Ward
Which FM did you guys enjoy the most in your lifetime? Was it based 08?
Levi Hughes
FM15, because I wasn't savvy enough about how FM worked but still knowledgeable enough to enjoy my success. And because there were heaps of >user dbs and graphic mods. Now the >user db scene is a wasteland ever since SI fucked up .fmf files import from old versions in FM19.
Henry Martinez
I enjoyed 05 the most, I played it again a few years ago and its undeniably terrible compared to just about every addition since simply due to lacking so many features but I had the best time managing in Swden and playing in the (now defunct) Royal League. It was like a great inbetween tier of competition between when you get good enough to smash your domestic league but you're still to shit to do much in Europe.
Easton Long
since i was dicussing the shittyness that is the var system here some time ago i thought ill share an article that i think makes some decent points about var and modern football in general. enjoy i guess.
snippet: > Stranger still, in the most recent Copa America semifinal between Brazil and Argentina, a possible penalty for Argentina was overlooked by the referee and was not deferred to VAR. Seconds later, Brazil scored at the other end of the pitch. It was alleged that VAR was unable to intervene because of technical issues resulting from communication interference by Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro’s security team. no idea why i didnt know this, but fucking lol. and i dont care if its true or not.
Easton Davis
VAR is obnoxious in how ref bias for one team cannot be prevented.
Noah Lewis
is there any real benefit to having experienced players in your side, or can i fill the team with kids and hope for the best
Joseph Stewart
I think I'm going to sign James Beattie to be a support striker for Shevchenko/Inzhagi but the fact that Milan is signing James Beattie to support Shevchenko/Inzhagi is putting me off
This is bad and you should feel bad for downloading it
David Parker
Tutoring/mentoring and overall more Mentally strong players. Kids usually will shine in physicals, but need a bit more time to develop multiple tekkers and mentals. That said, you can very well succeed with kids in FM since the development curve allows it.
Hunter Bennett
Hey. I can't have a bigger UI than the 125% zoomed in one. I feel like I could just edit a config file and put it at 150% or 200% but I can't find the config file I need in my FM19 folder. Anyone know how to do this ?
Luke Ward
>Needing bigger than 125% I knew that 4K and 8K were memes. And I have really bad myopia.
i passed through that station, pretty nice station but there are no seats on the platforms
Blake Butler
Which one, Brussels-Central?
It's ok-ish
It's one of the only stations where they have to have signalmen so that the ticket checker can close the doors, on account of the platforms being slightly curved because that's the design the king requested way back when
antwerpen probably has the most conventionally pretty station of belgium
logos are much smaller size, so just grab them from fm scout (they usually host on mega/mediafire).
Sebastian Hill
pls help. The only Databases I have downloaded is the transfer update sortitoutsi, and the name fix. It's never been an issue before, So I'm wondering if anyone knows whats going on?
Ça suffit pas Nothing wrong with enjoying all PC games with the comfort of playing in your bed with your girlfriend. I don't want To hurt my eyes and I want her to be able to follow my game while she reads or something Calm down incels
Aaron Jones
>not being the one in the couple who reads and politely endures any childish hobby of his special one
I wouldn't want them to see the same faces circle again and again. That said, it would also imply that I have a save currently; I'm just here for shitposting.
idk if you guys have commented on this yet but have you seen Miles' latests tweets? He said that this year they wont announce any fm20 features until later than usual (october or even early september iirc). You guys know what that means, right? It means that they have absolutely nothing. Brace yourselves for the worst FM iteration ever. For you that are thinking 'come on dood it cant be worse than FM17' I'd like to remind you that we're talking about SI here.
Jayden Diaz
Hardly can be worse than FM16 or FM *click**click**click**click**click**clic- ahem; I meant FM18. And FM13 already was a FM12 rehash, so it's not like it's news.
Henry Wright
CF(s) > F9
Julian Gray
>He doesn't want improved grass graphics and more Danish names
Caleb Green
it feels like this happens about ever other game. I either with 3-0 or i lose 1-0 having had 20 shots with half on target. while the other team has 1-2 shots total
Eli Torres
>it feels like this happens about ever other game That's called selection bias my dude.
If I want a lone striker who is basically just there to finish off attacks, like a poacher, lay it off simply, like a target man, what is my best option?
Poacher will not work unless I have a striker paired with him. Target man activates hoofball mode and completely negates my tactic Advanced forward seems to work okay but he ends up dribbling on the wing a lot, I want him to stay central. Complete forward does whatever he wants to do Pressing forward I don't know what he actually does
I used to really like defensive forward support but it no longer exists.
Defensive Forward has been morphed into the Pressing Forward, so you should star there. Almost every striker role on Attack duty has either "Moves Into Channels" and/or "Roam From Position", which means they won't stay central no matter what. You gotta get used to it, and feed them properly.
That said, it could very well be that your striker is a fucking retard or that the rest of your tictacs is shite. If not both.
Fuck sake, I started a PSV save, thought the squad was lacking players, so called up loads of players from the B team, really enjoyed the save. Then I played PSG in the group stage and noticed their team was really different, with no Neymar, Cavani etc... then I realised that I’d subscribed to a meme “Thanos wins” database that removed 50% of all the players in the game. Ruined any enjoyment that I had
Jordan Harris
Or they got something big...
(Tbh 19 is good so minimal changes means the game can't get worse and maybe will get slightly better even)
Seems based to me. I prefer the double-snap myself: no one left!
Michael Allen
>not watching first 15 min of every match in full highlights (sped up, ofc)
if there's any glaring issues, you definitely spot them that way. then i switch to extended or comprehensive, if i'm super paranoid.
speeding through saves isn't for me anymore. i tend to lose interest very quickly if i don't analyse/tweak shit constantly.
Mason Morgan
Been playing FM a while but never been good at developing young players. Any tips please? How do you judge if a young academy player will bang or not? Is it simply their potential star rating and their personality? Or do you look at their raw attributes and see something there?
Angel Fisher
O'Higgins
Jace Wilson
The Greek League is really fun to manage in FM19. Within 2 seasons the Super League gets reducted to 12 teams so it's more interesting that way.
Jaxson Bennett
my theory is based on if their training report is positive then just play them constantly. I have a feeling it doesnt work but i honestly couldnt think of a better way
attribute masking is on, (ofc), so most of the cheaty features of that skin are off, the injury risk thing is convenient because I'm horrendously bad at training management
I use wingers in the midfield strata exclusively for width, roles and instructions are for getting them to go forward
Jackson Cook
What's a good laptop to run FM? Asking for a friend
John Torres
Sounds awful.
Charles Ross
keypoint is upgradeable ram and ssd slot (if you like very very low load times)
processor is the non upgradeable bottleneck, aim for a decently clocking 8th or 9th gen intel, so just buy a laptop with an appealing form factor and a decent processor
ram isn't that expensive for laptops, a stick of 8 gigs sodimm dd4 cost me ~30 eurobux, and an m.2 sata ssd of 1 tera set me back another hunno
Colton Sanchez
Anything with an SSD should get you really good performance for FM. But yeah all of . I have a 512gb SSD and 8gb RAM and my FM can run a 200,000 player database as clean as anything.
Brody Phillips
follow up, if a laptop has no clear documentation on upgradability, don't fuck with it
read a few reviews on laptops, and once again, the only things you need to pay attention to are build quality and processor
Aaron Brooks
2-footed means he's good. It's the iron law of FM
Jayden Young
Lads, did any of you play one of the premier manager games? What's your opinion on them compared to the fm of the time.
Wyatt Kelly
Any old ThinkPad with an i5 or i7 and with an SSD should do fine fren
Carson Fisher
if you think that's bad I use iwb(s) in the fullback position with hold position on so that my actual midfield can run forward like retards
Ethan Ross
fuck fuck FUCK conte
miserable cunt got sacked at chelsea and then went on to liverpooll where they've actually got the players to make his retarded formation work
fuck him and fuck his african meme pacebabbies, may allah, shiva, YHWH and baphomet give them the gulag
Took over at QPR, they were 18th and after 7 games with me in charge they're 11th.
Playing a comfy 4-3-2-1 P IF IF CM CM CM FB CB CB FB
slowest urgency, short passing, clear to flanks, close down much more, tighter marking
Lucas Smith
Fucking retard.
Hunter Rogers
is my game bugged? half of the europa league groups play their last group game in early january while the other half finishes in early november, what the fuck.
>top 5 in the country when it comes to training facilities, youth facilities and youth academy I know my rep isn't that high but come on, that is woeful - at least this year I have more than one high PA player and they're all on positions I use (even though I have like 6 good GK prospects)
why are promises a thing they never actually help anything and ruin relaitonships
Brayden Johnson
depending on the personality they actualyl can create relationships
for example when you sign a player and make promises to convince him to sign a contract and you make good on the promises you shoot up in their relationship score
Cause we’re flawed creatures who are incapable of successfully loving anyone
Adrian Miller
deep
Jackson Butler
I've left this fuccing mong on poacher training for so that he's gotten a green dot on it and he still only has 12 finishing and twelve compoure fuck me
I feel like I've wasted more CA on his positional training than on his actual attributes
but he's swift, rapid, and quick, I don't give a shit about dribbling, I just need him to make lampard-esque runs into the box and score unmarked tapins
set them to the maximum closing down setting, get them to mark tighter and get them to tackle harder
Christian Russell
They're already set to mark tighter and with the highest pressing urgency. They're just retards. I mean, they're as good as the Hungarian second division can allow, and my goalkeeper saves their asses more times than not, but what pisses me off is how fucking predictable the passes themselves are and that they're always in a prime position to intercept it, but just don't. I suppose that's just the match engine's way of justifying the chance.
Jonathan Lewis
I don't think I'm very good at this game.
Fluked winning League two first season with Mansfield
Started well next year in League one scored loads conceded more, then stopped scoring but still leaked goals, went on two horror runs losing about 11 in a row and later 6 in a row, somehow managed to survive
Next year was doing well mid table and got job offers, ended up going to mk Dons in the championship, they finished second the year I won League two so I figured they'd be underpowered for the league.
Anyway they're 11k over the wage budget and Ives lost 7 and drawn 1 game so far. Lost the last two home games 2-1 in the 88th and then 94th min.
Anybody got any advice for me, I feel like the most important thing in this game is moral and right now it's abysmal, I thought maybe I could recruit one or two players in the Jan transfer window but due to the wage bill it's not been possible.
Samuel Carter
so if I understand things right regarding the creative mental stats:
vision: number of options a player can see in the offered decision tree
anticipation: how man branches in the future the player can see in the decision tree
decisions: the ability for the player to decide which option in the decision tree is the most optimal
composure: ability for the player to not have negatively impacted mental stats when under pressure
flair: weights the player's decision making to more forward minded movements, especially unpredictable ones
mind you I grabbed him for ~10 mill when he was transfer listed, I wouldn't have coughed up the 40 mill they were asking for when my scouts first told me about him
Lucas Roberts
tag yourself i'm players can consider themselves to have "made it" and lose the motivation to continue improving
>wonderkid striker with a shitty 32.5m release clause gets mad I rejected offers from Barcelona, etc >tell him he won't get as much playtime as he gets here >agrees >more clubs keep matching his release clause and he's just snubbing them all Who knew 19y/o Brazilians aren't all money hungry?
yeah,his partner is better. but by the time i signed him i only had 2-3 spots in my team left and about 300 million still in the budget. so i went for a big name signing.
desu, when you have both a First League and a League One (excluding the Championship that doesn't give you the title of champions), then it's a fucking mess
Dylan James
If only the agents in fm19 weren't complete jews who instantly lock a release clause during contract negotiations I would still have this lad in my team
>play as Murcia starting in 2019 in the Segunda B4 >Somehow manage to sign Morilla and he doesn't want to leave yet after one and a half years >Somehow manage to sign fucking valbuena who was without a contract and only demanded 3k in salary and was willing to get a two year deal >Managed to get Lauti but he left after only one season because he was firm on only having a 2 million release clause and Valencia bought him

Logan Cox

Andrew Martinez
redpill me on semi-professional clubs i've only managed one once before and i remember not figuring out how to turn professional
Justin Reyes
iirc you need good results and a stable financial situation for the club to turn professional but it's been a while since I last played as one so I'm not really an expert
Benjamin Bailey
its a real pain in the ass
thats all i can say on them because i dont manage them that often
eh fuck it, they have a cool bee on their logo and play in black/yellow kits so i'll try thanks
Hudson Nguyen
wait its a fucking wasp, the nigger of all insects i'm not sure anymore now, might go with Frem instead
Chase Bennett
I only suggested the team because they have a bee in their logo but I wasn't aware they're not professional, then again it's fucking danish 2nd division
from a throw in, A FUCKING THROW IN... why am i managing a bunch of mentally challenged mongs, incapable of concentrating and doing the easiest of tasks properly?
Cancer. It's retarded because a team can't really prepare against a yoof side, they are allowed to play first team players too. You never know what you are going to face. One week they might trash you 3-0, the week after you might trash them 7-0. It's false competition.
Also no away fans, this match had literally 0 away fans. Which is generally the case.
