guidetofm.com is a pretty good resource. Probably better than many of those listed in the copypasta. Is it just obscure or does /trb/ have bad blood with the guy who wrote it?

Do you think there will actually be anything new in FM2020?
Women's football.
>implying SI would add something that actually requires work to implement
slightly modified UI, a couple new in-match shouts they'll try to make out as being much more important than they are, a handful of new private chat options, and a bunch of bullshit challenges/scenarios etc. that nobody here will bother with
would be my guess
Wrong, friend ;)
press interviews every 15 minutes of the match
a russian user (iirc) gave some info out a few threads ago, mentioning some new staff roles (technical director that deals with staff for you) and ppms. whether it was real or not i don't know, but sounded plausible enough.
Hello

lmao just slap the same attributes as with men, the only things are 1) modify regen algorithm (they're doing it anyway), 2) make sure you can't play men in women's team and vice versa (optional)

League's getting a bit easy now. /trb/ managers are hacks.
I wonder who'll hand me my first loss of the year.
The team in last place in the league obviously
>lose 8-0 at home to Cavalry in their last match
>go down 2-0 within 15 minutes in their next match
>two goals in two minutes
Valour in shambles lads.
3 straight wins and then this to start my career here. The same idiot conceded 2 penalties. I wish I could give him a professional contract just so I can fine him two weeks wages.
>Forge 1.6 for the win
>Even a cursory glance at the league table shows Valour utter shit
The bookies were there for the taking on this new league
>deliberate handball on the goal line
>Borges from the spot
>3-0 after 26 minutes
lmao Jesus Christ
Of Forge and Cavalry's remaining games the only ones I'd have trouble betting on would be the ones they play against one another. If either club isn't getting favourable odds against the rest of the league it's easy money.
last game of the season - we're second with 58 points while AIK are first with 60. They play Ostersund (mid table) away while we play Orgryte (local rivals who're facing a relegation battle) at home.
AIK won and we lost to our local rivals at the last minute - ensuring their survival. I should just resign
But next season's championship will be even sweeter thanks to this season's colossal failure.
Relegating your rivals isn't all it's cracked up to be. Losing derby days makes the next season less special.
well, technically. Our striker core are all loanees and I secured all of them for atleast another year. I have enough depth at almost all positions except maybe for full backs (no youngsters there), and I'll be looking at getting another solid Swedish midfielder (need home grown players) while selling some other subs.
European football is sweet too but the low coefficient doesn't help.
Brehs I go to a service academy and haven't tribbled since June because we can't have personal computers. I'm dying.
Is FM Touch on a phone doable?
>up 3-0 after 26 minutes
>win 3-1
Might as well just give Cavalry the title at this point.
>Our striker core are all loanees and I secured all of them for atleast another year.
You had me worried there for a second. Embrace the EL.
As far as I know it's super casual and barebones as fuck. Are you willing to stoop so low?
442 is the new 433, isn't it?
I'm not dead I swear
too bad they lost at the relegation play-offs, oops
I managed to get our star striker (18 yr old norwegian who we bought for 500k euros) on loan for 2 seasons after selling him to Bayern for 7m
Not happy lads, I wanted 60k seats.
Should have just built the Shearer Dome.
Get it together, man.
>tfw your players would rather play Football Manager than report to training.
What is this pun supposed to mean
fellas reminder that /trb/ is in the Yea Forumserb Owl next week
Why is Elite Wingerman being played as a left back? Are you John Herdman?
Because our various phases of play involve our strikers functioning like triple false 9's with elite wingerman and long throws surging up the wing.
These useless fucks nearly drove me to thrombosis of the forehead.
Some career this guy is having. Never settling.
>AI team playing at a disadvantage suddenly gets a second wind and turns a lost game around
oh, FM
Fuck me, scraped a draw playing 12 against 10.
League 2 potential. Look at all those green arrows. Unambitious my arse, this kid's going places.
Also
>Trinbagonian
Jesus that's awful, even if it is true (and I checked wikipedia). It should be Trinidadian or Tobagoan. But I guess the game would have to check the place of birth of each player to find out which demonym to use. This guy would be Harrogateian.
>playing 12 against 10
Spooky.
Lads what is the hexagonal presentation of players stats actually called? I've seen that kind of graph in other contexts.
Nice one, ref.
Spider graph, since it looks like its plotted on a spider web.
Absolutely NICE. Not only knocked off a team a leading the league above me, but did it in style. I gave away my 3-0 lead just to snatch it away and score 3 more.
serves you right for playing as b*llericay
t. salty dulwich fan
can i get a quick rundown on the league structure in /trb/?
I considered playing as them for the kit colours. But nah, would rather the idea of bringing hordes of bald, Essex white van men across the country with the ultimate goal of bringing them to Europe.
a worthy dream
desu... now that I recall... 2 months ago I was trying to load as many English leagues as possible, with the hopes of loading my hometown team, in the tenth tier. Gave up on that as I had to download something to get them, then gave up. Opened the save today and started plugging away with Billericay. Might rethink that.
Thanks a lot lad
is utv dead
Rangers without me keep surprising me. They have some new talent even after selling off a lot of the regens I got them.
Hey macca could you post my career
thanks
Hullo
He never existed.
Can someone tell me anything about fm 20, why am I only getting 10 percent discount
Absolutely complete list of FM 20 confirmed info:
>Its available on Stadia
>It will be out in November
>Pre-ordering will get you 10% off
Thats it.
Oh, now I remember. I had to start a new save if I wanted the downloaded leagues and didn't fancy losing all my history. Billericay it is.
5 tiers
20 in the prem
24 in the other 4
standard 3 teams relegated in every league and 2 promoted + playoff winner
ahhh i didn't realise you were in the future, any big changes at the top in 2047? any GOATs?
so does it go:
>hotpockets championship
>trb championship
>babby league
>???
>LLM league
The 4th tier is the Expansion League, and the championship is actually the 3rd tier just to be excessively confusing.
I spent about 25 years turning Turkey into one of the most dominant football nations, but still couldn't win the world cup. Instead, Russia won. Romania also won in 2022 thanks to two of the best centre back regens in the world. I don't have their attributes available.
Leverkusen became a powerhouse in Europe winning 2 CLs and were 10 times German champs between 2020 and 2035. They had 2 godly regen strikers that both won the balloon door in that period. I should mention that from 2028 onwards, I won over half of the CLs, so they could have won more.
Can't wait for Tomori to represent Canada at United 2026.
Best player in the world is this guy.
make sure his final game is in goal to complete the pokedex

Maybe he became PM of Turkey and got assassinated or something in your game
I'm playing a journeyman save and ended up at Juve. They seem to be getting like 100m a year for TV rights, but I thought Serie A had dogshit TV deals. Is this how SI "balanced" Juve?
Post Pukki in your save
BIG AMERICAN BUMP ENERGY
russian TV rights is shocking
newfag here, what are the main differences between having a normal workload and a high workload for all the year?
if you mean a coach's workload, I think the higher it is the less effective they are
but for players, I think a high workload pisses off players who aren't highly professional/athletic (and maybe increases injury risk for injury-prone players too, idk) but can improve them faster if they're content with the training
tl;dr it's not a huge deal, just monitor your players as you go along to see if they're upset about it
thanks, so i can make them work harder only if they are happy
Ditched the old save. I'm following my dreams.
How do you have an agent to negotiate you an amateur contract you larping git?
433 is fucking awful in the match engine since you get countered to death, switched to a flat 4141 and were even better. Wish i knew about this before
This guy makes no sense. He's 37 with Herculean physicals, and absolutely no tekkers or mentals. He's been playing since 1998, you'd think he'd at least be able to do 50 keepy-uppys.
What a twat.
ffs, the one meme I wanted
Isle of Mann > Isle of Wight
May well be true.
I saw recently they're considering entering a team in the English pyramid. Except I can't remember if it was one of the actual national teams, some combination of the two or one of the current clubs.
So is confessing to playing FIFA a sin here?
Just to be clear, the Isle of Wight has no relation to the Isle of Man. All I know is that they're basically island Scousers with a rally race.
>Just to be clear, the Isle of Wight has no relation to the Isle of Man
I am aware.
I get it a lot from foreigners. They've heard of the Isle of Man and know the flag. No one cares about the Isle of Wight.
I miss the old times when everyone was a tripfag
just come back from a night out bump
would rather be playing FM tbqhwy lads
Macca you can't just post that I had a testimonial and then not post my career
And we had an irc and knew weird amounts about what was going on in everyone's lives
When did FM peak? Was it with FM13? Seems like in recent years with each step they took forward they also took two back
>two back
Why?
I think it started an irrepressible backslide when they introduced manager attributes
Each ME "improvement" or addition breaks another thing and makes it worse. One year certain type of tactic is OP and the next year by trying to fix it they swing it too far the other side where that tactic becomes obsolete and opens the door for another OP tactic. Also despite not looking much better it keeps running worse with each instalment
Apparently ticking "work ball into box" worked wonders for my tactic
>3 minutes into debut
>player is indicating he wants to be subbed off, it looks like a bruised knee
Interesting. "Pussy" never came up on his scouting report.
Dunno why you wouldn't always have that checked. Without it implies shots from distance and early crosses.
I like my players to have some freedom when creating chances. But yeah, that shit really makes me hit woodwork 5 times a game and miss 5 cccs to win 4-0 anyway
The tip-top tap-in man goes ham at the Ham
>No one cares about the Isle of Wight.
Can't blame them for that.

Since my current character is of Cuban nationality, I was wondering
>How the fuck do you get/find regens from Caribbean countries
>How the fuck do you get to manage Cuba NT
By the looks of the stripes, against KF I think.
>How the fuck do you get/find regens from Caribbean countries
I wouldn't be surprised to see the majority of them spawn in England as dual nationals unless you have the Caribbean loaded.
>>How the fuck do you get to manage Cuba NT
Not sure why you would want to. Especially without the Cuban leagues loaded.
That sounds about right. I probably have myself decent loyalty but mediocre ambition. Could I beg you to post my career stats just to date my autism?
You have any save working at the moment?
I usually have large DB loaded and if you go to the country pages of Jamaica/Costa Rica/etc you can either look club-by-club or go straight to the U19 NT. Stuff just pops up from time to time. One of my favorite regens from my old Gibraltar save was from Turks & Caicos
Yes and no. Can't really be bothered 2bh
I'm starting one up in Greece. Ever done?
Keeper gives no fucks
>Doesn't have Caribbean DBs loaded for this save
>Needs to turn on England
Fugg.
>Not sure why you'd want to
Memes mostly.
Briefly in 15. Didn't last too long because I wanted to go back to 14. Was managing Kissamikos who then merged with AO Chania to become AO Chania−Kissamikos, which makes sense.
Great timing, bro
Just end the league here, we're done.

Beautiful. 2-0 down after 3 minutes, best striker gets injured immediately after, still pulled it back. That Wessex league cup trophy is gonna look very nice on my club page.

God the stage looks fucking awful, really. Is that all Miles could come up with after all those years?
Getting good at this 'win the home leg and it doesn't matter' thing. Hopefully the best team n the save in PSG don't batter me. I've luckily avoided them the last 2 seasons.

First game of the new season in the lofty Evo-Stik League South Division One West away at the media-predicted 2nd place team. Not a single player match fit. In the bag, lads. Planning my promotion party.

wtf, this guy with flair 20 didn't make his debut until he was 28. Was he some freestyle busker working outside a Nike store?
Oh fuck me, he was on Britain's Got Talent.
youtube.com
He wants a £300 appearance fee, but I could get it a bit lower. Do I bang? Could use a passable AMC. This guy has to boost attendances.
Oh nice. I walked out of his first contract negotiation and on the second time he took a £100 appearance fee.
He got a 6.1 and I scraped a draw only after subbing him.
Unfortunate.
My assman has taken control of the last 17 games, since despite stomping the league, I got knocked out of all the cups in the 2nd round and I was hoping I could get promotion before I go to bed. He's been gradually throwing away this grip over the title. The 0-1 home loss to Bideford is especially painful since he used all the subs at half time and lost a guy to injury in the 54th minute. It was also my only loss of the season. 8 games to go with a 4 point lead, and Aliens is finishing soon. Massive pressure. Just like the pressure Ripley was put under to go to that godforsaken planet.
AND IT KEEPS HAPPENIING
>I was hoping I could get promotion before I go to bed
Just stay up.
ok dad
Good man.
Had to bring in this Dickensian orphan.
>Moneyfields
Nice.
never leaving FM15 behind
I can't continue. I need to play this final match but I'm so tired. 8 points clear with 3 games remaining. Next match is at Bideford. I can hopefully party at theirs when I wake up. Good night /tribble/.
Will FM2020 be the GOAT? Also is there a more Chad tactic than the 3-3-3-1 Wide?
Also, here's Trovarn. Captain and club icon in his second season. He's not even getting an appearance fee and no other club will even attempt to poach him due to his love for this club. He's getting a statue outside the stadium that will bear his name.
Good post
I miss regens that weren't aliens
let's see how FM likes it when I beat them at their own game. managing Vojvodina btw

Defender.
Found his book on the Wealdstone fan shop, "And Sometimes the Dog was Busy - Careering Around the Lower Leagues"

Yeah hard to argue with the decision
Ref didn't see it at first, nor did the commentators. If not for Var Sinson assistance, it probably would have stood.
Unfortunate but accurate.
A little odd. Quorn are in the Midlands League, which is the 9th tier, but have a bad League 2 quality team. They probably have one of the best squad in all of the non-leagues. Most of these players were at premier league teams. They just won their league with 39 wins, 3 draws, and 0 losses. They did get a new chairman and have a 200k estimated value.
Rate my intended Argentina squad. I wanted to call up Gonzalo Montiel as my backup right back, but he's injured for two months and won't accept a call up currently.
This is the finalized squad, for playing South Korea and Singapore. Some real rough games to start with.
In October, we play Japan and then Brazil in South Korea.
You better have squad numbers distributed alphabetically.
National managers don't assign players squad numbers.
I don't know why I started Aguero.

Though maybe its just easymode for youth handling.
I mean you can just promise they'll be a regular by the time they hit 20 or 21 which will appease them and if they aren't it means they've flopped anyway and you won't care if they are pissed off
Another minor but good improvement imo, always seemed silly that you never knew how important/unimportant various philosophies etc were or how you were doing in regards to it until they were already pissed off with you or ecstatic.
Nothing major so far but still looks like some nice minor improvements at least.
Boys, it's happened.
I don't give a fuck about FM anymore.
I don't post on /trb/ much at all anymore.
Am I finally free?
The >game that stole my teenage years and young adulthood.
Am I...
Am I finally free?
lmao nobody giving a fuck about social on FM confirmed
20 ME confirmed shit
no
You are under a delusion that you're free, but you're not. You will be back, crawling on your knees for your daily /trb/ and FM fix
So it's an update all about youth. Not terrible, I guess.
I'm ok with it definitely but my expectation is the balance will be bad and every top tier team will have Messi tier players in every position inside 15 years
Possibly. Ultimately, there's going to be a significant flaw in every single SI update.
does it have to be every game?
>the fiveheads live on
Galin is pleased.
MORE INTERACTIONS!!! MORE STAFF ROLES!!!
it's your tactics
YES! TIE CLIPS!
It's probably just a new screen without actually adding any features to """"development"""
A sort of reputation in the lines of "career ruiner" that would scare players away from your teams, especially younger ones would be a good balance to that.
But they probably won't think about that till FM2024
I've been memeing around with the 4-4-2 and I just won the farmer's league. I feel like my strikers and midfield are underutilized, any suggestions?
I'm trying to play a 3-5-2 when in possession.
>I actually know the keeper personally
Screencapped for error reported pre-beta that obviously won't get fixed even by final release
Now that miles has seen it...
>Thinking Mike will actually fix things that are obviously wrong even when pointed out to him
yessss about time they revamped Yoof Intake
>revamped
>you can see a 14 y/o ngubu coming through next year, but can't actually do anything with him until then
yay, another useless, fancy looking screen
Can't tell if this is a good run or not
Who else excited by the new features?
>can't defend properly
Looks pretty fucking dire to me lad.
not really, i just hope they fix the gameplay a little bit and the regen faces and hairstyles
stop ignoring me
where's based kokir and dejan zukic aka the next tadic?
Better regen faces means I'll likely pirate it
i watch the cl game between psg and madrid and di maria's absolute dominance made me start a save with argentina
Really hate being told about these fucking losers who have no chance of being capped thinking about switching to another national team.
WHAT
HE'S ON THE GROUND
IN THE BOX
IN PAIN
HE SCORED A FOOT AWAY FROM HIS HEAD
REF YOU FUCKING CUNT
STOP THE MATCH
HE WAS DOWN BEFORE THE CROSS EVEN CAME IN
STOP THE FUCKING MATCH
>>you can see a 14 y/o ngubu coming through next year
not even that, you just see your regular youth
These are fine I guess, I just hope these are QoL features to start us off, not the main sell.
you know refs only have to stop for head injuries, right
>When the retarded AI Journos ask you about the likelihood of a player in the squad earning a call up
Kek does that always happen when managing internationals
>not even that, you just see your regular youth
>The Development Centre will also offer a preview of your yearly youth intake. For so long it’s been a date in the diary for all managers to look forward to, but now you’ll get information before the new crop of talent arrives so you can gauge the level of talent and plan accordingly. In the months leading up to the arrival of your youth intake, you can visit the ‘Youth Candidates’ tab in the Development Centre to access the preview. Not only will you see an indication of how strong that year’s intake will be including whether there are going to be any high potential players coming through but also any positions that are going to be well covered by the intake.
I mean you can argue it works exactly the same you just get a bit of info before they actually even arrive in the intake but it's a welcome tweak to just having 20 unknowns dumped on you knowing a minimum of 18 of them will be shite
must have missed that
Well, it's a small change, but a welcome one
>but now you’ll get information before the new crop of talent arrives so you can gauge the level of talent and plan accordingly
But that takes away from the experience of getting wunderkinds at MR three years in a row despite my tactic not using wengers.
mate the games just trying to give you competent wingbacks
That's a nice validation of these new tictacs.
>competent wingbacks
Created from wengers? Good one.
this
>retrain winger because he's fast as fuck and a good dribbler
>he'll tear defenses apart, we'll have so much ability out wide!
>he just dawdles on the ball and doesn't defend
>put no-skill slow fullback who would've been a centre back in another life at wingback
>he puts in perfect cross after perfect cross and defends the whole flank
Since when can clubs issue instructions for competitive games?
I hope I don't get 7-1d
For years.
weird
i guess most of the competitive games just happen outside the club season so clubs don't issue instructions
Nice, actually.
>i guess most of the competitive games just happen outside the club season
Untrue.
I can't read.
What kinda caveman name is this.
>Also despite not looking much better it keeps running worse with each instalment
Doubt Google knew what they were doing when they said they'll have FM on Stadia.
Miles, Miles, my dear Miles Milos Mike Jacobson. You don't know what that shit actually means, and it's in the first paragraph.
Took them about what, a decade to fix GK playing time?
Oh wait, "Cup GK" means he'll OBVIOUSLY will want to play in the EL and CL. It's not even out and it's already broken. I can see it.
>[Ask assistant for advice regarding team selection]
>assistant manager tersely recommends directing inquiries about problems to the board and thereafter ignores you
My best memory from 18 is playing in Conference North and having my CB complain to me about him playing out of position when I used him for the last 20 minutes of a match after my keeper went down with an injury and I didn't have one on the bench since it's Conference North after all.
He spent the next few months [Unh] and [Slt] about it.
I like to imagine that Slt stands for "player is salty as fuck from crying like a little bitch"
for me, it's Slut
Anybody know why my fm 18 is crashing during matches? I installed facepacks, logos and kits. Could it be something with my driver or graphics card?
Posting so his memory is kept alive, I'm so sorry that I deleted the save before I got to see how good you would become.
Yes
It's mainly UI updates lads.. Everything that has been announced so far except for the graphics is a UI update.
Board vision and playing time update is new features even if it's pretty underwhelming
"More dynamic personalities that change over time depending on more circumstances in game" seems like they've finally fleshed out the determination booster/killer events.
What's a good team for someone who's never played before? Playing FM17
Its your tactics
Are career ending injuries in the game? It feels the worst I've seen is a 9 month ACL injury
I've seen potential career ending "viral infections" that last for years but they're very rare. Any player over 30 who gets a really bad injury might retire, I saw someone post a Messi who retired in his 20s a few years back
Board vision is just a UI upgrade to philosophies, the time line is new but meh, and the 5 year plan is whatever.
Particularly odd when most managers don't get past the two to three year mark at a club. It's just more constraints for seasoned players since when you start a save, you pretty much know where you're going and how you're gonna get there. It's again a feature for the plebs and we can go fuck ourselves for wanting something ore substantial. Like a less retarded AI.
They need to make a new match engine. Their problem is that when they fix something on this one, another thing breaks. So it's constantly in a swing of brokenness... Not that anything new they make won't be broken but at least they can build it with this experience in mind
...
>FM17 in charge of social media responses
It's not just the ME, it's how FM works overall that needs a fix. Less Reputation™ and more common sense in the decision making. I don't expect AIs to always be logical, just a bit less retarded. But then I'm asking a lot of AIs in vidya in general, and in FM in particular. It's a game that pretends to be a sim but is shit as simulating reality because it assumes and is based on certain things to always be fixed when they're not IRL. "Realism" doesn't only mean being realistic right now, it's also about allowing evolution to take place instead of having a very static game world.
And if it could stop processing like shit on heavily multi-threaded CPUs it'd be good too.
tfw your first-choice goalie gets injured so you use the backup for a few weeks then you forget to put the first choice back in after he's well again for 5 games
>not doing an assmans quick pick and manually correcting it
>ever trusting your staff to do anything
patricians way of doing it.
I think reputation is a good enough system to simulate reality. At most they'd need to adjust how exactly it influences decisions and how its gained and lost. I'm not sure what you mean by evolution but if you mean that reputation doesn't allow for certain things like having a Leeds-like drop off, or a Wolves-style rise (buying good players in the championship) I'd agree
Insanity.
pick a good club in a league with little competition. like real/barca, bayern, psg, maybe one of the east/south eu teams like dinamo, maribor, etc.
wish me luck lads
>tfw
After battling through the qualifying rounds to reach the first round proper of the FA cup, I nearly had it snatched away from me. Thankfully the opposing defender felt sorry for me and gave me a replay. Thanks, Jack.
Fucked again in the replay. Jammy bastards. There goes that Lincoln City 2nd round pay day.
Is Lincoln a big pay day? Also nice 2-4-2-2
It is for me. I have 39 season ticket holders. Never faced a football league team before.
Decided to apply my assman's tactical suggestions before the match. Reverted to the standard match plan in the 2nd half. Why do I pay this idiot.
>ever listening to your assman's suggestions
WEAK
S E E T H E
no one has a good relationship with mitch
>I think reputation is a good enough system to simulate reality
Ain't my problem: it's more that Reputation is a way bigger factor than about everything else and affects about every aspect of FM.
>I'm not sure what you mean by evolution
Evolution of the overall game world. Youth Rating is fixed, player values and wages are based on fixed values in the db, continental club and international competition reputation is fixed, so on and so forth.
It's not so much a question of "is it likely that the AFC CL will become more reputable than the Libertadores", it's a question of "if you play your card rights and play long enough, can you actually raise the level of Asian football to become a global force on par with South American football"? The former would be unrealistic; the latter should be possible instead of having a hard cap on what's possible or not because it wasn't likely in 2019. This kind of evolution should be very rare but possible throughout the decades.
nobody cares about international matches anyway.
International and country reputation has some influence on the quality of the country's youth intake. Not enough to override youth rating, but enough to create a "golden generation".
>This kind of evolution should be very rare but possible throughout the decades.
Sounds like this thread's wet dream.
Also,
>page 9
He was making sense at the time.
My dream changes. I would love if there were events like wars in the future. Just a small chance of "political instability" in every country, and after a few years, top European nations' youth intakes would be full of Australian regens fleeing the Australian civil war.
tfw club legend and captain of two promotions is out of his depth
5 wins and a draw in the last 6 and I've dragged myself on top of the table. I just wanted to sneak into the playoffs. That draw was against Beaconsfield.
>Merthyr Town
My dudes.
;)
Yes I remember this.
>he doesn't play FM12, the patrician choice
Does anyone else get players changing skin colours all the time in FM18? I got chinese guyes who have bleached their skin, white guys who go black as night, black guys going full Jacko.
Is it just because it's a pirated version?
It's so bizarre. They're still a league below me, but they have better players in every position. Some of these are Championship quality. They even have Martin Kelly from Liverpool and Palace. They have 7 internationally capped players and most of them are in their prime years with a young bench. All of these players are on amateur contracts, with no bonuses. The club is still semi-pro. They're still in their original stadium, their original facilities, and have an obscure reputation. I've poached a couple of their subs, but their starters ask for more wages than all my players combined. As stated before, they got a new chairman, but he hasn't made them professional and the players are still >doing it for free. Another strange thing is that they have one president and nine directors. I don't know what that would mean towards obtaining better players. Just the one scout. They're once again stomping their league with 1 loss, 1 draw, 30 wins and a GD of +73.
So why have all these decent players congregated in Quorn?
No. Happens to me all the time too on a legit copy. I don't know the solution. I tried reloading my skin a few times, but the same problem would re-appear after some time. Another issue I had was the player faces merging with the manager's face (pic related). For regen's faces, they fucked up big on fm18.
anyone know any good Targetmen for championship level/league one which i can get cheap or on a free?
HOLY FUCK
Your reaction?
Look to trade
Fine 2 weeks wages
Kill him through consecutive matches with no rest
finally got all the logos in my division together. just my luck I got the one with the ugliest logo but some of these handegg logos just don't translate to FM's 180x180 restriction.
Are you using a pirated copy?
Probably some mental Quorn fan as a scout.
Infinite quickness training
Nope.
how much money you got?
maybe mohsen or gigliotti. both should be under €4-5m.
/trb/ playing today /copalib/ today in the Yea Forumserbowl. /trb/ is in the winners bracket 2nd round of a double elimination.
My budget with Scunthorpe is like £200,000 homie.
lmao the state of Arsenal
shouldn't have given everyone 180k a week
>18 yo wonderkid signs 8 year contract
Fucking christ. I can wrap up the title with just a draw. At home.
>4 shots, 3 goals
>2 CCCs, both hit the bar
Fucking hell Mike. Why are you doing this?
And we sputter over the finish line! Into the Vanarama South. Good effort, Biggleswade, really appreciate your efforts (not really)
Hello /trb/, now that the dust has settled, should I get FM19? Been playing 15 for a few years, but have lost total interest in the past year or so. Is it worth while getting 19?
It's pretty good.
kek, imagine the state of this board if that really happened
Thanks, think I might get it then
>arse
>spending money
wut
They keep doing stupid shit like buying Callum Wilson for 35m and then not playing him.
Loaned out Ozil but still paid his full wage.
can you show their squad please (wages too)
They've since sold Callum Wilson to Monaco for 8m
Get in the Yea Forumserbowl thread lads
>4 of the five highest earners are rotation options or not at the club
classic ai
Enjoy the merchandising boost
Pls post when /trb/ are about to kick off as I will clearly have forgotten about it by then
I love this game
/trb/ is like 2nd last game. I'm keeping my attention on with /fpl/'s game in a half hour. Fantasy football is the kind of autism that suits /trb/.
Should I pre-order FM 2020 or wait for a holiday discount?
OOOOOH YA BEAUTY
its just fm19 with new paint
Yeah but last FM I bought was 16.
the recent training update is enjoyable with my autism but I can't say anything since 15 has been worth paying for
>Should I pre-order-
Alright lads /trb/ is ON in the Yea Forumserbowl
HYP
Can anyone upload WorkTheSpace's shortlist for FM19?
Macca out
Elite Wingerman out
VAR out
PES out
This is the most pleb thing I've ever seen somebody ask, not only are you too lazy to scout your own fucking players you also want somebody to give you a shortlist you can load into your save to prevent you having to manually search and shortlist each player.
desu I'm surprised this sort of troll hasn't been done before considering how pleb tier it is.
dilate
These were our tactics for today fmscout.com
It went a lot better after we started playing overload
Overload for 90 minutes
>WTS
imagine watching people that don't swallow their own saliva when talking. he's absolutely insufferable to listen to.
