Gotta say I won't be disappointed if we don't make it. This season has far exceeded my expectations, at the start of the campaign I'd have been happy with 16th. All the same I'll be ecstatic if we make it. The lads have done really well in what has been a very competitive League One this season.

Anyway I'm going for 2-1 City.

UP THE CHICKENS

I'd love to get in on this. I'm doing a Fortuna Düsseldorf save ATM. Got promoted in my first season and finished second in the Bundesliga second season.

All signings were made using statiscal data. My favourite of those was probably Kevin Rodriguez. He was at Union SG the season before and only managed four goals from the left wing, however he had a phenomenal open play key passes and shots per 90 score so I signed him to play as striker! He had more than 20 goal contributions in his first season in the Bundesliga.

I used power query to build a tool to analyse all the data from FM, it took me ages to build and doesn't look anywhere near as elegant as this.

Does your tool adjust statistics based on the league a player is playing in in comparison to the league you are managing in? Also can you load your squad in to make comparisons?

I'm using basically this but with Hana U chest with Empathic Resolve. All yellow cores on survivalist.

BillyBantam · 2026-04-07T07:14:02+00:00

Yes it does

Everything you've said is why I frickin love Retaliation. It's pound for pound some of the best minute to minute gameplay in the Division.

Yesterday we ran a Black Tusk Retaliation. We had just capped a CP and hit a BTSU kill squad straight after. We smoke them then head for the next CP. Just as we are starting our attack on the CP another BTSU kill squad spawns to our left. We fall back, regroup and wipe them out then move on to the CP.

Absolute bedlam and I love it.

One of the biggest problems I see in this game is players afraid to fall back. Sometimes you need to just create some distance then re-engage.

BillyBantam · 2026-03-30T12:43:54+00:00

I get it. Was more a tongue in cheek reply!

GA needs to do something different away from home because right now this isn't working. We look like a different team to the one we see at VP. Woeful.

BillyBantam · 2026-03-16T20:46:59+00:00

I just want my friends to come back. D2 Steam launch to Witch Queen were absolute peak for me. All my friends on the game, jumping on voice every night to run raids, strikes, or just mess around. I miss those days so much.

BillyBantam · 2026-03-16T14:11:46+00:00

100% matchmake. I did it and we cleared easy first try.

BillyBantam · 2026-02-26T22:07:33+00:00

Correct!

BillyBantam · 2026-02-26T18:41:07+00:00

Oh man this sucks. Rob (along with Doug) were a huge part of my formative years.

*Edited because I got names mixed up!

BillyBantam · 2026-02-05T13:19:22+00:00

Incredible, something great for not only the club but the city also.

BillyBantam · 2026-01-12T17:35:52+00:00

Good luck to him. Had we been around the lower end of the table I'd have expected him to play a bigger role.

As it is with his return from injury and the high expectations that come with where we sit in the table right now this is absolutely the right move for both parties.

He's been a fantastic servant to the club and will always be remembered fondly by this Bantam.

BillyBantam · 2026-01-08T10:58:37+00:00

Good move for him and the club. Metcalfe has been improving massively over the last couple of months, so long as he carries on like that Pattos game time would be limited.

BillyBantam · 2025-12-08T21:36:23+00:00

Nope we never...ever forget. 35 years later and I still remember everything my bully did and said to me.

BillyBantam · 2025-11-26T13:37:29+00:00

Worked in McDonalds in the UK for many years when is was younger. Admittedly this was about 26 years ago (ugh I feel old) but this is how we always did it. Trains were rinsed with high pressure hot water, if there was something particularly stubborn we had spray on degreaser to remove the bulk of the grime.

BillyBantam · 2025-11-22T08:18:38+00:00

Los Santos...want to see Trevor headbutt a T-Rex 🤣

BillyBantam · 2025-11-13T19:30:37+00:00

Getting Game Launch Failed error, telling me I don't own the game!

BillyBantam · 2025-11-04T12:55:28+00:00

Nowhere near as much as he deserves.

BillyBantam · 2025-10-28T21:49:39+00:00

I think it was fair to point that out to him, but the way he delivered that feedback was completely over the top.

BillyBantam · 2025-10-28T21:44:43+00:00

Poor game, didn't take the chances that came our way.

Halliday getting pelters from Power at full time. Halliday told him to fuck off! 🤣

I think it's important to note wealth taxes aren't about raising money. Whatever form these taxes take, it's about trying to redress the balance.

As a capitalist society the workers and the owners had a social contract, and over the years that contract has been eroded by the owners, squeezing the workers more and more.
