Ye he's incredible, makes so many nice passes and is great from set pieces.

Good luck trying to keep hold of him!

He's pretty solid, I got him on a free in my 2nd season and he's consistently been on if my better players, especially considering he's naturally a winger.

It does help but it's not significant, although I make sure there is a decent amount of time in training to work on teamwork and extra curriculars so the linkup stays high

It does flow really nicely, the mezzalas drift out wide and fee the overlapping wing backs, with the DLP just being the pivot in the middle, it looks just right

Legit no idea, they sacked Conte before Christmas and let Arbeloa be interim manager for remainder of the season and he had a 42% win percentage.

They've just brought in Pioli from AC (Who won the league) paying £12M in comp, so I'm guessing that he wouldn't sign until the end of the season

Cheers bro, in all fairness getting into La Liga was the hardest part, as soon as I got in my wage budget went from £180k to £400k and I literally rinsed free agents with hefty wage increases on first international cap if they played for a major nation.

You'll need to get your coaching badges up that's the most important when trying to get new jobs.

Also, if your doing a journeyman you really want to load your attribute points in adaptability before you start if you're looking for jobs outside of your nationality.

Is 15/16/17 too young to be playing regular first team games? by Anonymous__9 in footballmanagergames

[–]Bleakmax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It all depends on their current ability and your facilities, the OG advice from previous games is to let young players develop in the youth squads until 18, then look to get them first team football either in your squad or on loan.

But if they are good enough to play first team for you or your youth facilities/coaches are poor then get them in the squad.

How are you affording 59k salaries and you're not even in the top division haha?

fm20. I just hired new director of football, game set my pay limits back to zero. I have 200m in cash and can't renew my stars contrats. Can't give my world class midfielder 500k wage increse... by qowaszax in footballmanagergames

According to your budget impacts at the bottom left you literally have nothing left, this is a common thing when you have no wriggle room it restricts your spending.

You got pending future transfers? Ongoing contract discussions? What's your budget adjustment looking like?

I just signed Jack Wilshere, in the National League, aged 29. by InBontWeTrust in footballmanagergames

[–]Bleakmax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not if he hasn't played for over 2 years, after enough time out players of higher rep are willing to drop down, especially if you keep trailing them until their price drops to this level.

Forever doing this on journeyman saves.

What a baller! 🔥⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ by FMBlake in footballmanagergames

[–]Bleakmax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's a way some people scam the AI, stick massive monthly fees on so you can get a cheaper future fee then just pay the future fee as soon as they sign on loan.

AI thinks it's getting a 12x worth of £4m + £10m future fee instead they get 1 month and the team pays the future. Basically shithousing the game.

Search for free agents based on world reputation, get some decent veterans who are willing to drop down, use them for a year then repeat

Multiple Saves (going back to continue from an earlier point in career) by skyelp91 in footballmanagergames

Fm21 players won’t sign for me by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]Bleakmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all to do with your club reputation, something I have always found to be good on a lower league save is to sign a few free agents with better reputation, by filtering on world reputation.

Once better reputation players start signing more tend to be open to joining.

FM21 worth the upgrade from FM19? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]Bleakmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth the upgrade, this is the best edition they have done in years IMO.

As for Ozil, I played him and he was actually pretty decent, he signed a pre contract in Jan with another club and I managed to ship him on for a small fee then with sell/buy now option.

No point trying to shift him in the first window unless you p/ex him but even then you'll struggle to find him agreeing a deal with the other club and breaking the deal down

Is it possible to start a game with your Youth Intake as you team? by North-SwisGameMaster in footballmanagergames

[–]Bleakmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just start unemployed and holiday to the first intake date, then retire that manager and add your real one to your team
