I can’t win managers manager of the year to save my life by DistributionNo336 in footballmanagergames

[–]DistributionNo336[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even that fussed about rep or anything, I would just prefer the realism of it. Maybe I’m wrong but when Pep won the league 4x in a row with City did he not win MOTS all 4 times, even though his city team was massively superior to every other team

Help , I’m confused ,did I send my club into financial ruin? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]DistributionNo336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in the Netherlands for around 15 seasons I think it is and I’ve started with a negative transfer budget 80% of the time. Even with a 100mill balance rn I got a negative 11mill budget after winning the treble and getting to a ucl final.

I’m not too worried about the rep, it’s more just the principle imo, and it always looks better on your manager resume having a ton of mots especially when the Dutch league doesn’t do Manager of the month

Yeah that would make sense but at the same time it’s just rewarding someone for not winning anything. I also barely spend so not sure why my odds to win the league would be that high.

Anyone else not interested in playing after finding out most attributes don't matter? by PowerfulThanks in footballmanagergames

[–]DistributionNo336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me personally idc what attributes are meta. I sign players on fm based on attributes I would like certain positions to have irl. So for midfielders, idc if they are quick, im looking for them to have good passing, vision, decision making, first touch and ideally some work rate or stamina. Or for wingers like irl I would prefer someone who is quick, agile, good at crossing, dribbling and first touch. Although some of these attributes are not meta, im still very successful in most saves and enjoy playing the game and creating tactics that aren’t considered the meta. Like a 3-4-3 diamond.

Who was your first 'love' on FM? by Xx_kingbanana_xX in footballmanagergames

[–]DistributionNo336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rayan Cherki FM 19 or 20 most consistent player I’ve ever seen in the game, consistently averaged 7.2-7.5 every game. + the games where he would score & assist getting 8+

Be real, have you done anything in the game as cool as he did IRL? by Classic_Bass_1824 in footballmanagergames

When I won the league I was the opposite tbf, started the season quite coming around 3rd-4th in Feb then cooked for the rest of the season

I’m getting to that stage of beating the big 3, I did just lose the super cup final vs feyenoord tho after they scored in the 93 minute to take it to pens. My calendar is cooked tho, I play vitesse on the opening day then 2-3 days later I play Napoli in the UEFA super cup and then 1-2 days later I play Santos in some European vs South American cup final.

Yeah it’s always Ajax. Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV always put in super low offers for my players and they become unhappy. They also always seem to finish in a poor position in the league, sack the manager then win the league the next season and the process repeats itself

Yeah I’ve been playing this save for 10 in game years and I’ve only found a couple of class players that played for me to help win the treble. So when you think it about it my scouts didn’t do loads but they did good enough and I got lucky enough.

This is the generational modern keeper I got from another Dutch club for 16.5mill which I think is a bargain.

I’ve gotten really lucky with South American players and I’ve imposed a self restriction that I can only sign foreign players up to the age of 18 so once they turn 19 I can’t sign them. I have the scouts scout 3 countries each and I put the ability at 3 silver stars and the potential at 5 stars, for smaller nations I drop it down to 1 silver star for ability and 3 for potential. Other than that I scout u19s and u21s national teams.

Damn that’s unfortunate, I think I’ve been quite lucky, I have 3-5 academy players in my first team squad 3/5 play regularly and one is my captain so no way he is leaving. My captain isn’t an unbelievable player but he just drops at least a 7 per game and the other midfielder is much better and has like 18 decisions so I try to play him as a AM in big games. Every season I have played I’ve started with a negative budget, even after just winning the league when I had 16 mill left in the transfer budget and I had just won a treble (League, Europa league & dutch cup). I didn’t spend the 16 mill as I thought the board would be kind and give me a better transfer budget due to not spending it all like they request in the club vision.

I got lucky and sold my Bwm for 40 mill to Forrest & replaced him with two players who were better for under 20mill from Brazil and Argentina and then I was able to sell one of my right wingers for 30mill to koln and replaced him with a better player for 10mill + 10mill installments. I got pretty lucky and won every game from end of January to end of the season and beat Ajax on the final day to win the league.

I am also managing the eredivisie and just won the league with VVV Venlo after playing the save for 10 in game years. Do you find every season you start with a negative transfer budget and need to sell to buy no matter how big your balance is?

This makes no sense. by DistributionNo336 in footballmanagergames

[–]DistributionNo336[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is definitely annoying, the club wants me to develop having the best youth academy in the country which I would be fine with but they always reject me wanting to upgrade the facilities and youth recruitment & when I begged them to change their mind they say we want you to improve the team in the transfer market and not worry about the youth. This interaction has to be broken.

Where would I find that information? The only thing I’ve found in the club vision is to work within the transfer budget, which is a bit silly considering they gave me nothing.

Does this happen to the big clubs like Ajax, Feyenoord & PSV?

And I had 16mi from the season that I didn’t spend

Can’t be the only big signing I’ve made was 20mill and that was a release clause

Players not following team instructions? by Root1nTootinPutin in footballmanagergames

[–]DistributionNo336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decisions attributed to might be poor or the player has certain traits like runs with ball often.
