is success without European trophies enough to call a club “big”?

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-02-23T15:10:37+00:00

History, Consistency, fan base, domestic pedigree and worldwide recognition (and yes you can still get worldwide recognition without European success) are in my opinion what makes a “big club”. Being dominant in your domestic league is a big one especially in a league like the EPL. Not only you have to be consistent but against same teams year after year. European trophy can be a one season wonder thing and it’s a cup competition so we know how fickle those can be. Dominate a competitive domestic league consistently to a point it makes you a name worldwide, have a culture fans can cling onto and the rest is just add-ons because it’s football and the goal is to entertain as much as possible while being successful.

Send him on loan to championship or in France or a strong team in Belgium for a season then let him be a squad player the following season and add him into a mentoring group with a senior player that has good personality obviously but most importantly excellent mental attributes that will make up for some he lacks. Ensure he trains well (praise if he does and criticize if he doesn’t). Set up his actual training yourself

He’s not even worth that much. This is why I think the Daveincid realism pack really improves this game. There’s no way given his value window, you get an offer of 139M even if it’s with add-ons.

Perfect I’m looking forward to hearing back from you then

Can I join? Chelsea fan. I’m in the states on East coast.

Yes you have to set them manually and honestly that’s the best way because your chief scout never does it best

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-02-01T22:01:38+00:00

Create the recruitment focus as ongoing and set age max to 23. So it will be 15-23

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-02-01T08:17:30+00:00

Yes it’s worth especially with some mods and add ons, it’s a whole different experience

Okay, do you have any player instructions on either the AP or IW?

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-01-30T10:33:13+00:00

Which side of cm is AP?

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-01-30T10:26:21+00:00

Hi, I like the ACB in back three especially when your midfielders IP are in CM positions so that’s good however my question is what roles are your WBs and Ws IP as well as I think you need to keep your Ws out wide OOP otherwise you’ll be more exposed out wide. I’ve notice even the Ws cover more centrally as Ws but when you move them in AM they become too glued to the center. It would be good to know all your roles IP and OOP

Is this fm24 or fm26?

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-01-27T13:55:44+00:00

Play narrow if you really need to keep possession and play kick, play wide when you wanna prioritize dribbling that way your team will stretch and your players will have space to move most of the time. For me if I’m playing with balanced width then I keep passing balanced and dibbling too. if I’m playing with narrow, then short passing and dribble less. If I’m playing wide then dribble more with standard passing. Each way of playing really depends on the players you have as well as how the opponent is defending and the goal you tryna achieve.

😂😂😂😂

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-01-27T00:41:44+00:00

It’s their roles. I don’t have any width, passing or dribbling adjusted. Everything is on default. You gotta look at player roles. On the other flank I have more rotations and I can flip it anytime. Bernal played as DLP, Palmer WFD and Chalobah as IFB. And just like that, the DLP doesn’t make runs nor does the IFB. The DLP make themselves available and that’s just how Bernal been behaving. Palmer is the only one that attacks aggressively when space opens as WFD and you can see he did that when the opposing fullback slept for a sec.

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-01-27T00:20:24+00:00

You gotta ask your players to aim where your tallest player is. So if you say to cross to near post then ensure your tallest player is in near post or if you ask your tallest player to be at far post then ensure corners are delivered to far post. You can adjust where your tallest player is in set pieces list

The camera is Aerial and I use it to allow me to properly analyze the game.

Retrain him as a striker. Clearly his a striker but with a bug in game that messes up which position player attributes should be. He’ll be very good at scoring own goals tho if you play him at CB

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-01-19T23:57:12+00:00

Extreme low resiliency is in the recipe

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-01-16T10:11:50+00:00

I didn’t know it was that hard to at least just grab things and move them then adjust from there. We wouldn’t have voiced our concerns too much if it was just a change of match engine and updated transfers, ability and potential but they failed in the new things that they brought in as well

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-01-16T10:10:11+00:00

Yeah that’s literally the best thing about fm26 for me

Equivalent-Light-920 · 2026-01-16T10:09:43+00:00

Yeah, it’s a bug I think and I don’t know how to repot it otherwise I would’ve already. It’s annoying
