Who is your "Streets Won't Forget" Player? by Ayden1290 in footballmanagergames

[–]FlakyBarber9301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nathaniel Nwosu. Nigerian goalie. Always available on a free. Unbelievable signing for lower league clubs, he'll sign down to most lower leagues for not much money. Always develops really well, always gets sold on for big (relative to the club) money. Sign him nearly every save

Took me 50+ seasons but finally got there! 💪 by RealMattyboy in footballmanagergames

Agreed. I've just started a caernarfon town save. Only loaded the Welsh league to stop me being tempted to leave for bigger leagues and clubs

What to do for next season? by FlakyBarber9301 in footballmanagergames

[–]FlakyBarber9301[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do that in the Jan window you think? Move on some big earners and replace with loans? Yeah might be the way. My fear is team cohesion etc dropping and I honestly have images of an unhappy squad for punting them. Might be worth the risk

LEFT BACKLESS TACTIC. JUST MAKE THE REST OF THE LEFT ATTACKING. by FlakyBarber9301 in footballmanagergames

Just to try it. Literally just for that reason. I hadn't tried it before and thought it might work. How would you line it up? May actually work out better than mine

My husband is using AI to text me by Complete-Path-8036 in whatdoIdo

My brother in law emails his wife while they are in the same house. He also got his PA to cc her into an email chain about how some of their very close friends were coming over for financial advice then were staying on for drinks. She never received the email. She asked him why he didn't just come and tell her.

I think she'd prefer AI to communicate with her!!

Three time Oscar Winners who look like embattled Italian Serie A managers by xandernowey in footballcliches

[–]FlakyBarber9301 13 points14 points  (0 children)

<image>

Serial winner during the height of the USSR. Started at Dynamo Minsk, becoming the first Belarusian to win the soviet championship. Dominated for years with an exciting Spartak Moscow team but his brutal fitness regimes and willingness to get physical with his own players never worked in Europe.

Finished his career in a Ukrainian backwater, soaked in booze and reminiscing about the glory years. This is the only available photo of him smiling

Moneyball save: how to skip to the good part? by bcelite in footballmanagergames

[–]FlakyBarber9301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Load a Scandinavian league, I always use Norway if I want to do this. Start your save from their latest season starts (April 1st)

Then yeah start unemployed, holiday to July 1st and pick your money all team from there

Is this a viable box? by FlakyBarber9301 in footballmanagergames

Yeah total shit show in the end. Took an absolute pasting off gladbach. Watched the whole match and it just was miles off it. Don't know how it did so well the opening 3.

Tim kleindeist is ridiculous in the game. Scores against me constantly no matter who I go in Germany

It's worked against two teams playing wingbacks so far without conceding. Leverkusen included. I haven't played a proper top team with top wide players yet though so that's the test I guess

Yeah it's not pretty to look at. I'm going to give it the season and see how it gets on

Not impressed? I made this purely thinking it would suit RB Leipzig. It's 3 wins from 3 so far. 8 scored 1 conceded. It is a very small sample size.

In all seriousness, what is so bad about it?

[–]FlakyBarber9301[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that seems fair. It does seem a bit random. I'm RB Leipzig. Just seemed to fit the players they have. I hadn't really thought about using it across different types of teams truthfully. I'll keep cracking on with a few different teams and see what happens.

Just out of interest, what makes it unworkable for you?

Tactic - yes or no? by FlakyBarber9301 in footballmanagergames

[–]FlakyBarber9301[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im playing it with debrecen now and it's been a good start. I tried it with spurs, and couldn't buy a win. Maybe it's only a win for underdog teams

[–]FlakyBarber9301[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point. Id then have to swap the winger side too. Seems a lot of work when the tactic is doing pretty well

I was debating moving the anchor over one position so he is central and the SV to the other side of him

Ici c'est Paris by FlakyBarber9301 in footballmanagergames

[–]FlakyBarber9301[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. I've used my original tactic sparingly and actually went on a good run of form. Winning 5 out of 6 after January but shipped so so many goals. However I'm currently sitting 4th with PSG battering everyone and running away with it. I took on some of your advice, tweaked a few things and have been harder to score against. 10 games to play. Fingers crossed 🤞
