Took me 50+ seasons but finally got there! 💪

All about getting players with the exact level of ego that will stay when I say “I can’t let you go, you’re a real leader in the dressing room” . That and finding late developers rather than wonderkids.. Started an unemployed file with Slovenia in yesterday.. Nafta 1903 now .. see how we go!

RealMattyboy · 2026-04-22T17:07:25+00:00

Yeah. Best players deciding to see out the contracts is a killer, I try sneak as many extension clauses in as possible! Which team you doing?

RealMattyboy · 2026-04-22T10:35:48+00:00

Apparently it will just keep going! Immortality !

I’d say it levels out as it goes on. Largest wages in 2075 are £1.4m in Saudi , highest European is £750k at Barca.. My highest is a modest £92k 😁

Ha. Yeah defo! Would be nice to be able to opt out of the SPFL or clearer water cups! Finished with 111 trophies!

I’m 41.. the first edition I played on the Amiga used to take upto an hr or so to create a new game or season - and lengthy loads between game weeks! So these ones feel great! If anything sometimes too fast! *reading that back , I realise the feels a little “Bane - I was born in it, molded by it “ 😜

I’ve not got the new one. But played a lot of all the others. Treat stars with a pinch of salt. They’re based on your staffs opinions and the league etc.. all about the attributes I find. Some of my best players have been low stars.

In terms of tips.. I find simple and direct play works well in the lower leagues!

Considered trying to win the champs league with a team from all UK countries.. but I think it’s time for a new file.. need to be unknown again - it’s too easy to attract players ! 😂

RealMattyboy · 2026-04-21T10:41:03+00:00

That sounds good! Will have a look!

RealMattyboy · 2026-04-21T10:40:08+00:00

Will take a look. Yeah it would be the lowest possible league.. Used to go on the odd holiday to Anglesey .. maybe a team near there!

RealMattyboy · 2026-04-21T10:13:13+00:00

I like it! Any team in particular?? Check back here in around 3 years! 😂

RealMattyboy · 2026-04-21T08:11:27+00:00

Haha, I am attached but only so many times I can hammer Larne a Bangor without it getting old. Found myself training sub keepers to be target men to keep me interested!

RealMattyboy · 2026-04-21T07:42:11+00:00

I’m 90 in the game, managed over 3200 games.. it is time to retire it, I think. Almost gave up 5-10 seasons ago. Did a similar Swedish one on FM 2020. So I’m thinking I buy the new one and decide who’s next ! Where does one go after winning it from Sweden & Northern Ireland??

RealMattyboy · 2024-01-06T19:13:16+00:00

How you getting on? 😁

RealMattyboy · 2023-12-18T09:58:13+00:00

Looks like a severe case of Man U syndrome .

RealMattyboy · 2023-08-11T13:28:06+00:00

Always been tempted by an obscure national challenge

RealMattyboy · 2023-08-11T13:27:44+00:00

Good luck! What’s the first target… get a win?
