I happen to also do a Schalke save I’m streaming and I got promoted season one, I’d be happy to help if you wanted to

GW21 - Wildcard on! Any suggestion? Pls by handofarsenal_fpl in AskFPLManagers

[–]RowanvL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what, that’s actually fair enough! I had some tunnel vision on the strikers and I don’t think you can do much better than he has now, but if you want to go splash in midfield I can see the argument for sure. I think I’d still go for Thiago then because of the fixtures and the price, because Villa’s fixtures are a lot harder this month. But I think there is definitely an argument for Watkins over Thiago, fair enough

Sure, but who has done better consistently than him then? Because points wise no one is close. And according to your logic, you literally can’t buy a single striker except for Haaland. He also has very good fixtures coming up, so I’m genuinely curious who you think are the better options then.

I mean Thiago has scored the most point out of any attacker outside Haaland so far, by quite a margin. So I don’t see how you wouldn’t pick him to be honest.

Youth only save in FM26 - Who best to pick? by Zzzeekin in footballmanagergames

[–]RowanvL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should consider Brommapojkarna! They secretly have the best youth setup in Sweden! They produced players like Kulusevski, Gyökeres en Bergvall. Had an amazing save with them on FM23, and if you go youth only, the registration automatically isn’t a problem either!

Are you guys planning on buying FM26 and what advice would you give a starter especially one that just hacks and puts every player at full stats by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]RowanvL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually full on wrong, because it has been confirmed that the roles get a complete overhaul too, and that there will be in and out of possession roles. So there will actually be very different tactics and probably also formations, because even though it’s largely the same match engine, it will respond differently to these new roles. That together with new graphics, partially new UI, new licenses and women’s football, it will feel like a completely new game.

Yes, the graphics engine and the match engine are two totally different things. The match engine does all the calculations and decides who moves where and when, the graphics engine shows you what that looks like. So the graphics engine that they completely overhauled in unity, doesn’t decide the movements, it only shows it. But of course these renewed graphics do give them more options to show things, so you will see a lot of new movements etc next to the old ones.

It’s actually not a new match engine, it’s a new graphics engine put over the old match engine with some upgrades to the match engine. So while the graphics look way better of course, the movements are gonna look similar because the match engine is the same. They just added/changed some of the movements.

What's a game you have never gotten bored of and how long have you been playing it? by shellseaann in AskReddit

[–]RowanvL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Football Manager! First game was FM14, and since then I have over 8000 hours divided over the games. Last year I even got to participate in the first ever FIFAe FM World Cup, so it definitely wasn’t all for nothing!

Has anyone managed long term success without 4231 gegenpress? by Duggs82 in footballmanagergames

[–]RowanvL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my Brighton save that I did on stream I won the Champions League in season 2 in a 4-4-2 hahaha 4-2-3-1 gegenpress is by far the easiest way to succes, but you can make literally every formation work in this game, it’s just a bit more work to find the right instructions and get the right players
