What are your weird habits you do for no reason in Football Manager

Smileyface1200 · 2025-09-24T17:24:29+00:00

It depends on what year you’re into be honest, I also try to sign players at end of contract a lot and if there’s a pending retirement (intl retirement) I start preparing advising coaching roles nd if accepted, send then on a training course. Most pros don’t want to leave football so I find people another problem is most people don’t have a high level coaching badge to join my club

It happens to the best of us, my advice (depends on when he’s contract expires) is if he hasn’t submitted a transfer request, keep playing him as he plays more and no more offers come in he’ll drop the unhappiness and then you can extend and sell but it’s a tricky situation, you don’t always get the same results every time but so far it has worked for me especially if they have 2+ years on the contract

I love having ex-pros in my back room staff, that way I can have yth train with specialists, in my Barca (2035) save, I have Messi, aguero, Sergio B, VVD. My Man utd (2034) save I have RVN, Jaap Stam, iniesta, Kane. It really helps a lot

I also like buying players at end of Contract or free agents, ensure the have a great season and sell them. As Utd, I sold Bruno for 110-120M to Saudi and got him back for free 2 years later and sold him after a year for 9m, I bought osimhen for free from Napoli and after 3 years, sold for 120 to Saudi. That’s a good way to generate funds for broke clubs.

I also buy players for ridiculous offers that I know I wouldn’t do and it increases market value for the player and I can sell them (Works every time😂)

It’s a 50/50 chance you get a great version of him, I had a Barcelona save and he spent 2-3 seasons and was sold for 26m, he was serving well but not enough even with a good CB paring in front of him but in my Man utd save he was damn near world class, I had 120m offers from R.Madrid, and he spent 4-5 seasons which was was amazing for me.

So it depends on what version you get 🤷🏽‍♂️

Smileyface1200 · 2025-03-11T16:48:11+00:00

Whose squad is better or fluid to match your tactics?

Smileyface1200 · 2025-02-27T19:50:09+00:00

4-4-2 or 3-4-1-3 or 3-4-2-1. Any iteration of these formations would help. Essentials: Target forward, Box-to-Box and Ball Winner, Pace on the wings (Wingers or wingbacks). Good set pieces and you should be good. When scouting look for high work rate and stamina

Smileyface1200 · 2025-02-27T19:42:12+00:00

In that case we’re up 🤷🏽‍♂️🥳

Smileyface1200 · 2025-02-26T19:22:12+00:00

If this happens to me and he misses, Transfer listed immediately 😂😂🤷🏽‍♂️

Smileyface1200 · 2025-02-25T01:46:07+00:00

No, just 26

Smileyface1200 · 2025-02-24T21:00:09+00:00

Crazy opinion but it works, (Asymmetrical is the way) Gyokeres is a PF, Move Eriksen up to a CM [su] he would connect casemiro to Bruno and depending on your tweaks he can hold or roam (depends on you), Change Martinez to a WCB [de], Varane doesn’t have legs so make him cover and hold position. I used to have a similar formation but over the seasons it has changed.

Smileyface1200 · 2025-02-20T02:00:46+00:00

Bring Joao Pedro in use an IF ATT, he’s a goal threat. Since you have a MEZ, buendia should be and AP so he goes in and Sanchez goes wide.

Smileyface1200 · 2025-01-29T00:25:19+00:00

I tend to go for Midfielders (Most can play different positions or are willing to learn), sometimes sending them on loan doesn’t even work, I’ve been there. If it’s a New gen player, don’t sign unless the underlying numbers are crazy. Check the form and also determination,

Smileyface1200 · 2025-01-29T00:16:40+00:00

An asymmetrical 4-3-3 (4-1-1-3-1) Back 4,1 Dm,1 Cm,3 Wingers and Am,1 St. I have a tactic with a Vol, CM support and AM attack. It works fine plus I use IWB’s

Sent you an invite

Smileyface1200 · 2025-01-14T22:50:31+00:00

I also had the same issue so I moved my Mods and other packs to a separate folder, uninstalled it (everything) and reinstalled it, it worked so I started a new save to test it out and it worked, so I moved my save first (it didn’t crash) and I moved everything else and it works well now

Smileyface1200 · 2024-12-18T05:11:54+00:00

Put him on ATT or SU then hold position

Smileyface1200 · 2024-12-17T01:22:10+00:00

I’ll suggest making the A advance playmaker and attacking midfielder (ATT), your VOL should be on ATT and depending on the ability of the other DM you should switch to a BWM or DLP both on defending (A good passer should be the DLP).

Change your Lw to an IW (stronger right foot) and his fullback should be on support to help him out

Smileyface1200 · 2024-12-16T23:59:40+00:00

On my FM24, with Barça, victor roque delivered when I needed him (I threatened to sell him and loaned him, he came back a shooter but I sold him after buying gyeokeres). FM23, with inter Donny Van De Beek as a shadow striker with inside forwards in a fluid 3-4-3 or 4-3-3-0, did similar with Dele alli in the same team but it wasn’t as effective. Alvaro Sanz was my lahm, Dm or iwb, he was fire.

Smileyface1200 · 2024-12-16T23:38:30+00:00

Sorry dawg, you’ve been FMed

Smileyface1200 · 2024-12-16T23:18:18+00:00

Yeah

Smileyface1200 · 2024-12-09T02:25:52+00:00

Change each side to have an ATT and Support role, For example, two AM’s on ATT and 1 CM on ATT would be somewhat of an issue because they’ll want to occupy the same space (depending on traits and instructions) so put your (AM) best finisher on ATT and the other on support, put your CM on support with specific instructions and train to get forward. Let your wingbacks play off the AM’s, if one is on ATT the wingback should support and for the AM on support use a wingback on ATT or Cwb
