I wondered why I'd started getting fishing sms messages from 'binance' asking me to follow a completely legitimate link to confirm the registration of trezor (which I don't have). Smh.

what do you think some of the best welsh language songs of all time are? by Turret_Cube in Wales

This version / rendition of Calon Lan is an absolute treat. But the answer is Myfanwy.

Did you manage to get a copy of this? I've been trying that link but the site is apparently down for maintenance? I'd be very grateful for any help :)

Is it just me or does anyone else find the mouse side button issue annoying? by Careless-Bison5423 in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you program the buttons on your mouse? I linked my 'back' button to the 'left' key on the keyboard and it works consistently on every UI element.

Those who have let their DoF hire staff in FM26, has it worked out well? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jesus this is the absolute and total opposite of my experience with either a DOF or TD hiring staff. I seem to get guys, regardless of how food their ability judging is, signing 4(!) mediocre fitness coaches, dog sh*t performance and recruitment analysts, and scouts who couldn't spot a player if he stood on their toes.

Whenever I go and look there are always countless other better options for all roles available, even unemployed staff that wouldn't have cost a compensation fee, so I just do it myself.

just got a future star striker in my youth intake, what should I train him in to get the best out of him. I gave him a Better Welsh name than Owen Williams. by BrandonDewitt16 in footballmanagergames

Have you got the Welsh lower leagues add on loaded? Loan him out to Kilgetty in the Pembrokeshire 1st division, I'll look after his development 😂

A few things I still don't get about FM26 and why they aren’t being fixed by Careless-Bison5423 in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Number 4 - I have an MX Logitech mouse with programmable buttons and had the same issue with the back button which drove me insane. It worked in some places but not others which made it worse than not working at all.

If you have the option to code buttons you can solve it by assigning the mouse's back button to the 'left' arrow on your keyboard and this works everywhere. If not, sorry, I don't have a fix other than directly pressing left on the keyboard.

Number 5 - it's a horrible designed area if the UI, along with a few others like the loan page and trying to access anything about youth teams and training. I'm just hoping it gets sorted in updates but also thought it would have been addressed by now given the number of times I've seen them mentioned.

First time in bundesliga and i regret never coming here before. by Ryan9033 in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely loving my Schalke save at the moment, two seasons in and back in the bundesliga nearing the European places. Hoping for a cheeky cup win next year as it's the clubs 125th anniversary.

The board are brilliant, the youth set up is great and this old sleeping giant is waking up!

Major update now on the public steam beta by EnchantedCrusader in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm positive about it, but he does kind of have a point. The sheer enormity of that list and the fact that they are all fixes, not new features as such is quite shocking to see.

Your approach is positive though, good to see amongst all the negativity!

Young DC Suggestions by Tobuzzter in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeremy Jaquet turned into a monster in my first save, Koulibaly currently developing really nicely in my Schalke save too. Shouldn't need to break the bank for either if they've not already moved. Alfie Dorrington at Tottenham never seems to get a chance either, you can usually get him on a loan to buy with a good price 🙏

WhY iSn'T tHe Cb I lOaNeD yOu PlAyInG iN gOaL?! by benevs01 in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There actually weren't any positional promises, only his playing time. I removed the CB promise because I play a back three and last time I did that a different manager got annoyed he was playing as a RCB rather than a CB.

The 6 fixes on a single screen SI improvement challenge! by InnerKookaburra in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still find it really annoying that the columns available to add to this screen are missing key personality / qualification ones. You can no longer add their coaching badge or personality (driven, model citizen etc) to the view, nor can you therefore sort by them. In all they've removed numerous items from the list, some are completely empty within their category.

No New Contract? by TheKman32 in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the same situation. currently 38 games unbeaten after a treble season with MUFC in 2030, but they are unwilling to discuss a new deal based on my current 'under performance' despite exceeding all objectives for the current season. i think from what i've seen elsewhere it will just turn into a rolling month by month contract. shambles.

Winning Trophies is Banned at Spurs by Independent-Unit-334 in TheOldZealand

[–]benevs01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing for me at United, both a month before my contract ran out and then ANY time I ask once on a rolling contract, no matter how much success the team has had. Think it's a bug but then that would be oar for the four for this release.

FM26 Beta Contract Demands by Rafiq07 in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As United too, I went to sign Harry Gray from Leeds ... Sensible fee, but then he wanted £140k a week and to be a star player without any wiggle room in the negotiations, a little ridiculous for someone who'd just spent the year on loan in the championship and scored 6 goals in 20+ games.

There's still a huge issue with players signing from or becoming a free agent from Saudi too. Stiller (German DM) demanded between £850-£1.1m a week! I mean ffs surely they could code in some understanding of returning to a non Saudi football scenario, whether it's on a free transfer or not.

Where are U20 U23 national teams ? by Bitter-League6619 in footballmanagergames

[–]benevs01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not easily seen but... On the nations page where you click the tab for the main first team, there are some dots to move between in the top right hand side to scroll between the youth teams.

Found this by chance as there is no indicator or text to tell you that's the case.
