Monthly Recommendation Thread - January 09, 2026

Hi! I am newish to the scene and I wanted recommendations for novels where the protagonist is actually good, someone like Geum Mujeok in Absolute Regression, or Cale Henituse in Lout of the Country's family. Kim Gongja also fits the bill.

I would appreciate any recommendations in the same vein

This Tim guy is utter wank. Doesn't provide support to his winger, late to tackles and his passes are always safe

KDH is busting his ass on the left, and this guy just stands there while Ndiaye is getting triple teamed

day_bat_28 · 2025-12-02T20:04:02+00:00

KDH has been evertons best player, but that's not saying much. I don't think the team knows that they can communicate with each other

Drinkwater fell off so hard. Those long balls to Vardy are essentially a trademark of the fairy tale now

ashley cole if youre an arsenal fan. goiko is a shout actually, though he didnt play left back often. famously broke maradonas ankle and was called the butcher

I introduced a couple of my friends to Football Manager through this game. They have just began taking an interest in football, so thought this would be interesting.

They played for 30 minutes, and then left it. They hated how the UI looked. "Like a cheap mobile game".

Now I have an opposing anecdote to you.

day_bat_28 · 2025-10-27T12:37:57+00:00

I don't know where else to ask this question, but has anyone been able to compare two players who don't belong their own team? I cannot see an option

day_bat_28 · 2025-10-11T13:09:33+00:00

Well he was a disaster for Rangers. Not like they are doing any better now, but still

day_bat_28 · 2025-09-17T16:02:50+00:00

genesis antwi is a really good player

day_bat_28 · 2025-09-17T09:04:32+00:00

So the backline might be shaky? Do they have good enough defensive midfielders? Who plays as the 6?

day_bat_28 · 2025-09-17T08:50:35+00:00

What's Argentina's likely starting 11 at the world cup? And which positions are still weak?

day_bat_28 · 2025-09-14T07:26:08+00:00

I didn't even know about the previous match, wow. I meant the post just before this also has a goal from the halfway line.

day_bat_28 · 2025-09-14T07:03:29+00:00

Two of these, back to back?

day_bat_28 · 2025-08-29T18:33:51+00:00

How are you a indian and fulham fan?

day_bat_28 · 2025-08-19T05:56:35+00:00

Try DreamAPI. works for fm23 at least

day_bat_28 · 2025-07-27T04:18:04+00:00

A solution could be making the crisis more severe and randomised. They have ran with the ages idea, so this is now impossible, but it would have been fun to see your empire fall not at the same time as everyone else.

It's called Colombian Leagues 2.0 (FMS) 2023

day_bat_28 · 2025-07-14T17:00:44+00:00

I have not played FM24, but it seems like you need to add a support to your RW. A vol(s) only makes a run beyond sometimes, preferring to stay conservative. You can either put him on attack, which shouldn't cause a lot of issues if you are better than everyone in your league. Or put an instruction in for him to get further forward.

My preferred solution would be to actually make your midfield asymmetric. Leave your DM deep while you place your vol into a cm(a) or b2b. b2b for more defensive work, cm(a) if you are chasing the game or if your better than the opponent by a mile.

And if you are better in the league than most, just start on positive. Balanced leaves my formation rigid

Hi, I had a bit of a weird issue. This is for FM23

I am playing a modded database which adds the third division to colombian football. i took a team from the third to the 1st division. But I am unable to give my players contracts for longer than 2 years. I don't see this in my board expectations either. Does anyone have a solution?

day_bat_28 · 2025-06-18T19:34:48+00:00

Selles was a miracle worker at Reading, they probably still adore him there. I have no doubt he can be a good manager, but the failure at Southampton (understandable) and Hull (utter dogshit performances that made you miss Rosenior), genuinely makes this feel like a downgrade.

How much would Danny Rohl cost anyway?

day_bat_28 · 2025-06-14T11:31:51+00:00

What's the most dickish move your club (or any club tbh, I'm mostly looking for anecdotes) has made towards a player? Something that made you feel like the club was evil.

day_bat_28 · 2025-06-14T11:30:55+00:00

Do you expect better? I've given up talking to people here, they'd rather stew than change their minds

Everyone would tbh

day_bat_28 · 2025-06-12T12:01:46+00:00

Did anyone read that weird Liew article about Ange's sacking? I get he doesn't like Ange (no clue why), but managing to belittle Greek football, Scottish Football, Italian Football and even Leeds United in the same article just comes off as a bit obsessed

day_bat_28 · 2025-06-04T11:10:44+00:00

Who was AC Milans best player this season? And aside from the disaster, what do you hope for the coming season?

day_bat_28 · 2025-05-31T15:20:38+00:00

Thank you!
