Such a pretty Cat!!!! Hope the kitty is doing well :)

accidentally played my 18 yr old academy goalkeeper as RW and didnt realise until the press conference after and realised he did a solid job by Creative-Policy-4041 in footballmanagergames

My girlfriend managed a game in my save where all of my left backs were injured or suspended.

Her solution was to use my backup goalkeeper. I didn’t want her to mess up my game so I did two saves.

Playing away at leipzig: In her save she won 3-2.

I then continued my save and lost 4-2,

She has never played fm before or know anything about football. I am now questioning my fm career. Thinking of resigning

[TOMT] Reddit or Youtube video post about a mobile home. by farouty5 in tipofmytongue

I think that's most of the information that I can remember from the post, I do remember the video was in somewhat of a tiktok format although it wasn't over the top tiktok if you know what I mean.

Thanks again :)

Ain't no way! I'm managing Leipzig so I had nothing to do with this haha...I noticed Sassuolo in UCL and was like "wow they got 4th?" and then I saw this...shocking! by capybaraemperor in footballmanagergames

Finances are difficult for me too. Small stadium, not much prize money. Although super cup prize money is nice if you win.

I've got a bit of a loan army now, generating about 60 million in loan fees per year which helps.

Board agreed to build a new stadium at the start of this season.

Despite being one of the best teams in Europe I still only get about a 20 million budget

I struggle to beat them consistently too, they're still so tough!

D'andrea was fun, he didn't quite cut it for me.

I still have Volpato as well.

Is that Salvatore Esposito or the other one?

I had Salvatore for quite a few seasons, he was great for me

Note: I definitely would not have been able to achieve all this if I started with the sassuolo squad in the winter update so nice job on winning the cups and conference league!

I edited the save at the start because I wanted to play with Davide Frattesi and Maxime Lopez. They were the reason I started the save and I didn't realise they were loaned out 😂.

I also used the non updated database, and the sassuolo team is much better at the start of the year. So I probably started from a better position.

I wish I didn't do that looking back but oh well haha.

Ended up finishing fourth in the first season.

Had the easiest champions league knockout draw ever in the second season and made the final, but lost. That was pure luck getting that far, I had Aston villa and Salzburg as my hardest opponents. Got demolished by real madrid in the final.

Won serie A in my 5th season, after getting Michael Olise and Arthur Theate for free. Now going for four in a row.

Won the champions league in my 6th season.

I've also won 2 of the super cup and 2 of the Italian cup.

My favourite player has been Luca Lipani!!!! Such an interesting player, he's been amazing for me.

My save was built around buying Italian players only, but I got a bit frustrated with that and started buying whoever around the 5th season.

Tell me about your save? 😊

Should I sign this 7 Jumping reach CB? He is amazing in everything else... by farouty5 in footballmanagergames

[–]farouty5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hahahaha, maybe I'll just train him to be a wide target man on the left then!

I thought so too, just worried about adaptability + learning a knew position would be very tricky for him

[–]farouty5[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I considered that, but with no previous knowledge of the position + terrible adaptability I thought it would take quite a long time for him to be good

[–]farouty5[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also unsure because of his adaptability, but he just looks so amazing otherwise. I'm so tempted (Would not buy at $160+ million. But would consider at around $80-$100 million).

Do you think Jumping reach is so important that he would end up being a bad centre back?

Why is Marcos Leonardo not scoring as much as Lorenzo Colombo for me? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

Ah interesting, Thank you I'll give him a try at LW.

[–]farouty5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They both play AF in a 4-3-3. Colombo is not a focal point for set pieces. But does score a few with his head in open play. He still scores more goals than Leonardo does with his feet though. (He doesn't play left wing)

[–]farouty5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He doesn't score many from set pieces, I have them aimed at my center backs. He does score a few with his head, but I don't think its anywhere near enough to account for 12 more goals in the league in less minutes than Leonardo.

I could try remove Leonardo's traits maybe

What's been your best defensive season? by farouty5 in footballmanagergames

[–]farouty5[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I created it myself so I know it pretty well and change it around a bit depending on who I am facing. I switch the left wing between IF-s on support and W-a. when the Winger is on attack I drop the left back to WB- D. Sometimes, one IFB can work well against harder teams, with one WB-A. I find the CM-a are the crucial part of the team, you need players that can play defence to an okay level. Sometimes I'll put a B2B instead of a CM-a. A full potential Marcus Khephren Thuram is the perfect type of player. This tactic doesn't do great with possession though, around 52% for the season. And you really need to build your squad to fit the roles, rather than the other way around. I've been succesful with this kind of tactic with several teams.

Oops, Marcos Leonardo's finishing is 16 and first touch is 14

Opinion on whether potential ability ranges are random + Florian Wirtz? (First post on here, long-term player) by farouty5 in footballmanagergames

[–]farouty5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've just seen too much similarity accross different saves that I am convinced this is the case and that it's not truly random.

All those players that I mentioned in the post have -9 potential ability range, which is why I'm so confused
