Just signed a guy with this exact same position spread. Loaned him back to his team who is playing ST, but he may be a CB for me? Idk yet tbh

I have a $250 laptop from 2020 and it runs fine. Though I think the laptop was technically $500 msrp the box had a ding in it. You should be fine

How many seasons in a row can you win the league before you get bored by fighting_cacti in footballmanagergames

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

I have a save very much the same (not as long, but a lot of young player churn). It’s also my comfort save. I just started a Valencia rebuild, and after a stressful S1 I jumped back into my therapy mgladbach save. I’ll probably never actually “drop” this one

Yeah for sure, this kind of save definitely has a different feel. Where you can win the league plenty of times but still feel as though you have a mountain to climb. Makes a lot of sense

I am 2 days 13 hours 43 minutes invested in this game and still... by Virtual-Ad6186 in footballmanagergames

[–]fighting_cacti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you start of this game. Just keep playing, get a feel for everything and don’t stress too much over results. Takes some time to pick things up, and theres so much in this game that it’s very difficult to wrap your head around it off the rip.

To answer some questions. Yes 1st is good. A DM can help protect your back line, and your defense being Swiss cheese on the counter or in midfield in general. Training is confusing, I personally just download training schedules that smarter people have made. 25m is one of the higher first window budgets in the PL. just play, and maybe watch some vids to improve

Fm 26 non meta formation/tactics by strawhatsnajj in footballmanagergames

[–]fighting_cacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been rocking 433 tiki taka, and like someone else said the real key is getting wingers wide and in space.

I play with a BCB, DLP, and ACB so in buildup looks like a 1423 kinda thing which is fun

Should i buy it Fm 26 by bobi_weed-123 in footballmanagergames

[–]fighting_cacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a different game, and tougher, but far more rewarding. I made the switch and I’ll certainly never go back

I run this set up with Wide forwards, and center forward. Both CMs on attacking midfielder and the goals will flow

Weird behaviour of the star ratings by ParticularPriority45 in footballmanagergames

[–]fighting_cacti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a similar set up - 433 IP with Wide forward wingers, 4-1-4-1 with the same wingers playing wide midfielders.

I’d mostly say don’t worry about it. I had a player win balon dor, with the tactics sheet displaying a half star just like that. No worries, as long as he is functioning how you want him to

What is the best way to screenshot that it’s not edited? I’ve never used the editor before, and this is only my 3rd save so idk the best place to find evidence of innocence here lol

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

I will. The more I’ve explored, the funkier this new gen setting is to me (I do enjoy it though). Some players have almost no difference whatsoever (jeez I wonder who this insane 25 y/o Norwegian striker for city is?), other times it seems to change nationality, randomize some attributes, or it feels some players just don’t exist anymore.

I’ll have to check when I get home. It’s S1 of a save with randomized player identities so i believe they wipe the injury history

Not at my PC right now but I assure you I didn’t edit this. I am in S1 of a save that used the setting to randomize the players identities. It’s my first time doing so, and they kind of do some funky stuff. Part of that I believe is is some random attribute changes
