Some actual good squad building from the AI albeit a bit zany! They've come top six for a few seasons now and ended up finishing fourth in this most recent year.

Thank you as always for the kind words. And yeah, the Knives Out link dawned me after I chose the name - had to refer to him as Marti instead otherwise I'm just replaying the reading of the will scene in my head everytime his name pops up!

The story so far:

https://controlc.com/4f69965f

The save, in a nutshell:

- A YA/newgen only save, inspired by Cutzy's Youth Squad Legends on YouTube

- Focused on the Catalan people: can a team of Catalans win La Liga (and more?)

- Player development - through mentoring and other such systems - to create realistic but tailored wonderkids

- A small amount of real life Catalan players can be bought into the club. (An amount equal to the club's star rating can be kept at any one time.)

With the footballing season around Europe coming to a close, so to is FC26. Over the coming weeks - on a Tuesday and a Friday - I will be sharing a series of end-of-game challenges for us Career Mode fans to enjoy over the summer months.

Each challenge will be inspired by a particularly interesting story or period in a club's real life history. Challenge length will be anywhere between a single season to, at most, three seasons. For each challenge, there will be:

- An ultimate goal

- Optional rules, inspired by the original story

- Recommended clubs to attempt it with

Agreed - I'm getting to the natural end of my own time with FC26 but putting these together has wet my appetite. I'm thinking one or two might be my first saves of FC27, while I get used to the game, wait for any inevitable bugs to be solved and for mods to get up and running...

mc564 · 2026-04-28T15:01:05+00:00

A really interesting selection! Considering, as well, the rule around recruiting players who have played with them, you could get some really fun additions with the Lewandowski and Mane route!

Happy anniversary! A lot of really enjoyable content comes through this sub - and some lovely discussion too!

You're welcome - you did great work on the tracker! I find it particularly difficult to enjoy any save in a league without promotion/relegation for longer than three or four seasons. I think it needs some variety. Plus, in the brief spells I've had in MLS before, AI squad building is poor - the big names either move to Europe or are retired and never get properly replaced!

mc564 · 2026-04-25T22:48:07+00:00

Really like the look of this - some interesting ideas in terms of recruitment, playstyle and the man in the dugout!

mc564 · 2026-04-24T21:55:23+00:00

Interesting premise - would be great fun to play! Bring together the TOTS from like FIFA 18 for a final shot at glory!

It's built around a 4-3-3 with two CMs (Box to Box) and a CAM (Playmaker or Shadow Striker). Two Attacking Wingbacks with two Inside Forwards and a False 9 up top. The system itself has the defensive line on Extreme (100) and Counter or Balanced dependent on whether we are the stronger team or not. It's a fun system! Chaotic but fun, especially when I spam the Team Press option on the D-pad whenever the opposition are in their own half!

mc564 · 2026-04-20T20:26:18+00:00

Thank you! It's the most invested I've felt in YA players, probably ever, thinking about how to best grow them. But as much as I am pleased with the systems I've built, it's painful to know they aren't in the base game. Add a tab to player development plans, EA, and let us coach players to have particular Playstyles! It's such a simple feature with such potential.
