Decided to go low, went for Sc*nthorpe. Dunno if it’s my training (actually thinking about it, they’re all in game) but injuries are absolutely rife, especially among keepers for some reason.

Just had my penalty taking striker in goal for the final twenty and of course we got a penalty, had to let him have it :D He scored thankfully.

Noticed the same. Alisson got injured in a match 10 games into the season and out for 2 months. Next game Kelleher picks up a minor injury in game. Bit odd.

Yeah, the trend’s continued in my game. Think I’ve had six injuries between my three now and I’ve had to go over my wage budget just to bring one of them in.

Don't know if that has changed in recent years, but I think injuries always seemed to be a massive issues when a new edition of FM was released and they always had to fix them in a patch. Like some guy in their team thinks there should be loads of injuries and every year he ups the "How likely are injuries"-values for the release version without anyone knowing... ;)

Yeah I got two long term goalie injuries and had to bring in a free transfer to avoid using a greyed out player. Luckily it was in a transfer window. But now I have 3 goalies who all expect to play and are moaning. They got to patch it. They need to reduce the likelihood of goalies getting injuries and increase the chance of them getting a booking / red card. I played for years and years last year and don’t recall a single goalie getting sent off. When in reality with goalies rushing out, handling the ball outside the box etc IRL its not beyond the realms of possibility of a goalie getting sent off. 

EDIT: just been reading the SI forums looking for info on the goalie injury issue. Apparently its been acknowledged as a known issue which means it should be fixed. There is also some issues with adding leagues, loads of things missing from the J-League, unwanted squad depth complaints from players (I noticed this one too - I had 4 or 5 really good center backs and someone was kicking off saying I needed to improve that position) and some AI squad building issues but not sure what they are.

FM Mobile 24 is available for free if you have a Netflix account, which is strange.

Either way - is there a way of filtering your squad by position in the first team window on Mobile?

Hoping to emulate my CM01/02 success in getting HSV back to the top of the Bundesliga, this time through loaning Ben Doak and Quansah, because I'm not sure my CM tactic of "use CL money to buy 3 of Bayern's best players every summer" will work in the modern game.

Is there an issue with penalties as well again? Not far into my first season, but in my first two friendlies (one against my reserves and one against some small team) I got four penalties in total...

Netflix threw money at em probably
Netflix are doing a gaming push. I don't care, like, but it's strange in that it's a new market I guess

Me, got my PC hooked up to my telly - so I'm playing matches in 4K, added the TCM logopack

Might get the NewGAN face manager ting. You can give specific newgens faces if you want - think it's something like under the graphics folder, needs to be an image with the player's ID

When I last used that NewGAN thing a couple years ago I ended up just doing my own club's newgens as I don't give a toss what Spurs' or Man City's look like

First season with Liverpool and go into the last two PL games undefeated and 3 points clear of City with Arsenal (A) and Man U (H) remaining.

Lost 4-1 to Arsenal (gutted to lose the undefeated run) and City won so I ended up 2nd on GD and the title out of my hands.

In the final game come from 1 nil down to beat united 2-1 and City only drew with Newcastle so I won the league


One thing that I couldn't stop was my team putting every single player up for attacking corners. Conceded lots of goals from breaks from my own corners!

City are annoying in this game as they are in real life.

Won 15 of my first 17 games with Liverpool. Had the temerity to draw number 18, and by the time I kicked off match number 19 I was 5 points behind them.

Fuck off.

4 wins from 4 to start the season, 2-0, 4-1, 4-0, 4-0.

Signed Vitinha as a decent DM and he's just done his cruciate...Endo it is.

How are you guys using Szobo? I can't get him playing well :/

I'm using our tactics in real life so trent tucks in with Mac, then Grav and Szob ahead.

Grav has been tearing it up but Szobo keeps getting poor ratings.

Mac as AP, Dom as Mezzala, Endo as BWM, all support.

I've got Tchouameni as my #1 target for next summer. Signed Andre as well because hey why not? I started with the 'real world' mode. Had a punt on Yasser Asprilla from Watford too and loaned him back for the year.

On my HSV FM Mobile save Bobby Glatzel and veteran Felipe Caicedo are belting them in in a 4-2-4 with Doak on loan coming on second half to run the Bundesliga 2 farmers ragged.

Szobo is a BBM for me, can also do DLP

Seems prettty versatile. An underrated role is CM - Automatic. I never use that for weird me reasons but it does seem to be a key component in many tactics

Tactical Style: Gegenpress
Formation: 4-3-3 DM wide
Mentality: Positive
In Possession: Pass into space, play out of defence, higher tempo
In Transition: Counter-press, counter, distribute to centre-backs, take short kicks
Out Of Possession: High press, standard defensive line, trigger press more often, prevent short GK distribution, step up more

Goalkeeper: Sweeper Keeper (Defend)
Right Back: Full Back (Support)
Right Centre Back: Ball-Playing Defender (Defend)
Left Centre Back: Ball-Playing Defender (Defend)
Left Back: Wing Back (Support)
Defensive Midfielder: Defensive Midfielder (Support)
Right Centre Midfielder: Advanced Playmaker (Support)
Left Centre Midfielder: Box-to-Box Midfielder (Support)
Right Winger: Inside Forward (Attack)
Left Winger: Inside Forward (Attack)
Striker: Advanced Forward (Attack)

Fits the Liverpool squad perfectly, Trent despite his real life desires is an elite right wing back :D

Downloaded via Steam I think is the most common way. Not even sure you can purchase a disc nowadays.

https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/football-manager-2024/22828

I think most newer set ups will run it but the loading times when you hit continue might take you a while. Especially if you have a lot of leagues loaded.

Liverpool in my current save are financially broken. Tried to take the job in 2040, and then after the issues I reloaded my save and took the French job before trying again in 2046. In both saves the club's income is crap and the wages manage to f*ck them despite only having the 10th highest wage bill in the PL. Just don't have the patience to sell off all of the best players and start again ;D

I failed one of my objectives, to increase commercial revenue, despite it being AI generated..

My favourite piece of utter shit programming is 2 19 year olds kicked up huge fusses as they didn't get picked for the CL squad, despite not needing to be. In the "chat" my options were to promise adding them to the squad, back down or threaten them, which ended up with a full squad revolt leading to us starting to play shite, took me a month to get squad harmony back. Good process.

The squad harmony stuff is a constant pain. Had a save where we’d won like the first 18/19 games on the bounce playing really well. Then some prick with a “squad player” expectation kicks off that he’s only started a few games. Half the squad agree and morale gets tanked.

In real life if a team is flying at the top of the league, I can’t see it happening.

Update on my LFC related post above, they've just been relegated in 2047 and finances are "In Debt". Sheesh.

What a list of managers. Klopp made it until 2038 before being sacked (from 2023 to 2038 he won two league cups, two FA cups and a Europa league :lmao ) . Then Alessandro Nesta had the job for four glorious years in which he won nothing, then got sacked. Xabi Alonso for a year, won nothing, sacked. Thiago Motta for 200 days before quitting. Aaron Cresswell for 289 days before quitting (won an FA Cup). Then Max Aarons who won a Europa League (and some associated supercups) before being sacked with the club in the relegation zone. Some regen manager comes in and takes them down.

Happy days ahead for us all.

Anyone else have an issue with Nunez and offsides? I know he gets caught a fair amount in real life, but he's been caught offside 33 times in my first 11 league matches, including 6 times in 1 match. Scores shitloads of offside goals too which is infuriating.

I took the Liverpool job after they were relegated. Sold about 25 players to completely rebalance the club's books. Gone down to a wage budget of £1.6m in the championship.

Well on course to go straight back up, but the highlight of the season so far has been a trip to Old Trafford in the 4th round of the League Cup. Bearing in mind I'm in the Championship and they'd come 2nd in the league the previous season. I think they rested a few players but were 2-0 inside 20 minutes so I was expecting the worst. Then my players woke up and ended up running out 8-2 winners :lmao Glorious.

Just came second to them bastards because I lost all my DMs in January, won the LC and EL though. Nunez scored 25 in the league alone for me.

Haaland scored 45.
If I were a linesman, I would execute defenders who applauded my offsides.
