Yeah, but you should be able to offer people the job regardless. Sometimes your board blocks it, sometimes they give you an option to terminate the current ones contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Ooft, Operation get a team of all-British players to the Premier league has taken a bad turn. After shitfesting my way to the end of the last season the board told me to get 9 points in my first 5 games, I got 8 and was sacked lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 After having been sacked by Portsmouth I have decided to start a new save with Billericay Town to see how far I can take them. First obnservation is holy unbalanced squad Batman! Of the 20 players more than half are wingers and strikers and not a single RB. I have 2 goalies (1 is injured), 4 defenders (3 CB's and a LB), 2 central midfielders, 8 wingers and 4 strikers. I think that recruitment will be critical lol, at least I have a massive budget for this level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Haven't bought a FM game in a good number of years now, but feeling the itch and think I'm gonna get it when I get paid tomorrow. Is this version worth it for someone who hasn't played in years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I think it's a good one to get back into it. The new scouting system takes a bit of getting used to but now, with the tactics, you can choose a style "direct counter attack" or "gegenpress" or "tiki taka" and it automatically assigns the old "sliders" to fit it rather than having to go through it all one by one. You can still amend the basic tactical style if you want but the tactics are a lot more user friendly and easier to pick up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an excellent game IMO, would agree with Asim in that the tactics are user friendly and on the scouting point, I have no clue what I'm doing there and very much winging it but thoroughly enjoying the game despite my mixed bag of results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I've kinda gave up on the details of the scouting. I leave my DoF to handle scouting meetings, ask my scouting team to scout players I'm having a look at, but just use the search players function and list everyone by scouting recommendations when I'm making a signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I've kinda gave up on the details of the scouting. I leave my DoF to handle scouting meetings, ask my scouting team to scout players I'm having a look at, but just use the search players function and list everyone by scouting recommendations when I'm making a signing.You can give the scouts assignments which is quite handy. For example, in January I really needed to replace my right back after deciding he was too shite for the league I was in. I assigned two of my scouts to find first team standard right backs who were under 25 and picked up a gem of a youngster from Newcastle on the cheap. Other than that I tend to just search for players and ask my scouts to scout them and also scout the players than pop up in the scouting meetings. I've found a few belters through the meetings so I'd say its worth taking charge of them. Agents will also ask you to have a look a lot of their players etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Really not put a great deal of time into this but after 2 seasons with York City and 2 title wins on the bounce I have joined Brentford, who just finished 13th in the Championship. I was also offered the Peterborough and Wigan jobs (both League 1) but Brentford obviously stood out as the more attractive prospect.A measley £5m transfer budget and very little wiggle room in the wage budget has me slightly concerned. I reckon I'll probably avoid paying any fees and look to sign free agents. We also had the lowest average attendance in the league last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it early on, but the benefits are hard to see so it felt like a waste of time to me. Have left it to the assistant since. Will get involved with Match Prep every so often if we're leaking goals from set pieces or struggling to score, but that's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not even bothered my arse with set pieces this year but that may change now I'm taking on the Championship with Jap Stam's shanner of a squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I stumbled upon a tactic (more tactical instructions/player roles) that was basically a cheat. In my second season with Roma I won the league, cup and CL without losing a game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
