senorsoupe Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 As expected, things are trailing off badly for my Bolton save since I lost my top loan players, one win in 8 in the league since January and now just above the drop zone (but the teams around me have games in hand). Thibaud Verlinden and Josh Earl have been huge losses, I'm back to playing kids at left back (because I can't afford to sign any replacements and nobody was available for loan) and the two loan signings I did make have been mediocre so far. Only permanent signing in January was a well rated Tommie Hoban, predictably he's been pretty bad so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballymoneyyin Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Is anyone still having problems with 1v1's or strikers generally being unable to score goals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM. Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I mind over FM in the last couple of years a few folk mentioning having Adam Idah on loan from Norwich and him being really good. Thought it was worth mentioning he scored a hat trick for them in the FA Cup today. Believe the hype! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my latest match... Guess what the four clear cut chances were... Games broken as its just complete pot luck if you score or not. Strikers attributes mean nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Warning, if you play Bolton Wanderers they will keep slashing your wage budget lol. Despite surviving in league one my wage budget went from 59 grand per week to 45 grand per week (having been 77 when I started the save). Before the new season I need to dump a few more players. Anyone want Remi Matthews, Ali Crawford et al? Lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Started a save with Fulham in order to get them up, keep them up and then hopefully move on to something better. Won promotion in my first season finishing with 99 points with Leeds second on 97. Swansea joined us in the Premiership having won the playoffs. Opening day of the season I beat Swansea 2-1 away from home and my first home game of the season I’m up against Bournemouth who thumped Leeds 5-0 on the opening day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Also, strikers still can score 1v1’s and whenever a player is running through on goal from a tight angle rather than square it to a team mate they shoot from ridiculous angles and never score. Last moan is about the amount of injury time added on at the end of the game. I’m never under 4 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I've tried to get around the 1 v 1 issue by training forwards to round the 'keeper, but it seems none of then are willing/able to learn it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been away for the last 4 weeks and I was hoping that I'd return to a fully patched game without issues, sadly not. I've found the strikers are generally performing well aside from the 1 v 1 situations. I reckon 9 out of 10 in 1 v 1 situations end in misses. It's really frustrating and to someone untrained in computer programming it seems like it must be an easy fix, but obviously it's not.

Injury time always high for me too but I just assumed that was down to my shitfesting tactics which have proved successful in getting the Sons out of League 1 (in the right direction). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I signed Tommie Hoban in my Hearts save, and he wasn't great but will forever be an FM legend for me because he scored the only goal of the Betfred Cup Final against Celtic after only about 40 seconds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Safe to say this years version is a bug ridden mess. Worst FM in a good few year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I seem to hit the woodwork a ridiculous number of times per game, and my strikers are incapable of scoring the easiest of chances despite me managing to create loads of chances every match. I have tweaked my tactics endlessly to see if I was somehow causing it, but it remains the same. I'm not playing this again until it is patched because I am likely to throw my computer monitor out the window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I binned my tactics altogether and created a Clean Slate tactic from scratch, and have now won four on the bounce - scudding Liverpool, Everton, Southampton and AstonVilla in the process - and scoring a ridiculous number of goals and only conceding two. Oh, and my strikers suddenly found where the goal is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have a Newcastle save running at the moment and I am experiencing the same issues, Yedlin & Williams as wingbacks are shooting from the most ridiculous angles. Hardly any 1 v 1s result in goals I have more success from shots at the edge of the box. I initially put the problem down to Joelinton being real-life Joelinton as he's only on 6 goals for the season. I got taken over prior to the January transfer window and had a budget of circa £7m for the window. Following the takeover the new Managing Director took it upon themselves to agree deals for 2 players which I could do nothing about. To be fair, they were 2 great signings in Bruno Guimaraes & Victor Tsygankov. However, there was about £60m in the bank which they have completely wiped out with those 2 transfers so I was left selling players for the remainder of the window - haven't seen that before where a takeover brings in players with them. I am sitting 8th come February and despite the problems with scoring I am fairly enjoying the game. I will be sticking with this save as Brexit has been cancelled! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Is anyone else getting a farcical amount of disallowed goals in games? I seem to have at least one for or against me every other game, and quite often multiple in a single match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
