What are data analysts for?
They're added for no real reason, doesn't even require a stat.What are data analysts for?
So Brexit edit makes England not appear in league drop down list, but start a game and it appears fine. Prob a ton of issues down the line, gonna sim.
Girlfriend allowing me to take the laptop abroad, where is the cheapest place people have found the game to purchase?
Test.
Higuain has decided he wants to leave and gone all unhappy and transfer requesty. Madrid sent about five €35M offers before giving up but Man Utd just came in with €95M which I couldn't really reject or the squad would probably crucify me.
That does mean I have that amount to spend on a striker. Who is the best goalscorer I can find? I still have the option to cancel the Higuain sale but I don't think I should given that he's unhappy and all.
Icardi
Man City have got him since January '17 but he's been a backup there for some reason, so there might be a chance of getting him.
I've only had one proper save, but Icardi in the middle of a front three was insanely lethal. If he's a lone striker, or a part of a two, I've no idea how he'd do
He looks similar to Higuain in terms of attributes, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm playing the first match of the season and Zaza's already scored after coming back from West Ham ... I could just keep him and buy a more modestly priced striker to rotate with him if Icardi proves too expensive.
EDIT: He's just scored a second ... the dilemma here is insane.
That's fucking shit. My tablet isn't good enough to play FM Touch
Man City rejected 70 million for Icardi, so I went for Diego Costa who was on the transfer list. €40M, lower wages than Higuain and accepted just being a rotation player instead of a key player. Seems like a good deal to me.
So after simming the Brexit edited file I got this:
Gonna sim again to see if the edit makes this the outcome, or if its one of the options.
Alright, transfer window basically over. Lots of player leaving, we had about 30 unwanted players in the U20 squad. From the senior squad out went Lichtsteiner (€1.6M), Neto (€6.25M), Mandzukic (€9.75M), and Higuain (€95M). I also took the option on Cuadrado for €9.75M and immediately sold him to Milan for €25M. Bayern activated the €21M option on Coman.
These are the players I brought in:
I went with Oblak and Sportiello as goalkeepers, Oblak was expensive but replacing Buffon was never going to be cheap. Criscito cost quite a bit but he's club grown from way back which is very useful in Champions League. Benatia was a beast last season so €17M is definitely worth it. Diego Costa I said above was needed to replace Higuain and rotate with Zaza. Ødegaard for €10M should prove to be an insane bargain down the line. Kessie and Calabria are decent prospects as well.
In total we spent €163M and received €134M, bit of a huge window this one.
I plan to line up with a diamond, or with a narrow 4-3-3 against small teams.
Worth buying 17 or not?
Yes.
Second no-Brexit test:
I've either been lucky and got the best scenario twice in a row, or changing Brexit start date stops/prolongs it from happening. Gonna do a proper save now, sod's law I'll get hard Brexit

Dodgy keys
Christ my manager picture is stunning.
Like a downs syndrome Jurgen Klopp with vitiligo.
Don't worry about it, next time you load the game it'll revert back to a default one. I've never had a manager I've 'designed' stick.
I like him and his crazy left eye though.
.....
Only thing I could find in the workshop was the Gibraltar league and an expansion to the Cypriot ones which is a bit shit but oh well.
We've got £700k in the bank, with a £72k transfer budget but we're spending £4k a week too much in wages which is a bit shit.
Here is our main man:
And here is our best youth:
I told the board that I'd finish near the top of the table so hopefully I don't fuck it up.
Jesus Christ I wish I had a comp that could run that many leagues. I only run the top league in France/Germany/England/Spain/Italy with a huge database, anymore and it chugs along
I'm not used to this little.
This is what I rolled with last year:
My PC is flying.
Oh and here is the team's official webcam model:
Well in, love.
And here are our loyal fans:
Brings a tear to the eye.
What specs you running? I'm on a quad core 2.6ghz i5 with 8gb ram, think its my intel hd shitey graphics card that slows things down.I'm not used to this little.

Did you chance it yet @Hammer? Doesn't look bad at all, though I'm only starting out.
Quad core 3.5ghz i5 with 16gb ram, graphics card is a 3GB Nvidia GTX 780.
It must be your graphics card.
Yeah anything above very low and its wank. Although I play in 2D so it doesn't matter.
Well the Touch version is fucked.
Nice to see that injuries are still a cunt of an issue.
Nah my tablet isn't good enough for it. I'm gonna wait until the mobile version comes out and get that instead.
Four injuries from a full squad of players doesn't seem that bad. You're not even completely cleaned out in any one position.
Injuries aren't bad on this. Make sure you have a full team of physios and sports scientists etc.

Dybala is unstoppable. 13 goals already and it's not November yet.
Smiffy btw I can't see any of your pics.
He's using Imgur share links which aren't compatible with the boards IMG tags.
He needs to either add .png to the end or hover over the picture uploaded, click the little arrow in the top right corner, go to 'get share links' and copy the BBCode link.
What the fuck was that. From 2-0 up to 4-2 down then back to 4-4. We hit the woodwork twice and both teams had chances to win it at the end as well. The match in Manchester was a tight 1-0 win for us, classic Italian game then two weeks later here comes the over 7.5. Not sure how that happens.
Still, for the neutrals it was probably the best game of football ever. Agüero almost scored in stoppage time from his own half but it went just over. I think I would not had survived had that gone in.
Whys that?
@Mike is getting me FM17 for Christmas but I want it now.I'm sure it'll be worth the wait though.
I'm a twit
After binning the West Ham game off I thought I'd follow DS' lead and give Man Utd a go. Petty fun.
We won the league:
and the Wafer:
Some player stats:
I thought that rather than spunk the inevitable warchest I get I'd keep some continuity in the team, so Ibrahimovic's contract extension option has been triggered and I've managed to keep Rooney around too despite him wanting a new challenge.
That said, I'm going to let Carrick's contract expire and I'm desperately trying to get rid of Ashley Young and Mikhitaryan.
Only purchase so far was a 16 year old Ryan Sessegnon for £9m. It'd be nice to try and get a core of English players back in the team.
I never see the point of playing with the 'big' teams. I don't think I've ever started with a team above League 1, actually. The best games are after some sad cunt has made an edit to expand down to grass roots level. I once spent a year of my life getting Great Wakering into the Champions League.
Can't believe you split the twins up, Yev. Get his brother in too! The new Nevilles.
Also can someone (preferably not too far in) post a comparison between Mignolet and Sergio Romero, please? Obviously with both of them scouted. Wanna see if it's worth loaning Romero off The Reid.
I'm a twit
Hold and drag doesn't work so you can't make substitutions during matches (only at half time), among other things.Whys that?

Actually it's definitely a lot higher than that.

They must never test anything out before putting them on sale.

At what date does Brexit happen in the game?

I'm using this formation at the moment. It really is great fun.
It's saved as '2-4-4 Cardiac Arrest'.
