    I remember the BBC thing they did a couple of years back where Miles denied Tonton Zolo Moukoko's very existence.

    They discussed him on the podcast, and others, and he said it was a big disappointment and he tries to forget those where it goes wrong (like To Maderia)

    Well the regen faces are finally fucking improved. Not amazing but better than the horror show of the last couple years.

    I'm hesitant to update to the release version, I've got a good thing going early on and fear the slightest change will bring it all crashing down

    The new patch (full game) has massively increased commentary only speed, which is awesome. Now for some nice skins, and we are done.

    I'd normally have got this by now but the thoughts of setting up that dreaded first preseason (staff, training, etc) is putting me right off. Main reason why I normally only ever have one save per version.

    It's €30 on CDKeys at the moment.

    Yeah, I think that too. Diving into the game for the first time you are utterly swamped. It’s remarkable how bloated it’s become.

    So far I'm doing surprisingly well in the first season with Arsenal. Welbeck is killing it, 17 goals from only 9 starts or something (a lot in the cups admittedly).

    Playing this sort of X-mas tree 2-3-2-1-2 formation with Wing backs and an AMC, working pretty well.

    Finished 2nd in the league in the end at fucking 93 points I think, 1 point behind United

    It was a two-horse race between us for the last two months of the league, where United was constantly 1-3 points ahead, I annihilated them at home 6-0, but after that they just refused to drop any points.

    I don't mind it, its literally maybe a click or two more. Scouting works pretty much the same, its just organised differently, and the pre-match stuff can be skipped.

    Wankers love to moan, though. Its more of the same, as it will always be.

    Some top level (Arsenal) player suggestions? Like wonderkids etc.

    I need a defender and someone to make up for Sanchez leaving. Mathias de Light looks the shit but Chelsea snatched him. And I'm hunting Maximiliano Romero, but doubting he'll get a WP.

    Any other suggestions? Would prefer not having to pay over 30M or so.

    Ta, though in the end I signed Alexander Isak for 36M, mainly just because he's Swedish but he does look like the shit.

    If you still need a defender, Jose Gimenez from Atletico Madrid has been solid for me. Cost me over £50 mil though.

    Rugani is better and is half the price.

    De Ligt is God mode.

    Yeah De Ligt seems like something really special.

    In the end I got John Stones, not sure about that but he was transfer listed and only 20.5M, so I figured he's English as well, can't be that terrible. Still have a season or two with Koscielny, and I also got Reece Oxford who looks like he could turn out pretty decent.

    Anyone finding 18 an easy ride? Won Serie A with Inter at my first attempt. 90 points amassed and only two defeats all season. We weren't anything special.

    Sturaro has been a must-buy on these early patches, he's been great for me at Stoke. As has Thomas Delaney from Werder, who are usually relegated. Just a shame Angel Correa isn't listed from the start any more.

    For Android and iOS I mean. I only see 2017 in the Play Store. If I'm going to play the pared back one then there's no point in hauling out a laptop to do it.

    That's feasible, I think, @Mike. United's Adidas deal is 75m/year apparently.

    I misread it as £300m a year

    And sorry @Giggles I thought you meant on PC. I know the iphone version is out, but not sure about the ipad one. They're different right?


    First deal of the summer is Sanchez in from Arsenal on a free. I'm meant to start my proper save tomorrow....might be tough to stop playing this one.

    Yeah I think there's FM Touch and FM Mobile. The latter isn't worth the bother.

    I think you can play cross platform with the same save on Touch too, so the PC one will be handy anyway.

    I really like the tactic I've created. And for once I just sort of did it all myself without looking too much at some cheat-tactic from FMBase or something, which is a lot more fun.

    It's just really quite solid, I don't score a lot even though to me it seems very attacking, but it's one of those tactics where I can just adjust the mentality a bit depending on the opposition and it works with both Attacking and a Counter mentality without having to change anything else.

    I have some other 4-3-3 tactics trained, but in the end I never use them anymore.


    So far in the 2nd season I'm top of PL half way through, and breezed through my CL group which, after all, consisted of Real Madrid, AC Milan & Salzburg.

    Of course, only to be drawn Barcelona in the Ro16


    Lacazette is fucking killing it up top as well. Top scorer AND top assister

    I always play it making my own tactics. I just enjoy it that way more. Normally building a tactic to fit my players.
