Goddamn. Goddamn.
Finally got Bentacur to enter into contract talks. He wants €425,000 a week, €49,000 appearance fee, and a €5m signing bonus
I did manage to get another contract offer to Dobrolovny to get rid of that €27m release clause, Had to bump him up to €125,000 a week but now he can't go for under €60m.
Some deadline day deals saw me reduce the bloat of the squad somewhat. Rojo, Tadic and Clasie all left permanently for a combined £15m or so. They went a little cheap but take with them a chunk of wage budget and they weren't really playing now anyway. I had also told Clasie he could move on if we failed to get Europe last year. Targett and Reed also both went out on loan.
The other Zivkovic is in for about £6m total and Thomas Lemar comes in on loan. I plan on training the latter into a left winger. This all leaves me with £50m in the bank and basically all of that left to spend. This is even after the new board decided to increase the stadium capacity by about 4,000.
Elsewhere deadline day went mad. Bale, Barkley and Markovic all moved. I did have a deal in place to get Barkley for £25m but he chose City over me once they had bid.
Is this the worst league season ever? Somehow achieved back to back promotions with mostly the same squad. I'll get molested in the Bundesliga, but at least I'll be rich.

Do Jak Alnwick and/or Taylor Moore get any good on FM16?

I applied for the Ireland job after Stephen Kenny went following Euro 2020. Just been offered it but I see a spanner in the works now.
Took the Irish job. Heading into the 2020/2021 season now and have decided to spash out a bit and see can I go a round better in the Champions League this time round. Bentacur will be a big loss but has funded a lot of the outlay.
Main transfers:
Squad going into the season:
And that's a nice start for the debutants in the Community Shield:
Lads, you need to help me out. I've got a 20 hour flight back to England in a couple of days and intend to play FM for the entire time. However, I have been unable to make an impressive tactic yet.
Just stuck with the ones that can get a team promoted, but it's far from special, incredibly inconsistent etc.
If anyone has one I can just plug in and win lots that would be great for wasting time.
I'm fairly sure I just play FM so that I can scout young players and try and make them awesome, as well as my team. I suck at the tactics part

Set it to all three tactic slots so they learn it quicker. You need industrious CMs though.
CM should take corner (the one who's not set to attack ball from deep), and preferably left footer on the right IF and vice-versa. Will take time to gel, as they all do on this version.
There isn't really such a thing this year. The AI has been a lot faster to crack on so you need to change it up a fair bit unless you're managing a top team.
That being said I'm having success with this:

@Gray Fox that's very very close to what I'm using with Southampton too.
Just got this, can anyone give me a couple of cheap names/youngsters that'll come to a mid table Premier League club? Playing as Swansea and I've only got 5 mil to do anything with and there's gaps everywhere.
Ajer + Zivkovic are the "broken" ones this time around. Rodrigo Mora if you want to spunk it all on a striker.
Aside from Ajer, there's a ton of good Norwegians still in that league. Rossbach, Zekhnini, Tobias Svendsen, Fossum, Sander Svendsen, Elyounoussi, Selnĉs, Sĉter.
Signed for £1m
Big game coming up, as luck would have it against Arsenal at home. I've won one and lost three against them so far, so not counting on too much.
73 points would have won the league the previous season.
Made it ma, top of the world! 2-0 win, no bother. I'll go out of the CL before the group stage of course, but I've at least got a summer of hope.

Thank you friends. If my inflight campaign is unsuccessful, though, I will be disappointed in you.There isn't really such a thing this year. The AI has been a lot faster to crack on so you need to change it up a fair bit unless you're managing a top team.

C'mon, screenshots please?

If you're going to go that far you might as well look up their PA in the editor.
Cheers. Will try to get both.

Tempted to download this. Someone talk me out of it.
It'll get in the way of your Christmas drinking and womanising plans.
More importantly, it'll get in the way of Jesus.
I didn't take a single point and we're about to be relegated to a league that doesn't exist.
I've had to resign before getting sacked.
It's alright lads, we're 3-0 down after 26 minutes away from home to Killy-fucking-moon.
I live here and I don't even know where it is.Two versions back but probably a decent reminder.
Excellent work, Daniel.
I'm persuaded it's not worth the seethe.
Or download the demo and decide after that?
I downloaded it (the demo that is) but just cannot get into it.
Maybe it was just Guidos tactic...
Pretty sure this wouldn't work.
Wouldn't it be kind of a major bug if it did?
Annoyingly, I've taken Morecambe up to the Championship, kept them there with fuck all money, and still cannot get a move to another club.

Get that boy scouted.

It's time to scout out the players with 6 months left on contracts. Out there now only seems to be Will Hughes and Jack Grealish. It's tempting to try and pick them up after looking at the table.
We flew out of the gates. It's slowed down lately but we look a hell of a lot more solid than last season. The young player policy of the old board has helped but now they've all started clicking. A win in our next game sees us go 12 points clear of 5th place. There could well be champions league football next year. I'm hoping this rolls on so we go straight into a group stage.
Well it seemed to work for me, first season at United it had gelled about six games into the season, fully fluid. Training set to match tactics.

I think the processor thing is your four cores different workload? It looks like red and green are your cores 1 and 2, and therefore take the most load more often.
Man, found another amazing German in addition to Timo Horn, Niklas Süle. Absolutely dominating my central defence.
Can someone check how much he is at the start of the game?
.....
Pissing about with an edited database, essentially the Champions and Europa League have been replaced with the 'Fifa World League' and the 'Fifa Champions League', following quite a semi-realistic format in terms of slots and allocation. For example, playing in Tajikstan, I've won the league and ended up the World League which is the Europa League equal and the lowest qualification round, winner of the World League can gain automatic entry to the Champions League, which is pretty much the Champions League as it is plus some of the larger South American, Asian and North American sides.
Pretty damn fun idea as the Asian Champions League is a bit of an easy one to win.
Completed my first season and got dicked by Al-Shabab of the United Arab Emirates in the first qualification round. Fuck.
Test.
There are some mega Germans on this version. I'm almost tempted to take over Bayern and build some epic German-only team there.
I'm getting absolutely bummed by injuries.
6 first teamers out, and I'm dropping points left right and centre.
So frustrating because the league was all mine, but now Portsmouth have gone 3 points above with 9 games to go, and we don't play eachother.

I'm somehow clambering about 6th with Fulham in FM15 after taking them up last season. Signed some south american geezer called Rincon and him and Parker are dominating CM.
My team is pretty wank but I've got 4 pretty damned good strikers to rotate (Mitroglu, Woodrow, Wilson (loan) and Zivkovic).
Okay, I'm stealing that when Lazio is done.
Sule has been shit hot for about three versions now. I remember him and Robin Knoche donning things for me on FM14, I think it was, when I had a reasonably long running save with Nurnberg.
Niklas Stark and Marvin Plattenhardt were two other Germans who donned things for me in that save. Both were at Nurnberg at that point, but both are now at Hertha. I'm also considering a save in Germany for my next game, with either Hertha or Hamburg.
Schalke have about 3-4 or so absolute beasts (Goretszka, Meyer, Sane and Advijaj). I might go with them actually.
If you could pick up Sule, Brandt and Draxler (plus the rest) you'd win the lot.
I'd imagine Schalke would be a bit of a newgen farm aswell. They haven't been a particular menace in my current game, but the two best Germans in this game came from Stuttgart and Gladbach, so I'm not sure it's representative.
Yeah they seem to churn them out pretty solidly.
Halfway through the Jan window in 2018 and Pereyra from Juventus is listed for £10m. He's valued at £30.5m so I'm imagining this is a bit of a bargain?
