Apparently Newcastle start with a transfer budget of £200M & £600K p/w wages.
£600k for wages sounds low. I guess you can flip some.
I saw a screenshot of £200m with a £2m p/w wage budget.Originally Posted by Danny
On reddit? I see that one too now. I just saw the text post one. That does seem more logical with the transfer budget
600k p/w would be half of the lowest wages from a Premier League team in my current season, so it couldn't be that surely.

I assume he meant £600k p/w unused of their budget.

Some immediate annoyances
- Some players have no transfer value set, which means when you are searching for players, you can't simply just sort by value
- The colour scheme is still disgusting: thankfully easier fixed with a new skin (https://www.fmscout.com/a-kojuro-fm22-skin.html)
- Spanish youngsters continue to be massively overrated, most English youngster seem to be underrated
- Feels a little laggy at the moment, but that seems to get sorted after a few updates

Barca looks like a great game:
But with that tasty youth academyApologies for USD currency but they start ~$40M in debt, no transfer budget and about 5M left to spend on yearly wage
Edit: also the projections have them at $175M in balance at the end of Y1 and over $200M after Year 2
€1.1bn in debt with a few loans.
All their youngsters are crazy good. Gavi at 16 is absurd.
Meanwhile at Newcastle, the AI replaced Brucey with Sir Brendan Rogers who has been a little reluctant to bring in much talent yet.
The values you see now are what the club will actually sell for, in that range. Its a good change, stops all the moaning about 'they want 200m for a 5m player'. No value set means not for sale at any price. Makes it a tad more realistic as doubt managers just have a list of players sorted by value.
Corners are ludicrously OP, scored 5 in 4.
That’s a horrible change.
I much, much prefer it.
I think I like it as well, but for some things (like player searches), it'll take some getting used to.
Yeah it's a lot better. To have a basic idea of what it is going to cost to get a player makes a massive difference to the game. If I know Mbappe costs 75-100 I know more so where to pitch an offer or what kind of addons I can offer to get the deal across the line. Rather than completely guessing every time I want to make an offer for someone.
I won't get much time to play it before full release so I think I might have a quick game with Newcastle for the next couple of weeks. Just to sign a couple of the wonderkids if I can and just see how they pan out in game before embarking on something a bit more full on once the game is out properly.
I think I stand corrected.
What are your own players valued at by default?
Price ranges based on rep and ability, it appears. So bids will come in around there, unless transfer listed where they will be lower. So I transfer listed Cavani, worth 4.8m, got offered 3.7m outright. No more '500k and you pay 90% of his wages' nonsense.
Transfer Deadline Day is also actually good this year. They've embraced the full muppet experience.
Playing this:
Leads to this. Good old FM:
Are there any changes to the tactics system?
Just Wide Centre Backs and some renaming, thats about it. Pressing works slightly, but only slightly differently in that as players get tired, you'll see more mistakes if you're playing a high press.
Anyway that's the ME broken, til next year lads
I'm always surprised at how many issues there are during the beta (not big things, but really simple things that I notice immediately), and how easy it is to beat the ME. Surely they have hundreds of testers playing this for a couple of months before release... has not one of the testers tried breaking the ME?
I'm in January and just lost my first game of the season... despite lots of rotation.
Their testing system seems to be fucking awful. Like legitimately one of the worst around.
Hmmm... Mbappe to Liverpool but at a cost of about £123m over 5 years....
Given he's agreed to reduce his current salary to "only" £240km I may just confirm it - plus I've never managed him before. BUUUT... he only has 10 for work rate....
Do it!
Just lost my first match too. Classic FM'd. Dubravka 8.5 MotM, de Gea 6.3.
Lost 3-1.
Pulled the trigger. Figure I can always sell him, plus on my long-term save with Crewe, I rarely get to sign such #ballers.
How are Newcastle doing? They are actually spending money pretty wisely on mine, and currently sit 4th.Do it!

Nah it's a plague in the whole gaming industry really. They just release games and the first few months they are out they are basically being tested by the players.
5th on mine. Rodgers in charge, which seems almost hardcoded.
They haven't bought anyone, bar Elanga from me for 7.5mil, so he's doing outrageously good.
I was gonna ask when you are starting with them. Have you scoped them out?
I haven’t kept up with their squad lately but did see Kirk left. There’s goes a sold player/money maker.
In real life, shit. Kirk was literally the only guy left he could create something. Certain for the drop this season.
Had a quick look at the squad on FM22, looks to be reflective of reality
Ouch. Guess it’s a seriously long haul of a save.
Some proper Niclas Alexandersson vibes here. Defender/Midfielder/Forward (Right/Left/Centre)
No one from Club Brugge is ever costing north of £56m.
There was an article about him on the BBC the other day: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58916176
This dude is silly for 17:
Two-footed with those stats?
According to my scouts, shit hot prospect too.
Also here's my tactic if anyone wants to piss about on beta, only tested with United:
https://fm-base.co.uk/resources/14122sirjur.5674/
Griezmann on a 80% yearly wage rise is hilarious.
Question, do you people change the player attribute colours? If so, what is your preferred? This is all a but new to me...
Someone on Reddit is playing Mane and Salah as wide centrebacks (van Dijk between them) and absolutely annihilating everyone.
Broken game is broken.
