I'm currently playing as Bologna on FM16 using a flat 442. We've finished 3rd in the first season racking up the most goals with Godfred Donsah picking up 21 of them from RM bagging him the Golden Boot. Is he any good on FM17?

That's like the whole point of the game for me, doing stuff like that. By the time you're a complete powerhouse, it's usually time for the next version anyway (I don't advance very quickly in my saves - if I manage two per version then that's good).Originally Posted by Panda Bear
This is getting fucking ridiculous now.
It's always all of them at the same time. Then you go and think Fuck I need more depth, and nobody get's injured and you have too many players.
It's like as if FM as a game is based on how Arsenal functions in real life, in most aspects.
Second season with Lyngby has gone appallingly. I finished dead last at the split with 2 wins and 7 draws from 26 games.
Thankfully, the ridiculous relegation play offs mean I may still avoid relegation.
The bottom 8 teams in the league split into two groups of 4 and play each other twice with the bottom two from each group playing off against each other at the end. The losing team from each of these play offs then goes into a relegation play off and there's also another play off for the winners. The team who loses the relegation play off is relegated in last place, and the team who wins the other stays up. (Still with me?)
The winning team from the relegation play off and the losing team from the 'stays up' play off then go into a play off with 2 teams from the First Division to determine who takes the final Superliga spot.
I finished last in my group, lost the first play off, but won the relegation play off so I now go into the final set of play off games with the loser of the 'stays up' play off and the two First Division teams to see who stays up.
Absolute madness.
They've since slipped to 6th in the league, but
Watford always absolutely dominate on mine and I have no idea why. The team is full of absolute shithouses.
They were really good on mine too until Mazzari got the England job.
Fuck Mazzari, he always calls me a cunt.
They've got to find a way to remove press conferences though. I think it's the one thing holding this game back from being good again. It's an awful, awful, awful, system.
I've found myself doing 'send assistant' more and more now instead of answering the same things over and over and over again. It's wretched.
Every time I've done that on a previous version he's said something that's annoyed my entire team and we proceed to lose for 3 weeks.
I haven't tried it but you could hire an assman who has 'media friendly' as his media handling style.
Finally got this today. Its £25 in Game.
Splashed all my money on Joe Hart in an attempt to stop leaking goals and avoid relegation.
School boy error, Mike.
Bit of a rude awakening in the Premier League. Scoring goals ok but leaking like a bastard. Restored wingers rather than a proper front three and made the team a little less gung-ho and then the next two results were big surprises
Bigi's going to win player of the year every season until he dies.
I let the assman do all media duties. Sometimes he decides to go off on one and say things like 'We'll be looking to sell *my best player* as soon as possible', but it's worth it not to have to click through myself.
So I've deleted all the fake files, replaced them with name fixes (for stuff like INTER and BMG instead of Gladbach), and I can see if I open the name-fixes that they're fixed, but when I start a game they're still the old, un-fixed names. No idea how this is possible, since the game is pulling its data directly from the folder I just edited. Has anyone encountered this? Do they sync files with Steam or something? On a Mac too btw.
£18 on Amazon.
Schoolboy error, Bam.
I'd can't be fucked with waiting for stuff to be delivered.
@Jimmy Floyd, I'd forgot all about this.
18 quid in Tesco too me auld fruit.

I just wait for the textile recycling bags to be on the curbs, Bam.Well I don't shop in Tesco were pikey buys his best clothes.
Thanks, he possibly ticks more of the wing back boxes than he does full back.
He's one of those that outperforms the numbers, though I was hoping he'd improve more by now. Caner Erkin wants out and I don;t know if I'd trust him if Jonny went down for months.
Transfers in:
£17.5m but he looks quite tasty, I also like that I can use him in 3 positions (I don't play DM) so he's a nice backup option until he becomes, hopefully, mega.
£6.5m. He'll get most of his game time in MC as AMC is locked down by Van Den Boogaard but I have high hopes for him.
Domestic:
Didn't get to our record points total but it was still a breeze with no losses in the league.
Europe:
Did really well in the groups but I was seething when we got drawn against United (bastard Mourinho clearly came second in his group for a laugh) and we got battered in Manchester. They're still the only team that can beat us 8 or 9 times out of 10. Mbappe keeps shitting on us.
Angry that we went out so quickly but it was almost inevitable when we drew United. Second leg did provide some encouragement though as we schooled them despite only winning by a goal.
Squad stats:
Our 4 main attacking threats in Ndiaye, Goosens, Van Den Boogaard and Ayaz is just so damn brilliant.
Bank balance is sitting at -£3.7m right now but we're projected to go into MASSIVE debt although I'm questioning the figures of the projection. We're expected to lose another £181m by the end of the season which officially ends in like a week or two. That would be some going even for me and Smiffy combined.
It might be because my board have, despite being £3.7m in the hole, given me a £104m transfer budget and £822k free in wages.
Didn't plan on selling him this year but I couldn't say no. I'm going to miss him
Leaves the club 1 short of 200 club goals which is a bit shit.
Seems fairly likely that you'll get the full payout though. Bonkers money, even though he's awesome.
Are you still sticking around in Poland? Not looking to move on somewhere else?
Yeah, unless he gets a career ending injury pretty soon we've got it all.
Not until I turn them into the best club in the world at the very least.
I like the team too much.
Only £73m in the bank so fuck knows why they're giving me that much the mental fucks.
Polish accounting
I tried to tell my Mum not to hire a Polish accountant when she told me that she was getting one the other day.
He might be Jewish. Or Female.
Female, unsure if she's a Jew though.
So at least it's not completely mental on my Mum's part.
Fucking have it.
I'm unsure where to start this game. West Ham is pulling me but I keep feeling that Southend would be a more enjoyable challenge, getting the legendary Carlton Cole on a free.
Or maybe brining Leeds back to the top tier. Hmmm decisions, decisions.
Or maybe try getting Burton in the Prem. Fuck knows.
Manc, that skin is horrible.
It's Football Manager Handheld.
Transfers out:
£186m which I think might be a record for me.
Biggest transfers out being 3 strikers. Our first choice in Ndiaye as well as our 3rd and 4th choices (who made about 10 starts each) in Bogunovic who we bought for £325k and Ahamada who we bought for £1.7m. I'm going to miss Bogunovic, he also made me another £10m in loan fees over the years.
Time for the ins:
£800k and one of the best looking Polish youth prospects in quite some time, my scouts think he could be pretty special. I'll need to re-train him though as we don't play with wingers.
Our biggest transfer in this year at £30m potentially rising to £36.5m. Geezer is going to be damn good, he's only one of 3 who have a definite 4 stars for potential in my squad.
£23.5m, I think I could have gotten him for less but Atletico seem to hate me. No matter what bid I make on whatever player they say they're pissed off and wont negotiate so I had to take him at his release. Not sure where he'll end up playing eventually though.
£80m in the bank, FFP is currently at £117m (it's been touch and go the last 2 seasons) but we're still predicted to be £100m in debt by the end of next season and £200m in the hole the season after. Christ knows why it's so bad.
Do cost projections include TV and match revenues or competition prize money?
As for Jose Ramon, I'd make that kid into high-pressurising complete forward. He could be a 15+ in all the right spots.
That Senel is going to be awesome sauce.
Intensive passing training required though.
After a bad start I've started to get Brighton to play well in the Premiership.
Slobodan Belic has had a decent week. Maybe dropping people as a vague, unspecified punishment for underperformance actually works.
