    How do the two Liverpool goalkeepers compare, star-wise?

    By the looks of it there are several Brexit options.

    1. Great Britain leaves the EU but Ireland unites and remains.
    2. UK leaves but then Scotland gains Independence and rejoins immediately.
    3. UK leaves and then remains united.

    All of those are apparently subject to HARD BREXIT and soft Brexit. There's also an option for us not leaving the EU at all. So there's at least 7 different ways the game can go, if I'm right in thinking.

    The only thing that does slightly irk me is that, this is a fixed event in the game which you have no control over. But there is no option to turn it off. The outcome is generated when you first make the database too, so in theory you could well sink seasons into this, to have the worst possible outcome happen. It can happen anywhere from 2 to 10 seasons in.

    I'm sure someone will find a way, but it'll be interesting to see how much harder the game will be in a case of HARD BREXIT.

    Its just going to be that homegrown challenge people used to do. I was going to link to one on the Football Manager now but what the fuck is that site all about?

    I like the look of the system, @Smiffy. I played the same formation with different roles on 15. Do you use Attacking mentality?

    So, the flats clean, and 'the misses' isn't around until later, which means it's finally time to put some proper time into FM. From now till Liverpool kick off

    That is so much better.

    I got so sick of promising them that they could go when a reasonable offer comes in. Only for the next day Tottenham bid £4m for said £15m rated player and he loses his shit.

    I'm doing my first long term United save. Sneaked the league first season after Arsenal were top for like 30 games, they went on a bad run of four defeats and two draws late season and I pipped them by two points. Won the Euro League too.

    AI seem to adapt to tactics quicker too, struggling a bit in my first six games second season. Midfield three of Maia, Saul and Pogba.

    Oh and the alleged broken full back AI isn't in my game either.

    What's the cheapest place to pick this up? I think last year I had found a website that had it for £20.

    Seems 433 might be this year's broken tactic again. AI counter a lot so there's always the chance of them hitting you hard, but two centre backs, and even three can't seem to cope with three centre forwards. Icardi is now on 27 in 16 playing the centre role of the three, including 4 v Chelsea. I'm not dominating as much with it as I was on FM15 though, away from home its hit and miss, plus Real matched me go for go at home in the CL, with me scraping a 3-2 win.

    And yes, playing this way its easy to make full backs broken again.

    This is the tactic:

    http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/share...7-4-3-3-a.html (you have to click the link and download it from his Twitch page)

    Probably incredibly bad if you're not a top side though. Pogba, Herrera and Saul in midfield is strong as hell.

    Isn't 4-3-3 with 3 strikers always broken, and has been for about a decade?

    I could never get it to work last year, always got battered. There were tactics that said it worked though. But yeah, its been broken a good while.

    I'd never spend that kind of money on a player. For £88m you'd want 50 goals a season for 10 years and you could find that cheaper eventually. Also as a side note, didn't realise SI had lost the rights to use the Spanish naming rights

    Guaranteed £80m + 25% of next sale? I hope you snapped their hand off.

    The only way you say no to that kind of deal is if you're already the top team in the league.

    Scouting this year looks top notch as usual with Coates valued at 26M after one season.
