The Eibar save.Originally Posted by Yevrah
Cracking updates chaps. I'll get back on mine soon, once work stops being so mentally busy.
Mahow - the money you spend on your saves is some real big dick energy. Kudos.
Are you playing full fat version of FM?
Yep, I can't do touch or whatever.
How's Reiss Bartlett?

Almost exactly the same as he was when he came through sadly.
Oxford City 2025/26 League Two - Mid Season Update
So the turn of the year has clicked by once more and as last year, we're in the hunt for a playoff spot once again. I don't feel we're quite good enough to make it, but we're getting closer. We concede far too many goals so I've resolved to get two new centre backs in the summer, be that permanent or on loan. Hopefully two mid-table seasons in League Two gives our rep a boost, lord knows we need it.
The cups have been a nightmare again, higher division (yet somehow non-lucrative) teams drawn all over the shop and this will be the second year in a row where we earn £0 prize money - I was pulling more in tier 6.
On the finances, we're £400k in the red, so if we can stay around that level until the end of the season and get the solidarity payment, sponsorship income (take off the bonuses), we could have a fighting chance of being in the black come the start of next season.
This is Moses Uzoka, he joined us on a free transfer from Chester two and a half seasons ago.
All was well and he was developing nicely and then in the summer just gone, Championship Swansea took a shine to him and started peppering me with derisory bids. I turned them down, Moses got annoyed. We rode the storm until the January window and back came Swansea, this time with better, but still not overly helpful bids. First was £100k, then £215k. I rejected them both, but now he's majorly pissed and upsetting the squad, so I thought sod it and offered him out for silly money, not for one minute thinking anyone would bite.

Nicely done. The board will probably let you spend 50k of that.
That's huge. He does look pretty good, with decent facilities he will develop quite well so I'm not surprised the AI were willing to spent £1m. Should set you up perfectly for a push next year!
Much the same since I got a machine capable of running full version sufficiently. I still think there is a little 'too much' to do at times though.
Wrexham FC
Season 20/21
Crowned National League champions.
Season 21/22
Finished 2nd in League Two
Season 22/23
Avoided relegation and finished 19th.
Season 23/24
Lost to Rochdale in extra time after reaching the Play Off final.
Season 24/25
Lost to Fleetwood in the semi final of the play offs, 1-1 at home was followed by a 1-0 defeat in the return.
Season 25/26
Romped to the title with 101 points. In hindsight, the prolonged stay in League One probably helped our youngsters more than a quicker promotion would have.
Season 26/27
Some big teams in the Championship and most notable amongst them were Crystal Palace and Newcastle but the Toon Army fell away after looking dead certs for the title whilst unlikely front runners Blackburn appeared to be on course to land it. We plodded along in the play off spots for much of the season but then Rovers tripped repeatedly, Newcastle rediscovered their early season form and we somehow found ourselves robbing 2nd place. To the Premier League!
Season 27/28
And a long hard slog it was. We eventually finished 15th but just two points clear of the drop as the final weeks of the season saw anyone from 11th and below at risk as just five points separated the lot of us. Remarkably though we not only survived but won the EFL Cup beating Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea along the way.
Season 28/29
We won the Uefa Conference League at the first time of asking to qualify for the Europa League group stages which is just as well as we finished 15th in the league, again retaining our top flight status and on course for steady improvements. Young enough, good enough, hopefully a few more additions from the youth team to provide some serious competition and then who knows, perhaps a period of dominance in the next 5/6/7 years?
Here's the starting eleven based on the last season.
I wish my job was dead so I could play FM all day. All these saves have got me in the mood.
Preordered 22 too.

Yeah that yev one has me wanting to try out a lower league game like that, I’ve never done it before. I’ve managed similar level and financed teams in League of Ireland games but there’s nothing to aim for there as you’re already in one of the top two divisions so can never improve finances.
Then again, I’d probably load it up and just glaze over again when I see how much you have to do to get a game going.
Oxford City End of Season Update 2025/26 - League Two
So our second season in League Two ended with us in 11th, one place above our highest ever finish for the club last year.
Bugarin was back in player of the season for us form, but biggest win of the season bar staying up was the first £1m sale.
Cracking season on the finances, although no idea what happened to the fund raising department this season. The improved position has led to our highest balance to date:
And in turn, our highest transfer and wage budget:
Absolute key this summer is getting some more quality in the first team. A left winger and two centre backs being paramount. The playoffs has to be the aim at the very least.
I've started a save with Liverpool with the sole aim of trying to concede less than 10 in the league all season.
Transfer listed everyone outside the main 22 or so players.
I'm a twit
I am so close to pre-ordering FM22 like Baz...
Edit: I feel I may be in for a shock considering my version is 11 years old.
It's great, but there is a lot of shit and everything is much harder (players whinge more, minimum fee release clauses mandatory etc). Plus there's Brexit, which unless I'm missing something completely rules out signing any foreign youngsters if you're managing in England.
Made it through preseason, phew. Managed to sell some duffers from the kids teams as well as Neco Williams, Divock Origi, Adrian and Loris Karius for about £35m, but honestly don't need to buy anyone so whatever.
Made a tactic that's nothing like Liverpool but should put me in good stead for not conceding, especially as the overall mentality is defensive.Milner's ideal as a defensive winger on the left and I'm unsure whether Harvey Elliott will keep his spot on the right when Ox is back. I somehow beat Arsenal 3-0 in the Community Shield and then trounced Watford 4-0 in the opening game of the season.
Games remaining: 37
Goals conceded: 0

What a bizarre but intriguing challenge Baz.
And talking of bizarre...
So I can't get any players beyond goat herders and kids to join me, but Germany want to put me in charge of all of theirs.
I had England approach me after I got out of the National League too. Couldn't believe it at the time, but I turned them down. I've barely touched international management and I didn't fancy doing it in this long-term save. Although it was tempting to give some of my shitters a few caps...
Take the job! (whilst keeping your current job). If only to extend your scouting network into Germany.And talking of bizarre...

In 2 years time, Oxford is full of up and coming Germans
Forgot to mention that I'm England manager on my Gills save. But I let my ass man pick the squad. And then holiday each international match so the ass man is effectively managing them.
I'll just take over when we reach the major tournaments. He'll be furious.
For one season at Aberdeen, I let my Ass Man take 80% of the games. He won manager of year ahead me, the cheeky twat

On a separate FM22 note - where abouts are you cool cats pre-ordering from? ta
He did fuck all, except pick the starting XI. No transfers, no tactics, nowt. He also stunted my youth players by not playing them.

Sadly Brexit has put paid to that. I’m 100% an Oxford City man too.Take the job! (whilst keeping your current job). If only to extend your scouting network into Germany.

Does Brexit really fuck it up that much in the game? Or is it just because you're a lowly rep/league team currently.
I.e. if I was at Liverpool, could I sign up all my favourite South American and European wonderkids?
It kinda can ruin it. It means you basically can't sign any decent South American wonderkids, unless you are happy to farm them out on loan for 3 seasons.
Thanks. Is the 3 seasons so they obtain UK status??
What about Europeans?
Yeah, 3 season for the WP. Same with everyone except UK players. There does seem to be a clause for certain players, I've had a few given a WP even they they probably shouldn't. Most versions of Brexit also limit you to maximum 17 non-UK players.
FM22 is only £32.99 on cdkeys - reddit
It's gonna be on gamepass if you have ultimate, but I like them in my Steam library.

Cheers. Price has gone up! Used to be on twenty odd quid...
I thought it wasn’t out until November.
It’s a preorder. Think it includes wanky beta access 2 weeks before proper release too but I haven’t bothered playing a demo since 03/04.

If i pre-order, I will be playing the beta.

I’ll fire up one of the ones I have on Steam that I barely played, I think 2019 is the last one, and see how quick I give up before buying.
I think there was a big fuck up they did since 2019 too (tactics screen maybe?).
I should just load up 13 and take he easy Rangers route.
Was that the time they inexplicably flipped the tactics screen to a horizontal one. Really didn't work.
EDIT: Just Googled and can't find anything did I imagine this?
Last edited by John Arne; 24-09-2021 at 06:24 PM.
Did they keep it that way since?
I've no memory of that.
I'm a twit
They definitely did some stupid shit on the tactics or team select screen that made you see way less that you used to. I’d say if going back you’d find ones in this thread saying how shit it was. Whenever it was.
