Ok lads and lasses
Bit of a change for me due to having to self isolate.
Downloaded the level 20 database allowing me to play any league in the country that plays on a saturday pretty much.
Playing as my local team Silverdale Athletic in Staffs County Senior League.
First season saw promotion using a basic 442, completely different set up with amateur contracts and players continuously jumping to different teams etc.
Now in Midlands Football League Div 1.
Could be an interesting save this.

Well I finished fourth on the last day of the season fuller scoring the winner in the last minute of his last game for me! Do I renew his contract now , but the 25k a week he wants is a big drain lol. Won the Europa after having the easiest run to the final and facing Spurs in the final. Won in extra time after being battered for the first hour but having scored in the first 60 seconds spurs could only get an equaliser went all out attack for last half hour and started to dominate scored with ten minutes go in extra time with Ric getting me the winner. All in all massive season with a lot of luck hopefully can keep around Europe this coming season to build the club, but already have the big guns sniffing my players which will be hard to keep

Ok - Self Isolating I have an Air Mac. is this game worth getting on a Mac and can you just import a tactic and use it? If so, how easy is it to download the tactic? M Not sure if the Mac has a different version like an iPhone but if it’s the same as Windows then downloading and importing a tactic is easy. I recommend TT Avantgarde. Im already confused M

Im already confused M If you go on to somewhere like Fmscout online they usually have a walkthrough I’m not familiar with a Mac setup but usually it is download a tactic then cut and paste it into the tactics folder for the version of FM on your hard drive. The resident FM guru on here is Santy so you could always Pm him in case he knows anymore than anyone else 👍

Anyway gaming update pre season out the way after leading GB to Olympic gold with shawcross as captain and Rooney scoring 13 goals in the five games I’m now the England manager for the World Cup qualifiers. Stoke wise I now have Stuttgart in the way of the champions league group stages. Transfers out Kenweynes gone to Genoa on loan for the season with option to buy pennant and higgy have gone for cash so as the argie I brought torassa, Powell and Ben Davies have gone on loan for season with a few other youth players and woodgate upson tonge Davies A, soares and a couple of short team contracts Gabri and Dida have all left. Incomings cotton, lascelles, Brady, de laet, Mahrez all brought in for the youth team apart from de laet on free transfers. Olic after winning euros player of the tournament brought in on a free, sergi Roberto and umtiti brought in to cover defence as well as a Swedish left back. Lopes brought in to cover begovic and Sorensen. Then it got interesting massive bid accepted for Neymar but wouldn’t even negotiate contract but then I thought fuck it I will try for griezmann with a similar bid and got him for £20 mill 10 up front and 10 over four years. May did for one more player but had to give out three big contracts to Huth begivic and Ryan to fend of interest from other clubs and I don’t want to tip financed over if I don’t qualify for champions league

Update following 2-0 home defeat to Stuttgart managed to win 3-1 away from home to qualify. Olicic seems a waste of money so far, and Jerome who I’ve tried to sell just won us the European super cup against Barcelona 2-1 with a last minute diving header. 2/2 in the prem so far but in all games performance a are a lot worse than last season possibly due to my new forward line not gelling so the old faithfuls are jumping back to the front.

Finished the season third on last day of season 1 point behind man city and 3 behind Arsenal. Lost on penalties to Barca in the champions league final after missing everyone of them 🤦♂️ how Stoke is that lol. Won the league cup and ta cup, fa cup cup on penalties against Villa who missed every penalty. Transfers out have been palacios to Chelsea for £7.5 million and couple of retirements in fuller and Sorensen. Brought in Butland, Pjanic and Diego Costa for £10million for the three and a couple of high profile youngsters for £3million. Crouch is a superstar has scored 100 goals in 2 season, with 37 in the league and 12 in the champions league in the last season, sidibe is mr reliable scores and assists about 30 goals combined in each of the two seasons, griezmann has come good with similar figures I’m hoping costa can be the missing link to cover them three which I have struggled with. Bookies have me fourth favourite for the league which I have to say is now my priority. As England manager it’s ticking along nicely unbeaten in my reign so far with Crouch being the main scorer again with 17 goals for the year 6 in one game against Moldova 🇲🇩

Started an FM save at the weekend. First season complete and broke the Championship points record. Been given £40 million to spend but not sure whether to adjust my tactic as the one used this season was all in all very attacking, might not fare so well in the big league. Probably the best tactic that I've ever used on an FM save for the Championship. Recalled Afobe early on, scoring 26 for the season. Powell 2nd top scorer with Campbell 3rd. Only bought 2 players in the summer before this season, Promel for 1mill and Curtis Jones on loan. The bomb squad all coming back this year from loans, yet to decide what to do with them. (Ndiaye, Wimmer, Bauer, Etebo)
So far, so good.

Had to make my own tactic from scratch for the first time in ages, got me promoted with record points and wins for the championship. 30/40 shots at goal in some games. Signing turam from Barça on loan was the key he was an assist machine on the right with smith overlapping.

Signing turam from Barça on loan was the key he was an assist machine on the right with smith overlapping. Share the tactic please mate, I’m going to start a fresh game after selling most of my defence 😂 Used gengen press 4231 but told them pretty much shoot on sight but had whipped crosses from the left full back and shots from the winger and told the opposite side do the opposite so crosses from the winger and shots from the full back. Okore brought in for defence and turan on loan but pretty much until January was team we have now signed yaya then sold him in January. Lot of wins late on by one goal. Had pretty much no major injuries so when shawcross came back had a squad where it only needed little tweaks. Main team Butland Smith Tymon Okore Indi Allen DM Clucas BTB Ince Turan Powell Campbell Was my main starters usually subbed Ince for verlinden most games until the last 10 games or so when verlinden kept his place. Picked up a Croatian generated player on a free as he had a bit of potential and he came into the team for the last 10 games after Campbell was injured and he was a bit of a bonus scored 4 winners or goals that put us in the lead Got to the 1/4 of the fa cup lost to spurs on penos after being two nil up until the 84 minute. Started well I’m the prem beat Leicester, Burnley and Everton so far lost to Man City after matching them until the 80th minute then losing 3-1.

I started a new game taking chong on loan, selling diouf and recalling woods and afobe. Playing a different formation home and away which seems to work much better. Unbeaten in my first 8 games and top of the league. West Brom are having a mare in 20th

I have also had to reload as I had my resignation bluff called by a new board who come in when I got promoted 🤦♂️

He couldn’t score in a brothel for me lol Campbell finished top scorer with 20 league goals. Campbell now has 8 in the prem though by November. Signed Harrison from Man City for 6million had to keep going back and sticking to my guns as they were wanting stupid money for ages. Also picked up the yank from Chelsea miagzi or something like that, he’s been a rock. Winner was straight requesting a move before I even got chance play him but badou and etebo have been solid since returning. Loaned out Collins and Souter for another season and they are developing well so I can ease shawcross out and sell indi for a massive profit.

Campbell, tymon, verlinden and collins all improving rapidly 4th at the turn of the year but can’t get any financial backing from the new board. Shawcross requested transfer so I’m letting him go to free up wages. Hoping sneak a cheeky loan or free to boost me up. Agreed a fee with Arsenal for David Luis but miles apart on wages.

Which now has me in third/second depends which day I play lol. 13 points behind the dippers not catching them . It’s feb now I’m the carabo cup final. Verlinden and Campbell both have 12 goals, Honda is a good free transfer signing.
