Vokes is actually good on it if you play with wingers he will score, I’m not even halfway through the season and he has 12. Tahith Chong is a beast!! I brought Vokes in the team after not playing him (with wingers Verlinden/McClean) and he scored 2 goals first game.....Bingo!...Thanks I missed out on Chong though! Gomes from the shit is good to and usually available on loan

Im playing a 4231 and am currently 3rd after 23 games. Won 17 D2 L4 not using any particular tactical instructions other than playing balanced attack. Top scorer is Campbell on 13. Ince has got 9 and a spread between the others. Oakley Booth's ratings jump the more he plays. Are you playing Ince on the left? I have tried him on the left and didnt really see much difference although his goals have been from the right side. Ive even recalled Afobe and he's bagged 9.

Fuck it, I'm in. Stoke in the 01/02 season. I give myself 4 months. Remembered why I hate this game. Bought the young Swedish kid I mentioned who went on to score 49 goals in 45 games, leagues player of the season. Turns out Riki Dadason is a bit of a goal machine scoring 27 in 35 an all. Stoke scored a total of 129 goals but slipped right towards the end and the keeper I bought to replace for Gavin fucking Ward and who was miles better than him got banned for the last 3 games which happened to be the play offs. Got beat over 2 legs and Vale won the fucking league. Gavin bastard Ward.

One of the other favourites was you would pull away at the top by some margin, then without any reason you would simply stop scoring or lose games 1-0 until a couple of teams got ahead of you then normal service was resumed but you would never catch up again.

Its alot better than it was . True mate. Premier league badges and kits seem more difficult to get hold of now due to licensing issues. I’ve got a hard drive somewhere with the logos on

I got Chong and Gomes on loan
My best players are Butland, Smith, Baath, Allen, Woods and Verlinden. Ince is coming good.
Clucas is not in my match day squad and is causing trouble in the camp so will get rid. Cousins has done well but cant fit him in the team and he's not happy Gregory hasn't done much but is not happy. Vokes keeps getting injured.

Vokes for me was on target for 30 goals, in all comps, couldn't stop scoring then got bloody injured for 4 months had to pay stupid money for a 6 month loan of Gayle to stay on target of winning the league. He only scored 9 for me. Campbell couldn't hit a barn door but Chong netted me 22 from the wing

Didnt play Clucas until the later stages but he managed a respectable 9 Vokes didnt get even 1 on mine Afobe got 10. I put Verlinden on the right and he scored 7 in not so many starts.

Just been digging around looking at this, and it seems Joe Lolley is actually playing as the Forest manager. Quite bizarre that a pro footballer is playing Football Manager for the team he plays for IRL, against virtual managers.

5 season in on a 6 man network save that we started when lockdown was announced.
I took over in the second season with stoke recently relegated into league one.
So far,
Won League 1 with record points 3rd in the championship 1st in the championship 11th first season in the premiership.
This game saps soooo much time!
Update - tough start to the new season as I languish in the bottom 3 on one point, being an unexpected point home to Man Utd.
Played: Spurs Liverpool Man united Newcastle Salford (human team) Derby (human team)
So a tough start, hoping to pick up some much needed points in the next batch of games.

I’ve taken Notts county all the way to the premiership but got rejected for the stoke job twice on the way, currently 3 games in the premiership but can’t seem to attract the right players so got to chuck in promising youngsters so will probably get relegated and then come back up even stronger

Sam Cosgrove is a joy to sign on it. Managed to play 5-2-1-2 to get him and Tyrese playing together, with Powell just behind and they scored 15+ each. Converted Tymon and Edwards to wing backs, the former being player of the season. Used Ince and Verlinden for alternative formation. You can get Curtis Jones from Liverpool on loan too who is good but I didn’t fancy him that much.

I missed out on Cosgrove I am in my first season, got Gomes and Chong on loan and Brownhill from Burnley I am 25 games in unbeaten and just beat Arsenal on pens in the League Cup Final It sounds too easy but every game is really tight. Verlinden and Butland are my outstanding players. I got Woods and Afobe back off loan. Ince is good when he is given a run of games. Baath and Indi solid at the back. Edwards is good. Allen is good in most games. Gregory is good as a sub. I find that it is good to switch between Praise and Demand More during the game, Encourage tends to stress the players! Like Stoke though I need to get rid of a few players. Powell has not been that good for me, but I think the secret is to give some players a run of games.

After talking about it, decided to start a new cm01/02 save. Not updated teams, so I'm Stoke in division 1 owned by the Icelandics. Mighty Shtaniuk at the back, Gunnarsson in midfield, Hoekstra down the left and a strike force of Iwelumo, Cooke and Greenacre battling it out to be my front 2. Sign Meysam Javan, he was my go to striker in that game. Swedish player who bags for fun and accepts incredibly small wages without complaining. 2 players i ALWAYS signed were stefan Selakovic (sp) and Peter Hanssen (sp) from halmstad

any updates on folk's FM20 exploits?
It looks like there is a chance of getting Stoke promoted to the Prem any tips for decent players (bargains!) for the next level 20/21?
I imagine the budget won't be huge!

I started again and only brought in Chong from man u, for the first team, and just got through via the play offs but did win the league cup, only came up against a prem team in the final and they didn't really turn up.
