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! Cosgrove’s stats grow substantially. Think he was 17 finishing and heading for me by the time I finished the championship season and only cost £2 million. I was on the free download so didn’t get to see how he faired in the PL but I’d imagine have decent.

Downloaded the full version and resumed my season from the free trial. I’m comfortably staying up with two games to go.
Strangely, I‘v always seemed to be 10 points clear of relegation places but feel like I lose every week? There’s a cluster of teams at the bottom and the top 7 including Sheff Utd have pulled away. Now I could finish anywhere from 16th to the hallowed 8th place.
I honestly get battered every time I play one of the top teams apart from a 1-0 victory at home to Chelsea. Can’t seem to score at all. Sam Cosgrove has a decent return of 10 but goes long periods without scoring. Tyrese has been shite though seems to moan about his contract all the time.
Signed Eze, Jensen from Brentford and a Danish left back called Poulsen who have all been very good.
In fairness, I’ve been relying on a defence of BMI, Collins, Lindsay and a barely functional Shawcross. Any players for me here?
I was getting fed up of Billy McKinlay and naively fired him and replaced him with Gareth Barry. It feels like I’ve been shit ever since, will this have affected it?
My biggest problem is midfield. N’Daiye gets all the ratings but he doesn’t play well with anyone and Jensen is clearly my best player. Need to move him on.

My missus just put the demo on her computer because I'm doing her tits in Sold Diouf, Indi and McClean for 8m rising to 11m for the lot and 100k off the wage bill. Got Gomes in on loan. Got Olsson on a free so I'm chuffed with that. Got Jedinak on a free for one season because I've got sod all budget and can't find a DM for peanuts. He got injured in the first minute of his first friendly for 5 weeks. Twat. I need a striker because Gregory got injured too. How good is Troy Parrott on there? Seen Cosgrove mentioned above and I have got around 2m to spend so is it worth getting him in?

Parrot is a good striker but he is young so will be inconsistent

My scouting seems shambolic so that's fun. But I think a young un from the PL is the best and cheapest option. And maybe Cosgrove as well with the hope of getting rid of Gregory permanantly.

I've got 150k a week to play with on that side so should be doable. That's my plan tbh after reading this thread

Naci Ünüvar is a great LW to start with in the Champ, I sold him for £50m three seasons later.

Seen Cosgrove mentioned above and I have got around 2m to spend so is it worth getting him in? Yes, 100% to Cosgrove. I sold him for £20 million after three seasons in the Prem and he’d scored one in four as a target man. I’ve just won the league in my sixth season in total - find a way of playing two up front and sign Jensen from Brentford would be my top level advice.

So far I'm only in pre-season and have gone with a 4231 with Powell behind Vokes but will try to have a 2 up front system too.

Campbell has never done it for me in any save ive done Vokes has been my best striker in most saves but usually gets injured come xmas so i get Gayle in to finish the season off. Taith Chong from the Shit is a must to get on loan

If you can recall Woods from his loan do it he is great on this game as a defensive mid

You should be able to pick him up for peanuts in the first season. It’s your game but I honestly can’t recommend going for 5-2-1-2 (attacking, gegenpress) more, especially for when you inevitably get promoted. It suits the players so well and you create loads without seeing much of the ball. Just put Edwards and Tymon on training for the wing back positions. Andreas Poulsen is a cheap and good LWB alternative for backup but Tymon is a full international eventually.

He got 21 assists in one season, is he any good in real life?

He got 21 assists in one season, is he any good in real life? I'll try that, Brentford got promoted too though so may make it harder. I got promoted via the play offs. No one big scorer really. Ince and Verlinden got 10 each. Vokes 12, Cosgrove about 8. Best signing was Martin Olsson for left back. I'm worried about how good my side will be in the PL. Signed Jean-Philippe Gbamin from Everton who looks a bit of a beast and that's what I need in midfield. Amin Younes for the left wing to compete with Verlinden. I think I'm going to use Etebo on the right. Sold Wimmer for 11m and got some young Serbian CB in who looks good. Angel Gomes in on loan again. Edwards and Collins should be able to make the step up if their ratings in the Championship were anything to go by. Rejected bids from Burnley for Edwards of 6m. Shall use Woods too, he was class in the Champo. But yeah overall I'm not too confident about keeping the squad I have assembled up Got new owners too. And they had the audacity to threaten me with Eddie Howe replacing me for a good 2 weeks until they changed their mind.
