Mr_Demus Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 My best save ever was taking Hereford to the PL on FM16 (IIRC). Might look to achieve that again, when the full version comes out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger With A Hat Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Still re-loading waiting for Thurrock. But now I have a loading side interest in Iran getting a result against Argentina in the WC on the 24th. Best result so far is a 1- 0 win to a Messi Pen. Anyone spied a Iran win?

Unfortunately I am not sure I will participate this year, seeing my beloved Chippenham got promoted last season. It feels like cheating if I choose another team. But good luck to everyone in the same boat, been so many years that i have played them i cant cope with the idea of playing as another team. Might have to just watch from the bench this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside Down Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Bilericay feels a bit like cheating when I have players like Konchesky and Pennant in the team. Overall the team should be getting promotion in the first season it is so strong although I might be able to muck that up. Going very slowly, still in preseason and getting in players as I learn all the new features in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefinitelyTaylor Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Shaw Lane interest me after they dumped us out of the cup, Lancaster too as they're local... Farsley Celtic are a bit of a throwback club and I have a good friend from Witton so those would probably be my choices. Going to do a few reloads to see if one pops up, if I can't get any of these and someone else has had a bit of luck, I would appreciate if you could send me the save file.

I have Farsley Celtic on a game if you want it. Loaded only the English leagues, large db and the only extra players are the ones from the tiers below conference regional.

Peter G Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I have a question. My long term FM save involves managing Canvey Island who are two divisions below the Conference South.

Edwin_Poon Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Enfield Town - 22nd - Relegated Got sacked with 2 games to play having failed to beat the drop. My excuse is that I havent played full flavoured FM in a few years (I played FM 'classic' in FM16). Lessons learned - need to be more patient in scouting out and trialling new talent! Tactics - what are people's tips with this? Does it help to tinker around or just stick with 442 and wait for the team to gel? Meanwhile, resurrected myself as manager of Tonbridge for the 2018/19 season... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Oof, I'm really struggling to find any sort of form. 16 league games, 2 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses. Second to last and currently on a 5 match losing streak. Not looking good for me so far. I'm usually doing much better than this, but I'm very unsure if it's the tactic or the fact that I have a poor rating in the "dressing room atmosphere" or something else. I might turn it around in the next match though as I will play the only team behind me, at home even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
