Tullekunstner Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) I've stuck with FM 19 this last year since I've had to focus my attention on other things than FM and didn't want to get hooked all over again. Well, now FM20 is free, so obviously I had to give it a go and make my first save with LFC (as I always do). I just won the Community shield comfortably 3-1 (with two goals from Minamino, one an absolute beauty where he dribbled from behind the halfway line, past 3 defenders and calmly slotted it in goal). Ready to get the season started. As far as transfers go, I'm going for an 'slow and steady' approach with no major changes in the first window. Of I had to do some wheeler dealings though: Transfers out: Chirivella (£2,6m + 600k), Lovren (£18,75m) and Lallana (£25,5m). Transfers in: Ruben Dias (£38m), Rayan Ait-Nouri (£9,5m) and Jude Bellingham (£18,5m + 6m). Still looking for a forward/winger, either someone like Sancho who holds higher quality than the current backups, or someone younger with a higher ceiling who I can develop and who can take over for the current trio when they start to slow down with age. If the right deal doesn't come up, I don't have a problem with waiting for January or next season though. I'm open for suggestions! As for tactics, I got a pretty standard slightly modified gegenpressing 4-3-3 + a secondary 4-2-3-1 with slightly more focus on keeping the ball while still maintaining a high press. edit- btw, does anyone know what Van Dijk's rating is for professionalism? I currently have him in a mentoring group, but if his professionalism is low I'll have to rethink that. Sadly my FM is on Epic games, so no editor Edited September 20, 2020 by Tullekunstner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the right deal doesn't come up, I don't have a problem with waiting for January or next season though. I'm open for suggestions! Well, my January transfer window is now done. When I saw Barca had interest in Shaq, I pulled the trigger on Sancho to have as an rotation option with Salah & Mane. Bought him for £83m + 15m, sold Shaq to Barca for £41,5 and Ox to PSG for £45m. Felt I was lacking a bit in options up top and didn't really have the players to switch tactics to my 4-2-3-1, so towards the end of the window I payed Lautaro Martinez' release clause of £96m. Budget depleted and I'm happy with my squad. Done really well in all competitions so far, comfortably topping the league, won my CL group as well as Community Shield, Super Cup and Club World Cup. Don't have a lot of plans for the squad right now besides wanting to bring in Florentino Luis. Also don't want to inflate my squad much beyond 25 players (which is the perfect size imo), so if I am to bring anyone else in for the first team, I'm looking at Minamino, Origi, Matip and Wijnaldum as players I can manage to do without. No rush to sell any of them though, as they've been great squad players so far (in Wijnaldum's case, pretty much a regular starter). I've brought Elliott and Hoever up from the u23s and my plan is to develop them in-house. Might send Elliott out on loan, but Hoever is definitely staying as backup for Trent/Gomez. Squad: Transfers: Competitions (reached final of Carabao cup against Everton as well): Tactic #2: Edited September 22, 2020 by Tullekunstner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullekunstner Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 About to go into my second season, changing my main tactic to 4-2-3-1 and going to keep the 4-1-2-2-1/4-3-3 as my secondary tactic. Done a bit more transfers now, especially outgoing. One of my main priorities has been to improved the quality of my attacking backups. Obviously Lautaro and Sancho did a lot to remedy that, but with switching to a 4-2-3-1, I'm still lacking a bit of depth at AMC (considering Firmino is my main ST backup). I also wanted someone left-footed to make a more like-for-like to rotate with Salah. The answer was simple: Bernardo Silva. One of the best players on this FM imo. Model citizen with 18 determination. Impeccable workrate. Great finisher and super creative. Can slot right in at both the RW and AMC and can be a great mezzala when using my 4-3-3 tactic as well. His wages were expensive (£250k) and he cost me £120m, but imo he's well worth it. Will take an important role in mentoring my younger players as well. My only other option really was Zaniolo, but when Silva wanted to come it was a no-brainer tbh. So what about outgoings? Well, Minamino went out on loan to West Ham for 100% of wages + £150k a month. Looking to sell him next year. Grujic went to Hertha for £24m, Clyne to Bournemouth for £17,5m and Matip went to Arsenal for £59m. Matip was my fourth choice CB behind Dias, Van Dijk and Gomez, so that's good money imo. Marco Kana will come in as backup, hopefully he can develop nicely. Grujic and Clyne was never in my plans to begin with. Ojo, Awoniyi and Ejaria are all getting sold, Wilson went on loan to Sheffield United. Hopefully he can gain some value and be sold for a nice profit next year. Current Team GK: Alisson (Karius, Adrian) RB: Trent (Gomez, Hoever, Fabinho) CB: Van Dijk / Dias (Gomez, Kana, Hoever, Fabinho) LB: Robertson (Ait-Nouri, Gomez, Milner) CM: Henderson / Keita (Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Milner, B. Silva, Bellingham) CAM: B. Silva (Firmino, Bellingham, Wijnaldum) RW/LW: Salah / Mane (B. Silva, Sancho, Origi, Brewster, Elliott, Bellingham) ST: L. Martinez (Firmino, Origi, Brewster, Salah) So I have a pretty big, versatile squad. Maybe a little light in defense and a little heavy in midfield. Still have a month left of the transfer window and about £100m budget left, so there's still room for getting a signing or two if the right deal appear. As for outgoings, I'm just going to wait and see what happens. PSG is sniffing around Firmino, but as far as I can help it, that's out of the question. Either way, I'm happy with my squad as is.

Whether or not they will appear in an FM21 save is probably down to luck of the draw. RB to cover Trent unless Williams gets a boost. Even then, I would be inclined to bring in another.

Always found Ionut Radu a good back up on FM20 so will be worth a look on 21 if he's still at Inter. CB is a must. depending on finances at the start i might even Sell Matip and bring in 2 CB's (pity the bitters got Godfrey irl) i would expect Williams to get enough of a boost to his CA to be decent back up Midfield. i think i'll try to bin both Gini and Ox in the game. Ox is too injury prone and Gini in last year of his contract. could sell both and get 1 in to replace. up front. while i think we are relatively ok i will 100% be looking to replace Bobby with a genuine goalscorer.

But, with Thiago, he would struggle for game time and, as you said, he is in his last year. CB is a frustrating one, especially with Hoever gone now too. Godfrey was always one I tried to get, as was Gvardiol. Matip is good, but I do feel we need better. Whether or not I would get someone to start ahead of Gomez or not would probably depend on who is available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gvardiol was always my go to youth prospect as well. may have to look at Quaresma now. Glad Szoboslai didnt leave salzburg as he's my main CM/AM target. think the hard part will be meeting the Homegrown quota for the first couple of seasons. will need to maybe downgrade a couple of positions to have english back ups. from whats in the squad now Trent, Gomez, Williams, Jones, Elliot & Hendo are the only ones i see lasting beyond the first season for me.

Yeah, I am currently playing with an update (not totally up to date, but fairly recent). Including reserves, I only had 5 homegrown players over the age of 21. Doesn't help when you have to register 8. I ended up registering Trent and Max Aarons, plus Ward-Prowse who I had also signed. Had to loan out Grujic and not register Karius to be able to do it though. My plan is to get a homegrown sub keeper and leave Adrian out too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLC Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Hi! I'm start of first season and need some transfer advice. We've sold Lovren and Lallana and Origi went out on loan (to get rid of his high wages for a back up) and so far I've brought in Jota, Tsimikas, Milenkovic and Esposito. I'm rather pleased with those transfers, I like to keep it rather realistic first season regarding transfers. However, with Origi gone we only have Esposito as back up to Firmino and although he has great potential I'm not sure he'll be ready first season and was thinking of getting another striker. I have 69 mil euro to spend and 338K/w wages left in the budget. Was looking at both Dybala and Martinez as possible targets but doesn't feel so realistic and they'll be star players rather than rotation players for Bobby. Plus that would strain our economy a bit to much. So I was wondering if you have some tips on decent strikers, not to expensive, not star players, but who are ready to step in and do a good job when Bobby needs a rest or if he's injured? Thanks. Edit: I miss Danny Ings..! Edited October 15, 2020 by RLC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often use him as a lone striker, DLF (s), with PI's 'close down more' (along with all of my front line). My current Liverpool save is the first one in several months so can't say exactly how he's been playing but as far as i remember, and so far this save, he's doing ok but not scoring that many, and a few assists. But in my tactic, as well as irl, he's not supposed to be the main goal scorer but someone who puts pressure on the opposition defense into mistakes and then my wingers/CM's score goals.

I didn't have enough players to fulfil the "homegrown at club" quota without registering an u21 so I ended up leaving out Tsimikas which upset him. The second is Firmino. He doesn't score or assist, but still has a good game. The press are starting to get on at me now about how long it has been since he scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLC Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Having some trouble with Virgil van Dijk first season. Season is going well, 1st in the league after 9 games (8-1-0). However my ass man told me VVD didn't like a few of my team talks, even tough no one reacted badly to them (I think it was that I criticized Mané after he was terrible a few games). Then it said under VVD's 'happiness' (on his player profile) that he 'Opposes the manager despite good support overall from the dressing room.' And now he's fallen out of his social group (I think he was in 'group A') and is now in 'others' (with Minamino, Adrian and Hoever).

Season is going well, 1st in the league after 9 games (8-1-0). However my ass man told me VVD didn't like a few of my team talks, even tough no one reacted badly to them (I think it was that I criticized Mané after he was terrible a few games). Then it said under VVD's 'happiness' (on his player profile) that he 'Opposes the manager despite good support overall from the dressing room.' And now he's fallen out of his social group (I think he was in 'group A') and is now in 'others' (with Minamino, Adrian and Hoever).

I’ve never had this problem before on fm, something I’ve noticed on all my saves since last update. Also worries me that VVD fell out of his social group, hopefully iaf we keep winning it will get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staf9 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 First impressions of the squad on FM21 Bit like real life - Need a CB cover. VVD is not injured at the start but think both Joe and joel have high injury proness. dont think the PA of any of our youth will be high enough to develope into first team candidates midfield - look to sell Gini to boost your finances and allow for a younger buy. Jones looks very promising Attack - try to bin Origi and Taki. we really need another option to rotate with bobby and someone who can score lots. Obviously Haaland would be the choice. if you can get decent fee's for the other 2 then 69mil release clause could get him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deffo going to need at least 1 CD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz13 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Ox and Shaqiri were the only long term injuries in my 21 save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siven Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Once again several Liverpool coaches have two jobs, which lowers their 5 star coaching rating. So make sure to offer them new contracts with only 1 job to get their full coach rating back. Alex Inglethorpe David Rydings Andreas Kornmayer Peter Krawietz Paul Squires Jack Ade Tim Jenkins Seems to be all the staff members with 2 jobs.
