I've just started a save on FMT - whilst there were some things I would prefer remained in from the full FM game, I am enjoying the more streamlined experience overall. It has been! Good luck with your FMT save Kev, who are you managing? It's definitely a good experience once you get used to it. 8 hours ago, OTron said: A couple of really good players in that last intake. Hopefully they can fire you into the playoffs! Could the tide be changing in Leiston? After 30 years? 1 hour ago, Pompeyboyz said: OK Braintree and St Ives in the VNN now Cheltenham to Braintree to St. Ives, Braintree is another border club that switches between VNN & VNS. And here's the VNS table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 cents would be to push for training facility upgrade as you seem to have a lot of talent in these kids but they struggle to fulfil it. Have you got good coaches?

Earnie is God! Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I don't get it. Each season you are expected to be in a relegation battle and each time you keep them clear of it.
