bigbeezer Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hello folks, Well my addictive personality has kicked in and now i need to know everything about FM before i fling myself into it. I will be ordering a new laptop in the next few days and i need to know everything i can about the game. What are the best books? Podcasts? You tube channels? What would be considered a good average rating for a player over the course of a season in which leagues? what would be considered a good number for certain attributes in different leagues? I just want to educate myself with everything regarding the game. I look forward to your suggestions, Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 1 hour ago, bigbeezer said: What are the best books? Podcasts? You tube channels? A lot of personal preference there really. Some are very fun entertainment, while others are very instructional and educational, and there are a lot of various in between there. Quill18, LokiDoki, WorkTheSpace, Dr Benji, GoldenFM, Zeeland, Lullujo are some that come to mind while there are probably a million more (and I am certain I have forgotten some big ones!). 1 hour ago, bigbeezer said: What would be considered a good average rating for a player over the course of a season in which leagues? Depends on expectations, really. A 7 can be great for a team battling to avoid relegation, while only decent in a clear title winner. In general, I'd say anyone can have fun with FM, and the only real requirements are a basic understanding of football. If you want to learn stuff I can also recomment Bustthenet on youtube. Other than that you'd need to ask more specific questions, really! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download Steam and log into your account, then you should be able to download and install FM from there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddieos Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) I would recommend the following mods: - Realistic Transfer Preferences - no more Italians in Scandinavia or Americans in Russia - Alternative Youth Rating - keeps nr of superstars in the future to the same level as today (otherwise a 300% increase) - Smarter AI Managers - increases the difficulty so depends how challenging you want it to be - Better Crowd Colours - Awards Overhaul - Media Overhaul - 100 Youth Tournaments All these can be found in this forum: https://community.sigames.com/forums/forum/834-editors-hideaway-download-forum-fm21/ From Nik33's Data Pack I recommend Career Plans, Partnerships, Relationships and Generic Changes: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2297098605 Finally, if you want to be up to date in terms of squads, staff etc you can download Darkness Data & Transfers mod, v4: Oh, and real names fix of course!
