phd_angel Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I play a minion club in the Premier League, so I've been recently clicking automatic simulate match when playing against the big ones (Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc.). Sometimes I can draw, and even an upset win at times! (It even feels that my Assistant Manager does a better job than me... I always click auto results in friendlies...) Do you ever use automatic results in league games? PS: Automatic resolve is not available in vanilla FM. You'd have to use a customized skin...

Andros Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 There are some people that like to play the game as a DOF. So they handle transfers but hire an assistant manager to be the real manager and leave lots of things up to the assistant manager (training, the games etc). then they sim games. it is another way to play the game.

DarJ Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 some people do that when there is nothing to play for anymore during the season so the game goes faster 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't do it in the PL, but as a lower league manager, I frequently find myself running away with a title half way through the season, so just IR the rest. As such, I often spend more hours in pre-season than the last 6 months of the actual season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearesporting Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I do be tempted for pointless league run ins. Then I remember there are tactical changes I want to try and youngsters I want to blood so I do that instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 For anyone who hasn't used IR but is thinking about it - when left in the hands of your assman, they do really dumb substitutions, so don't use it if the result matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andros Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 if you want to play people in a new position (to gain experience there) or play a younger player, then they will often get subbed at half time by the ass man. The ass man also is really unlikely to sub on youth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered what types of changes my ass man would do when I'm away, such as, do they keep the same mentality and formation, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerfan Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I’ve sometimes found my assman leaves players in even though their play has been terrible and he hasn’t used all 5 subs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 All the time - I play up to 50-60 seasons. I'd be a thousand years old watching all the games. I watch games against minnows/meaningless games. Sometimes I've won the league in start of April so don't bother watching anything from then on except cup matches/champions league.

Conardo Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) I want to be able to yell at my players during the game. That's why I watch all the games.... Edited February 27, 2023 by Conardo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmf1488 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I only do it when there is nothing to play for. Sometimes the league is wrapped up and your trying to get the season finished. You got to pick the team though. As someone else said the AM does stupid things. You tend to get more injuries because they play non fit players and run them into the ground. Protect your important players if simming games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
