@rusty217thanks for the reply. He started at least 2 games in the Nations League at left back, perhaps they count as friendlies.

I'm not very knowledgeable about international management and registrations, so what I have seen is possibly perfectly normal but thought I'd check. One of my recent intake players at my Welsh club came through as Andorran (born in Andorra) with Portuguese as second nationality, as it fairly common in Andorra. He played a few u18 games for Andorra and then represented the national team five time (including in the Nations League - not sure if this is relevant). Anyway, he seems to have gained Welsh citizenship now too and has just played for the Welsh u18s. When I look on his information page it still shows he has u21 and full caps for Andorra but also says he is eligible for all three nations still (i.e. not declared for Andorra). Is this normal? I had a look at the Andorran national team and there is one 20 year old who has about 25 caps who is only eligible for Andorra but it also does not say (declared) after. All of the other players I checked had (declared) after the name.

That's cool. I've never really looked at how these small changes actually impact on the in-game descriptions.

It sounds like you're doing the right things, well what I would do at least, to bump up morale. I guess you could try to add some team bonding the day before a match as that can apparently help, but praising conduct, training etc. is part of my gameday ritual now too.

Ouch. So you know whether those rules are realistic? If they're not then defo worth raising with the head researcher.

I can share mine. You would also need a filter I use to take player data out of the game. It's written in Excel2007, I'm cheap!, and has one small macro but this can be worked around if you want. It's reasonably complex but should be manageable if you're ok with spreadsheets. It includes an automated .Inc name generator which is handy for this challenge.

Cardiff Corinthians - Season 2037/38 Review (s16) This was another successful season where we won the league and welsh cup, and finished runner-up in the league cup. We had to sell our star player (Bolger) to Espanyol but were able to maintain last seasons strong form. I managed my 700th game at Cardiff Corries this season. Our intake potentials are not great, and current abilities / attributes are a bit mediocre and I am considering knee-jerking and finding a new HoYD if there is any decent alternative.

Yes, I suppose so.

You need to have been managing them for a minimum length of time, perhaps a month? At least that was the case on FM22

@The Gold Guardcool write up. Puts my efforts to shame!

Romania should be fun. Pretty sure the lowest league is non playable like in Norway and France and stays that way throughout, so you takeover one of the teams promoted from that league at the end of the first season.

Thanks mate. I've spent way too long playing with infographics this week!

Cardiff Corinthians - Season 2036/37 Review (s15) I've joined the infographic party! Season 15 was a very successful one for us. We managed to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League for the first time and even managed to beat Anderlecht twice in the group to secure a 3rd place finish. This meant we went through to the first knockout round of the Europa League where we met Fiorentina. Unfortunately Fiorentina were just far too strong and we lost on aggregate. As you'd expect, we made loads of money thanks to qualifying for the CL group and the couple of wins we managed, so our finances are really healthy. ....... and we also welcomed our first Andorran academy graduate this season (i.e. matching the manager). I have a feeling he will become the next Ildefons Lima of the Andorra national team. Competitions - Domestic Competitions - Europe Players Youth Intake SUMMARY

Yeah id say the second one too, but they both very good. What did you use to create them?

'a real golden generation' apparently

That's a shame. I had a fun save in Slovenia. Maybe Inter Bratislava in Slovakia. Iceland is fun too.

Ouch. If it's any consolation, he would have probably been a Resolute personality after 12 months

I've noticed that on FM22 doing exactly the same as you. I export the player data to create the names for the .inc and notice that the DOB in game is now different to that shown in the export. The visible attributes, personality, position etc. all matched.

Record breakers! What this save has taught me is that Cardiff Corinthians don't have many fans

Rather than playing I have been messing about with free infographic sites and have cobbled this together. Anyway, time to play some FM! For anyone interested, I made this on Adobe Express (free).

@the_hdkright, nicking that idea too

I saw you're earlier question but couldn't read the text in the link. Also im not sure if this relates just to FM23 (i'm still on FM22). Unless I'm mistaken you should see an immediate reduction in balance for both facility upgrades, while the coaching and recruitment are essentially increases in monthly operating costs. Junior coaching would be paying for more/better junior coaches and recruitment would be paying scouts of juniors (at least that's my take on it). I'm not playing FM at the moment but I think there is an outgoings row for academy or youth costs, or something like that. I think that one should reflect youth spend.

And @Braumillerhas just raised the bar again. Who knew I would learn what an infographic is this week and realise I need them in my life! I was checking out some of the free sites and am looking forward to trying to create one of my own. They are such a great way to share the key info. I think my writeups will be one liners from now on.

Mate, you've just raised the infographic bar. That is amazing, no need for a write up anymore
