I won’t spam my post count about my silly Euro 2024 competition but here is the list of all 225 entries: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MLvrLyymtj515Pjj0UYaKLB85ZkEFSqx/view?usp=sharing And the chosen nations, ordered by group: You will see there are a number of duplicate picks, where multiple people have selected the same three nations. However, only two people who chose the same three nations also chose the exact same tiebreaker. So as long as Nicolas Gomez and Matthew Swift don't get the highest score, there will be an overall winner. If you do want updates (and can tolerate the Euros chat) you’re welcome to join the dedicated WhatsApp group where I’ll post the daily leaderboard: https://akr.st/lmbwa

24 hours to the deadline. 204 entries so far.

Are you definitely pressing CONFIRM when you delegate the responsibility?

I've created a 15 minute video showing you how to set up Football Manager 2024 to play a realistic version of Euro 2024 with all the correct groups. You will need to download the UEFA Euro 2024 Real Groups: https://www.fmscout.com/a-uefa-euro-2024-real-groups.html Put uefa_euro_2024_real_group_227215.fmf in your '\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data' folder. Start a new game with the editor file activated, and include either Finland, Norway or Sweden. Set the game to start on 01/04/2024. This is only possible if you have Finland, Norway or Sweden selected. When you progress to the Euro 2024 group stage draw, the groups drawn should mirror the real life groups. If you have any problems, let me know and I'll try to help. I've also posted this on Reddit here.

Thanks a lot. 83 responses so far. Could be very competitive!

Please go here to vote: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=_vFlV5R_-02ncOb04rPEH2aDH8B7iyVEhA7MtoqFTdhURVJBTVNFU1FQSlczOFBFN1U1NDVDVkpYMC4u You can vote for up to 10 players. I've created a shortlist of 18 players who can play as a striker and have decent fitness so can play as much as possible, and have low wages at the start of the game. I've not checked their current or potential ability. I will buy whoever wins the vote for a very good team (likely Man City or Real Madrid) and play through the seasons with them playing as much as possible, with the hope of the player winning the most prestigious individual award in World Football. You're welcome to check the player on your FM games, or on websites such as sortitoutsi or FMinside to make an informed decision. Actually, here is each of them on FM Inside: Lewis Darlington (Peterborough) Assane Diao (Real Betis) Jeronimo Domina (Unión Santa Fe) Ferreira (Arouca) Magnus Fjortoft Lovik (Modle) Mustafa Hekimoglu (Besiktas) Dusan Jovanovic (Partizan) Maksim Kalimullin (Flora Tallinn) Alexandr Khubulov (Dynamo Moscow) Hugo McNicol (Blythe Spartans) Harrison Murray-Freeman (Gibraltar Lions) Justin Oguntolu (Derby County) Moussa Seck (Rotonda Calcio) Atli Þór Sindrason (Þór) Nikolaj Sønderby (Vejle Boldklub) Harrison Thompson (Norwich) Stipe Ukich (Auckland City) Salim Yenpariye (Deportivo Aragon) Thanks to everyone who votes. I'll likely start the save tomorrow so please get voting.

What tactic performs the best defensively on the new patch? I wish to win leagues but concede as few as possible.

Is it an easy fix to put the positions bar on the squad screen to the top of the screen, above the squad list, rather than the bottom?

Awesome news! Reckon v3 will be the "final" version or will you continue tinkering?

So my friends and I want to have an online game where we each manage a team in the Championship, that we can jump into whenever we have time. Most of us have wives, kids and grown up responsibilities now so can’t just play FM all day everyday like we want to. I was thinking a ‘host’ manager could be unemployed and just have the game running all day everyday. I have a Plex server so my machine is on 24/7 anyway. Problem is, the host manager would never click continue. Then I thought you could have the auto-continue rule set to the max, which I think is five minutes, so he would proceed the game. However, that would also mean he would be continuing the game when everyone else isn’t present, ie set as ‘on holiday’ Ideally if all the other actual managers aren’t online, and set themselves to ‘on holiday’ the game would just pause. So basically if anyone who has a job is actually online and playing, they can play and proceed as normal. If nobody with a job is online, the game just waits. There’ll be about five of us wanting to dip in and out. It feels like what I want isn’t possible. The best solution is for one person to be constantly online, always playing, but that’s not a realistic option. So please can anyone suggest the best way for us to play like this?

Not sure what's happened there but my silhouettes disappeared for a while but are back! Thanks anyway. And I meant in this bit (but during the match as it's been played):

Have players without a downloaded face purposely not got the default silhouette on their profile or along the bottom during a match? I noticed staff without faces have the silhouette, but players don't. Also is there a way to show disallowed goals on the events during a match, where it shows goals and missed penalties etc?

Do you know why the position/icon sometimes disappears above players heads during a match @keysi? See Bohan Dixon:

Yes please!
