Thinking of signing Maddison but not sure how to get best from him and Fernandes in the same team, anyone else has success with them both?

Scrappy end to first season.
Home to Arsenal in Europa QF second leg, 0-1 from first leg. Winning 3-0 at half time, battering them. They score in 83 and 84 minute and we are out. Stunned.
League form dreadful, dropping points everywhere and board close to sacking me. Just about get our act together to nick fourth from Chelsea. New contract offered but position still ‘insecure’.

I’m playing the latest update on a Mac and after I quite the game each time normally I get a dialogue box saying the game has quit unexpectedly. It’s not a major problem just annoying.
Anyone else seeing this?

I'm currently in March of the first season, third in the league and progressing in the FA Cup and Europe. I disabled the first window and following real life signed Fernandes and sold Rojo and Young in January. Probably going to cash in on Pogba in the summer and so my transfer/squad building strategy looks like this for the next two seasons....

Just about to start a new game. Are there any good links for real Premier League fixtures out there?

If you start a new game with budget disabled, are they available in January?

Does anyone know if there is an official update to reflect the January transfer window?

Hello,
I am having the exact same problem - same make and model of Mac and the same message. Did you find a solution?

This is nice. Its good to see someone with a similar train of thought.
I've made slight changes since my original post. I've brought in De Ligt and De Jong(both looking destined for Barca in real life, especially De Jong) as I wanted to, however I also brought in Fekir. Although he's not a natural RW, he has attributes to fill that role, as well as to play as both the AM and the CF when needed. I got quoted 232m for Bailey, and I also considered that I've got Chong and Greenwood coming through the ranks as well. I'm giving Rashford the role over Lukaku.Dangerous play here. Had considered Memphis' buy-back clause as a ST backup but Fekir made that pointless. Fred strikes me as a utility man. Able to come in and play any role in midfield when needed, so he's more of a rotational option for me.I also realised that De Jong is not a DM, and embodies the CM role I'm looking for alongside Pogba. Dier is the next player on my list next summer for the DM role.
I have a few questions about your save so far.
First, what's your formation?
Second, who have you managed to sell and at what price?
I've only sold Darmian for 15m(all pounds) but I've not managed to sell anybody else so far. I only received 2 offers for Bailly, valued at 15m and they were low-balling me, only willing to pay a max 16m, which I refused to sell for. No offers for Jones, Fellaini(new contract) or Lindelof, which is frustrating me immensely. I'm also inclined to let Mata leave on a free due to the signing of Fekir. He just seems so much better.
I’m going with 4-1-4-1 / 4-2-3-1 control possession but not doing very well - lost 3 out of first 6 games. Most of the squad hate me!

As a result of my intense frustration(which any United fan would understand) at the lack of quality(IRL), style, attitude and management of this club after Fergie, it has always been difficult for me to build a United save.
There are several players I believe, don't belong at a club of United's stature(and some I just don't like, usually for the same reason), and I always look to flog Darmian, Fellaini and Young off in my first season. Given my goal is always to build to the CL title, I'm also planning to rid myself of both Jones, Lukaku(need someone more clinical) and Bailly as well in the future. Bailly because, as I like my saves to be semi-realistic, he lacks the mentality and determination to play for United. I'm floating two ways on Lindelof. He's got amazing potential and is the BPD I need, but his poor aerial ability is a concern.I've also had massive issues selling English players, as I have a rule that should I sell, I have to promote another English player in the squad, or sign someone to replace them that is English; and this is generally gonna mean Smalling stays as my backup, and Tuanzebe becomes rotational.
I have an idea for the RW issue, and although his crossing is dreadful, I want Rashford to take that role, giving him regular play time every season. At RB, I'm gonna just throw Dalot straight in once he returns from injury. He was exceptional for me in FM18, and I'm keeping my faith in him.
I should mention I play a 4-3-3 Wide Formation, sometimes switching to a 4-2-3-1.
Players to sign: (Maybe need some tips on what you think here):
CB: If I keep Lindelof, I'm undecided between Skriniar and Milenkovic. This is a role I'm looking to also looking at to contain the leader in the team. Both players are high quality with good aerial ability, and can hold that defence for years to come.
If I don't see Lindelof as viable, then De Ligt is my one and only choice here.
LB: Shaw's fitness is an issue, so I'm looking at Ben Chilwell and Josh Tymon as next best thing.
DM: Matic hasn't got long left. I was deeply interested in Frenkie De Jong before FM19 came out as the kid has fantastic potential IRL, but I couldn't find any info on him in game. Otherwise, Dier is my first choice, Neves the second.
CM: May be a stupid decision, but I'd like to sign a second. high creation, dynamic CM to partner Pogba. I'm looking for something in a Xavi-Iniesta mould(Bad Example). Pogba being an intensely more physical Iniesta that not only create but also score goals, and the other CM one who sits just behind Pogba going forward and dictates the match, with incisive passing and great technique. Need help here too, as in FM18 I struggled to find a player to suit this role(Hence, also why I look at Frenkie De Jong). Rakitic is perfect but unavailable, and I'm not willing to look at Savic.
ST: I suppose, given I play without an AM, and have no plans to sign a RW, I only have Lukaku in this role. In FM18, I kept him after he hit 40 goals in my first season in all comps, and second only to Aguero in the league, blaming the chances missed on the ME(I mean 5 yard chances). Forwards of that quality are not readily available, and with that being said, given the lack of depth, I'll also consider shifting Sanchez in here and trying him out for the first season. If I flog Lukaku, then Cutrone and Icardi are my options. I'll also evaluate Alcacer, to see if FM gave him a boost for his incredible form for Dortmund.
Trying to make the prefect United save, making the right decisions.
Open for suggestions.
Your thinking mirrors much of mine with this United side.
First window I signed Skriniar and De Ligt as my long term CBs but Lindelof can do a job and can fill in really well at RB. I also brought in Tierney who will compete for LB right away. My long term back four of Tierney-Skriniar-DeLigt-Dalot is now in place.
Long term I want to replace Matic at DM and am also thinking one (or both) of Dier and Neves.
I am not at all convinced by Fred IRL but I will give him a try, but I like a genuine box to box player alongside Pogba. Herrera fits the bill at the moment.
Up front I’m open minded but I need to address RW in the future. My long term target at Leon Bailey and Federico Chiesa.
Lukaku might be sold if he doesn’t deliver as a line forward.
Oh, and I signed Gary Neville as assistant manager on a five year deal!

I like Dier,also looking at Ruben Neves,Wolves are 2nd bottom in my save so I might be able to get him on the relative cheap if they get relegated,also looking at Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon.You not happy with Lindelöf,Smalling and Bailly?I feel they are more than good enough in FM.
I like Neves as well, he was my DLP for any fantastic Roma side in FM18.
Lindelof is ok as a ball playing defender, though not as good as De Ligt will be.
Smalling lacks pace and intelligence, his only strength is heading. Plus, he only likes to play on the right, which is where De Ligt will be.
I’m thinking of this:
DCL (CD): Skriniar (5) / Bailey (3)
DCR (BPD): De Ligt (4) / Lindelof (2)
Smalling can stay for a season as back up, will then be replaced in the squad by Axel Tunazabe.

Have you thought about Dier for the DM role? Might be available in summer 2019.
I have just started a new United save. Sold Jones and Darmain. Signed Tierney, De Ligt. Also thinking about spending big on Milan Skriniar.

Won't sign a new deal for a reasonable wage, plus looks like he is off in real life.
