Hi @Kyle Brown Just go through the save for a few days and this will happen Unfortunately, I don't have others saves to provide you guys

Anyone tries a save with GOAL FC (3rd tier) ? That's another team close to Lyon Seems interesting this year

I assume a few tweaks might be done

Hi guys, There are severals topics regarding this issue in the bug tracker, may be you should post your examples over there guys

I'm not sure he will make it to so quickly May be later in the future

TACTICS If you want to stick with Gattuso's vision, then 4-3-3 is the way, with gegenpress mentality There is also a good alternative to explore imo with 4-2-3-1, this will allow your #10 to shine, you have good physical midfielders to hold the area All the best for your stay in Marseille !

SQUAD ANALYSIS Goalkeepers PAU LOPEZ Easy for the GK as you have the same players Pau is still your number 1, and bear in mind that this year it's important to have two good GK available as it's possible for them to get injuries in match RUBEN BLANCO Now a permanent deal, decent back up Transfers Recommandations: You will need to strengthen this area in the future, some French young GK could be interesting Defenders Centre Back MBEMBA Still a great player for you, reliable lad But as an African player he could be unavailable for the African cup in January To consider for your future transfers MEÏTE (on loan) Last move of the summer as it's been a swap with our former defender Isaak Touré Nice rotation option, African as well, so might be missing in January as well BALERDI The Argentinian is still at the club, can improve slightly Good option GIGOT One of the nicest surprise last season, Gigot is really reliable with a great mentality A starter Transfers Recommandations: These CB's are ok for a 4 defenders tactic, if you want to play differently you will need to invest, no left footed option at the moment in the team, to consider Fullbacks Right side CLAUSS Your best option, French by the way Assist for fun, he's already 30 y/o and he's running out of contract in 2025 Don't wait too much to renew his contract if you want to keep him MURILLO Joined Marseille this Marseille from Anderlecht He's decent at most, you will need to work on the transfers market for this weak area once again Left side RENAN LODI The full Brazilian international joined the club this year from Atletico Your starter for the spot, and your only natural option for the spot You might havre to use SOGLO from your reserve team to get a back up Transfers Reccomandations: As usual, Fullbacks is a concern, your priority for investments Midfielders VERETOUT A reliable option for your midfield Especially as he's very capable in passing Your best option for set pieces as well, important for this year version of FM Should start a lot of games OUNAHI Joined the club last winter after his really good World Cup with Marocco Still young and has room to develop Interesting cover But once again he should be out for duty in January KONDOGBIA Great addition to the team Just arrived from Atletico this summer Defensive minded midfielder with solid physical attributes A starter RONGIER After Payet departure, he's now the club captain Really versatile and useful player as he can work well for a lot of positions in your midfield And he can provide a nice cover on your right flank in case of injury crisis Useful team player with good mentality GUEYE The Senegalese is unavailable because of a FIFA ban until mid december His contract is running out in 2024 Might be a candidate for a departure asap Transfers Recommandations: Players on their 30'S, even if they're good, you will need to bring some fresh blood shortly Attacking midfielders Right side SARR Former Watford player joined the club this summer Really capable on both flanks His pace is a really good tool to use for your team Senegalese international, he should be missing in January as well Left side HARIT Deal is now permamnt The Maroccan international is a good option for the spot He can be really good as a #10 as well Homegrown player, but will be missing in January as well... Central NDIAYE New addition to the team, joined the club from Sheffield this summer The full Senegalese international is a really good option upfront Has a better impact in a central position Once again, will be out for international duties in January... Transfers Recommandations: You need to bring quality in these areas asap Strikers AUBAMEYANG Well, the former brilliant striker has been released by Chelsea this summer Obviously he can offer something upfronyt But his age and most of all his salary are a real concern To offload quickly as he's only a short term option for you VITINHA Transfer record last winter The young Portuguese still has to show his quality in Marseille He did not prove anything so far But he is your best option upfront, especially if you want to use his agressivity CORREA (On loan from Inter) The Argentinian is a striker, but for more taste he will be more than useful on the wings, lire IRL actually You can buy this player at the end of his loan, or if it's hopefully it's fixed before the release there is a mandatory 13M€ fee if you qualify in Champions League Good option for this year as he will be providing depth in the attacking department Overall recommendations: Have a look to your young teams, you might have some good options in some specific positions, the club lacks of homegrown players

Welcome to The Olympique de Marseille thread 2024 Founded in 1899, the club plays in our beloved "farmers league" and have spent most of their history in the top tier of French Football . The club has won ten Ligue 1 titles, ten Coupe de France and three Coupe de la Ligue. In 1993, belgian coach Raymond Goethals led the team to become the first and only French club to win the UEFA Champions League, defeating Milan 1–0 in the final, the first under the UEFA Champions League branding of the tournament. In 2010, Marseille won its first Ligue 1 title in 18 years under the management of former club captain and France icon Didier Deschamps. 13 years without any titles is far too much for such a club After a complicated summer where Marcelino was in charge for 2 months, you now inherited Gattuso's fighting spirit among your ranks, would you be good enough to match the club objectives ? Stadium If you take in charge Marseille you will discover the wonderful Stade Velodrome, fully renovated in 2014, you now have a breath taking place of 67.354 fans which are going to help you to win ! It's obviously the biggest stadium available for a French Ligue 1 team so far, but you will have to be good enough to fill all the empty seats that the stadium used to have in the last years...and Marseille fans are really tough to convince so be smart ! Your facilities are also excellent, and will need few improvements Board expectations and club vision The board wants you to achieve a top 3 finish, as usual, PSG will be the favorite for the league tittle, but you'll have others teams to compete with, and especially Monaco, they don't play any European competition and their team is really good, Nice is also a good performer IG, so watch out Be aware that this year Ligue 1 only has 18 clubs instead of 20, so you can't drop a lot of points Your match fixtures will be quite easy for the beginning of the season, so you need to make a lot of points This year I feel like the squad is not as competitive as last year, you have some weak areas to strengthen, but you will easily identify what you lack of You will get 8M€ available, and no wages left at all Fans Expectations At least you know which are the matches you should not lose Kits ALLEZ L'OM

Nice is a really good team in my saves as well They were 2nd during the first season too All the best for you future success with Lyon !

In a simulated save until 2030 There are several transfers above 100M€

Same issue in one of my Marseille save Lost my 2 main GK during the summer, with the exact same injury (broken arm) while catching a ball during a match

Can confirm that the automatic clause won't trigger Just uploaded the save on the cloud Joaquin Correa contract clause.fm

De Gea is still available on a free Low wages

Hi Bati, Thanks for your input Noticed that as well IG But in the DB we have the two options available as well clauses wise I did not complete a full season with Marseille so far, so I'm going to see if the CL clause can be triggered at the end of the season

I feel like the game is quicker actually

So simulated till August 2030 so far Here are a few observations: -International management: Starting XI of National Teams are not as old as we experienced in the past and newgens are breaking through A few examples: England starting XI is averaging 29.81 y/o in 2030 France starting XI is averaging 28.27 y/o in 2030 Argentina starting XI is averaging 28.36 y/o in 2030 Brazil starting XI is averaging 25 y/o in 2030 That's a good step ahead On the other hand international Managers are still something weird as the names picked to handle big teams is something curious... Transfers acivity and AI team building First of all Saudi Arabia is an important actor of the market, as big names are joining their league every year for big money, like we saw irl this summer AI team building, use/rotation of the players seems to be always weak, Chelsea squad is terrific from this pov as lots of players are not loaned out, are not playing at all, and they ended up released It seems that hot prospects are not always being developed pretty well by their clubs, may be something related to their reputation Competitions Dominance Champions League football is dominated by PL teams, English clubs lift all the trophies from the first season till 2030 (City x4) In France and Germany, both PSG and Bayern won all the Leagues titles France and Italie lifted the last 2 World Cups, England lost the two finals France and Spain lifted the last 2 Euro

Currently 4 seasons in Will post a recap in the week end as i want to hit more seasons

Did not manage at this level atm But I would like to feel a big difference as well between elite football and lower leagues

Hi guys, so far a few observations after playing in July and August with transfers disabled First of all, the game seems to run very smoothly, I mean the processing time seems quicker than FM23, and it's appreciated ME is the fluidest I've ever experienced so far in FM, you will now have different types of actions from your players, they're smarter on the pitch and that leads to a new variety of goals and movements which is refreshing and closer to reality Set pieces are a new area which according me, needs time to understand and if you want to master it, it's important to take your time, but it could be game changer so it's a nice feature for me so far Gegenpress seems to be really effective in this version once again Also have a side save running to understand in the future how players are developing, especially for the National teams, same for the AI team building on the transfer market Cheers guys

Currently holidaying for a couple of seasons, will let you know what’s up

It's happening
