I'm still playing FM18, where I am relatively happy with the level of player interaction that I am forced to undergo. Generally players are easier to talk to and they don't fly off the handle for no real reason. You do get some positive/negative reactions from the squad at times but its not over the top and it at least makes sense. I owned FM19 and loved the training overhaul, but hated the constant requests for new contracts and temper tantrums when they didn't get their way. Year by year I have seen these get worse, press conferences get more tedious and other nonsense creep in. This means that I haven't gone beyond the demo versions of FM since FM19, which is telling all of itself.

Interestingly, my first FM18 save used a 4-2-3-1 with Mata playing from the right as a creative winger, Pogba as a SV (A) from deep and Matic in the midfielder strata as a BWM. Very similar concepts to what you are talking about here and it created some fantastic football at the time. I only dropped it as the patches were released.

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony! You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!! Never too early for some Monty Python. Though this mandate from the masses is how we got Boris, Truss and Trump so maybe some moistened bint lobbing a Scimitar has merit.

Followed up with some Coldplay and Keane.

Going strong even in real life!

IIRC you were playing in Brazil in FM18 and also trying to get a SV working well without attributes.
