This is a good point and is a reason why squads are so important in France, every other week I have 2-3 players who are suspended. 

Good start for you, keep it going!

Thanks, I have a decent back-up CB and a really good youth prospect as replacements....I would suggest removing get stuck in if anyone is using this.....

You just like yellow kits 

A good start, certainly tight at the back!

You could be on to something there 

Solid at the back, just using wing play tactic and pressing, I think in lower league football the press is so much more effective as the quality of player means they make loads more mistakes....here's my starting XI, really nice balance to the team....didn't realise it was only 3 yellows for a ban....

Lasme has been nothing short of amazing up top, played him in the cup and he got a brace, hasn't come out of the side since and his potential has already gone up 1/2 a star

Welcome and good luck with Sochaux. Until their relegation a few years back, I believe they had the longest unbroken run of top flight seasons, but have found it hard to get back up there. 

A nice choice of club. You have already mentioned one of the players I signed up myself.

Thank you, really enjoying the challenge of trying to balance the books, bringing in the youth, whilst staying competitive and using players I've never even seen before on my saves............

So I'm near the beginning of the season and have had an OK start...

I'm trying to free up the wage budget and used most of the transfer funds available to beef up the wage budget, I've brought in a couple of players that are both prospects and first teamers in the guise of Bubacarr Kebbeh and Justice Amate an 18 year old Ghanaian right winger liked by my scout...he will compete for the RW spot straight away.

I've transfer listed 4 players who were not really in my plans, managed to sell 1 for 57K plus add-on's.

I;ve got nothing in the transfer kitty and 1.5K wage budget room.....hoping to sell Mehdi Jeannin for around his value of 450K and Sloan Privet for 400K which will also give me nearly 5K back in wages a week...couple of teams interested but no bids yet.....I felt I could move them on as I had two great youngsters ready to be around the first team and these players if not listed would actually harm their development..

Long time lurker and really late to FM this year (started playing when lockdown started), finally decided to sign up and post....

Got very bored of my Rangers save so decided to have a go in France after seeing this thread and the saves you've all got going.

I decided to go Sochaux in Ligue 2 and will mainly look to bring youth through and sign French and African players only.

No room on the wage budget and some highly rated youngsters only on youth contracts with bigger teams interested is certainly making my start interesting..

Will also look to end a few loans ASAP to free up wages and enable me to bring up a couple of youngsters..

Got my two scouts scouting Senegal and Ivory Coast, already found Brahima Outtara and they had knowledge of Kebbeh, I know these are popular but I have never managed them as they are usually not in the DB. So they will certainly be my first targets...just gotta free up the wages...I'll look to post some images once I'm through the first season....
