I get a bit triggered looking at all the players available and thinking that there are so many that I don't know who to sign and I don't want to go through all of them. So once I decided that I would only sign players with double-barrelled names (ie Ward-Prowse, Wan-Bissaka). It certainly makes it more interesting at lower levels. I did include youth players coming through by adding '-Youth' to all of them to make them valid players.

2031 and I'm at Championship Stoke City who haven't been in the Premier League since 2018. End of the season and we've finished 4th in the league and won the Carabao Cup, qualifying for Europe.
Board are now very disappointed that I haven't satisfied one of the club's objectives by not growing the club's reputation?!
It is so annoying.

Anything odd going on with country rankings for UEFA Champions League ? After the 1st season, the ranking gets all messed up with countries like Austria, Azerbaijan, and so on at the top of the ranking. Is this due to the new UCL format ?
I do not have any custom files that would have an impact, only player legends.
Thanks
Got it on alphabetical order by accident?

Enjoying the update mostly, the football I'm seeing is better but I've moved clubs and gone up a division so the players are better quality. Some of the goals and general play I'm seeing are superb.
Some points I've noticed:More injuries for sure. A lot of training injuries including serious ones of 1 month out plus.
Players get very tired during the games, but probably no more so than before.
Maybe not more offside goals than before but I've noticed strikers often run yards offside and so they look awful when they 'score' from being so offside. There are sometimes a lot of disallowed goals but often the whistle has long gone before a 'goal' is scored so to me that's not a problem.
I've not really noticed a lot more woodwork being struck, but if it is it's flicking the top of the bar or outside of the post.
I'll be polite and say the goalkeepers are unpredictable.
The UI is still clunky, set pieces I've given up getting people to stay where I want them to go, and there are odd things during games like a header from a corner is described as 'a fine move' but I am enjoying it. Maybe that'll change if I lose 5 in a row but for now things are good.

I'm seeing an increase in injuries but they're mostly between games. I haven't touched the training settings.
Also seeing many more penalties it seems; we miss 3/4 of ours but they don't.0 -
8 games since new patch, only one once and I've dropped off top of the league. Don't know what's happened but we are a shadow of the team we were.
Also we've had two players sent off for straight reds in that time (7th and 11th minutes) whereas none in the previous 30 odd games of the season?1 -
Noticed this a couple of times, I've got my team on 'stay on feet' to try and cut down on cards and free kicks conceded, but my Ass Man says "We're simply giving away too many fouls and could benefit from a little more caution" and it suggests removing the stay on feet instruction. That doesn't make sense to me?

I've just been advised that I did not make the shortlist for a job I applied for. "This is mainly as a result of your slight reluctance towards making set pieces an important part of your approach"!
Do I have to click 'plays for set pieces' now on my tactics to broaden my job suitability?!2 -
I'm sure it is my tactics but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.

I don't fancy their chances with that squad...

I'm old and struggle to think of Christmas presents my long-suffering wife can get me. This is ideal so I'm guessing I will get this just before Christmas and start playing after when I've reached a suitable place to finish the previous save.

My second best CD asked for a new deal, I agreed as it only had two years left and he's been good for two seasons. I've never played with Wide CBs but he's demanding that as a locked in demand to sign the deal. I'd promised to give him a new deal so have to include that, fully knowing that in 6 months he'll kick off about not playing there. Stupid.

Yep, it's a legal requirement that release clauses be given in Spain.
Ok thanks, that would explain it.

Bought FM22 just before Christmas and am slowly getting through my first season with Athletico Madrid. Somehow I assumed we'd have a lot more money than we actually do and so I am struggling, 5th in the league with 10 games left but miles off the top 3. I just draw half my games. Anyway, the youth intake has just come through and it looks pretty decent, but all the top 3 (1 x 5 star potential and 2 x 4.5 star) won't negotiate a contract without a minimum release clause. Basically if another club wanted to take my 3 potentially World Class youngsters from me, I'd have less than £35m to show for it. My scouts are recommending players at C- with much less potential than that at £50m+ each. Is this something that others have found? Should I just scout newgens from across the leagues and hoover them up if they have low release clauses?

Topical ; "The next Billy Wright". He was a great English player yes, but he retired in about 1959!!!

So I have been asked to provide a team for a testimonial for one of my former players. As you can see, he has had a stellar career.
I really hope you haven't been waiting 15 seasons for a sell on clause...

Pretty sure that is the rule - you can't "substitute" a player who isn't on the pitch.
My bad then - I should have got him to just lie on the pitch for two minutes until the game ended and we could have legitimately subbed him.

Hopefully FM22 will not have the issue I've just had in my FA Trophy game. In injury time and a player goes off injured, I've used all 3 subs so can't replace him, but we can make a 4th sub in extra time. However come extra time I can't bring on a sub to get us back to 11 players, I have to replace an existing player.
Unless that is actually the rule, which seems pretty stupid, can they fix this?0 -
Not sure about my Performance Analyst if he thinks my mid table National League side are evenly matched with top of the Premiership Man City?

I've only been at the club for 6 months December - end of May (season started in early April) and as you can see, he has got a load worse. As the "total collapse as a footballer" did suggest.
I will take over training, but tbf I'm not sure what two days training a week is going to change?

I've recently started a new save in the lower reaches of Swedish football, looking to build up a club by only developing youth and signing 18 year olds or younger. I quickly got the sack from my first role and started the second season at Assyriska BK in Second Division West. I'm struggling again, but the biggest issue is that all my players are having serious drop offs in their stats. Not just the oldest, but all the team that I inherited and even some of the young ones I've just picked up. This guy is my best player and I've never seen this ('total collapse as a footballer') of someone who is only 27?! He's had no injuries or anything
Obviously our coaching is poor, but it's half way through the season and part time players shouldn't be tanking like this. He is an extreme example but all my players are getting worse, from the back up guys who never play to the ever present players. More worrying is the new signings who I'm banking on improving over the next few seasons who are getting worse not better.
Anybody any ideas to halt this?

Bored now. Just seems I have to work so much harder to score a goal then my opponents. Surely the if you build a side and tactics to dominate games, out-pass, out-possession, out-create, out-xG you expect to do well. I don't expect to win every game, but this season has just been too annoying.
Just finished 4th in the EPL 4 points off top. Had a goal difference of +31 (81/50), but if I'd been up with my xG I'd have had +44.32 (85.49/41.17). Arsenal, who won the league, scored 68 (xG 65.52) and conceded 43 (xG 40.44). So we should have scored 20 goals more than them and conceded 1 more; unlikely to lead to finishing below them.
I created 53 CCC, Arsenal were second with 40 and the third placed team only got 33.
Oh Arsenal beat me 2-0 in FA Cup Final (xG 1.92 / 1.02 in our favour).
And I lost on pens in CL Final v Zebre after drawing 0-0 aet (xG 1.66 / 1.00 in our favour).
Now I know I can't rely on that for each game, but when it seems so arbitrary, what's the point??

He didn't play for Exeter after beginning of Feb 23 after being arrested and charged with assault. As with others in a similar position he disappeared from the game following the update after the transfer window.
