I've seen some say the no work permit unlockable hasn't carried over.

Have I a problem on my end or is cloud gaming not yet available for FM24?

Portugal. One of the big 3 and a bit teams always has that season to deny you.

Team of the year after 30 years: Just two are not playing in England and the age profile is into the 30s. And to complete the 11 the best player in the world so says the game. He started out at Basel and plays for Manchester City Finally these are the best players in 30 years of the gameworld by average rating

I went ahead and holidayed to the 30 season console limit and below was the final coefficient table top 15 Not being loaded didn't bother Spain and especially England who had a stranglehold on the continent. Germany Italy and France all gradually fell away and have been stuck in the pack for the last 10 years. Probably no surprise that the Portugal and Dutch league were best placed to take advantage of this. Belgium with their youth production probably not unexpected too however the rest remained firmly behind the traditional big 5 leagues. Greece made inroads thanks to AEK having a massive tycoon take them over. Liechtenstein have Vaduz and its tycoon takeover to thank for its position. Guaranteed European football each year and it took full advantage getting to the latter stages each year including one final but they lost it so failed to once see the Champions League. They finished top of the Swiss league on a couple of occasions and claimed the title of champions but its not officially recognised. So not loading the big 5 has little effect on what became the big 2 though the others did fall away. Most of the active leagues also had one team dominate them unrealistically with many 10+ titles in a row and RB Salzburg in particular winning the Austrian title 30 times in a row in game, longer if you include real life. Rangers dominate in Scotland and Celtic are without a title in a good 20 years. I've a feeling an explanation here is that with the smaller leagues able to do better in Europe its a case of who gets the Champions League money recycling those funds and dominating their rivals as a result. The Champions League final only once had a team from outside the big 5 play in it. They had sporadic appearances in the semi finals only though quite a few made it to the quarter final stage. English teams grew to dominate it with often all English finals, The lesser European cups had a bit more variety. In the next post I'll put screenshots of the final world team of the year.

Enjoyed a save with them in FM23. Won the league somehow in the first season with them, was harder going after that as Charleroi are a bit behind with facilities.

I hope so as I like to play at least one save old school. As the season goes on they might become less attacking against you and you lose some sources of countering goals as a result.

Bring back the days when Chinese clubs briefly threw big money at you.

Happy to see some new training features to flesh it out a little bit at least. Might help with developing players.

Not being able to use Maritimo makes some sense but why are Portimonense PTM or whatever it is rather than just using the city name Portimao?

Anyone playing the beta come across any unannounced license gains or losses from FM23?

Not really been firing the game up recently so going to speed up as this iteration of the game closes up soon, on gamepass at least anyway. Skipping a year this is the situation going into the 33/34 season Portugal and the Netherlands have truly joined France and Germany in the rankings. The coefficients are really bunching up generally. The English league remains well on top as regens start to take over. This is reflected in the reputations where 2nd-7th are getting very close to each other now. There has been no surprises in the Champions League.

End of the 30/31 season Portugal had a stinker while the Eredivisie continues to steadily improve. The German league really struggling. Shout out to Liechtenstein..... PSG went on to defeat Manchester City in the final. Porto are real competitors each year.

End of the 29/30 season Dutch putting pressure on the French and German leagues. Real Madrid beat FC Porto in the final

End of the 28/29 season Chelsea beat PSG in the final Portugal continues to be the one interloper with the big 5.

After the 27/28 season Quarter finalists of the Champions League Champions: Manchester City

I'm on console and wondered what might happen if i don't load the top 5 leagues in Europe but 10 of those below. Would they be gradually taken over or hold strong? If it set up an interesting premise it might make for an interesting save world to manage in from the start. I'll post screenshots of the co-efficients and reputations of the top leagues at the end of each season. The first breakthrough happened in the 26/27 season so I'll start from there Portugal have inserted themselves but the reputations of the big 5 hold

END SEASON 2028/2029 Worst season of the save points and position wise with 7th. We lost out in the European qualification playoff to PSV. We beat Midtjylland in the Europa League League playoff but were beaten by Wolfsburg in the last 16. Feyenoord had a harder time of it with Arne Slot gone but still won the league. Nijmegen the surprise package. Best 10. Stuart Smith came of age. Huisman again what can i say? Bobson did well, an academy product. The intake was bad bad. Brodersen and Biereth won the Scottish League again but nobody won big enough competitions again. Player Score Mika Biereth 93 Victor Brodersen 25 Million Manhoef 18 Kossi Diallo 18

SUMMER 2028 PLAYER MOVEMENTS Players In Kiankaulua cost £8.75M from fellow Dutch side Cambuur. He was bought with the intention of Diaz covering the striker position as well as the attacking left wing. He has brilliant potential and though he has no knowledge of the right wing he can well play there as a straight up winger I'd imagine. As a quiet transfer window came to an end this talented 16 year old was picked up for £1.2M from Vejle Boldklub in Denmark. Lots of room for improvement for Thomsen. Players Out My grand plans for covering positions fell apart when Anderlecht hit Esteban Diaz's transfer clause of £26.5M on the 6th of September. While our transfer window ends in August the Belgian one goes into September. So for now we'll just have to make do. In the winter we might seek a striker for the future with the money from this transfer. The preferred starting 11 so far this season is so:

I disagree. Never felt I had to use them. The only codes I've used in game are those earned through playing.

END OF SEASON 2027/28 Back to third, just beaten into it by Ajax. But with a drop in coefficient it's only worth the Europa League now. What do you do with a problem like Feyenoord? Goal machines. We defeated Hadjuk convincingly only to be drawn against Manchester United in the last 16 of the Europa League. We surprised them 2-0 at home before being butchered 5-0 in the 2nd leg. 10 of the best. Fabio Silva was way too good for this league and probably single handedly dragged us to nearly 2nd place. Stuart Smith however should hopefully push on from his few games with us since January. Amrani had a good season but broke his leg before the last game. Young Lee Rogers from Luton is shaping up to be a monster. Huisman never lets you down in this league. Nice intake. Mika Biereth won a double with Celtic. Kossi Diallo won the Europa Conference League with Everton. Updated score below, still no 4 star wins. Player Score Mika Biereth 68 Million Manhoef 18 Kossi Diallo 18

WINTER 2028 PLAYER MOVEMENTS Players Out It's been a busy winter. Brodersen left us for £16.25 to Celtic to join Biereth there. A sideways move in league but a bigger club and better facilities. He wasn't the only right back to leave with Tabi Manga leaving for 7.25M after several years at the club. Borussia Monchengladbach his destination. They weren't done with us also buying Mohammed for 11M after he made massive improvements this summer. Left just as he was handed the DM spot as his. The 2027 European Golden Boy winner also left us. Otero went to our league rivals Ajax. They have far better facilities than us and gave us £24M so we relented. Players In We paid £6.5M to make Thomas Kurz's loan permanent after he impressed. Other than him... Shenanigans from Ross County meant we couldn't get this Stuart Smith in August but we continued to harrass them and picked him up on loan from January with a deal to buy him in the summer. The total cost between loan and transfer will be £12.75M, higher than the £8M we thought we got him for in August. With Fabio Silva having no interest in joining us after his loan, Smith will soon be the starting striker. Luan Ferreira joins for 6M from Atletico Clube Goianiense as a Mohammed replacement to back up the DM position and develop from there. Could also play right back. Our reach has found South America. Ozgur was signed as a right back replacement. Where Ferreira could play in the right back spot Ozgur could play in DM. Some flexibility within the team. He cost a cheap 2M from Stuttgart. Casal is a left back we found playing for Valencia B and bought for £13M. He also became our highest earner and has immense potential though his wage disappearing from the budget won't be lamented. The Dutch Cup is a hex on us as we slid out early again. We are about to play the Playoff Round of the League Phase of the Europa League against Hadjuk Split who happen to be one of our feeder clubs.

SUMMER 2027 PLAYER MOVEMENTS PLAYERS OUT Predictably Diallo went. He rejected quite a few suitors before joining Everton for his transfer clause of 24.5M. Vitesse's biggest sale since Wilfried Bony to Swansea several years back. PLAYERS IN Tronsted left us on a free leavng a spot in midfield for a very young and aggressive Lee Rogers who cost 6M from Luton. He'll start. Tom Leopold came from Schalke for 1.2M to sit in the wings. Something of a gamble but a cheap one. Thomas Kurz joins on loan from Stuttgart. He'll cost 1.2M on loan with an optional buy of another 6.5M if he plays well in central defence when he gets the chance. Decent potential. Fabio Silva joins on loan from Wolves to take up the daunting task of following Diallo. We had another player in mind but Ross County pulled out of the deal late and Silva was our backup in case of failure. We are working on a deal for January for the other striker to compete for the spot. The loan just costs us half his wages and has an optional fee of just under £1 Million should we wish to continue with him. The starting 11 for now:

END OF SEASON 26/27 After no major transfer activity in the winter we had the worst season since the first, points wise, but we're in the Europa League once more. Feyenoord being squeezed gradually by Ajax. We were knocked out of the Europa League at the quarter finals by Mainz. Mainz went on to win the competition beating Ajax in the final. Had Ajax won we would have fluked a 4th Champions League team for the Netherlands i think. Top 10 guys. Diallo was a monster. 33 goals in 33 games in the league. He only missed one game. Having already won European Golden Boy he won the Golden Boot in the league, was top goalscorer in both the league and the Europa League. He was also top of the NXGN in the world. Otero and Diaz are growing into something special too. Brodersen creeped into the NXGN this year. Diallo was also the Dutch league young player of the year and we filled the 3 slots confirming our commitment to develop youngsters for greater things. We're a bit slower producing our own from within. I'm off to probably sell Diallo now. Summer update will be next. While our bingo cards remain untouched two players have finally won something while at their clubs for at least one year. Mika Biereth won the Scottish League with Celtic and Million Manhoef won the Portugese Cup with Benfica. So we start our little league. Player Score Biereth Mika 25 Manhoef Million 18

SUMMER 2026 PLAYER MOVEMENTS PLAYERS OUT Our only player of note to leave. Yusufu thankful for our help makes a move to Aston Villa for 10.5M. His value now treble that immediately. PLAYERS IN We've been busy. First obvious in was a young talented keeper. Theo Sander cost us 5.5M from Aalborg. He a big lad but can move better than you'd think. Denmark has been well scouted. Broderson has some work to do as our new backup right back. But he is hard working, can run all day, can cross, and also defend. He was 6.5M from Midtjylland who knocked us out of the Europa League last year. After the success of Diallo we return to our feeder club, Beerschot, looking for more. Davids was bought at a cool 8M and is probably the first real risky purchase. However he is a very intelligent player who has the potential to push on. He'll be back up left back for now. 5.5M from Vallecano, Otero is ready for the first team already at a young age. He will challenge Huisman for that most forward center mid position. Absolute handful to deal with on the pitch. We wanted a new up and coming back up to Spileers in the defensive midfield role and for 3M Mohammed came from Leverkusen. He will need to become a better passer of the ball. While we were putting out feelers for a new goalkeeper Alhassan was said to be having issues at Leipzig. For 275K we took him on to impress for the future for little risk. The preferred 11 for the start of this year: A couple of players will likely have suitors in the winter. Tronstad must feel ancient but i find a lot of games go down the drain when he's not playing. Him and the captain Meulensteen are the fathers of this team. We once again failed at the first hurdle in the Champions League qualifiers and once again it was Benfica who done us in. One day! Europa League again this season.
