Cheers mate. Nice to have a few of the old EFL thread stalwarts around.
I'll be back in there soon. Waited for the new patch for a Vale save. They usually don't last very long when I realise how bad they are

Have just caught up with this after not looking for a couple of months. Great job you are doing, I especially like it how you are going for a pretty realistic Southampton like approach aswell. Solid team you have built and you have a great shot of winning the league this season, best of luck!

A big struggle to find, looked high and low, would be miles better if I had reports to look at
Im also struggling to get an Inside forward to score from the left side, regardless if I go short- direct or slow to high tempo, garnacho is completely inefective down the left, once I stick him on the right as a winger or upfront, he's a new player all together, it's so weird. Might have to see how rashford does up front.
You tried Tammy? I got him for 21m and 100k a week in Newcastle save

More RAM wouldn't necessarily make an impact for FM, but if you can afford to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB it probably isn't a bad idea for general use.
Fair enough, how about a gfx card? I wouldn't even know where to start looking.

I have a laptop with the same CPU, and having tried FM on it you can't play 3D at max settings. Start from medium and alter things from there.
In terms of file explorer, is your storage a SSD or a hard drive? If it's a hard drive, that could be your answer. Otherwise, I'd make sure all your laptop's drivers are up to date.
I'm 90% sure it is an SSD.
I tend to run everything on low for the 3D match engine. It runs okay till I've been on the machine a while.
Is there anything else you would recommend, adding more RAM or a dedicated graphics card?

Hi folks, hoping you can help. I have had this machine with these specs for about a year and have no real intention on changing it. However, it can be a little sluggish running 3D matches at times and (for some reason) slow at opening up file explorer?
I generally use it for FM, watching TV and browsing.
Any advice you can give that would solve the Explorer problem and maybe help FM run a bit more zappy. I am happy to pay for upgrading this laptop but obviously not paying through the nose.
Thanks

Second season was very similar to last year, the same points in face. Luckily though, this was enough to get us into 2nd place! We were never really in a title race but I am very happy with runners up. We were knocked out early in the Caribao Cup, last 16 of the Champions League and in the semi final of the FA Cup.
We spent the sum of £233 million to bring in Dedic, Tammy Abraham, Bardghi, Zaniolo, Pavlovic and we added Diogo Costa to this in January Guido Rodriguez came in on a free transfer. We sold the likes of Dan Burn, Dybala, Jamal Lewis, Ryan Fraser and then Lucas Perri in January.
Cracking seasons from both Isak and Abraham, who rotated in the lone striker position well, scoring 50 goals between them. Todibo was top of our appearance table, Isak our top scorer and Barco was our top assister at just 20 years of age, he will be a hell of a player. Tammy Abraham was top of the average rating chart.
Spoiler
Two massive signings to bolster the side for next season. Victor Osimhen joins us on a free transfer when his Napoli contract expires and Joao Neves, one of the best midfielders in the world already, at 20 years of age joins us for £35 million, rising to £60 million. Another £200 million given to us this year hopefully allows us to compete in Europe this year.

It was a close call but we made it back into the top 4 in season 1. £215 million to spend in season 2 so I think a massive overhaul is on the way.

10 games to go, where do we finish?
Not the easiest run in

Will have a look into that possibly @Ronaldo Beckham, we have been flat track bullies mainly. Whenever we have played anyone in the top 6 we have failed. Currently 7th in start of Feb so praying I can have a good end of season so I don't get sacked

Just bought FM24 and started my welcome save with Newcastle. Nice to finally see a thread for the Toon! Currently in January, through to CL knockout phases but only 8th in the league so a good spend in January is much needed!
League table as shown above. Was going really well till a tough run of fixtures at the end of November.
Transfers in thus far, Sarr come in to cover but currently got a bid in for Todibo after Inacio chose Arsenal. Dybala been injury prone as heck so far.
Transfers out. Perri came in to replace aging Dubravka. Murphy, Longstaff and Targett the only other major outs.
What tactic are people working on for Toon? I am playing a 4-2-3-1 DM but can't help but feel I'm not getting the best from the team. @thebigfella how are you playing Gordon? He's been injured a lot for me, had a lot of injuries so far.

Anyone who has played in League One tell me how my team Port Vale are looking this year?

Carry on my FM21 save

Oh my goodness, what a career thread to read, I am genuinely in awe of all your updates, layouts and tactical thoughts. Amazing work!
Do you find yourself getting bored at United yet, ready for a new challenge?

Some very nice signings and arguably the best job of at all, keeping hold and signing Toney to a new contract! I see a good season ahead, best of luck in your first Champions League campaign!
1 -
What a fantastic season. Please don't beat yourself up about the cup final, that injury crisis came at a really poor time for you!
To finish the season how you did, with key players out is a testament to how well you have done. Unlucky to not go the extra little bit to bring home a trophy. Champions League qualification is massive, hopefully you get a sizeable budget that you are able to improve the team both with quantity and quality.
Best of luck with a very important transfer window!

Wow, brilliant season so far. Hopefully you can oust Liverpool to gain a well deserved piece of silverware. It looks like you are in great position to get a European spot, best of luck in May!

Will be following this with intrigue. Toney looks hit and miss for you at the moment, hopefully you get him firing soon. January, I would imagine is massive in how your first season will pan out.
Best of luck!

That's a cracking start, looking like a real good foundation for you to build on for championship life!

Big Kev <3 I've only just now got rid of him, he was with me at Sheffield Wed for about 6 years and has followed me through the FM's it seems.
Should have kept Pope as a mentor
0 -
Yayyyy, Vale, but with a twist it seems, very interesting! What did you do with Tom Pope, if got rid, you must try and get in as staff at some point!
Did you make the changes in the editor or sign them?
Love the kits, I do have some alternatives that I made quite a while back with the normal colour scheme if you wanted them at some point? Hope this save keeps you going a good while, best of luck @Jogo Bonito

Great win in the derby, cannot be better than that.
The Ederson story is a surprise, I never know that was in the game. Or do you have any added realism files? In any case, it's a nice idea if used sparingly. And I imagine they would only do that for a newgen as there would be all sorts of legal issues otherwise.
Have been watching the BBC secrets series. It's been both shocking and unsurprising (certain there was much more that went undetected in those years). So much of it could have been avoided if people had been taken seriously at the time, but the culture of the game and people at the clubs was so different (wrong) back then. There are some clubs that I won't ever be interested in managing ever again, no doubt about it.
Nope, it is in fact in the game now. Is a similar sort of thing to how there is personalities that can only be attributed to newgens, ala Unsporting.
That BBC secrets series sounds very interesting.

I thought the FA Cup semi was at Wembley no?
Great progress and it sounds like it maybe in your hands, although you haven't been getting 3 points regularly enough to be title challengers, must be a poor points year? Ah well, take the success where you can!
Best of luck and get that update in soon
