The small stories that make the game

As a returning FM player, last played 17, it's not until I dived in did I remember all the small details I had been missing that make this game so immersive.

I'm currently on a golden run with York City, from the Northern to the Championship at the moment.

In the National I bought two young centre backs, Akin Odimayo and Timi Odusina, and had wanted them to develop together. By pure chance they're both Nigerian nationality, not planned just they were the two best options in that window.

I'm so pleased with the results!

Both are still first choice in the Championship. Both are each others best mates.

And the thing that makes me smile every time it happens for the loveliest of details in the game, is whenever one is mentioned in the press or I praise one of them, they BOTH react to it. Every time.

It's the kind of realistic fist bump relationship you'll never see in other games. Makes this kind of tiny club to major force game that much more interesting, realistic and entertaining.
