Solid start to the season that mate. You seem to have a nailed on tactic, something I'm struggling with early days!

Pre Season Round Up 2019

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/htbJZ8Cr848q4s1OA2eRgVz8EzJGfkKFNySOHb1E.png

So having finally got the full release after what felt forever playing the 'beta' and then waiting for SI to fix the hidden attributes bug, its time to get this one in full swing. I've loaded a huge range of leagues, most of them on view only so I can keep an eye on whats going on around the world, but the top 5 countries are all playable (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) with all leagues from those countries loaded in. The game commenced 'early pre season' England time to allow me the longest preperation time possible.

The board expectations are a great place to start. Following my meeting with the board, this iw what has been outlined for the season and seasons ahead. The club want me to develop players using our own youth system which could be difficult early on seeming our facilities aren't all that. This season, we have to finish in the Playoffs of the Vanarama National League, whilst also aiming to reach the First Round of the FA Cup and the Semi Finals of the FA Trophy. With my contract expiring at the end of season one, its going to be very important we hit those objectives. We must clinch promotion to League Two by the end of the secon season and then the next few years is all about re establising ourselves as a football league side.

There were plenty of transfers already done at the club, in and out, before I even took the reigns. Any transfers from the 1st July onwards are ones dealt with by myself or my assistant. Tyrese Francois (will add screenshot later) was first to join as I seeked to raid the loan market to try get some slightly higher quality players into the club. The versatile midfielder should be a great addition here. Islam Feruz was the only other transfer that I dealt with this summer. The man, once of Chelsea, is only 23 years old but looks an absolute steal for this level. It'll be all about trying to hold on to him and get the most out of him. John Mehmet, John Jones and Jamie Payne were all transfers done by my assistant before I turned this feature off due to us already over spending on the wages. They're all younger players but with the right development could be key players in a year or two at this level.

May of went a little "too" over the top for friendlies this summer as I tried to get my tactics implented as early as possible, whilst also trying to play some bigger teams to garner some extra income. 15 friendlies played over my first summer in charge saw us win 7, draw 1 and lose 7. A couple heavy defeats, most noticeable that to West Brom which we lost 6-1, expectedly so though. Man United beat us 3-0 whilst we gave Arsenal a good game, losing out 3-2.

The board have twice failed to find me a parent club thus far in, I always feel its key to get one as soon as possible to generate some good loan deals without having to pay for them. I'll continue to request these as we go through the season. On top of that, they have denied me my first coaching qualification, saying we can't fund it right now despite having over a million pounds in the bank balance.

I remember a similar issue in FM05 or possibly CM03/04 where attribute distribution had been incorrectly tweaked by an SI patch and a save-game-compatible hotfix was released changing the attributes affected. For the sake of those who've started their long-term save, I'm hopeful it'll be the case here too

Yeah I'd like to hope there was a hotfix for those already started. But hopefully by at least posting it some people may decide to hold off and with it being such a big bug fingers crossed it'll be quickly sorted.

Morning guys and girls,

Just be aware if you're planning on starting a long term save/journeyman type save, there is currently a rather large underlying issue that SI are looking in to, however a fix is very unlikely to be made which will work over your current save, so I'd suggest postponing the start of a long term save till this is resolved:

Yes mate, it'll work on all versions.

Perfect, I'll give it a download later and see if it'll be alright with screenshots without looking too 'out of place' if i need to do two screenshots to fit a whole squad in for example it may not work very well. but worth a look.

Now thats a late blow from Aldershot! how frustrating as that would of put you just a goal outside the playoffs rather than 2 points! Great month though, really starting to look like playoffs is a possibility this year,.

@Dan, at least you're good in one format ha, my team aren't great on either.

I'll have you know we're second in the National League and can go top with our game in hand

A great way to bounce back that mate, whilst the table is tight making use of it.

Our first really bad performance and it had to be against @Dan's Yeovil Town. They really put us to the sword in this defeat and I think it's best to move on from this as quick as we can.

God we're good, on the game at least!

Cracking start mate, I always find there isn't 'too much' in terms of difference in quality between the national league north/south and the national league itself!

@Dan, Cheers mate, now we're at a level playing field ha! Yeovil lost in the second round of the playoffs after finishing 2nd in the league! I'll be playing them next season.
(out of interest, are you doing a Round the World save again?)


There is no plan for a around the world trip this year unfortunately. I dont have the same sort of time as I use to so want to focus on the yeovil one and that may eventually turn into a travelling save once I've got yeovil to where I want to take them

Mate you're flying through this which is great to see! And so good to see you've started your first season in charge in full swing! Playoffs secured but that top spot has to be the aim I'm sure!
