#726648 Player selection for easier games

On your tactics screen, press the arrow next to ‘Quick Pick’ and in the drop down ‘Manage’ it allows you to save selections. I often do this with bigger sides and have my best 11 and maybe a Carabao-style team too

#726647 LLM Questions - Loan Reports and Release Lists

Just a quick one - looking for a bit of help.

 

I've started my first LLM save in a while and just been promoted with Darlington in the first season. I remember a while back on FM you could get a ‘loan report’ from a club to see who you might be able to get from them out of the youth teams etc - is this still a thing? Or is there something else I can look at?

 

Similarly, the list of released Youth players, is there a way to see the full list (you get an overview of top names) before they're all let go, or do you just have to wait until they appear on the transfers page as gone?

 

Much obliged for any answers

This sounds pretty cool as the potential for the fanbase must be huge? Given it'd be the whole of Ireland!

Hey how do you loan out players and get the feeder club to pay there wages. It seems they never pay wages for loans anymore

 

Sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the usual process for your feeder clubs is that they don't pay wages as they're helping you by giving your players game time etc

Hi All

 

Just wanted to share a bit of my own blog https://kierencoaching.com/ where I write about coaching, ongoing football matters and I'm currently sharing some of my Masters Dissertation on developing leadership through your football coaching - which features coaches from a host of Premier League and Football League clubs and (somehow) PSV. Some of the players mentioned include Jordan Henderson, Jack Grealish and Jacob Ramsey.

 

As a long-term member/staff here, I'd love to share it with you lot and I'd welcome any feedback on the site and the content too - you can also follow us on all socials with the same name!

 

Cheers 

 

Kez

Good start here mate - though tough I'd imagine that Pompey and Sunderland are keeping pace with you! Be interesting to see how you deal with a promotion if it comes. I always find that jump into the Championship the hardest to deal with - even if you've only been down there a year!

Good luck with this. I feel like LLM saves are way harder now than they used to be!

Hi. This should be under “Staff Responsibilities” wither in the ‘Transfers’ or the ‘Recruitment’ section. Forgive me for the being vague, I don't have the game in front of me at the mo!

All the process you've described in the last paragraph is useless if you have a rogue config file somewhere pointing to an empty (or incomplete) folder, as I suspect may well be the case.

Put up a search in your graphics folder for "config.xml", change the view layout to details and sort the results by folder path. This way you may be able to see if there are any apparent duplicate folders.

Cheers for this. Did a search for the files and found that a lot of my config and FMF had somehow moved into my trash which I imagine is some sort of weird consequence of my laptop updating overnight

Appreciate the help!

Hi Guys

Had a weird one today when loading the game up. For whatever reason, the large logos aren't loading in my game but the small logos, kits and faces all are and they're in the same folder. This is what it looks like:

Would welcome any thoughts, so far I've cleared cache, reloaded skin, restarted the game and completely uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics and it's brought me back to this point

Cheers

Great start to this, did a save with these a little while back and really enjoyed it. Real soft spot for JP Fontaine because of it

What on earth happened in that Spurs game?!

Really turned the season around at the end of last season and mugged Leeds off with the CL steal. Been a good read so far mate!

Currently playing as Newcastle, the entire team immediately are fuming with the mere suggestion that we can stay up.

Good start.

Same here and then I went on to lose 5/5 so maybe they were right. Deffo thinking of a restart over the weekend 😀 A mate of mine is 4th after 28 games and I now have to either question my ability or his honesty

What are people finding is working/not working so far?

I'm keen for some form of joint venture.

BETA is supposed to be released tomorrow (or so Twitter rumours say)

Hope you're right, that would be the normal '2 weeks before' wouldn't it? Usually, they've been a bit early but probably trying to nail this one given the added attention since lockdown

I'm down for a joint challenge or something, though can't guarantee playtime atm

Probably Newcastle for me, just to learn a little bit about it without having to worry too much about which players to pick as I've pretty much got an idea of what I want to do. Once we're in the full game I quite fancy a shot at Le Havre or Shakhtar - a save I haven't done since about FM15 properly.

Hope it's tonight!

After some 12 years, the current circumstances have led to a group of old friends starting a network game again. It's only been a couple of days but we're moving without any issues, other than the odd disconnection due to shitty internet. Thing is, we had to play the game completely vanilla, i.e. without any editor data files and the real name fix as it was proving tremendously long to connect with the host. Other than that, pretty smoothly I have to say.

That's one of the things I tried, removed all of the editor files etc and we just kept getting stuck. Not sure what's happened there. I was so excited about it too. Do you think there's anything else that could clash? Surely not graphics?

Will everyone else need to be vanilla too or just the host? (me)

Hi Guys

Has anyone had much success in getting a network game going? Me and a few friends used to have them regularly up until about 2012 and decided to start one last night but couldn't get beyond the same date each time we tried - even when we created a new game and did it again.

I think this is one piece of the game I've never managed to have function properly in recent years and wondered if anyone had any hints, tips or ideas as to how to set up and get things working? Or better yet, let me know if it does work or you're having the same problems!

Thanks

That's one hell of a talented squad to start off. I see they finished 3rd last time out, how far behind were they and who were the top 2?

Season 3

Well! Who saw this coming? Season 3 you could probably say was a success? We fell to pieces in the last few months of the season, turning an 8 point lead in January into 3rd position by the end. HOWEVER, we managed to take the CdF title and the Champions League, defeating defending Champions Liverpool on the way in a crazy tie and then somewhat beautifully beating PSG in the final with an 89th-minute screamer from Bakayoko.

Not sure what to do next, I kind of like the idea of sticking around for this weird season with WC2022 in it (I haven't got that far this FM!) and I'm half tempted to sell a lot of my squad an bring the youth through. We'll see... although I can't see me hanging on for the Club World Cup we've just qualified for in 2025.
