Great stuff, look forward to seeing it. I'm 3 saves in with Monaco and Marseille have finished 96th, 4th and are on course for the top 4 again - sure you can push them to the Champions League!

A small transfer update from January, though the player won't join us until the summer. Really looking at next season for this one and my grand plan to not really sign anyone and bring some of my wonder kids through!

Season 3 So Far

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eWcJj0FJyid9KKLkFxxNEwcmdKur2aUhsYBgVGmb.png

We're at the half-way stage and it's been alright up to now. We went big on transfers with ASM coming in to balance out the brilliance or Martins on the right and Dembele coming in from Lyon as our new striker - he was last season's 2nd top scorer behind our own Ben Yedder so in theory, it's a pretty good move.

Again we signed a couple of young players and regardless of how this season ends I think I'll move on some older players to bring them through. Very Monaco. Pavlovic, for example, is 20 now (I think) and is already as good as Rugani, along with making a cracking habit of scoring late important goals from set-pieces too.

Here's our best 11 to start, Golovin has been brilliant as a 10 but I've dropped him a little deeper this season as we struggled at times to completely control the middle of the park.

In the summer we managed to get one over European Champions and our conquerors last season in Liverpool and then take home the French version of the Community Shield.

In the league up until December, we've looked pretty solid as we've pretty much been beating all of our rivals and predictably only dropping points to some sh*te. Note the late goals from Pav as I mentioned a little earlier.

In the Champions League, we started with a defeat at home to Atalanta and a draw in Valencia but managed to turn it around by winning all 4 of our games after that, starting with the doubleheader with Porto which won us the group. The reward for that is a tie with BMG in the new year.

Right! We're all caught up - the next update will be at the end of 2021/22 and then I'd imagine I might get a little slower in updating!

Just to cover all bases, here are the transfers from season 1:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Qq0nCgWLlBZ4t6vJ3AIcgRP7t0VXGxf9K6rmFwdi.png

Spent a lot of this season worried about the FFP rules and how we were going to scrape through them... we did JUST and with a few decent loans and future fees we were able to build a decent team to go at PSG in 2020/21.

And season 2:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/LtCraspB4dqcoYb1g5Hv5plPrX3Y7VxQ8uI29OAU.png

Rugani has a clause in his loan to sign him on the cheap and I was very pleased to use it (and to have the funds to be able to!) Livakovic in goal turned out to be a season-changing signing as he went on to make 20-odd clean sheets in the league and save 4 penalties in our Champions League run too. Bakayoko's price was agreed in the loan deal already and we scraped the money together to do it.

Everyone bar the 3 names mentioned and Marco Van Ginkel are youth players with really exciting potential - the scouting setup at Monaco is immense!

Finally getting around to uploading a save on this FM - something I haven't done for a while due to a mixture of work and a part-time Masters... but lockdown's afforded me the chance to play and share what I've done!

I'm onto season 3 now and these will likely only be seasonal updates as I ([i]famously
) play pretty slowly![/i]

Miles and co have made FM free to play through Steam for 1 week (until 3pm 25.3.20) via this link. For those of you on an older version, it might be a good time to give it a try before you buy!

When it does come to buying it, remember you can get it through our site, helping us with some running costs and saving you a couple quid too! You can do that here

Thanks!

I think if things got delayed then the game would too, thinking as to how they approach transfer window updates etc. From there I'd imagine they'd put it in there as you said with Brexit and so on.

think we're a long way from finding out though!

It's nice to see that other people have careers that look like mine!

Unlucky mate, Schalke are always a batsh*t club anyways, I've never done well with them in a save. Where next for you?

I think he's translated from Turkish to English and is asking if we can have the team we support in our profiles. Though I may be completely wrong.

#518970 FFP Confusion

Afternoon All!

I've started a save with Monaco and aware they're having a bit of FFP trouble to start out. It's been a bit confusing as seemingly the projected losses keep growing, despite me shifting players and some wages. A few things:

- Can the board cover some of the deficit? I've read on the league rules they can cover £20m or so but I'm not sure if it's guaranteed to happen?
- Does the calculation take into account prize money for league finishes etc?
- Why have the board just doubled my transfer budget if this is a problem?

Any help appreciated, though I'm outside of transfer windows now so can't imagine I can do much more to change it!

It's one of the most enjoyable saves I've ever, aiming to top the Turkish hall of fame and only around four trophies away now.

he says he has sacked the DOF

this could be an issue with the club vision too which has many users not being able to sign players they want
open the editor and see what it says about the club in club vision too
also set the owner/board etc to have 1 in interference

If it's set in responsibilities, sacking your DoF would just mean that the responsibility then falls to your Chairman or another instead

Hi,
So i'm at the start of the season and Im getting a good few offers for my star players. Im set up to have the final say to accept the sale or not, I've sacked my director of football as he accepted transfer offers for players i have set as reject all offers. Now the chairman has started accepting offers as well. How do i stop this, i dont want to sell my star players, my club is rich and i have millions in transfer funds, i dont need to sell, i want to strengthen, but my chairman thinks differently......HELP PLEASE

Try Staff Responsibilities, it seems as though you might have your DoF/Director in charge of offers coming in for players

A cracking start to this as ever, have you gone with your 352? Interesting the financial side of things, I knew they'd been struggling with it in real life but didn't think it was so intense

I often ask when there is clearly enough time but always rejected for the same reason, absolutely no point it being in the game!

I wonder if you have to ask at the start of the break? I can't really work out how else it would work... though IRL I am sure that a club would have it sorted well in advance!

Alright guys,

Just wondering with the warm weather training camps - when is the right point to ask the board for it? Every time I seem to ask they say "don't see the time in the schedule" even though there is a 2-week break just a game or 2 away (Feb in the Prem). The option then disappears if you try to ask later.

Is there a set time to be asking? Think it's only worked once and didn't know if anyone else had this problem

I should get this finished today - set on 25 points at the minute for an FA Cup 1/4...then lost it 2-0 to bottom of the Championship Charlton (did have an injury crisis though!). 3 games to play, I think and I've only just popped out of the bottom 3 so in true Kez style I have not done very well.

I will argue I've made the most exciting and maybe even romantic deadline-day signing, however
