    Won League 1 in year 1. Hoping to do a roster revamp for the Championship, but have a small 2mil budget to work with.

    Having a slim roster for the first half of 22 is rough. So many matches happening because of World Cup. Towards the end of September, I’m sitting 15/16.

    My defense is terrible. Going to try and find another new CB in January.

    Just got back into 21 with a Juve Stabia save after visiting the town a few months ago. Then look that I get FM22 free with Prime so downloading that now.

    I’m fuckin pissed. Had the agreed future fee for 30m for Kulusevski, would never let me consummate it during any point of the loan, just said “not possible.” Once the loan ends and you have the option to make offer, they rejected the agreed amount. So uninstalled, fuck that.

    Yeah idk if this was something to do with loading an updated roster at the start of the save. But I’m not going to agree to a 112m total package for a 30m agreed upon fee player who is integral to the squad. Will wait until fm23 comes to Xbox game pass, which I think it does on day one on Nov 8th.

    One day I will play as a club where it matters how much I pay my army of scouts and coaches. But I can’t even figure out how to convert a loan with option to buy so I know I’d fuck up the simplest tasks of a small budget club.

    IMO, need to enjoy scouting/finding good youth players. Only way to really succeed with smaller clubs.

    This also presupposes that I know how to cultivate talent to meet their potential. I think I’m scraping by strictly via world class training facilities.

    Just gotta stick with it and try different things. Like I typically let the coaches/staff handle training plans. I will try and edit individual training for certain players.

    If any of you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, FM23 is on there to play for free.

    DL'd it last night, considering doing a Wrexham save as my first one

    Damn, thought I had found my new FM23 save team, HNK Trogir, but Touch doesn't go down that far in the Croatian leagues, only the first 2 tiers. Bummer.

    Imagine bringing a Champions League game here?

    I am not getting screwed again. I am testing the Kulusevski 34.5m arranged transfer, vacationing a fresh save with no money in the bank to see if I need to have the 34.5m on the 7/1/23 trigger date. I’m not certain so I am doing a science.

    Update, this is NOT what I expected, but the pre-arranged 34.5m transfer for Kulusevski takes/requires ZERO from my transfer budget when the trigger date arrives.

    Also, on simulate with a tactical plan only installed in December when I realized I hadn’t and Tottenham was firing me for poor performance forcing a reload, Spurs finished 4th and lost in the semifinals of the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and Champions League. Not bad for zero oversight.

    I am trying in the winter window rather than immediately but he is extremely uninterested in Spurs. So gotta set the bar above that, or maybe he just doesn’t want to be loaned out or something? Idk.

    Started a save with Villarreal where I turned off the summer window and tinkered around with a hard tackling heavy press 4-4-1-1 tactic RDF Tactics created on YouTube. I have turned Gerard Moreno and Lo Celso into monsters.

    Currently last week of January and I’m sitting in second in La Liga and was able to steal a win on Real Madrid at home.

    34 million in my transfer budget right now and I’m thinking of splashing it on one of the top center back wonder kids because I’m feeling pretty confident in getting a top four finish given the fact that I’m 24-4-2 in my first 30 matches

    Gentleman, it is with great joy that I inform you that in my 1500 ish hours of playing this game since FM19 I just got my second ever 5 star “golden generation” youth intake during my first year with Villarreal. Includes 4 “elite talents” two that are already valued at over 15 million at age 15.

    Be good at getting random numbers.

    You can have the best, state of the art youth facilities and coaching but never get a golden generation.
