I don’t know that we’ve had a hardcore FM guy before in sim so I get the feeling you’ll be tinkering far more than anyone does. Not a bad thing but something I’m interested to see how it plays out. If successful, want to see if others follow the lead
Changes Needed: hood b. goode goheels10 They don’t give me injury time frames now so I’ll just check on it regularly and keep track of fitness level in my changes needed posts Dortmund: Switch to 433 attack, change LW to winger - attack; Goncalves as a shadow striker please; Hakan stays as a DLP and Palhinha stays as a ball winning midfielder. Make Dybala left corner and left free kick taker and switch Raphinia to a winger on attack. Switch Dybala to CAM and Goncalves to LW and keep their roles the same; Put both CBs as defenders on defend; put Hakan and Palhinha as DLPs on defend. Tadic and Torreira as 8/9 bench spots. Done. Kaiserslautern: Herrera and Rogers as 8/9 bench spots. Done. Fulham: Endrick and Geertruida as 8/9 bench spots. Injuries (Fitness level): Kaiserslautern - Saliba (37%) 35% Union Berlin - Koulibaly (28%)
Heads up to all. For the league, it appears there is an expanded bench, if you have a preference on what additional 2 players you’d like on the bench, let me know. Don’t know if this will apply for Pokal also, will not for UCL
Will probably try to get to the sim earlier in the day. Late morning/early afternoon sometime after F1 qualifying at 10EDT
Hmm. Is that how Tanaka got into the game? He was on my reserves I thought. Add Herrera and Rodgers to the bench for me
Yes seems so, I didn’t know until I went to make changes for the injuries. On the team pages in settings outside of the league, it only showed 7 bench spots or I might had us go a couple extra rounds. If someone gets 4+ injuries/suspensions at once, yikes

Forgot to give a warning, missed pens seems to be an epidemic every year. No clue why. And also no clue why it’s sometimes not your designated taker. Sometimes someone else just seems to claim them
