Transfers/wages are still broken af.

I tried signing player A on a free, wanted 525k minimum with shit tons of bonuses.. Signs for another club wage 325k p/w. The annoying thing is I could afford the 325k but not the ludicrous 525k!

Am I the only one who seems to struggle to score goals? The opponent gk seems to put in a MOTM performance in every game against me. Yesterday this happened to me 3 times in a row. I'm playing with Ajax and I have a lot of 1-0,2-1 wins etc. We are missing some clear chances because the GK is like a superman.

How is Inter set-up in the game? Do we have a lot of financial issues like in real life? I assume our wage bill is through the roof? I will start a game with Inter this weekend after I installed every logo/face/shirts packs etc. I will play a 4-2-3-1 formation as I always do, going to try to play Hakan as a CAM with propably Lautaro as my main striker. Correa is always good in FM games coming from the left wing and maybe putting Sanchez as a inverted winger on the rightside. I will need to be creative to loan/buy wingers.

How are Dumfries and DiMarco turning out? I know Dimarco is always overpowered in recent FM games and I'm reluctant to have Dumfries as an attacking RB. And then is there the problem with CL-registration. I always having trouble to registrate everyone and have enough home-grown players, how did you guys manage it in this FM?

And you would expect Inter getting taking over by some consortium or something like that. Like Newcastle in FM21 every save, has this happened in someones game?

Use your wingers more. Exclude your central players as much as possible.

Holidayed a lot of saves for 2-3 seasons and 3 times advanced past the 2030s, Inter never got new ownership. Only once there was another Chinese guy "promoted from within".
Have another one going now, should be up to 2050 when I get back.

Damn, I assume you don't play on a laptop but you have some sort of gaming PC? I usually select the top 5 leagues with Holland and Colombia, Argentina and Brazil. After 10+ seasons my games getting slower but if you run it up to 2050 than I must upgrade my laptop I guess.

Sort of a gaming laptop

It's a holiday run that I do overnight or during the day. Or both.

Game is designed to get much slower as you proceed, wouldn't worry about it that much.

But I do load many divisions and large db.

Newcastle are in the championship in my game.

Dimarco/Dumfries are absolutely excellent in the game, Dimarco is well OP. Martinez is GOD used as an AF. The wage bill is so high you can't renew Ausilio contract ha but I managed to offload some players to help, Correa I never used (don't use wingers) he has just asked to go out on loan which I said yes to. I sold Hakan in the summer, I just don't like him, there are clubs interested in him so it was pretty easy. Brozovic is great in the game, Barella has the stat's but his avg rating is poor. Sanchez is poor. I would advise using Dzeko, he was my top scorer as a Target Forward (su).

I run the game on a gaming pc, 300k+ players 6 leagues or so open.

This game is just weird :D

Southampton became godly in Europe, but...
[Korean tycoon takeover in 2022, Qatari tycoon takeover in 2038, they have 3 Ballon d'Or winners, one won 5 straight...]

pl1.png



In Germany, Bayern won EVERY LEAGUE except the 2040 one which went to Leverkusen, which was a 2 point difference.


International football becomes random, South Americans have no future apparently.

At least Greece won the World Cup. We can comment on Ballon D'Or players in 2042.

On Inter, there was a Conte return, lol. He was the Arsenal coach for 6 years and managed to win 1 EL and 2 Conference Leagues, so this game is pretty mad if it assumes that Conte can win in Europe but got nothing domestically apart from a Coppa Italia.

Lol @ the randomness of Sheffiel United winnin the Conference League and overall with Southamption and South America teams not even close by winning something. South Africa finishing 3th etc. Maybe going to try to play this many seasons to check it myself. Only thing which is a pity is that it seems that in the National leagues the usually suspects are winning like Bayern.

Manage to offload Perisic, Vecino and Kolarov for decent money. It saves us 1.5M in salary costs every month so it had to be done. But now I have trouble getting wingers. Sassuolo wanted to sell Berardi for 70M so they can fuck off, Ajax wanted 80M for Antony. I've made an offer for Boga for 5M now and 10M spread over 3 seasons which they accepted. :yao:

What baffles me is again the high demands by other clubs for their players. Hoping to land De La Vega and Almada and trying to search for young Italian talents. It was a shock to see that nobody in the Youth Academy is able to be even a 3th or 4th option for me at the first squad. Maybe try to convert Iliev to a winger and try that.

Totally forgot about the away goal rule, celebrated then realised they've changed the damn rules.... gutted.

EDIT; Signed Bellingham and Soyuncu, can't register either due to NEU nonsense but I sold 2 NEU players afterwards and still says I need to sell someone taking up a slot.. wtf, this has always been a problem in every single FM I've ever played and I've never understood it.

Some players want more money to join certain clubs.

Decided to joke around by picking Newcastle and seeing what I could come up with, having roughly 200m for transfers.

It's not a serious run of course so I just tried to buy whatever I could. I'm in deep FFP shit with this :lol:

Isak was a release clause deal, everyone else is on a low initial fee and a bunch of instalments.


I've zero depth so my worst game was verus a 3rd tier squad, who equalized in the 90th minute and took the tie to PKs and they thrashed me 4-1 there :D

Notice something fishy about this guy's attributes?

It's as if no one watched him play. Free kicks and long shots are as if he's Gagliardini.

Also, if you sign a NEU player after selling a NEU or loaning you can register the new signing, however if you have already signed the player then sell another NEU you still can't register that player... I am furious, Bellingham on loan to Liverpool for the season and I am stuck here with the same midfield and my budget gone..

EDIT; Still a beast then ie the best wonderkid to ever come out of FM

Brehme because you're a walking football encyclopedia I need your help.

I'm looking for a Italian club preferable in Tuscany and playing in Serie C with a history of developing youth players. A good history in Italian football is also okay (like a falling giant but not the usual suspects like Palermo for example) and city with history (preferable Roman so I can visit the city when I'm on holiday) If there isn't one in Tuscany you can think of it could also be in the Southern region but the youth academy should be okay.

Arezzo has been relegated to Serie D and their customer service sucks so I'm looking for a new club to start a long game in FM22.

EDIT:

I'm looking at Bari, Siena, Pescara or even Catania as suitable options. Last options are Brescia or Parma but I feel like those two are further as a club as I'm willing to start with.

Prefered in Tuscany, proceeds to list Bari, Pescara and Catania as suitable options. Mind explodes :D

Siena is a good shout if you ignore their former Sassuolo role. Truth is, Tuscany doesn't have much else to offer. Nor does the B group in general. It's usually Marche/Abruzzo based rivalries (Ascoli, Ancona, Pescara, Sambenedettese, Teramo etc). It also contains Cesena, Modena and Reggiana who have some history.

The Tuscan alternative is Pisa in Serie B really.


The 3rd group has a shitload of southern rivalries and the 1st group occasionally has fallen decent teams.

From the 2nd apart from Siena in Tuscany and the others, you could consider Viterbese, but the city is nothing special iirc apart from its proximity to Rome.


From Group A, there's Pro Vercelli, the first real pro club in Italy.
There's AlbinoLeffe if you wish to spoil Atalanta's party in the area of Bergamo.

There's also Padova with some decent football history and a very nice town (close to Venezia, Verona, Ravenna etc). I think Virtus Verona is also there, so you could displace fucking Chievo from being the 2nd team of the city and hopefully win the Scudetto for a 2nd Verona team after Hellas, so it's more of a challenge than a history thing. Lecco is a nice town on Lago di Como, played in Serie A as well. There's Triestina with a big stadium and decent, mostly Serie B, history.

Padova also provided with the sport with some nice players. And on top of everything, you get to beat Juventus U23 squad.


But as I said, it's always the south, group C, that offers the best ones.

Palermo, Catania, Messina, Catanzaro, Avellino, Foggia, Taranto... there's also Campobasso if you're into the anarchist stuff.


The first three are obviously the main ones, but Foggia used to be Zemanlandia, Catanzaro and Taranto* have epic fans that deserve Serie A and Avellino used to be a nuisance for clubs to play against.


* had to share



I think most academies are rather shit on FM and they're all on a similar level, so your choice depends on name, location, current squad, fanbase and whether you like the colors or not :D
