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



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

Hahah I knew you would said something like that. I was just looking around in the database and those clubs popped up. Tuscany is a hard choice if you don't want to start with a ''known club''. Siena is indeed a good option although their shirt look like Rube, which is a turn off. I'm in love with Tuscany therefore I wanted to do a save their. Arezzo shouldn't have relegated so I wouldn't have this problem.

The thing I don't get is that the clubs even in Serie C have big stadiums but they aren't filled for 40%. Siena, Padova, Palermo, Catania and Bari are the options who are left over for me. I will reel the wheel fortune and see where my faith is taken me. I really like the lower leagues in Italy. Always nice old clubs with lots of history and without the money like in England these are the harder saves. The upside is that most clubs have some kind of friendship with Serie A clubs so you can loan players for free which is always great.

Most acadamies are shit indeed while there are a few clubs which has decent youth teams, it's a shame they don't work this out in FM. Usually the lower you go the worst the Academy becomes while in real life this isn't always the truth.

The developers only give a shit about the English pyramid.

Wheel of fortune gave me Bari to manage. Hoping to get the new Cassano from the Academy. Should be a fun game with a big stadium, big city and the partnership with Napoli should help to get some players on loan. Let's see if we can get the Southern clubs to dominate the Serie A within 10 years.

Usually, it will get by once the player gets more starting games.
I just use these custom views (attached) so we can easily monitor the playing time (before the last column).

Make sure to check their agreed playing status periodically, reducing some player playing status. Sometimes it's easier to reduce first-team status to squad player status if their average rating is low.
Also, one thing I notice is to not put high wages players to squad players status and below, as the agent could ask for the average wage on that status for the incoming transfer.

Thank you so much for this, currently using this new view now; how did you get it to fit the screen? I've had to reduce scaling to 85%.

Also just noticed your squad god damn!!! I tried signing Davies and TAA both signed new contracts just before I got to them so weren't interested, I forgot about Satriano contract due to always being on loan for development he ended up at Atalanta on a free, was raging. Toro signed for PSG but I bought him back a few season later, Barella left me unfortunately too. I also signed Raspadori, he's a beast for me but I rotate him with Moukoko, Adeyimi, Doku & Toro.

I use it 1080p resolution, perhaps dragging the column manually to fit. Sometimes if we right-click and auto-fit size, it makes the column way too long, so I just import the view again.

Haha, thanks. It is a luxurious ending squad, although the tactics are still weak and I only won because of the players' abilities. The regen starts to fill every game, and I usually stop playing when it happens.

It's a good thing I was able to hold on to Martinez, Barella, Bastoni, and Skriniar as they are viewed as team leaders and have professional personalities. Even Martinez became Model Professional, so I just made him captain. If there's an unhappy player, I just send the captain to talk and the problem is solved.

Satriano could have become the world's most expensive player as Man City kept offering and eventually offer higher transfer payments than Neymar, around €235m I think but I reject it. A few weeks later, it's like the game has decided, let's ruin to this gamer saves, and then sudden news strike. Satriano suffers a damaged cruciate ligament injury and will be out for around 8 months. And that's where I had to reload the game saves.

Raspadori doesn't really develop or reach his potential abilities in my saves and he ends up being a fringe player since coming although I already allowed Sassuolo to keep for 1 season before transferring in. Dusan Vlahovic fit better in my tactics, as he even won world player the year.

I deliberately left wonderkids like Moukoko as he most likely rule the game and I was already bored using him in last year's FM.

I have the same problem with Barella. Real, PSG and Manchester United wants him and he gets unsettled. Same goes for Bastoni and Hakimi (who I bought back).

We've won the CL, they all are a starter and I pay them big money and still the want to leave Inter. Barella is always playing bad when clubs get interested in him and when he decides to stay he plays better.

Inter is the best place to be so they can all f*ck off and I desperately try to hold on to the players.

EDIT:

Found a hack with corners. If you get your best headers to attack the first post and take the corner to the first post you will score ton of goals. Bastoni scored 8 goals in January and Skriniar has 6 goals to his name. (yes of course I swapped them when I saw Bastoni was scoring more goals).

Barella I could not keep hold off he just did not want to stay even though he was vice captain and played every game he was fit etc, bit annoying considering we know irl he is a true Interista.

I've won the CL twice now, league 3 times, coppa italia twice, super cup about 4 times, club world championship once, funny thing I've never won Serie A manager of the year...

The corner hack, can you show me how you set this up? I've never really been good at this side of the game.

I hate regens, the wonderkid list on the first season is amazing then by season 3 its all regens and imo boring and pointless. I always aim to buy real players and never really dive into regens unless a position has became compromised but usually I start a new game when all real players are retired.

Savage on Satriano, I have not had a long term injury like that thus far, maybe 8 weeks has been my max.

I had Vlahovic and he was an absolute beast, thanked me for all the awards he got I was in his favourite personnel etc then PSG bid 150m and he refused to stay and I had to sell him, this is when I bought Martinez back.

Moukoko isn't really playing for me, Adeyimi and Raspadori are the two guys doing the business for me, Moukoko plays very well on international stage.

This is something I didn't know, assumed they'd always be unhappy if you reduced.

It appears my whole team is concerned with there playing time, I hope this is something that will get fixed.

Also, one thing I notice is to not put high wages players to squad players status and below, as the agent could ask for the average wage on that status for the incoming transfer.
This is absolute solid advice, something new in fm22, I really like this feature too.

FM22 is officially released at 8pm UK time tonight, 4 hours early.

For beta users it will just be a patch update as always.

Yeah exactly. Barella would never leave Inter if he isn't forced out. It seems that even when you win everything and pay them good money all the players get annoyed when Real, Barcelona, PSG and both the Manchester clubs come knocking and you won't let them go. Not very realistic unfortunately.

I will show it tonight when I'm home, it isn't something special as I just was playing around. I always found it interesting to see if I could make my teams score more from corners or free kicks. I had the feeling just like in real football there is so much to win from these situations and it worked out pretty well.

My point was you posted saying the game was apparently out last night, as in you didn't read anyone's posts on this section.

Then I assumed you just had me blocked :) Just an overall lols anyway.

No source.

There were actually various rumours about an earlier release, but the SI developers were constantly refuting them, so I wasn't entirely sure where you got that from :p

I don't block people.

Nice man enjoy!

I just updated my logo's, makes the game so much more pleasurable. Never done Metallic logo's before, thought it was time for a change. Loving it. Also forget how outdated some of the league logo's are etc ie French uber eats logo.

The adboard patch from sortitoutsi.net also makes the game into a new level.
Real name fix and Cut out mega face pack is a must for me, for the logo I prefer the standard logo megapack.

So my 3 CB's ( I play in a 4-2-3-1 so only 2 defenders play regularly) scored 22 goals combined from set pieces, nice stat haha. Free kicks are a lot harder so I dont really have a special tactic. You can see the difference between my first season (no special tactic for corners) and my second season in terms of goals from the CB's.

And just for fun the stats of Hakan when playing CAM (attacking) and the corner tactics:
