  • How We Nearly Blew the Title: Season 1 Review

    FC Nordsjælland and Ghana. We didn’t lose a game from the first friendly on July the 2nd until April the 2nd in the hotly contested season run-in. We were so far ahead of everyone else we kept getting the message that we would win the league if we won our next match. But we kept…

    How do I freshen up my FM saves?

    FM16 – Benfica This is going to be an odd post. In my mind it’s a journey through my most recent FM saves before I start FM23 properly. (I’ve been playing since the Italian version in the 90s but can’t remember anything about those saves. I played on the family Amiga in the evenings. Fiorentina…

    My Youth Policy at Lens and Midtjylland

    For me the greatest part of Football Manager is developing the careers of my newgens. Over any other aspect of the game, even winning championships, the most rewarding and exciting aspect of the game is youth development. The game doesn’t really start for until I get my first youth intake. That’s when I become fully…

    Life Through A Lens: Rebuilding RC.

    On a whim one evening, I started a save with Hull to see if I could keep them up. It was fun. I played on the counter, disciplined, and with a simple remit: stay up. We did, on the last day on goal difference, an unlucky Bournemouth going down instead. But with the funds from…

    End of Season 3 Review

    Another year done and a new one begun. The challenge I set myself looked at first an easy one: win the CL with a homegrown first 11. We are dominating the Portugal U-19s, 20s and 21s, so that could be on looming the horizon. The issue is that as our coefficient has gone down due to…

    TACTICS POST: Inverted World. (wing back update)

    Since the latest patch (with the updated IWBs), I have been playing around with them in my Benfica save. I have a flexible squad with very technical, intelligent players so knew that they would be able to cope with a mid-season change in tactics. We also have good coaches and training facilities and it didn’t…

    TACTICS POST: Jardel, Lone Ranger

    In my tactic Jardel plays as a lone Centre Back, and although it’s not his natural position, I’ve set him to cover. He plays behind two half backs, who drop in when out of position to create a back five, and between two attacking fullbacks. The half backs help out in defence but also allow…

  • October Update

    Since I last wrote I’ve mucked about with a cheeky Blackpool save. I edited out the Oystens and added the Udinese guy as a money mad foreground Sugar Daddy. It’s been fun playing simple tactics with simple players. W10 D5 L1 so far, but my true love came calling and I’ve fired up the SLB…

    The end of the beginning…

    I’m two seasons into this save already. I’ll let that sink in for a moment. Either you’re happy because you hate all of that here’s my squad, here’s my staff, here are my targets, foreplay – or you’re sad because, well, that minutiae is your bread and butter. But as I’ve decided to start blogging…
