Football Manager 2020 & FM Touch

[Wolf]

I took being sacked by Arsenal on the chin after my sacking they somehow got knocked out of Europa league semi depsite a 3-0 away goal advantage and they did finish 4th. However i couldn't get another Prem Job so dropped division and joined Southampton who had been relegated. Just coming upto Christmas and sitting top of the league but have got a woeful defence so despite having probably the best front 3 in division I can only really play Ings because i have to back load my defence and midfield.

Only got a 2.9m budget for upcoming window so some wheeler dealing is going to be needed.

On my reloaded second attempt at our second leg with PSG, we scored twice in the first 5 minutes and went through comfortably 4-0 on aggregate. Am now totally convinced the game is pretty much random, and it's going to be better for my sanity to think of it that way anyway.

Did you guys manage any free transfers first season?

i always sign Sergio Reguilon From Seville. I’m guessing if you always sign Augustinsson then probably not, but he’s a great option. Valued about 30m so even if it’s just to sell second season it’s a good bit of business.

I did a search and couldn't see any worthwhile ones. I considered Kurzawa and James Rodriguez, but both wanted absolutely enormous wages and I didn't think either would be first choice so it wasn't worth it.

At the start of a season I always check those expiring in a year and then put em on wanted list. Some values drop massively on 6months. So don't necessarily know who's the best profit makers if only looking in Jan.

Reguilon's only on loan at Sevilla isn't he? Never seen him available on a free in my game - signed a new deal with Real in May of 2018 until 2023 in my save

I always have a look, never much that takes my fancy in the 1st season except signing Matuidi on occasion, was really good for my United team for the 2 seasons I was there. Always keep an eye on it though in-case someone decent becomes available.

 

[Papas1982]

I’ve signed him every season lol

may we’ll be that he’s on loan at Seville with contract expiring. Not sure. But I’ve been planning the latest update

 

[Dan2501]

That's so weird, he signed a contract extension with Real IRL before moving to Sevilla on loan. What update are you using?

Latest patch. Signed him on both handheld and full version....

 

[Dan2501]

Huh, yeah, on the FM Scout DB they have his contract expiring at the end of the season, no idea why I've never seen him go on a free. I'm gutted I've never been able to sign him on a free, he looks bloody handy for free

Sales have started to come in now. Walker-Pieters gone, Rose gone, Carter-Vickers gone, Son gone, Aurier gone, Skipp gone. Transfer budget is back up to £65m and wage bill back looking healthy. Need to find a wonderkid RB now.

Max Aarons?

 

[Papas1982]

think I’m gonna give the spurs season a bash.

you’re both still just in touch right?

Yeah there's no way in hell I'd buy the full game. Think Dan has full game though.

I'm kind of tempted to revisit Spurs at some point but again that's just my niggly stubbornness I think. Really I'd be better with a side that has no expectations at all.

At the start?? I only got 15 or 16, are you sure you're playing the right game??

Adjusted the wage budget. Its maxed at 20m but pennies for wages.

So sure its the same.

Oh yeah good shout, forgot about that. So I guess you're looking at right backs like the rest of us had to?

Not yet.

My formation uses defensive inverted fullbacks. Aren't many descend in the game. But it's about functionality. So a decent cb can do it to
