    GG - Send your assistant to do press conferences, allow your coaches to handle training, just tinker with individual training assignments, harass the board to upgrade the training facilities, youth academy, and youth recruitment in about the November time, bin all the coaches off at the start and hire better ones, bin every ****ing one of the scouts if your playing as NUFC. Set your formation up and individual roles, for opponent instructions have your team press every ****ing one of them and smash any of the strikers wingers and wing backs in tackles. Set your corners to near post and stick your best header on the near post.

    Buy Vlahovic from Fiorentina for £45m
    Guerrero from Dortmund for £27m
    Trippier from AM for £20m
    Tarkowski from Burnley for £20m
    Badiashiele from Monaco for about £15m
    Adeyemni from Salzburg for £17.5m (AFTER THEY PLAY FIRST CHAMPS LEAGUE QUALIFIER FOR WORK PERMIT)
    Ugarcan from Trabzanspor for £16m

    Flog Ritchie, Shelvey, Fraser, Darlow, Kraft, Fed, Clarke, Hendrick.........KEEP Joelinton.

    pop your formation to a 4-3-3

    LWB (ATT)
    RWB (ATT)
    BPD (DEF)
    BPD (DEF)
    MEZ (SUP)
    BBM (SUP)
    MEZ (SUP)
    PF (ATT)
    AF (ATT)
    PF (ATT)

    Guerrero for free kicks
    Vlahovic for pens

    In the Jan buy Umtiti from Barca for £10m

    sit back and win the treble

    I did similar, just off my own head. Ended up winning the treble, but had Isak, Raphinha and Max as a front three, Weigl in DM with Willock and Dani Ceballos, back four of Chambers, Sule, Mancini and Benaibia. Isak was ridiculous. But there was a £66m release clause, he left and I then got Vlahavic, who is about the same. Ended up with Coman, Renato Sanches, Dumfries, Musiala, Sow and more.

    Gave up shortly into second season because it’s so incredibly dull. There should be a “lite” mode without the stupid additional **** like pressers, social, reporter questions, training, staff meetings and the like. Just felt like a slog.

    I remember when you could set the game to “fast forward” to matches and only stop when there was a big bit of news (transfer, injury, player moaning, etc). That was WAY better. As it stands I’ll probably just uninstall it.

    So what other games we playin in here?

    I probably play apex legends more than anything else at the moment. Bangin game.


    Also a bit of forza motorsport 7, classic worms, skyrim with mods but not so much nowadays. The golf club. And one i got this week called planet alpha which is a stunning game to look at.

    Im looking forward to this coming out in February.

    I've not really played anything new for a while other than fm22, always loved the witcher series though and enjoyed the assassins creed titles but they will never beat black flags.

    You really need to play the witcher ones in order as they follow on from each other. the story is superb as were the graphics at the time. think it was my love of that game which prevented me enjoying Elder Scrolls.

    Perhaps thats why then, i played skyrim for years before picking up the witcher game.

    And for me skyrim is the greatest game ever made.

    If you mean you've not played skyrim then you most certainly need to get on that.
    Id suggest adding a few essential mods to it too of you do give it a go.
    I lost years to that game <laugh>

    I think at the time I just felt the graphics and gameplay were quite choppy in comparison to the witcher, I felt the characters weren't anywhere near the quality of those in the witcher and having tried a few times for 15 -20 mins I just gave up. Was a good few years ago now mind so would happily give it another whirl once I win the champs league on fm22 in about 2 hours time :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:

    A few Mods will fix all that mate.

    Graphics and texture mods for the look of it, immersive citizens to improve the characters and thier dialogues, anything you can think of to improve it from the original has already been done.. the list is bloody endless tbh

    Been playing it since season 2, best BR out there by far.

    I had a game of Battlefield the other day round my brothers gaff. Doesn't even come close to apex.

    Best game I’ve ever played is last of us.

    It works fine on ps5. Currently playing guardians of the galaxy.

    But last of us is groundbreaking for story telling and I played it and when I got to the end I was like wow what have I just played.
