Sorry just seen this. Ordered it last Friday, it came Saturday PM. It gave me a code to enter on a website which sent the pass code for Steam to my email.
 
Halfway through 2nd season and I've just signed Alvarez from City for 15mill after he was deemed surplus to requirements there. Also getting Dani Olmo on a free transfer with his Leipzig contract expiring. Unfortunately Che has thrown a wobbly - he won't sign a new contract but doesn't want to be sold. With 6 months left on his contract I've accepted a couple of bids at which point he got really upset!
FM Saints is much more fun than real life Saints.

In positive Saints news, you'll be delighted to hear that my Saints team, including players from the "real" team we have now, have just completed an unprecedented quadruple - Carabao Cup, Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

Unlike Selles, I've been playing players in the correct positions in a high-press 4-2-3-1 formation. This is how you do it, Ruben...

First team -

GK - Unai Simon

RB - Tino Livramento
CB - Giorgio Scalvini
CB - Josep Sutalo
LB - Destiny Udogie

DCM - James Ward-Prowse
DCM - Romeo Lavia

CM - Alexis Mac Allister

LW - Mikhaylo Mudryk
RW - Angelo

CF - Goncalo Ramos


Reserves -

GK - Dominik Livakovic

RB - Elias Jelert
CB - Nicolas Sule
CB - Armel Bella-Kotchap
LB - Juan Larios

DCM - Yves Bissouma
DCM - Brandon Aguilera

CM - Carlos Alcaraz

LW - Samuel Edozie
RW - Arsen Zakharyan

CF - Marcos Leonardo/Ivan Toney

Nice. I've got Moukoko up top on mine. I did have Endrick but I had to give him a release clause when I signed him and Real Madrid promptly nicked him. :(

My team:

Maximiano
Lewis Lukic Gvardiol Small (weirdly, he's the one who turned out really good for me)
Lavia Bellingham
Alvarez Gavi Cardozo
Moukoko

Highly recommend Angelo if you play with wingers. Young Brazilian kid. Had Endrick on loan from Real for a bit and I want Bellingham.

Ah, also forgot I have Arda Guler. He's a MUST buy. I play a 4-2-3-1 with Guler in the no 10 position with Gavi on the right and Cardozo on the left. Cardozo doesn't actually exist in real life as far as I know, he's 21 on the game and I'm in 2028 now. Alvarez backs up Gavi and Gakpo (got him on a free) backs up Cardozo. But Guler is sensational.

I just bought Guler, funnily enough.
 
I also came across a totally random Faroese wonderkid on my save called Jónreid Gleðisheygg. 16 dribbling, 18 acceleration and 17 finishing stats. At 19. Not bad. Snapped him up for 10mill from FC Copenhagen.
