    What the fuck have they done to staff signing in general. First when a team needs a manager it takes over a month to hire one, at any point in the season. Second, when you hire staff as a manager it requires work permits in England and lasts 15 days to sign a fucking scout.

    Arsenal fired Arteta in May 2021. They agreed a deal with Sarri at the end of June, he was waiting for a work permit until July 18th. Mancini quits Italy post day after Euros. Sarri signs with Arsenal, resigns a day later and takes the Italy post. Mancini agrees to join Arsenal, still waiting for a WP two days before their first game of the season. ......

    worrying

    i know this is just a beta, but they should've tried something similar during testing
    I dont think Bonucci even scored one for me and my team scores like crazy
    For example 3-0 4-0 against Dortmund and 4-0 against both Inter and PSG

    Finally its the weekend and I can actually start to play this in peace.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Considering to buy it. I have the weekend off and would be nice to just relax and play a game. Havent played FM since 2016, so hopefully i like this one too
    IMO this one already seems a lot better than the last couple editions. The ME is significantly improved

    I dont know about if your team will "eat mine alive" but I just finished my first season with unrealistic trophies.
    100pts in the league (won obviously)
    CI - 3-0 win over Lazio in the final
    CL - 4-0 win over Chelsea (Morata proved his clutch with a hattrick)
    But it is more about luck with injuries as Juve clearly lacks depth. I had to play Khedira a few games just to avoid others getting tired (Correia and Fagioli also played 1 game each)

    Im not gonna play Khedira for a single second.


    For depth I got Thuram (attack and wing), Coman (loan), Hateboer (loan with 12m to buy) and finally the big difference maker in Lorenzo Pellegrini who starts for me and is my best midfielder.

    Thiago Almada too for depth but I mainly play him in U23, coppa Italia and couple late subs.



    Im in February, my problem is more Ronaldo isn't scoring enough, or he is, but not way more then the rest. Dybala and Morata have same amount as him, which is plenty high lol, but I was hoping he would score as crazy as he did in FM20 for me. But now they like the 3 amigos dominating together.

    I've dropped CR7 in favor of Morata - Dybala partnership. Morata's pace has been deadly

    Brexit, my friend. Now all EU country staff require the same work permits as non-EU/EEA.

    Yeah but in previous years when they were in EU and I signed a scout from Brazil he did not need a WP.

    In general their staff signing is really backwards. A youth coach from Barca for example will never sign for Valencia to be a first team coach because 'working for Valencia is a step down on Barca', doesn't care that it's an improvement in job role.

    Managers will regularly dump their team mid-season for a lateral move at best.

    They were wrong in the past, any Brazilian without an EU passport would need a work permit to work in the UK.

    I'm not buying the game this year but there being so many flaws on early release is not surprising. Do they ever get these right from the beginning? There was even that inflated transfer bug in last year's game months after release. There was also the 1 attribute bug on release that was essentially a gamebreaker until it was patched.

    It's a big game but it's so popular I don't know how these things make it through testing. There should be hundreds or thousands of hours of gameplay before it is released.

    Oh and one of the things that is really bugging me for years now is AI's logic with squad numbers. Offensive players regularly wearing #6 or #13, new signings stealing numbers from current players etc.

    They added bonuses for assists this year, but release clause starting from a certain point is not available, only expiring at a certain point. And you cannot send a player on loan, give them an option to buy, but then also have a buyback if they buy him.

    I know I'm nitpicking, but this is all pretty standard in today's world.

    Also, player swaps are completely stupid. AI has a player on TL, I offer them a player of similar value + 10m for example. They want the player + 50m or something ridiculous. I buy that player for the asking price, they come a week later asking for my player for the same valuation I offered them in the first place.

    Almada is tearing up the championship with my Watford. I hope he never leaves Argentina so that I can poach him on every FM.

    Right now he hates me, because I refuse to loan him out. Not because I am using him, super fringe in my squad, still raw. But I wanna keep him 3 straight seasons, so he can become home grown. Loans can be useless for development at times and they dont qualify for home grown if you loan them out.


    Fvck it, let him be pissed, will make him more of a rotation player next season.

    Almada is a good prospect but there are others as well.

    My main problem is even after one season is finished - Its impossible to sign and sell players.
    I got Donnarumma for free and I want to sell Woj (Woj is better but is a decade older) - Despite Woj being among the best - no offers arrive...
    Bonucci is good but I want to sell him as I have other defenders who are just as good and much younger - Again mission impossible
    Ramsey - He gave a great season but I wanted to sacrifice him due to him being 30 and his value is now at the peak at 55M - Even when I lower his price - nothing...

    Also all three protest when I try to sell them.
    Needless to say D.Costa is a huge liability as no one wants him..

    As for purchasing - Doesnt matter who I try for - All great players arent for sale for any price:
    I tried for Mbappe Havertz SMS L.Alberto - Clubs dont care how much I bid they are just saying no to everything.
    Zaniolo asked to be transfer listed and still impossible to get.
    Camavinga - Nope, cant get him either and also no to others...

    The only two who are available are Gosens 18M and Haaland (clause 75M).

    Koulibaly can be had for 60m which is robbery. Merino from Sociedad is a beast. Complete midfielder, 45m clause. Kabak from Schalke too. Ricardo Pereira 40m, Locatelli 25m, Boga under 20, Aouar under 50, Thuram 20-25, Fabian Ruiz immediately asks for transfer if Napoli miss CL, 60-65m price.
