Must admit there's some at a fairly high level I never knew were from Cov

Happy with that. Birmingham the only Midlands team above us. Can we start a campaign to bring those rules in?!

Surprised to see Millwall top, would have thought so many clubs in London would have spread the talent around.

Woah, that's old school pricing. magic

FM 21 Beta available now

Enjoying it so far, biggest improvement is how well the 3D match engine runs compared to recent years, particularly as my graphics card really ought to struggle with anything more taxing than Pong.

Have they fixed 1v1s?

SlowerThanPlatt · Nov 14, 2020

I'm a fan, liking you can talk to agents to get an idea of what their players demands are. Only issue I’ve had so far is Hamer is down as ‘Guga’ in game for some reason

They've even added Grendel

People have been saying it's a lot better although nothings stood out yet in my games so far

That’s nothing I’ve won 6 out of the last 7... I had one fan say a 2-0 win at Preston was full and the other not knowing we were playing - I’m in the play off picture.

ajsccfc · Nov 17, 2020

Nice that they got Jackson Pollock in to help with the analytics

Who did you sign? I couldn’t get any Championship quality players on a perm with my budget so had to loan in Anthony Gordon from Everton and Liam Millar from Liverpool

This is how I’m setting up

I don't know Jobello is our third best player on the game, be trying to move him on in January as he's worth £650k

Literally penniless - I’ve signed Allen Halilovic as competition for O’Hare.

i initially stated with a fluid counter attacking 5-2-1-2, which was solid. But coming into January with Jobello back I’m moving to a 4-1-2-2-1fluid Counter attacking.Seems to be getting better.

ive had problems with Hilsner but he’s getting sold. Godden has scored 8 in his last 8 for me and Walker has been dropped for Jobello

Frostie · Nov 18, 2020

They definitely have our fans well pegged...

are they Christmas decorations you fucking monster?

ajsccfc · Nov 20, 2020

Playing three up top and having no money to bring anyone in the Cov squad is slim pickings, I've found so far that the best players to go alongside Godden and Walker up front is O'Hare and surprisingly enough Ostigard

trueskyblue87 · Nov 21, 2020

Went the first 10 games without a win trying to replicate our 3-man defence box formation, but managed to finish 2nd in the first season after switching to 433. The key was also keeping squad morale consistently high, praising the players at every opportunity.

Tyler Walker scored 21 goals and my only signing was Liam Millar on loan from Liverpool. Bapaga scored a few screamers so worth delevoping him.

Now have a £38m budget in the Prem and been taken over by an ex-Charlton CEO.

How have you found VAR? I read online that the decision never gets overturned

Haven't played in a match that uses VAR yet as I'm still trying to battle the new in-game Brexit work permit rules in the summer window.

Don’t know if I’ll just go for a refund on this one, training seems hideously complicated to setup amongst other things

You can assign things like that to your Assistant if you want.
Alternatively, if the main game is a bit in depth for what you're looking for, try the Touch version, it strips away most of the more complex bits.

I was fine with FM20 but it’s looking a bit heavy in this one

Frostie · Nov 26, 2020

Always love how customisable it is, I've been having a play around with the graphics & put in some backgrounds which I think massively improve the immersion.

Ignore that my photos make it look a little dark, it looks great in game.

ajsccfc · Nov 26, 2020

When you're even doing one for Chris Badlan you know you've done some comprehensive work

SlowerThanPlatt · Nov 26, 2020

ALT+S will screenshot in game, saves to the screenshots folder

How do you do the specific graphic backgrounds?

You can download some good graphic packs such as:

FM21 Backgrounds: Stadium Pack

Hi all, I’ve been working on a number of background projects, this one is adding stadium pictures to the background of clubs and stadiums throughout the game from all over the world, I’ve been doing this for my own personal use, but decided to share with the community, something I've built up ove...

You also need a skin that allows for transparency to show the backgrounds:

Make sure to follow the instructions there.
I recommend setting the transparency to around 40/50 so that the text on top is legible.

After that I downloaded my own CCFC backgrounds & edited the config.xml files to add them like this:

Any problems. let me know & I'll try & give you a steer.

I’ve always downloaded graphics. I’m just impressed with your custom background pack.

so far I’ve only just added the trophy pack. Still looking aroundfor Kit packs and faces

ajsccfc · Nov 27, 2020

I only tend to do badges/logos and the real name and fake team fixes, the size of the graphics packs for faces means by the time they've downloaded on my connection speed the players will have already retired

CrawleySkyBlue · Dec 5, 2020

Anyone played this on Xbox yet?

ajsccfc · Dec 16, 2020

I like how in Football Manager, rugby doesn't exist

ajsccfc · Dec 22, 2020

Currently third in the Championship in January of the second season and I'm not sure how or when this happened but Josh Eccles is on the biggest contract in the squad
