Bought this the other day as well. Sitting top of League 2 at the moment with only 2 defeats all season. Not exactly scoring for fun, sounds like it would be worth going 4-3-3?
3 consecutive promotions with a straight forward 4-4-2. Now in the PL with a £35 million budget which doesn't cover the sides of what is necessary to make the team competitive, but so far so good. Takeover in L2 allowed me some good freebies to add year on year. Couldn't get 4-3-3 to work although it's meant to be a goal trigger.
A former footballer tried to get a takeover together but it fell through, so looks like I'm stuck with Fisher for the time being.
I got the worst version of Brexit on it but once in the Premier League it doesn't seem to hurt you as much as conditional work permits seem to be a bit more freely given out. I had to disable it completely in 17 as it completely ruined my Cov save, I might do it again in this when I start my next game.
I've managed to get us consecutive promotions and we are now back in the Championship and treading water, just! There was a hard Brexit and it's a nightmare with work permits, I've even managged to sign a couple of v decent players on frees but they were both denied work permits and are unable to play at the moment.
Not sure, if they fail the first appeal I tend to just cancel the transfer as I don't trust they'll ever get signed up properly.I suspect that I have the worst version of it as well, it really is a nightmare!! Even if a player has been signed and you're paying wages, is a work permit likely to be denied the 2nd time around (180 days after the first attempt)?
completed an invincibles season for first time ever last night with spurs

Yeah massively, you are randomly given a Brexit scenario from soft to Very hard.
The english league rules on bard brexit mean you can only sign british citizens or current international players who have played over half of that years games for a nation team high in the FIFA rankings.
I have never got an appeal to work. Might be ok in the Premier league but it rules out finding 18yr olds from footballing backwaters and developing them into a top star which for me is half the fun.
Also if you have foreign players signed before Brexit kicks in you have to sell or release them when their contracts come up if they dont fit the new rules.
Its fairly crippling especially in the Championship as young brits arent good enough and international stars are impossible to sign
That sucks. What database size did you choose, small, medium etc.?Still playing FM17 on my Salford City save file.
I was doing so well, consecutive promotions from Vanarama North to the Championship.
But now I’m in preseason and the hardest possible Brexit scenario has fucked me. I can only sign UK nationals and internationals who have played X amount of games for a top national team.
Was just about tenable for League 2 & 1 as I hoovered up Prem/Champ youth team cast offs.
I just can’t attract the caliber of player I need to compete in the Championship.
On paper my team isn’t too shabby but a bunch of these are ageing or not as good as their real life counterparts:
GK. Freddie Woodman
CB. Mancienne
CB. Needed
RB. Jonjoe Kenny
LB. Needed
DM. Fabien Delph
CM. Nick Powell
AM. James Maddison (no way as good as he should be)
RW. Sullay Kaikai
LW. Jodi Jones (forgot about him! probably my best player)
ST. Needed
Subs:
Scott McTominay
Rhian Brewster
Joel Latibeaudiere
Jack Redshaw (had him since day one, scored 30+ every year but is ageing and surely can’t do it again)
That sucks. What database size did you choose, small, medium etc.?
Completed an Invincible season with Coventry, winning the Premier third year on the trot!
So I resigned and joined Chorley in the Skrill North League for a bit of fun.
I see I'm still regarded as a Favourite personnel on the Coventry Home screen, I'm pleased to say!
damn i dont like that, we dont even know how brexit is gonna affect football in this country for real!
i wanna use man citys millions to build a reserve team of 11 kids who i will bring though to take over the final 5 years i am in charge
It's nice that football manager has thought more about Brexit than the government.
Haven't started playing FM18 yet, but my gosh, Turnbull at 12.75M!!Hi,I'm an italian user...I'm driving Sky Blues into the Premeir League by winning all 3 League Two,League One and Championshpi (have won also Checkatrade Trophy in first season and lost 2-0 in FA Cup against Bournemouth last season,after beating Tottenham 3-1 in the 6th round and Manchester United 1-0 in semifinal),with many players still in the team from the first season (Grimmer,Willis,Haynes,Stevenson,Jones and Thomas,plus Jordan Turnbull returned from loan after the first season)
Now I'm preparing for the big challenge in Premier,and have signed some good players for free or low prices (Fekir and Charlie Austin for free the most important)
I'm using very simple formations (4-3-1-2 Offensive,4-4-2 Standard and 4-1-4-1 Counter Attack),no big scorers (McNulty 24 first season and 22 the second,Thomas 11-24-26 in the three years,Burkart 18 last season),but wingers that f***** up every opponent (Jodi Jones 15-15-14 goals,much more than assists on the left,Samuelsen and Kaikai above 20+ assists from the right)
This is my current squad,ready for the first PL match against Middlesbrough
I found tihis 18 edition very easy to play,isnt'it?
