Been playing around in the Danish 4th division (as you do) to see if I can get world class rep and a top job with humble beginnings starting there.

I’ve loaded up on free players sending my wage bill overboard but it seems I monitor finances well and I’m frugal 😂

So, we were relegated from the Bundesliga. When this happened both the training and youth facilities got somehow degraded. We lost half a star for the training facilities and a full star for the youth ones. How did that happen? And for some reason our finances appear as "insecure" even though we are comfortably under the wage budget and have some money for transfers. What gives?

 

Edit: I sold a bunch of players, now we are 212k under the wage budget and have almost 10 millions for transfers. Our finances are still insecure.

Love managing in the danish leagues, you can climb the ladder quite quickly tbf, 2.division and 2.divison are all semi pro so gives you a good start, can get half decent players, good luck mate. I'm silkeborg in my 7th season, won the DBU pokalen last season, currently 5th in the table

Hello everybody, there are always a lot of ideas in here for a career... But I would like to suggest a try with 'Depor' (Deportivo La Coruna), one of the most enjoying game I have had so far.

Nice. I’m just starting my third season after back to back promotions.

Lane can be at 72% fitness 5 mins into game an play full match as motm but any of our players drop below 75% he’s gonna get injured guaranteed I won’t be buying next years there’s genuinely 50/60 game break bugs in it an many have been there for years

When you face Malta at home and your players are "lacking confidence"...🤨

Yeah I had this when playing as France. They were scared of their own shadows! But a Relaxed team talk normally did the trick.

Ouch one of the worst I’ve seen. Happens far too often this years game

Yep.. lots of games i generate like 30-40 shots(!!) with around 15/20 on goal. Even with clear cut chances.. All top players with high finishing etc. But still I regularly have matches like this.. Also a lot where I only win 1-0 or 2-1. Absolutely not realistic imo.

[DoneHisCruciate]

I’m not convinced by our away strip here.. it’s almost like watching a match on a black and white telly. 😁

Looks like Levy finally sold those naming rights…

[Pista]

I think I was just robbed of a place in the knockout rounds... By my calculations Greece (my team) should have finished 2nd, followed by Scotland with Sweden in last place.

Have you got some kind of 'pack' loaded with the game - like a logo pack, or a real names fix, or a face pack?

As this is a real stadium's name, in Northampton (England), so it seems to be similar to the 'bugs' which people have noticed where a team's stadium is now in Qatar - and (from memory) I believe that was all due to a pack causing issues ... ?

You may be right ... BUT it seems you drew with them 1-1 at home, and 0-0 away right? 

If they take away goals into consideration for the 'results between teams', then they'd be above you as they scored a single away goal against you. 

Am not sure if this is how it works, but is the only logical explanation (outside of a bug) which I could see

There are no "home" and "away" goals here... And besides, the home/away goals rule has been abolished, not that it would apply in this situation anyway. These aren't the knockout rounds of a competition. All games are "neutral" in a European Championship. I suspect a bug, I've posted it on the Sigames forums as well.

I think they way they do it is to consider the head to head games between the teams on the same number of points. So effectively the results against Croatia are ignored at first.
 

So, it’s a mini table of 2 games and it goes to goal difference and then goals scored in those games.

Sweden GF: 2  / GA: 2

Greece GF: 1 / GA: 1

Scotland GF: 1 / GA: 1

So Sweden win that mini table on Goals Scored.

Then I think because Greece and Scotland still can’t be separated they look at their results against Croatia.

Greece GF: 1 / GA: 2

Scotland : GF: 0 / GA: 1

Again goal difference is identical so it goes down to Greece scoring more goals.

[Pista]

Yeah, maybe that's how the game does it but the end result is wrong. Anyway, I've been asked to submit a save game so hopefully it'll be fixed.

If it is head-to-head results then the table looks to be right to me.

Does it happen in your saves as well? I swear every career is the same problem - lack of goals, both scored and conceded. First game I won 3-0 against Leicester. So 7 goals overall in 7 games afterwards.

Hmm, you may be right. I think... I read the article several times to make sure I understand it correctly and I am beginning to think that the game had it right, the criteria were applied correctly. Well, I learned something new today! Thanks!

Agree that is low. Out of interest - what would your expectation be - an average 2 goals scored each game? More? I’m keeping in mind that you are 1st season Leeds, not Man City.

Also can you share your tactic? It’s quite possible that you have a defensively solid setup, with few players going forward, suitable for 1-0 wins.

Also … have you signed a new ST yet?

As 1st season Leeds’ ST options are weak:

• Aerial - all 5 ST options are weak in the air ❌
• Pace - three STs have decent pace (15), but plenty of EPL opposition DCs can match that ❓

• Decisions - all 5 STs have poor decision making (11-13!) ❌
• Movement - only 2 STs have decent movement, the other 3 are weak ❓

• Shooting - only 2 of your STs can shoot recently (15-16) and that’s still pretty low in the EPL ❓
• Dribbling - again only 2 STs can dribble, but it’s a different pair than those that can shoot ❓

Overall Rodrigo is probably your only decent ST now (15-16 pace, movement, shooting), but that’s not that good in the EPL - maybe a mid-table AF at best?

How does one improve club reputation?

After 5 seasons I've ended up in the championship from league 2 but my club reputation has stayed the same at 2 stars and now no decent players at the required level for the championship are willing to join my club, training facilities are state of the art and youth facilities are top I don't get it is this a bug or something? would've thought it would of increased by now 

[VinnieV]

With all the big names that are moving to the Saudi League would it be feasable to make it playable in future games?

No just really takes a while. I’m in my 8th season with Taunton, finished 2nd in the EPL last season, won the Fa Cup and Champions League football and my reputations just increased from 3 stars to 3.5

Inter Miami will be a very interesting team to manage now that Messi's transfer is imminent 👀

[Mecelos]

Hi all,

 

Are there any working transfer glitches? I am aware about the one to slightly reduce the transfer fee of the player by offering 50% sell on. Are there any more? I know there was one when we could get more money paid for our players, but I believe its been patched.

 

Thanks

[Resurgam]

Any idea why a players stats immediately decline once you sign them? Another bug or something else?
