Weird, this is my most played in the last 4 iterations in the end, that's after a slow start and kind of tailing off now...

Haha, my 2011/2 were big ones, managed to get college credit writing an FM blog one of the years and general college free time lead to the rest... then it takes a dive as soon as I hit the real world

In my season there this happened and i like WTF ?. This would be 5th season as Lupa Roma Manager in 2017 and Both Roma and Lazio went down !!!!.

And there teams where not that bad !!!. They where teams that should get you top 10 like.

The roma team had young good players and old exp players.

Lazio was a middle of the road team with very very good attacking players.

I play with a 4 2 3 1

With a deap laying playmaker
Box to box midfilder

2 inside forwards
One counter attacking number 10
Then a complete forowrd.

The front 4 are

kean
el shaarawy Amiri Martial

All work hourses who can run like tomorrow and can cross a ball with no issues.

Kean was the costly player. Other then that everyone else cost me about 20 mil each.

I found in football manager 17 money does not go far at all 10 years ago in 07 I could get a good team maybe 7 players for 90 mil.

Now I am lucky to get 2 players for that.

In England I seen west ham are spending near 200 mil a season for the past 3 years and man city spent 100 mil on one player

Yeah with 2 inside forwards its considered narrow...from a bit of reading on the tactics for FM17, it seems wingers are no good, narrow to very narrow is the only way to get a tactic to work with any level of consistency

Yeah narrow tactics seem to be the way to go. It's a bit annoying as you end up selling players who you thought would be essential to any tactic. No matter what formation I've tried with wide players they've never been effective. I'm playing with two AMCs at the moment, had been playing with Wexford youths for years plodding along but got tired of lack of resources so am having great fun with Arsenal now. It's great having money but I can see myself getting bored fairly quickly.

Really annoyed with this at the minute; got into the Europa League 2nd Knockout Round with Dundalk after beating Roma on away goals, drew Chelsea and for the 2nd leg four of my players are on international duty. This has pretty much ended any slim hope I had of overturning a 2-0 loss but I can't figure out why it's happened. The Ireland game is a full week away, and I've a player called into the Scotland squad at the same time yet he's available for the Chelsea game I'm also the Ireland manager so I could have avoided this had I known it would happen because only one of them would be automatic 1st team internationals. Frustrating to the say the least.

That is definitely a bug, happening in a league game is one thing. But in a contential comp is an error

A Brad Maddox Guy

Yeah I figured it must be, never seen it before. I think the problem was that I got a message about possibly postponing a domestic cup game for the internationals but I chose not to since it was my backup team that'd be playing it anyway. I assume that's what caused the bug to happen. Anyway I played the game, drew 2-2 so lost the tie as expected.

In those instances I would deem a rollback and dropping them from the international squad completely acceptable... such a balls!

I'm having a really good save with Manchester United at the moment. It's nice to finally feel that I'm getting a small bit of value for money a year later.

I still won't be buying 2018.

Same with arsenal. Picked it back up on Friday. Deffo not buying 2018.

Uriel.

I never buy two years in a row. Usually leave it Two to three years. I tend to run deep into careers like 30+ years so I'm dealing with regeneration players entirely anyway.

Baggly

Im looking forward to growing a load of regens with Arsenal, moving to Serie A and poaching the best ones while bringing oh....i dunno.....maybe Genoa or Lazio or Capri to the top of Europe.

Thats the dream anyway.

Uriel.

Lazio. Gotta go with lazio and rekindle the spirit of. Bepe Signori

Thought youd be more interested in WOLVerhampton or WOLFsburg tbh
