    Best Tip is when your looking for new staff at the start of the save search for HOYD without a club, with a min of 15 for tec-tac-def-att there you will find newgens that you can sign as coaches for the first team or under18/21 coaches ( your welcome)

I like to imagine we are good mates and he helps me with German words. Little things help immerse me lol

    As a United fan this video basically sums up the disgust fans have with the club, ridiculously overpaid players which can’t be shifted caused by poor management above the manager.
    This type of board controlled transfer structure to be fair isn’t represented that well in FM and although I think many would hate it, it would add realism for clubs like United or Chelsea.

    Doing the math at the start made me think of myself and games I played in the past, I used to play COD4 religiously for like 11 years. I left the console on and stuff but as far as I am aware, I put in around 42,000 hours in 11 years. I imagine that about a third of that is dead hours, school / sleeping, shopping, vacations etc.
    Doing the math, it sits around 43% of those 11 years were cod4 (2007-18). I would sleep for like 4hrs a day, go to school for half the day (I missed a lot) and sacrificed my social life. Yes, I played other games during this period too, I reckon around 60-70% of my time was gaming (14-16hrs per day on average), usually around 2pm - 4am then all nighters over the weekends.
    *this assumes the 42000 number, its slightly less if we use around ~30000 of playing time*
    Yes, I realise that this is incredibly sad. I sacrificed education and social life in the process, lost relationship opportunities, friendships and the start of my job opportunities.

    A few questions: 1) Did you really only get 1 fitness coach? // 2) What are your goals for hiring coaches? Is it to maximize each column? // 3) Do you not use intermediaries to sell players? In my experience I rarely get actual offers through transfer room. // 4) Do you vary training week by week or is it all templated?

    doing training looks so confusing, also the whole thing you did with scheduling friendlies didn't know you could do that
