Came here to pay homage to Paul Taylor. I’m currently in the Vanarama National with Chester. Signed him on a free and he has 5 pace and 6 stamina. I’ve never seen anyone have a better collection of goals and I watch this shit on 2D.

Straight shooting from 40 yards on a wet and windy night in Leamington and sending it top bins, making me have to crack out the 3D footages.

u wot m8?!

I mean, looking at the stats they weren’t wrong that you were an easy opponent :joy:

I knocked out Southampton and West Ham playing as Plymouth, but then got spanked by Chelsea. Wasn’t even an away match so didn’t get the big gate receipts :expressionless:

du-els :arteta4:

Spurs - Chester

Been playing FM24 since last week.

The new Champions League set-up (starting 24/25) is something else :exploding_head:

8 games instead of 6. 2 of those being played end of January. One big fucking table, hoping to finish in the top 8.

Managed to finish 8th on my first attempt :arteta: Beating Bayern 2-3 at the Allianz made the difference, very fortunate win.

I’m managing Valencia.

I bloody hate the new ECL format. The draw for the group section just seems to happen without any explanation of how it was reached so you can end-up playing as many as 3 really big clubs before the knockout phases.

UEFA have definitely tilted the odds further in favour of the big clubs. Which shouldn’t be a surprise I guess.

Yeah that’s true. Suddenly the table and fixtures were just there. No explanation at all.

I had to play Bayern and PSG. Why them?

Crikey, you allowed Man City to still exist in 2026/7?

I’d shown the fuckers away from the top table by adding a minus symbol to their bank balance in the Editor before I’d even sorted out my first transfer. They may get away with it in the real world but not on my watch.

Didn’t even think of that haha.

What a brutal schedule. 3 games in 6 days?!

Anyone had a harder opening set of fixtures than this?


Chuffed with the City and Chelsea results so far (playing as Brighton), and had twice Chelsea’s xG
