****ing PSG




Also my board sold my starting GK for some reason.

First regular season as Truro City finished! We were projected as the 19th best team preseason...think we did pretty well.



Kinda don't want to go up through the playoffs, as I'm not sure we're anywhere near good enough talent wise to not go right back down. But, we shall see what happens. Maybe it would convince some of my better players to re-sign, because currently they have no interest (including my striker Louis Rooney who leads the league in goals, as you can see above).

My defense is horrific though, so that's a place to look at in the offseason, plus better wingers/depth...as I'm running a strange system this year.



EDIT

Welp

Not only has my start been bad....but it's been the most frustrating start I've experienced. I've blown 3 games in late stoppage time (2 for draws, 1 for a loss). I've had halftime leads in most games and only won once (and that win was a 3 goal comeback late).

Almost no one was interested in joining my team in the offseason due to financial reasons. I'm struggling. My team isn't bad, but it sure isn't playing well.

ALSO: Has anyone been seeing this? I'm giving up an obscene amount of long shot crazy goals. It feels like almost every goal I give up is from outside the box between 3 defenders and just barely by my goalie. I'm in VNS, I feel like this shouldn't be happening.

Yes, I'm still on FM18.

Yes, I've ended up with another Rangers save.

Yes, I'm in a title fight with Celtic.



Both of Celtic's losses are to me at Ibrox. I have a loss to Celtic at Celtic Park and then an inexplicable loss to St. Johnstone.

Update: F*** Hearts. Celtic drops their first game to Hibernian, but then I lose to Hearts and then lose at Celtic. Go into the final match and I blast Hibs 5-1. All I need is Hearts to get a draw or win. They lose 3-1, and hell, they score two goals for Celtic.

It's like they placed bets on who wins the league title.

Waiting for the inevitable 2nd half crash and burn

[Suntan Superman]

After taking two weeks off of Football Manager to win a bet, I'm finally back, and it feels like it's a brand new game.

I did have that feeling when I loaded up my last save that I just had no idea where I was or what I was doing, so we're taking it a bit slow re-introducing myself to the squad.

EDIT: That didn't last long, on to a new save!

[jvalverde88]

Good news: I didn't crash and burn.

Bad news: Ajax remembered they were ****ing Ajax.

[Kobalt]

I have no idea how he's doing so good with these attributes.



PSG poached another high potential regen from me, seriously **** them.
