Gazz Posted January 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I have noticed a slight flaw in the Espanyol B plan. Obviously, being a B team, I can't be promoted into La Liga. Problem is, I also can't be in the same league as the main Espanyol team and currently after seven matches, they're bottom of the league with just two points. If they're relegated, so am I, regardless of where I finish. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing happens, it goes to the next best placed team if I recall and then Espanyol B would simply become unmanageable. What a pickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malenko Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 The difference between a top team from League X and the bottom team from League X-1 shouldn't be that big. I guess you can only hope they start promoting all of your players leaving you with a bunch of nobodies which would make you lose many games (but not them!) and as a result you wouldn't be relegated!

Gazz Posted January 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Oh, the B team isn't a top team, they're predicted to finish last and were promoted last season before I took over. Mid-table would be a massive success. I won't stay here long, it's an interesting concept to work under but it's severely limiting. I only really took the job because they have the money to pay for my coaching qualifications. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed you were actually having a good season and were disappointed by the fact you would be relegated regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FestiveJack Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Bad news for those watching Dr Benjy's Central Park Rangers save - he had some computer difficulties and lost 980 gb of stuff, including his FM save files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 So I finally started a save last night. I started unemployed but quickly got a job with Prestwich Heys in level 10 of the English pyramid, I applied for them as they're pretty local to me. The clubs at that level had no players or staff assigned to them so I'm starting from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to hurt. Staggering that he had no backups/wasn't using Cloud saves, seeing as it is his livelihood and all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his stuff - like his recently started Wimbledon series - was on the cloud, and he can carry on with Thames if he wants cos he uploaded that save file for patrons. The rest though - CPR, his Brescia save on stream, looks to be all gone. Gutted for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 FYI, long throws are completely broken. The opposition clusters around the centre of the pitch and doesn't mark or really react to your players. Put a player on long throws because he's decent at them and won the next game 4-0, every goal the same. And just for the lols, that number 15 in the red is a 33 year old Theo Walcott.

FLiam Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I've come to find that the match engine is very, erm, not great this year. It seems as though no matter how you tell your team to play, they always play the same. An awful lot of goals coming from wide areas being crossed into the box, tapped in at the far post. The goals my Everton side were scoring were mostly like that despite telling them to play through the middle. Then there is the whole AMC/FC issues. They don't play as you would expect, in the slightest. I don't think I have seen a goal scored via a through ball from the AM to a striker or anybody else yet. Makes the number 10 role pretty much redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
