My assistant told me to use this tactic at HSV but I didn't have a really great forward at the time. It didn't matter.

The 4-2-3-1 gegenpress is completely overpowered for any mid table or above team. Below that I find 4-3-2-1 works wonders. It heavily relies on a great deep lying playmaker. At Bayern it was Thiago and at Juventus it was Pjanic and both averaged in the 7.5s for the season.

Edit: and you don't need a great striker for the gegenpress. Most goals come from the wing.

...is it 4-2-3-1 Gegenpress? 

Think it started as a vertical titk-taka 4-3-2-1

Extra crosses for wing backs.

I'm doing a glory hunter save just to say I've won all the major leagues in one save for once.  I think I've stumbled onto an unbeatable tactic as I won the Bundesliga + Champions League with Bayern first season then Seria A + Championship League with Juventus in season 2. Now at Real Madrid who've finished 3rd 3 times in a row, kinda hoping it is more of a challenge. My boy De Ligt came across with me too that's a big plus.

It could be interesting as an anthology series with each episode focusing on one particular character and what their up to in their life, but I don't want to see a proper sequel.

Made it through the Champions League group!

Get Chelsea in the first knockout round...

I think "Written in the script" might be literal at this point, game code is broken.

Written in the script is right. Over 5 seasons I played either Manchester City or Liverpool in the final of the FA Cup, League Cup or Champions League (as United). As soon as I play as an overseas team teams like Wolves are winning the FA Cup and English football is done in the Champions League by the semi's.

Guess I should buy some of the sale games that are on my wishlist before this thing runs out. 

I'll more than likely end up getting;

The Forest 

Stranded Deep

Thief Simulator

Firewatch 

Dead Island Definitive

Plus, I also have Grounded on there, but it's not coming to early access til the end of the month.

The 5 games above just pass the £30 mark so I'll get them for £25, then I'll have another £25 sitting there for when Grounded comes out, which should be more than enough to cover it hopefully. 

You'll probably only get one playthrough out of Firewatch but it is a great game, highly recommend.

Mickie James is no longer injured - she was due to return before COVID-19 but stayed at home instead.

Can't wait!

Yeah. Spain and Italy do it head-to-head first, whilst England, France, and Germany do it on goal difference first.

Yeah I don't think I've ever had it come up in all my years of playing FM.

Also remind me not to manage in Italy ever again. The sheer amount of players on each club's list is ridiculous.

Weird thing I noticed in my game. Juventus finished second to Milan in the Serie A despite being on the same amount of points and having a +30 goal difference over Milan. Is it because Milan beat them on aggregate in their two games?

EDIT: Nevermind, it is, I just overlooked it in the rules page.

I can't work out why, but I always seem to concede around half time and I have an annoying habit of conceding after scoring too. Is there something that causes this in FM or is it just one of those things?

I feel like I've got to grips with most aspects of the game after a five year jump but game management is seemingly not one of them.

You sure about that, I know Quack got a bit protective with guys using Chikara gimmicks outside Chikara, case in point Jervis, how much do you think he'll be willing for someone to continue Chikara, he'll why did he not step down and appoint someone to run it?

I'm still gonna keep their spot open to another Chikara type promotion if one pops up.

I meant a Chikara spin off for lack of better words. I don't think Quack is going to stop that from happening. Up to you though you can go either way.

Considering Chikara is now dead, does that also now make their gimmick kayfabe dead too?

Guess I'm gonna have some fun turning them from workers into gimmicks.

I would wait for a bit as there's still a chance that someone starts Chikara again under a different name and it continues on the legacy.

I would take GRID, if that’s ok.

I’m glad I ran iRacing’s system test before I bought it. Not enough RAM.  

PM'd you the key.

Forgot to cancel my Humble Bundle for this month due to my lack of interest/already owning games. If anyone wants Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice or GRID Ultimate Edition, first come, first serve.

WAtched the first episode of Space Force and found it very "meh".  Pretty sure I'm not going to continue it

It gets slightly less "meh" as it goes on but overall it was very disappointing considering the people involved. John Malkovich is probably the MVP of the series.

Currently working through gimmicks for NXT, any ideas for the following, not really well versed in the lower guys.

- Aliyah - Swagger / Snob/High Society
- Boa - Standard / Old School Face
- Chelsea Green - Swagger / Snob/Bitch
- Dexter Lumis - Mysterious / Stalker
- Jake Atlas - Standard / Old School Face/Pride Warrior?
- Karion Kross - Mysterious / Mysterious
- Kayden Carter - Standard / Old School Face
- Mansoor - Standard / Old School Face
- Marcel Barthel - Standard / Foreign Threat/Purist (same would apply to Fabian Aichner)

Some for people who have been on TV lately.

I play a little bit of everything. I used to play a lot of shooters, and I still play a decent amount of Apex Legends. Been playing a lot of GTA V online recently, too. Some of my friends have tried to get me into League of Legends, but I haven't tried it yet. When I was on PS2, I was mostly playing Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty, and MLB The Show a lot. 

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a good shout then if your rig can handle it. There's a lot of shooters like CoD and Battlefield to pick from.

So, I built a PC. I'm kinda pumped to jump into a whole bunch of new games, but I'm also wondering what you guys are into? Always looking for recommendations. 

What kinda games are you normally interested in?

I swear I've only started seeing it happen since like, the current TEW2020 beta patch. CHIKARA, for example, has like 5 or 6 stables in and using beta #1 of TheWho's database and previous beta patches of 2020, I never noticed them getting disbanded. Weird.

Hmm it might be random in each save? I had it happen in all the saves I ran with the default database (from the first version of the beta) with some stables breaking up on the second day of the game. I did, however, notice it seemed to be stables from the bigger companies that were being disbanded more often than smaller companies.
