I wish they'd update the newgen names a bit. There's no 15 year olds running around today calling themselves Pat. In my anecdotal experience, in about 15 years time, every English professional footballer will be called Alfie, Archie or Jack.

I'm still fond of the Ultimate Soccer  Manager system of generating Youth players where they just took a player name and surname from within the database and smooshed them together resulting in some weird hybrid names for17 year old English players named like, Fabrizio Seaman and Stig Shearer

Not FM but one of my favorite OOTP regen players was a 5’3” black man from Hawaii named Buster Howie.

He's a little bit older than that but the 19 year old PJ Knight goes by Pat outside of the ring. Then again, Norfolk isn't exactly ahead of the curve on anything except Finnish strikers

[Gazz]

It's still 1956 in Norfolk.

If he’s at Chelsea it’s obviously an homage to their finest ever player Pat Nevin

In OOTP I had a player from Brazil called Everton Speed.

[Arjen Robben]

I had a regen called Danny Heritage which is a pretty good name, but unfortunately he is terrible with zero potential.

In other news, I offered a player out on loan cause I have no space for him in my team at the moment, but because he's on fairly high wages for the division I offered him out with 0% of his wages to be paid by the loaning team.

Had a message back that there were interested teams by they felt that the wage contribution was too high for them to cover and would need to be reduced before they made an offer. How fucking hard up are these teams that they can't afford literally free?

Glenn was a shit manager everywhere he went, but evil enough to be the Devil? Surely not.

😂 Oddly enough his skin colour changed as the season rolled over. I am, in a weird coincidence, selling him off to Newcastle to follow in Glenn's footsteps.

So I have a promising MC who is apparently the son of the devil.

Looks like a background character in Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell

[Arjen Robben]

It's a 17 year old on a four week trial, the whole purpose of which is to decide if they're worth being signed. Literally do not need to do anything to deserve a trial. Wind your fucking neck in, Kareem, what do you know? NOTHING.

Skeptical he's actually 17 based on his picture, mind.

Chaos that.

I think that Stones sending off cost them. Just a guess.

[Arjen Robben]

So unrealistic. In reality, John Stones no longer being on the pitch is surely a boost to their chances.

How do you fall apart so badly from one sending off that you concede five goals in five minutes. Fold the club out of shame.

Looks like a normal weekend game for my Cov side...only we are City...

Stupid players

[Bobfoc]

It might not quite be as wild as the Everton/City match, but this was something that happened on my FM19 game a couple of weeks ago:

Just imagine the scenes as football's homecoming is cancelled at the last moment.

[Adam]

That would be absolute peak England.

[Arjen Robben]

My board has just given me the updated club vision going forward, and part of it is "make the most of set pieces".

The fuck do you want me to do with that? Sign Peter Crouch?

[Lineker]

Stick Rory Delap on throws.

It's like a Hogan comeback in FM form. The equalizer was the Hulk Up, the sending off is the YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, then comes the boot at 87, the leg drop at 89 then the extra time goals is the pose routine after the bell.

No, they would need to let them come back to tie, force pens, and then lose on pens
