Andrew 4855 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Got one of the most mediocre takeovers ever when Jeremy Peace bought the club. Into the 22/23 season now (just had the mid-season world cup) and my Newcastle side are basically unstoppable. Lascelles was the last holdout of the original team to stay in the main lineup but hes gone to chelsea now, Shelvey and Longstaff still rotate into central midfield when I need them. Almiron would still be in there but Chelsea bought him for loads as well so off he went. Won the league twice in a row now, won the CL last season and the europa league the season before, both domestic cups a couple of times each, its too easy.

The Fish 10962 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 What formation are you using? I started with 3-4-2-1 with wing backs, then to a 4-3-3, now to a 4-2-3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4855 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Just a 4-4-2, doesn't seem to be all that much special about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4855 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Well, FM20 is out and isn't very good. I mean, it's still FM and all that but the match engine this year, whatever they've changed, is awful. 1 on 1s are not chances to score, neither are penalties. Wingers don't cross, they either shoot from insane angles into the side netting or do nothing when they get to a position, literally just standing there til they get tackled. On my save the "club vision" has bugged somehow making it largely impossible to hold onto my job as the board want me to finish in two different league positions. If you've not bought it yet I'd wait for a few patches before taking the plunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't signed any new defenders, Hayden is still my defensive shield and Dubravka still my 'keeper. Lost in extra time of the carabao and it wouldn't let me give a psot-match team talk, much to the chagrin of my players who performed well.

Andrew 4855 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Any chance you could post up that tactic? I'm struggling but it feels more like ME stuff than tactical. The fact most games see me with 60% of the ball and taking 20-odd shots but every highlight involving some utterly mental decision making from players not passing when they should, shooting when they shouldn't or Dubravka losing his mind and gifting goals to the opposition is making this...mostly not fun for me so far, I think I'm playing out of spite.

The Fish 10962 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 You gonna bother going for FM21? Think Ashley has finally killed my interest in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4855 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I'll probably pick it up at some point, we'd probably get taken over in the game fairly early on Last years match engine being fairly shit and their response to that has killed my excitement for FM though.
