Football Manager 2026

[Beliall]

5 games to go and its tight but not impossible. 1 major thing going against us is the teams around us having a game in hand. we had a dip in form but a change in tactic has brought us a much needed and hard earned win against bournemouth. losing to leicester was a critical point as well, at that point a win would have taken us out of the drop zone at least for a while. the run in looks hard as well, we need to be safe before arsenal to have a chance. fingers crossed

Would not be surprised at all if at least 5 of these pretty much go straight into my senior international squad 

 

 

This guy is definitely the pick of the bunch

How close did your computer get to mysteriously crashing after that Everton 6 pointer?

Losing three out of four against direct rivals, and by the odd goal only. That hurts. You must have felt pretty confident going into that Everton game. Did you win 6 on the bounce before that?

nothing as good as that, heres the wins after my 10 game losing streak from the point i took over. io had actually put this out of my memory,. ref gave 8 mins added time, played 10 and conceded in the 6th, and it was utter bullshit

Hmmm annoyingly I think I may have to start my Andorra save again

 

Done some testing and it looks like their B team is not setup properly to be added into a league, which is one of the best bits about managing in Spain

 

Edit: done some more testing today and I just cannot get their B team to get promoted into a league

 

Having to start a new save, found a database that adds the 5th tier so I can add them into there

i couldnt quite do it, down with a game to spare. if only i had got this team playing earlier than i did , that run in absolutely killed us. brighton up next , and then the championship with rumours of a tycoon coming in to take over i hope i get t ostick around, and i hope the takeover is done either before or after the transfer window, either way, im going to be scrambling to sign players early just in case. thats if they dont sack me

[Beliall]

**** em then. i got called to a board meeting, told them to shove it. im not starting a new season under a cloud and anyway ,realism wise its common for managers to get sacked following relegation. it was a fun little holiday though, i quite enjoyed it

QPR has ruined this pentagon save for the foreseeable future, after having fully licenced visual and stuff i dont want to leave england, got job offers from 2 clubs almost immediately after my sacking, Watford and Lincoln, both just got relegated from the champ, so im dropping to league 1 and finally getting a coaching badge. 

Watford refused coaching badges, Lincoln didnt. I've always liked Lincoln anyway

i did apply with sundown in SA prem and 2 clubs in mexico who all told me to get ****ed. the thought crossed my mind of restarting the whole game, focusing more on england early and doing badges, and if this goes badly i might do that but the game gets so much better when you are deeper into the save, especially true of this version of the game. fortunately i decided to make my manager a lot younger than real life me to give myself more time

I haven’t done a pentagon save myself but on this game (and 24) I found with an unemployed no badges save the best “entry point” was Japan / South Korea

 

Within a few seasons you can usually be in the top division at a decent sized club and they usually have decent money as well

 

Might have to give the Pentagon a go if I get bored of Andorra

My latest FM doing FM things experiences:  I've been struggling to get a decent international job, but I was finally offered what I hope will prove a decent entry level role as manager of the Great Britain women's Olympic team, though a wage of £15 p/w suggests it probably doesn't have the prestige I was hoping for!

 

I had an introductory press conference and was asked if I thought it was a problem that I was English rather than being a native of Great Britain.

 

I've also been turned down for the England men's job three times despite only ever having applied for the women's team.

ill keep that in mind, if it all falls apart here at lincoln the save will be dead and it will be hard to get a better job so i'll restart.

FM really can't cope with Great Britain...

 

 

Wait until he realises all the rest are also foreigners from England and Scotland.

I went in at Malaysia and ended up doing five seasons at Terengganu. I kind of think I'm insane.

Just about to  start the 32.33 season in league 1 with Lincoln

got this guy on a free, nothing special but last season he got 6 goals and 8 assists for salford in  this league who got promoted to the champ last season



quite excited by this guy, signed him for 450k from stoke, who he only had 5 appearances for, but hes been on loan a lot in league 1, last season getting 8 goals and 7 assists for preston who also got promoted last season, via the playoffs

plenty of others comings and goings but these were my favourite finds. media has us at 6-1 for the title, but i think we can do a lot better, we also have a 33 year old harry soutts in the team, hes angling for a move away to the hibernian retirement home though
