Something extra satisfying about winning that way after having the game be at a stalemate for as long as it was lol, would prefer it to be a bit more comfortable like earlier this week LOL, also why is the Bolton game in 11 minutes of added time, something weird happen?

good time to reintroduce myself to the forum, u can thank me for the win as soon as I had the opportunity to turn the game on Hourihane scored 2 mins later 

We gonna be road warriors this season? 7 goals in 2 away matches already haha

connor washington 😐

RamsTV just crashed. Thank god for that 

I turned it off before it had the chance to crash LOL

Absolute joke, this team looks lost with the ball, absolutely no final product and the defense is producing mistake after mistake. Hoping it is just a matter of the team needing more time to gel but sheesh this was an awful game. At least the set pieces look somewhat decent and threatening but outside of that I don't have any positives.

This ref has been absolutely shocking man

Kane Wilson my lord what a bit of skill

I don't play a ton of fm now but started a save as Northampton. I'm currently in the year 2026-2027 second in the championship with 58 points from 26 games after losing the playoff final in 2025-2026 to miss out on three consecutive promotions. Ditched the 4-4-2 diamond and 4-3-3 wide to play a 3-2-2-1-2 dynamic system. Sold 2 players for a combined 8 million to bring in 9 newcomers to bolster my squad from a paltry 19 to 26. 

Do you generally come up with all of your tactics on your own or do you look at guides about tactics? Personally I do a bit of both as I was initially having trouble at the beginning with playing tactics that consistently did well with my players.

I won League One at the first attempt and was top of the Championship before I moved house and kinda forgot about it 😛 I normally put 100s of hours into FM every year but only have around 20 in FM23.

I probably wait until FM24 before I get back into it now - have you heard its the 'love letter to fans' edition?  Major graphics and UI overhaul for the one after that.

Yeah League One was a breeze for me as well, first season in the championship I had like no ability to improve the team much and had to research more into tactics to make sure I stayed up and ended up finishing 10th! I ended up then selling a couple players for a good sum and upgraded a bit and easily won the championship in the 3rd season followed by a terrible first season in the prem finishing on 23 points (at least it was a better showing that 07-08 though). Immediately hopped back into the division and have been a mainstay for a few seasons and just won the FA cup. Last couple weeks have been incredibly busy for me but the season after the FA cup has started off well with 4 wins and 1 draw so far. Also no I have not heard about that until just now. Actually makes me incredibly excited to see what is going to come in 25. If they are able to have an immense improvement in the graphics department I could only imagine the game would skyrocket in popularity even more.

Could they not just get a couple of mini buses and drive them to somewhere not rainy?

either that or implement a 6th day like they did in the 2021 WTC final 

Definitely looking like the rain is going to save the Aussies and rob us of an incredibly exciting 5th test match tied at 2 a piece

My Aussies did well to weather the early wicket of Khawaja and are looking good 😎

Weather forecast ain’t great for Manchester at the weekend might have to get the game won in 3 days 

unfortunately I won’t be watching much of the last 2 tests as Derbyshire are at home in the county championship while both tests are on 

Was about to say the same thing, this test has draw written all over it 

This was the community shield match against Liverpool and it was certainly a roller coaster that nearly gave me a heart attack LOL

After looking around I couldn't seem to find a thread on FM or FM 23 so I decided to start one, if I somehow missed it I welcome a mod to move this over there haha. Anyway, started a Derby save and I am in 2029 now and have won the FA cup the previous season, my first piece of silverware and am heading into the next season now. If anyone is curious about the 7 or so seasons in between I can post about them but figured I would start here.

Perhaps it did - it allowed Brook to bat and score in his usual position.

Honestly wasn't even thinking of that 

Broad owns Warner and Cummins owns Root I guess

Strange choice to come in at No 3. Mo Ali. When did he last play a match winning innings for us? 

andddd it does not pay off

Starc definitely looks dangerous right now after taking that wicket

Yeah I have to say I was definitely a bit surprised to see him come out after the lbw, not sure exactly what the thought process is but makes the watch a bit more interesting now I'd say
