Anyone would like to start an online save on FM24?

Only had FM 26 a week - started game with my local club - that’s going ok second season now

So I thought I try the Wotld Cup mode with England - god you do next to nothing - just press continue - select the normal real line up - with few extras you decide yourself

God it’s too easy - in the Quarter final and done nothing - played with the same custom formation - you can even win a match with weaker players

I found international football bit harder in FM 24

Hi! I'm the developer of DanFootball, a browser-based football manager I've been building for the past few months. It's now live, with real managers already playing.

The main difference from most browser football managers is that you don't just see the final score or a results table — you can actually watch the match unfold through a live pitch feed, minute by minute, with substitutions, cards, injuries, penalties, and running commentary.

Leagues run in parallel every day, with promotion and relegation between divisions. The main leagues have 16 teams, and each team plays a 30-match season.

Each match lasts around five minutes. Five rounds are played every evening, starting at 19:00 GMT, with a new round kicking off every 15 minutes — so a full matchday plays out in about an hour. One in-game year lasts one real week, so players age and seasons move quickly.

Every match is saved in a full season archive and can be replayed later.

You can watch all matches without creating an account. Outside the daily live window, an automatic replay system shows selected matches from the archive, so there's always something on.

To create your own club, you can register, sign players through live auctions against other managers, choose your lineup, and then watch your team play.

I'd be happy to answer any questions. Honest feedback — especially about the onboarding, interface, and readability — would be genuinely helpful.

Not trying to compete with FM, just curious about something adjacent. I built LegacySaga, where instead of managing a squad you live one footballer's career: transfers, reputation, playing time, chasing trophies and the Ballon d'Or.

It's free and browser-based if you want to see what I mean: legacy-saga.com

Mostly here for the conversation. What would make a "career mode as the player" actually interesting to people who live in FM's depth?

Je commence une carrière FC 26 avec Kevin De Bruyne comme coach de Levante.
Donnez-moi vos règles et défis :
Quels joueurs acheter/vendre ?
Comment gérer les offres et le budget ?
Quelles nationalités privilégier ?
Quelles règles pour le centre de formation et les scouts ?
Quelle tactique ?
Quels objectifs et contraintes ?
Je suivrai les meilleures idées des commentaires. À vous de rendre cette carrière intéressante !

Anteayer quise jugar y simplemente no me abría el juego, dije "ok hoy quizá este caído Epic Games" pero ayer volví a intentarlo y nada, ya me empecé a poner nervioso, hice una copia de mi partida, borré el cache de Epic y nada, NO ME DEJABA DISINSTALAR EL JUEGO, se quedaba atascado en "desinstalando" reinicié el notebook, nada funciona, borré Epic Games directamente, y también tuve que borrar manualmente el propio juego, volví a instalar Epic, hace la verificación de datos, se habré una ventana con una barra de carga que se cierra al momento y no pasa nada, volví a borrarlo y a instalarlo desde la Microsoft Store y es exactamente la misma historia, todo esto literalmente de un día al otro, literalmente para lo único que uso Epic es para jugar FM, es muy molesto, si tuviera la garantía que es algo que los de Epic arreglaran pronto no tendría problema, me espero y ya, pero conociéndolos quizás no lo hagan o quizá sea un problema mio, alguien sabe que hacer para solucionarlo? Sabe si es cosa mía o de Epic? Les paso? De antemano muchas gracias por la ayuda🫶

This is probably one of the best young centre backs i've ever had/seen.
Bought him for only 3.4 million from a croatian team.

Possibility of going up to 189 million is beyong amazing. However, I already have 150 million sitting in the transfer budget and I have no clue what to do with it.

Would I be stupid for not taking this? I probably could negotiate and get it even higher, it would be beyond recording breaking sale for me. I would have over 300 million transfer budget.

In games like fifa and fm, I always say to myself, whats the point in selling a young world class player, they're only going to get better, it's better to have them on your team rather than against you and it would be difficult to find a replacement which is true, I've had a look and can't find any centre backs that even come close to how good he is.

I might draw out a plan of players I could potentially sign with the money.

(Also, chelsea are consistent prem winners and big rivals against me in the CL, I usually always draw either chelsea or man utd. I would rather not sell one of my best players and play against him)

What would you do?

I have been no lifing fc 26 manager career and I've been thinking about getting into football manager. I've been told my by my friend who has played a few of them that the new one isn't good and that I'm better off just buying and older one. Is this true?

hey guys, i’m in my third season as arsenal manager in fm26. i want to sell one striker between havertz and gyokeres. gyokeres is older and has less stars but he’s been scoring alot for me, whereas havertz is younger but hasn’t been really doing much. thoughts? (im quite new here)

Im currently managing Holstein Kiel in the 2.Bundesliga and struggling to promote, although I have really promising players. I believe that conceding less goals and playing defensively can get me trough and let me catch foot in the Bundesliga, but in terms of defensive lineups there are only very few tactics online wich I could base my strategy onto.
Have you ever played a defensive system with success and how would it look? Ball possession based, 3 cbs? I would love some suggestions, thanks in advance.

Bro they keep taking my players. Took my Yildiz snd now my Lacey. Its fucking january snd their squad is already stacked FUCK OFF

I have been promoted with Bristol City to the premier league in my first season... not the plan!

I have been given 30 million and have an incredibly weak side, what do I even begin to do? Or do I waste a season and just take the relegation on the chops.

If anyone can recommend some signings, your favourite cheap players, as well as some tactics, I currently play a 3 4 2 1 with the wing backs actually playing LM and RM in possession. Help!

Hello guys,

I am kinds struggeling to find good and cheap kids with good potential.

I wanna use the scouting page. Send a very good and fitting scout to a country, do lowest star rating up to 2,5 yellow stars potential, 15-21 and let him search for every position etc. No other restrictions or attributes.

They either find players costing already millions or they dont find anyone for months.
Do i just need to wait longer into the save? Im almost a year in.
Sometimes it seems that good players are in the scouting atm field, but they dont end up in the left field where they are confirmed to fit. They have 4 stars potential (yellow) and disappear after some time.

Any tips or suggestions?
How do you find these cheap gems? I kinda dont want to scout „every“ player and then filter for wonderkids in the media description…

Im playing Nottingham Forest atm.

So we dont know shit abt fm27 and whats SI is working on, we get the info very late sadly, but on this reddit page there is SI worker, we all know how big of a potential fm has, but it needs some refining to be perfect game, especially fm26, so in order to improve, game needs communication, it got me thinking that we as a group,can ask for addition updates, like press conference updates and etc, if we as community can agree that game lacks depth in SOME area, we can make a petition for SI to see anr HOPEFULLY they react, for me fm match engine lacks fights, like in heated games there should be some pushings more yellows, maybe some certain chants which isnt hard to add lets be honest, refined press conferences would be nice with maybe some cutscenes, this is WHAT needs to be added to fm in my opinion (if we exclude things like more data, deadline day for fuck sakes, skins, basically things they removed from fm24)

So can we as a community actually try to affect the game via agreeing the addition thats needed for the game, making petition if it gets famous maybe some content creators will pick it up and in the end we might force SOME communication from SI

Ik its late for fm27 but you never know

Which area would you like fm to improve?

This is Alexandros, a very good central midfielder from Greece.
As you can see, he only just turned 20, around 3 months before the season ended.
Last season, he made 21 senior appearances, 8 of these being a sub in the CL and 5 international caps for greece.

Barely even a month after the season finishes and he is demanding that I let him leave.
We just won the domestic treble, done well in the CL, he's on a more than fair wage for this age and play time.

I genuinely do intend to make him a starter but maybe in a season or 2.

Thankfully, he barely has any influence so I'm sure this will all just blow over, but it really is annoying that he just done a 180 on me and wants to leave.

Hey,
I‘m currently on a Zero to Hero challenge, now at the start of season 3 my reputation is still unknown, however the UK‘s womens Olympic Team ( which had a reputation of 0 ) have now acceptes my application.
I know feel like this could affect my save in a way it wouldn‘t have happened IRL.
My Question to you is:
Should I resign as manager to not boost my reputation due to thr games „bug“
or should i just keep playing?
