Great Sides of FM – Valencia, The Forgotten World-class Club

Great Sides of FM – Valencia, The Forgotten World-class Club

Part of Great Sides of Football Manager Series Last year I did a club highlight article on why AS Roma was a fun club to play in FM19. It is still the case in this year’s version. If you want to manage in Italy, Roma is never a bad choice. With FM20 release looming around the corner, I decided to highlight another club. It is a team that probably does not need an introduction but definitely deserves one. The club…

Hoofball Bringing it back for FM20

Hoofball Bringing it back for FM20

  Whether you call it Hoofball, Longball, Kick and Rush or Route One, as a tactical approach it has had a long history in Football. Sticking it in the mixer might be something you would expect to see more in the lower leagues than in the Premiership or the Champions League but teams like Bolton, Stoke and Wimbledon all claimed plenty of scalps. There’s no reason you can’t play like Big Sam and Pulisball your way to the top in…

Young Devils – Recreating Bielsa’s 3-3-1-3 Tactic in FM20

Young Devils – Recreating Bielsa’s 3-3-1-3 Tactic in FM20

Recreating Bielsa’s 3-3-1-3 tactic has always been my football manager dream. I had some success in previous years but the tactics never worked exactly as planned. Halfbacks not working, wingbacks not advancing enough, too many crosses. In short, I could not recreate Bielsa’s ideas to my satisfaction. With FM20 and an improved match engine, I’m hoping to finally do it in my Man Utd project.

FM20 new features: how the game is an improvement over FM19

This year, I think I felt even more underwhelmed than usual. Being able to delegate the role of shouting from the touchline was one of the heights of the FM20 new features announced. Almost everyone I spoke to felt the same way. There wasn’t much to be excited about before the FM20 beta came out, but it was still a chance to start afresh with updated squads. Yet the game feels more professional and realistic. Let me explain!
