Brexit is coming. How could it affect FM20 and British football?

Comments 2 Comments

Brexit is coming into FM20. No, that’s not the tagline to Boris Johnson’s Game of Thrones themed leaving-do but instead a reality that the United Kingdom is facing, whether we like it or not. Regardless of if or what you voted in the referendum, because fundamentally this is Dictate the Game and not Newsnight, many of us are sick to death of hearing about it. Britain will likely leave the European Union at the end of October. When it happens,…

What a surprise, huh? I’m used to describing my possession tactics every week; now I’ll tell you about counter-attacking slickly in FM19. Strangely, my WBA side is still set up to control possession patiently. However, there are a few alterations, which have made the passing style slightly more mixed. Obviously, I will explain this in the article below! Hamburg 1-5 West Bromwich Albion I did not expect to concede 56% of the ball in this game. I also didn’t expect…

Comments 4 Comments

Part of Great Sides of Football Manager Series We finally did it! Roma has won its 3rd Serie A title after a long 20 year drought. The fairy-tale run we had in my 2nd season, solidified my belief in Roma as the most fun club to play on FM. Luckily the club’s talented core remained unchanged in real life. So it should be another great year with AS Roma in FM20. Here are some of the reason why I love my FM19…

Last time in the lab, we worked out the attributes that formed the DNA of my hoofball side. In this post, we’ll be comparing FM19 tactics. To do that, we’ll compare that hoofball tactic against a range of others from Dictate the Game in a tactical showdown. We discovered, as a result of the analysis, that for my angry hoofballing side the (common sense) attribute of aggression was not the only key for success. So were surprise attributes like positioning…

If you’re anything like me, you’ll get to a point some time when you’re thinking about starting a new save in FM19. Recently, I was missing English football, having started my first save in Italy, and wanted to start a save in the Championship. While this is a guide for starting fresh, there are a lot of similarities to starting at a new club, so this post will be useful to those players also. Starting out well at a new…

Data is a powerful tool in the world of football. It can be even more powerful when utilised within Football Manager. This makes using data in FM19 essential. FM is essentially a huge database of attributes and statistics, which can be manipulated and analysed to produce better results for your team. In this post I’m going to outline my tips for utilising this data to improve your save.

Just as Roma was not built in a day, you cannot create a successful tactic in one season. Especially not without taking into account the input of the innovations that came before. My 4-2-3-1 tactic is no different. It took me a few months of experimenting with various tactical setups and teams to arrive to its current form. In my second season as AS Roma manager I am about to take a brave new step into the future. But first…
