If you haven’t read the save reveal which outlines my goals for the save, I’d recommend checking it out HERE.

MY FM23 SAVE REVEAL!
WEDNESDAY, 26TH AUGUST 1998 The night that Antti Muurinen and his HJK Helsinki side made history. Two weeks after hosting French side FC Metz and grinding out a narrow 1-0 victory, HJK made the trip to Stade Saint-Symphorien and secured a 1-1 draw, and with it a place in the UEFA Champions League Group Stage … Continue reading MY FM23 SAVE REVEAL!
GOALS FROM UNUSUAL SOURCES – THE INVERTED WING-BACK
TIME TO CATCH UP… For the first time probably ever, I went months without playing Football Manager this year. After my FC Volendam save came to an abrupt halt I had a 4 or 5 season personal save with Newcastle and their millions, and then nothing. No desire, no inspiration, and quite honestly no time. … Continue reading GOALS FROM UNUSUAL SOURCES – THE INVERTED WING-BACK
MY FM22 EXPERIENCE, AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR FM23
Way, way back at the end of FM18’s life cycle I wrote a post called ‘What I learned playing FM18’. Looking back now, it was garbage! (It does still exist on the internet, but I won’t be linking it here 🙈 brownie points if you can find it!) It was a very mundane list of … Continue reading MY FM22 EXPERIENCE, AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR FM23
CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROLES WHEN USING A DOUBLE PIVOT IN FM22
NOTE: I wrote this piece for The Byline, the official Football Manager blog.Click HERE to read the published version, and a huge thanks to the guys at Football Manager for the opportunity! There’s arguably no position more important in football than central midfield. It’s extremely tough to win matches without controlling the middle of the … Continue reading CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROLES WHEN USING A DOUBLE PIVOT IN FM22
2.1 | MAKE THE MOST OF SET-PIECES
CLUB VISION. I don’t remember the last time I paid attention to set-pieces in Football Manager. I know I should, and I know the extra goal contributions could probably have seen me secure more titles than I have in my time of lethargy. This year, as I stated way back in 0.1 | DE HERSTART, … Continue reading 2.1 | MAKE THE MOST OF SET-PIECES
HEIJSMAN: “SQUAD HARMONY ISN’T A CONCERN”
FC Volendam manager Dan Heijsman denies that bringing in 9 new players has caused a rift in the squad. One new signing, goalkeeper Gabriele Marchegiani, has immediately gone out on loan due to his unhappiness at the signing of a second keeper in the window; Heijsman is understood to be angry at his conduct and … Continue reading HEIJSMAN: “SQUAD HARMONY ISN’T A CONCERN”
1.3 | TACTICAL TWEAKS AND SEASON REVIEW
DOMINATION. The league was very comfortable in the end. Despite being far more shaky in the second half of the season, losing 7 of the last 18 games, we still managed to retain our 12 point advantage by season’s end. The inability of our rivals to put real pressure on our position doesn’t diminish the … Continue reading 1.3 | TACTICAL TWEAKS AND SEASON REVIEW
1.2 | MID-SEASON ANALYSIS
HELLO DATA HUB. The winter break is here, and with half the season down, I think it’s time to properly delve into the Data Hub for the first time. After the initial buzz of seeing the Wide Centre-Back added to FM22, the Data Hub became the headline feature I was most looking forward to having … Continue reading 1.2 | MID-SEASON ANALYSIS
1.1 | IT STARTS ON THE TRAINING PITCH
GRAFT. ‘Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ TIM NOTKE With the season now underway, I’ve been putting my plan into action when it comes to training. FM21 was the first time I looked at doing my own training, inspired entirely by Fox in the Box FM’s incredible training playlist. However, I only … Continue reading 1.1 | IT STARTS ON THE TRAINING PITCH
