Very true about the high scoring games. Gudmundsson has become amazing recently for me constantly scoring high 8s or 9. Igor is top scoring with 8 (currently in December) but Noel Hunt has been a decent buy playing as a defensive striker scoring 6.
Just drew 2-2 with Blackpool...equaliser for them coming in the 89 minute.
Scoham, I know this isn't really your area but any idea why Matic has been so crap for the past two games? In real life he's probably the best holding midfielder around but he's so bad in the game he just moved to West Ham for £4 million on mine. He must be devastated
As complex and realistic as Football Manager is, I don't think Matic is the kind of player who is as essential in the game as he is to Chelsea in real life.
Just finished my first season wow it was close despite the consistency issues I mentioned we managed to sort it out in the last 2 months
Last game of the season I needed to beat Bournemouth(14) and hope that boro got at least a point home to Brighton(Boro needed a win to be certain of 2nd spot.
Boro beat brighton 3-0 I was beating Bournemouth 2-1 and who popped up for Bournemouth, one Mr Kermorgant and the game finished 2-2 I missed out by 1 point.
3 great signings I made in January Hameur Bouazza- free agent- can play either wing Aloys Nong- free agent-forward who scores for fun Leon Barnett-Loan from Wigan-best CB I had was quality and am now desperate to sign him permanently

It's down to his clubs researcher to decide. Given he went back to Chelsea in January I guess their researcher wouldn't have wanted to change him too much based on only half a season.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's improved for the next data update.
When I started playing my most recent season I decided to email somebody for a bit of advice - roly.douchebag@cafc.co.uk.
His advice was, paint my sofa red, and my stairs yellow and get a nice green carpet. Add 5 new users with different teams and shift players between the club until you either get the right team or until you have exhausted all possible transfers. It worked at the start but soon tailed off. I emailed him again and his response was "don't keep asking me what to do, just bury your hand in the sand and hope for the best"
Guy Luzon is manager of Austria on mine, no trace of Bob and Powell took Huddersfield into the PL and has managed Fulham and Villa and now Charlton again. Curbs has been at Spurs and took Peterborough into the Premier League.
After sacking me Charlton have been through Dickov who took them down but then left them in the playoffs for Millwall! Billy Davies took them up and then Holloway took over before leaving for Birmingham.
My summary:
2014/2015 Sacked by Charlton in 16th. 2015/2016 Forest Championship and FA Cup winners. 2016/2017 Forest, 6th in PL 2017/2018 Forest, 6th in PL 2018/2019 Forest 3rd in PL 2018 / 2019 Forest 3rd in PL 2019/2020 - Forest, quit mid-season 2019/2020 joined Hannover quit after two games 2020/2021 Chelsea 5th after taking over mid-season in the bottom three. 2021/2022 - Chelsea, PL Champions, lost the FA Cup and Europa League final 2022/2023 - Chelsea, currently top of the PL and Community Shield winners.
just checked Guy Luzon left Standard in 2016 and done nothing since I have been offered so many interviews including Arsenal Liverpool Celtic Italy(offered me a job) Spain(Offered me a job)
but decided to stay at Charlton for as long as they will have me
oh and we got a new owner in my 2nd season David Stewart
Just started a new game as Charlton, played 2 pre season friendlies, lost 3-0 to FC Köln but won one for the network beating Jena 2-0, have sold Solly to Stoke for £2.5 million rising to £4 million - need a right winger, better midfielders & another striker on a budget of £2.8 million!

Grealish is a good winger on loan but JBG was good out there for me too.

my first season, I signed Bouazza on a free who done really well and upfront Aloys Nong another very decent signing
also BWP's contract is over in December so you can get him for a free which is what I done but rather than wait till December I brought his contract out for 115K
After playing 4 seasons with Charlton, I started a new game with Ebbsfleet in the conference south. Halfway through my 5th season and currently sitting 7th in the Championship. Got promoted every season so far.
After guiding them into the football league for the first time in their history, they decided to build a new stadium and name it after their legendary manager. So we now play at the Daish arena...............FFS
Hardly spent anything and my record signing is a mere £250k. Team is always made up of free transfers.
Just seems all a bit too easy for me this time around..........
Another good signing for me at Charlton was Boyata. Develops well and is Belgian and cheap! You have to play Gomez! I took him and Pope to Forest with me. And Cousins but he didn't really do it for me.

Pope for me has only played 24 games in the just over 6 years I have been here, never been first choice

He didn't develop like I thought he would. I sold him onto Chelsea when I was at Forest then sold him for Chelsea to Fulham when I took over there.
Pope didn't seem up to it in my Charlton game, so put him up for sale in my 2nd season for around £250k. Was shocked when Arsenal came in for him. He spent a year there (but didn't play) before ending up at a L1 club...........

my last 10 games anyone know how I can be more consistent
10 points away from play offs now, although I am 8th, the consistency is killing me
Just drew 2-2 with Blackpool...equaliser for them coming in the 89 minute.
Love FM but there's something seriously not right with how high scoring the games are.

Then it'll be just like real life.
