PSA: remember at this point you’re beta testing the game. If it’s buggy as hell thats literally the reason they’ve released it to you - so you’d do the bug hunting instead of them paying a company to do it.
Enjoying it. Gone straight to Welling. I like the improvements, as always, I think what makes the franchise as great as it is, is evolution, not revolution.
Anyone had any major problems with the beta or is it worth starting a season?
No problems so far, but I've only got up to Carabao Cup second round - Exeter at home, next game.
So far off to a good start:
Blackburn W 1-0 (Cullen) CC Leyton Orient W 2-0 (Leko 2) Stoke W 1-0 (Taylor) Forest W 3-1 (Taylor, Gallagher, Cullen) Barnsley D 1-1 (Oztumer) Brentford D 0-0

What formation are you using with us?
At the moment trying the diamond 4-4-2
GK Phillips
DR Solly DRC Lockyer DLC Pearce DL Purrington
DM Field
CMR Cullen CML Gallagher
AMC Williams
STR Taylor STL Hemed
Solly out for Matthews for midweek games. Kayal occasionally coming in for Cullen or Gallagher. Oztumer swapping in for Williams.
Amos, Sarr, Bonne, Leko all on the bench regularly.
Others only been used for CC game so far.
Field has been really good in the DM position, our best player so far. Taylor, Purrington, Cullen and Gallagher have all been pretty good.
Williams is a bit hit and miss so far. If he doesn't sort himself out soon Oztumer will definitely be playing more.
Kayal got injured early on so terminated his loan to free up wages. Got in Brewster on loan from Liverpool, Maghoma from Birmingham, Joao Luiz, Ben Marshall and Jordon Mutch on a free. In January sold Hemed and bought in Tommie Hoban on a free and Lewis Coyle from Leeds for £100k.
Taylor wants to leave at the end of the season to move to a bigger club. Moved to Slavia Prague on my go for £5.25m. You get c. £30m and £450k wages in the prem. There are a lot of good loans around including Patrick Roberts, Brewster (again) and some foreign players.

Football Manager 2020 Mobile is out November 19th 😍
Some interesting stuff there, looking forward to the reserve league being added, fed up with trying to send all my youth players out on loan to try and get game time haha
The game only really became challenging once I got to the Prem.
Used Gegenpress (4-3-2) to get to where I am, but struggling with it now. Generally don't like using wingers as like to fill as few positions as possible.
I haven't been working since the Beta came out, which has helped, and play a fair bit.
Also, outside of transfer windows in the lower leagues I tend to sim a lot of seasons once it is clear that relegation/promotion is not something that will happen, so sometimes I will sim Jan-May for example.

You've done that playing with 10 men? Even more impressive!
I have bought this game in advance this time. I thought that was odd I can download it now and notice it is the Beta Version. What is the difference between the Beta one and the real one? Is it worth doing the Beta one when then proper one is out on the 19th? I am assuming Steam will update with a download on the 19th or is it a separate game? Can I start playing now as "normal" and then carry on where I left off as and when Steam does an update on the 19th? Does the beta version have exactly the same game as the real thing?

Play the beta and it automatically switches over to the full game.. you dont need to start again when the full game is released.

I’m sure there’s already somebody working on a patch for them anyway...
Almost ready for first pre-season game. Got most of my backroom additions in though. Headline signing Kim Kallstrom as DoF
Used to be a proper wonderkid, would always sign for Arsenal or any Premier league team I bought in the old versions!
So far off to a good start:
Blackburn W 1-0 (Cullen)
CC Leyton Orient W 2-0 (Leko 2)
Stoke W 1-0 (Taylor)
Forest W 3-1 (Taylor, Gallagher, Cullen)
Barnsley D 1-1 (Oztumer)
Brentford D 0-0

Just asking before I switch my tactics in the middle of pre season... :-)
Lower leagues 4-4-2 with Control posessions.
Higher leagues 4-2-3-1 with gegenpress
