Annoyingly I have had to start again, thankfully was only in September.

Made the same 2 signings
Keogh on a free
Toney 3.1M

Sent Kayal back, no way am I paying that much for someone sitting not even getting on the bench.


Only annoying thing is the positions of some players

Gallagher is a DCM/CM but you stick him higher and he is out of position

Pratley is a CM but you try him as DCM and he is out of position

Currently playing

---------------Phillips---------------
Solly Keogh Lockyer Purrington
---------------Cullen---------------
----------Field         Gallagher-----------
--------------Williams--------------
----------Toney        Taylor

Bench
Amos
Oshilaja
Sarr
Forster-Caskey
Oztumer
Bonne
Leko

Kayal is quite good in FM.

I am gonna have a go on it about 2pm. Just woken up. I used to play last years one but got sacked when new owners took over. Haven't got many soare days left when I start work so gonna make the most of it.

Congrats on the new job, no doubt our paths will cross... although I work from home when do you start?

Cheers mate. No doubt I will see you when you have a 1 to 1 or meeting or something. It will be good to see you again (as with a lot of other people). 

I take it there is no parking round there?

Seriously tempted to buy it this year. The last one I got was FM13 - and even then, I still played FM11 more!

But I've finally succumbed to the Mac OS Catalina upgrade, which has ripped out all the 32-bit code (and made my laptop run a lot better in fairness).

However - and I hope someone more technological than me knows this - will I be able to run FM comfortably?

I have a Macbook Air, mid-2012:

Processor - 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 2.8GHz) with 3MB shared L3 cache

Memory - 4GB of 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory

Graphics - Intel HD Graphics 4000

Thanks in advance if you have any particular knowledge. I've cross-referenced with other websites and the Steam spec recommendations already, but I want to make sure I've read everything correctly, as there are different iterations of the processor and graphics card that I don't fully understand.

Yep you should be ok, Memory is a bit on the light side though I think.. RAM should ideally be 8gb+ for a good FM.

I'd hazard a guess you'd get 3* PC rating with all the top leagues included (England, France, Germany, Italy + Spain) with medium database.

Graphics shouldn't be too much of a concern, I had a much inferior laptop to yours before I upgraded last year and graphics were ok.

Best thing to do is try the demo. Can you upgrade your RAM? I’m sure that would help.

Unfortunately not - as it's a Mac, I'm pretty sure it's soldered on to the logic board (standard Apple operating practice).

I think I'll give the demo a whirl this evening, see what sort of game speed I can get with the big 5 leagues loaded in various configurations. 

Cheers to all above! The 12,000 hours (I know, I know) of FM11 have been great but time to say goodbye.

Google Stadia is another option, I think there’s different options available in terms of cost and resolution quality. Be interesting to find out just how fast it is when people start reviewing it.

Any idea on how I can locate my previous saved on mobile? Or best person to ask? I don't really want to start again when I was 20 games in doing ok. Not sure if because it updated or whether because I took from a game launcher app. Fingers crossed its not all lost, although looks like it is.

So after the same games played
Bowyer is 1 point and 1 goal scored ahead of me.

Inconsistency is killing me.

Started of
Win

Then 4 games without a win
Then 4 wins in a row
Then 4 games without a win

Even in a fictional world we can't beat bloody Millwall

Just started one as my local club, wasted effort for the Charlton one so fancied a challenge. I don't really know lower leagues so signed up A Barcham on a free, Auchoria (however you spell it) on loan from Charlton. 5 games in 4 wins and a draw against 2nd, early days but my striker is shit hot 8 goals in 5. See how I get on.
