Jay

He scored 7 goals in 32 Premier League games last season

Looks like he may have been hiding in the background. Back in training! 😇

I guess because Forest are still being linked with Fernandes, and Douglas Luiz is a central midfielder. Albeit not particularly similar to Fernandes.

For any particular reason?

The Nottingham Forest approach to staying up!

That doesn't mean other loans to buy will. Judge them on their own merits, not that of others.

It doesn't screw us IF the player is good enough for the Premier League. Big if on that!

When you then click on those tiles it then goes to 'cards' which give you a huge amount of info. The tiles give you an overview, the underlying cards are the detail. It is not a dumbing down. The tile and card system is explained in this development update for the cancelled FM25... https://share.google/WhnNT94mOVZii3IQw

It would have been quite a challenge! Our squad was terrible in the database for the now never to be FM25.

Such a game exists! You can manage teams from the Victorian age 1888 to Tony Blair's 1998.

Easier/quicker to read if you use the surnames 🥸

How much do the researchers know about the dev process? Not much. Apart from getting an idea of new features when they add new data fields into the database. Plus we get to test the game before the public see it. Were you aware before others of the shambles that was supposed to be FM25? Did they give you the silent treatment as well as the rest of the fanbase? (Particularly annoyingly after having promised to be more transparent etc.) We found out it was delayed and cancelled at the same time the public did. Were you at all concerned about the franchise dying with the FM25 failures and Unity and all that? No, the game was never going to end because of a year's delay. It makes too much money for SEGA for that to happen. Over 17 million copies of FM24 were sold. I am slightly concerned about the stuff they showed us in the last development update (iirc, spring/early summer last year?) which felt like a huge shift from the spreadsheet heavy game we have come to know and love in recent years. Can't say I've seen that. What do you think it has shifted towards? Changing from the in house game engine which restricts them, to Unity will make a huge difference. Not only in the graphics, but the user interface and pretty much every other aspect of the game. It'll still be a very stat-heavy game.

I had a Wycombe Wanderers save on the first Premier Manager game. I called myself Ian Branfoot, still regret that decsion now! It had a great theme song... But nothing beats this...

Who is going to give managing the women's team a go?
