You can play football manager many ways. To me FM24 resembles a strategy and building game. It's all about creation! One area that I fixate on is building a squad that levels up in value, wins games and is well balanced. I have read many guides and they mostly say the same👇

Where was Walker on both goals? Shocking defending. A liability.

I can't match the detail of Jonny, but there are a few interesting elements preceding Ollie Watkins' goal that I think most people watching at home may have missed when he came on. It starts with this message to Jude Bellingham: "Look for me!"

Don’t wanna see any “let’s give them the first 10 minutes of second half to turn it around” they’ve had 3.5 games, it’s not working. Changes are needed

Mind-blowing Eng pressing stat from @adrianjclarke in this. Passes Per Defensive Action (PPDA) = number of passes u allow the opposition before getting the ball back. Prem best = Spurs averaging 8 (Ange’s press). Worst = Forest on 17 (sit back & soak) England last night? 28 🥴

Attention UK media over the next 5 weeks. THIS is how to deal with Nigel Farage.

Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love. Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.

Some episodes have been purely about the narrative. Others have been concept-driven. Today, I go full nerd!! An exploration of xGC, xGB & xT, how (or if) this can be applied in #FM24 and what we can learn from it! RTs appreciated. Link in the thread below 👇

“I have a cunning plan, find out who Brighton are planning to recruit to replace De Zerbi & offer him twice as much money. That way we won’t have to pay Brighton another £22m in compensation” “Todd, you’re a freaking genius. Let’s now pay Poch his £12m redundancy & clear up”
Elite investors. 😵‍💫

Can also add the way the defence doesn't transition into its 'in possession shape' until the ball is in the middle third. I'd much prefer if you could choose to get into the 'in possession' shape as soon as the 'keeper has the ball #fm24
Current #fm24 pet peeve: holding midfielders on defend duties who aren't shown as going forward on the 'counter' instruction graphic and yet steam forward like that Haaland meme gif thing Just stay back ffs

Der Letzte Tanz is complete The triple triple, made all the sweeter by beating Bayern Munich in the final of the third Champions League. This marks the end for some club legends, so it was nice to see goals from Engibarov and Elliot, alongside an assist from Fornals #FM24
