Only spent £2m, mainly signed free transfers second season. Actually brought in nearly double.
I also kept Billy Gilmour + Facundo Pellestri on loan + signed Jack Whatmough from Portsmouth for 250k but they are tagged on the end of last seasons transfers.
End of October, 15 games in and I'm walking the championship. Played 15, won 12, drawn 1, lost 2. Not sure if I've stumbled across a ridiculous tactic but this years game seems a lot easier than normal.

Is the 4 1 2 2 1 still rocking? Having two inside forwards and attacking fullbacks worked for me last year!

December 1st release date for the Xbox versions. I’m intrigued what it’ll be like on the Series S using the controller. Day one purchase definitely though.Bit of info on the xbox version:

Used to be that the left thumbstick would be used to control a cursor and the d-pad would snap the cursor to whatever was in the direction you pressed. It worked quite well.December 1st release date for the Xbox versions. I’m intrigued what it’ll be like on the Series S using the controller. Day one purchase definitely though.

I'm interested to see what the loading will be like if you have 10 active leagues.
Xbox Series X/S regularly claim that the loading times on games are virtually non-existent so I wouldn’t expect that to be different for this. That being said I rarely choose 10 nations in a career anyways.Used to be that the left thumbstick would be used to control a cursor and the d-pad would snap the cursor to whatever was in the direction you pressed.

The loading times are over within seconds and most games aren't fully optimised yet but a 10 league FM save should be a good test of them!Xbox Series X/S regularly claim that the loading times on games are virtually non-existent so I wouldn’t expect that to be different for this.

5 star graphics too - although that will just be for the 3D match engine I’m guessing? It’s like a next gen LMA Manager (sure I’ve mentioned that before)
I have done that in the past but always just preferred either FM, CM or LMA on console, then I can sit on the couch and play on the tv.I thought the menu navigation with a pad on console was shite when they tried it before
If you've got a moderately powered laptop/computer then you'd be better off sticking to that over console for FM imo.
Don’t think Codemasters will bother with LMA if football manager continues to be developed for consoles as well as the PC to be honest.The loading times are over within seconds and most games aren't fully optimised yet but a 10 league FM save should be a good test of them!
Must be the match engine, although don't know how that would differ between the versions as it's never been particularly advanced.
BTW from September: "We reached out to Codemasters to ask them and received the dreaded “No plans at this time” response when it came to producing a new football management game."

They were always competing with each other initially and then both stopped about the same time (2007 or so), so not sure the presence of FM would bother them. Might have a chance of a reboot if FM does well on Xbox.Don’t think Codemasters will bother with LMA if football manager continues to be developed for consoles as well as the PC to be honest.

Just wrong in so many waysThe loading times are over within seconds and most games aren't fully optimised yet but a 10 league FM save should be a good test of them!

In the strangest move of the summer I sold Lee Burge to Chelsea for £300k.
Just started up on mine. In the first season on mine I brought in a Polish free transfer goalkeeper. Remi Matthews ended up kicking up a huge fuss over it which resulted in him being transfer listed. Saying that mind, he sort of got the last laugh as Chelsea ended up buying him for 100k and he is now sat in their reserves on 30k a week. What a random start to the season.
Any suggestions on must-do's to purchase right at the beginning?
Jason Cummings is the best player you can sign on a SAFC save. Got him for 350k in League One. Playing him as a lone striker (AF - attack) in a 4231 Wide and he's been incredible.

I've already brought in Bendtner who to be honest is forming a brilliant partnership with O'Brien, Could do with bringing Cummings in mind, but I'll need to offload Wyke, Graham or Grigg but noone seems interested in any of them (just like IRL). Did you find any of them 3 do well?
