Avid Football Manager player Cricket fan/player. Liverpool supporter. Loves the countryside.
I'm reminded of this for some reason, and even then I'm not sure about the hind end as things stand.
The defensive drop off from Mac Allister is pretty staggering but also passes the eye test. Ditto the pass progression.
TNT comms "I can't remember too many times that the Spurs players have lost a duel", which the co-comms just backs up... Yeah, not sure about that too much.
Because Gakpo is going to Gakpo. Let's wait to see if he goes full Gakpo and manages to prevent a certain goal for us today.
The Athletic put together a video on how Liverpool could beat PSG. Take a look at the screenshot... I'm assuming that both Slot and Luis Enrique watched it, in part because Enrique said he wasn't surprised with how Liverpool set up with a back five. #LFC
Makes you wonder why Liverpool found it easier to press and win duels. A narrowness within the middle, with other players around to help out,short quick passing to play around the opponents and do so with intensity. More of the same. #LFC
Anyone ever training a goalie to be an outfield player before in FM? #FM26
Still no game week-by-game week progression league table in #FM26, so just have to make my own instead ✍️ another blog piece
It's happened again. I just came onto this screen and it looked like this. I've never put Hillman in goal to be clear
Beginning to think my blog has been featured on a podcast again, but not aware of it The US is going mad for squad building in Football Manager #FM26
My wife, who is easily bored by scoreless draws, wanted to come up with a different method of points allocation in football. Here's her rules and the outcome for the PL this season: Loss = 0 pts 0-0 = 1 pt each Score draws = 2 pts each Wins by 1-2 goals = 3 pts Wins by 3 goals or more = 4 pts
Took me a lot longer than it should due to the inability to extra data out of #FM26 (because FM26), but I've been playing around with some squad playing time to track whether they're playing enough when available to do so. Thoughts/feedback welcome.
A superb graphical illustration of how Liverpool struggled to see out the game yesterday against Wolves by @barts78.bsky.social. Dominate possession up to the final third of the game and then firefight against a team bottom of the league on only 2 points. #LFC
Things are going well in SI Towers then... The anticipated public beta update looks like it's not coming today #FM26
There is no way in hell that goal has a 0.18xG. Did you not see how high the lad had to jump to make that contact, never mind then get it on target!?
If I'm working for the Premier League, and I'm playing in the match engine of #FM26, I am not at all impressed by these kits. That is NOT a Newcastle kit, and the Liverpool third team kit isn't close either
Just played enough to report my first bug that hasn't yet been fixed in #FM26. When is a feet and inches not feet and inches when that's selected on preferences? When it's still in centimetres on the player comparison page.
