FM16 release date: November 13th, beta out now
FAQ:
>Can you post X player pls?
Yes but search this thread and the previous ones please, nobody wants to see some meme player for the 100th time today.

>>63488175
Miles says there are tens of thousands of data changes in the release candidate vs the beta. I'm sure most are very tiny but anybody started a new save and seen any significantly tweaked players?
Remember to load Iran when making a save so you can nab the 17yr EPL quality CAM for 17k
>>63488254
Injuries are still OTT, literally injuries force me to rotate my whole squad there's no need for planning
Player values still fucked
>>63488301
I'd like him and Humam Tariq to have a Messi/Ronaldo style rivalry
>>63488335
>Injuries are still OTT
>>>/facebook/
>>63488335
I'm talking player data.
And injuries and values were never broken. Hope you're baiting because if you seriously believe either are broken you are actually full pleb.
what is that name supposed to be? cosmin balaur the first?
>>63488469
Yes
>tfw going to not score a goal in CL and go through to the EL knockout
>>63488515
>Match fixing
>>63488522
End up scoring a 90th minute penalty to ruin that. Aim now to make the EL without winning a game, just need to draw the last group game and I'm good
>>63488556
10-0-0
Lost my first 3 PL games after back-to-back-to-back promotions- each by a single late goal.
Average wage is under £10k/week and I'm already over budget.
How do I keep this team up?
Bertrand Traore for 10mil bong, worth it?

>>63488792
FB - D was from the last game when I had to put a CB in RB.
Midfield 3 i'm just trying different things. Usually I'll do BWM / BBM - DLP.
I only got promotions by just relentlessly attacking, was hoping I could just skin enough points to avoid relegation
>>63488619
tfw i almost got mad at you for cheating to skip promotions then realised you're not on FM16
check out my hulk hogan
>>63488890
Does Miles think the handlebar moustache is going to make a big comeback in 10 or 20 years? Is FM16 just his way of subtly influencing this to be the case?
>>63488955
Maybe.
It was actually the first time I saw a handlebar moustache in FM
This happened on FM15 tho.
Lads how do you poach Regens on regen day? Mine is fast approaching for this year and I want to get the best ones without the bigclubs poaching them first.
this is the guardian's team of the season so far
>>63489006
offer them contracts...?
>>63488619
You could start by making a tactic that makes sense
>>63489032
Sagna over Bellerin for me but the rest seems fine
>>63489032
Not too sure about any of the Arsenal players in there but the rest can't really be argued. Personally would say Clyne, Cresswell and Willian.
>>63489034
All of them bar my own always seem to have contracts in place already
>>63489079
Maybe they changed it?
Anyone able to confirm/deny?
>>63489088
It's been like that since 2014, afaik. Didn't do much regen hunting before that.
But, that's for the big clubs (basically any tier 1 on any national pyramid). Smaller clubs, Amateur/Semi-Pro clubs will wait on giving contracts and you can steal those regens.
Also, a lot of the time good regens will only have youth contracts, so you can offer them a full time one with you.
>>63489088
Sorry should of said I'm using FM15 I don't know if its a contract or because they are on trial at a club? But the only way for me to snag someone elses regen is to try and put in a small bid and hope the counter offer isn't 50mil
>>63489103
Ah, skipped 14 and 15, thanks
The top 1% lads can pop up literally anywhere, so never give up the search!
>>63489103
This is exactly what I was looking for thank you
>>63489121
I'll be keeping my eyes peeled to the lower leagues of the world from now on
>>63489062
>implying Mesut "Ogre of Vision" Ozil isn't GOAT
the swansea LW guy is better than payet anyway
>>63489032
Fernandinho instead of Cazorla is bullshit
so is monreal over cresswell, and Pelle over Ighalo is arguably wrong, also think Kosc has a decent shout of being ahead of Van Dijk
>tfw game crashes after 1hr15min of fine comb scouting, tweaking and prepping, and you lose your win 2-1 over ManU
>>63489032
Not sure about Monreal, Fernandinho and de Gea desu
Hertha Berlin is such an awkward club, I think this'll be the best formation
>>63489373
please tell me you're not done and you don't plan on using two AP
>>63489395
is using 2 aps bad in 16?
>>63489426
using 2 aps is bad forever.
>>63489395
I fucked up once and it worked strangely well,. might've just been a coincidence though

>tfw score 90th minute goal to keep unbeaten season going
16 games down, 17 to go
>>63489851
The longer the unbeaten streak goes on the more heartbreaking the inevitable loss is
>>63489870
Anything after 22 will be frustrating because I'd have played them twice previously
>>63489870
>>63489851
>tfw in my first 16 save with Lazio unbeaten until the very last game when we lost at home to some mid-table side

2nd season now he hasnt score yet lol
>>63489912
i'd have to load up the game senpai, which is haram atm
but in general good players that do well with other clubs also play shitty for me.
like gabi barbosa - european top scorer for chelsea one save, then in another save i buy him to be my cheese and he underperforms for eternity
Can anyone recommend me a decent young-ish LWB? I'm having trouble finding one for a reasonable price.

>>63490016
Check out Douglas Santos
The match that shall be forever known as "The Phil Derby"
>>63490614
I've reached my non-eu player signing limit for this season unfortunately and I need a LWB for this season. In another save Oscar Wendt was transfer listed and did a great job for me but it doesn't look like I'll be able to get him this time.
>>63490699
Fucking Italian non-EU rules, Douggy should be available for ±5m too
Try Riedewald?
>>63490733
He isn't a natural LWB. I've got 2 decent options at the position right now so I might just leave it at that and hope someone gets transfer listed in January. I also need to buy a solid CB for around 3-4mil and that won't leave much left to buy a LWB.
Any way to see who gave away penalties in the team?
Pretty sure my best defender and some bit-part midfielder have given away 6 this season between them
>>63490923
nope. something i'd like to see as well though.
lads im fed up playing a season with only 38 games in it
whats the league with the most games played per team?
>>63491081
Brazil
>>63491081
>wanting more games per season
>>63491081
Brazil has a state championship that adds about 20 official games (if you get to the final), or there are 30 teams in the Argie league
>>63491081
Team competing in the Nordestão in Brazil
Could easily break 100 matches if you get continental football too
Sign of things to come?
>>63491189
could see it happening but no way he gets a goal and an assist on his debut
>>63489032
Would've had Alderweireld in for van Dijk.
>>63491228
It was against FC Lorient though
>>63491228
It's Ligue 1 m8

The Slovakian 2nd division is so retarded. It consists of 2 divisions - West and East - which come together after 22 games to form a Promotion and Relegation league.
Points do not get reset however so the best teams in babby's first league (East) have raped the shite teams so hard that when the leagues merge I'm 9 points behind them. Fucking bullshit.
Can't wait to get out of this shitty Slav country.
i really want to do a palace save, but i dunno if i should wait till 16 is fully released or start a new 15 save as them

How easily can I convert the /trb/ database to FM16? I don't know how to do this, nor am I particularly interested in learning if it requires effort. I don't want to make that damn DB twice.
>>63492921
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Have fun making it again, macca.
>>63492931
Implying i'm making it again when I saw 3 people playing saves on the original one in the first place.
>>63492953
I'm probably going to make another db, but certainly not with the amount of effort that went into yours.
>>63492973
Oh I'll make shitty fun DBs too sure, but I don't feel like making another /trb/ DB when so many people seemed excited to play it until it was actually realeased and nobody did lmao
>>63492953
>>63492993
Makes me sad desu. It was a good thing and I'm sure it would've been more successful had it been available before /trb/ went into ded and waiting for FM16 stage.
I hope you will redo it but I know how hard it was to make it work.

>>63493056
baseball's top hitler award is far more prestigious
>>63493067
Miles made it sound like Injuries had been revamped pretty hard in the way they're designed in the editor so I'd imagine that even if by some miracle you can just open it in the 16 editor and have it work you'll still pretty much be forced to redo all the injuries.

>Female professional player destroys myth that women footballers aren't good by playing well against a bunch of amateurs who are at least 10 years past their prime and well overweight
Media pls.
>>63494339
Yeah, I got lucky in the offseason too when Carpi bought one of my shitty midfielders for 10mil. Managed to raise around 45mil in transfer funds and I've brought in Giminez, Balanta, Calleri, and Horn. I also bought Ole Kristian Selnaes for 2.2mil who has an 8.10 match rating in 15 appearances. It's a shame I'll probably never be able to win the title since Juve is always unstoppable.
>>63494401
In my save they were shit the second season after Allegri left and they hired Tata so there's hope.
>>63494439
That would be nice. They beat me 6-1 earlier in the year which was awful for morale.
Is Leonel Vangioni always available on a free transfer? I just noticed that Liverpool signed him and he's worth 30.5mil.

Love them for a high pressing high line 5 man defense.
>>63495414
theres nothing better. its a shame theyre so rare.
>>63495414
I love them but it's really hard to find decent ones. I'm managing Torino right now and was using Glik as a sweeper but I abandoned the tactic once he was out for a month and I didn't have anyone to replace him.
fuck, i'm drunk. tomorrow is going to suck.

I guess being 40th all time so far isn't so bad :^)
>>63497384
You're not a starter, so it's hard for you to lose. I'm really surprised you had 8 losses as a rookie. That's gotta be a team record for losses.
>>63497440
so i was misreading it. still, other than that first year, it still looks pretty goo, right? i'll take it

You're not awful, I guess. :^)

Completely missed the train on that, I thought it was something like 30-40.
>>63499521
Even at 30mil it would be a ridiculous amount of money.

Sure but 30 million is still more common for a central defender than 50.

Even if he did that, there's a huge difference between good attributes for a limited defender and a complete wingback.

Literally this
Nigga I didn't even say shit last time
>>63501339
True, but you can at least have someone who's not on a red rating in that position and switch your tictacs a bit
>>63501345
You are not wrong, but it still doesn't change the fucking fact that 3 of my CWBs are injured just before CL Group Stage games
>>63501358
And I completely understand your pain as before CL final basically all of my wing backs besides one were dead and I had to use my CB as LB
he still played good though
