I have tried to tweak my formation a bit, and it'll be tested on two matches this week, so it could be a doubly good or doubly bad move!!

I am pissed off with tweaking. When I won the league I found a way of playing that I then went out and brought players for. I just tweaked it slightly for each game.

This time I have done it the other way round....brought a load of players and tried to fit them in numerous formations.

My season was over a while ago but so I'm hoping I see some players improve as updates happen. TM wise I don't think there is a lot of change.

Hero - you have last week's tactics and this week's tactics now

My season was over a while ago but so I'm hoping I see some players improve as updates happen. TM wise I don't think there is a lot of change.

I have largely done the former. I have decided how I want to play and my formation has been the same every game this season before now and my instructions have largely been the same too with minor changes.

I have also bought players who fit into a couple of positions within that system.

My tweak is not major - it is largely the same formation, but just brings one midfielder further forward and the other two slightly deeper. The idea is that my goals have dried up a little and I want to get a bit more creativity behind the striker. I'm sure I'll switch back when it doesn't work!

My squad is currently at 33.5m for next season, can reasonably hope for improvements for Palaversa, Greenwood, Saka and Emerson

Biggest movers
Badiashile - 135k > 3.6m
Bogle - 225k > 3.2m
Kabak - 270k > 5.9m
Matondo - 0 > 8.1m
Supriaga - 270k > 4.1m

The bit I don't really understand with the approach of focusing on TM gains with next season in mind is you will still only be able to buy players rated up to 75.

£30m will help a bit, but I don't think it is going to make you that much more able to build a squad of 75 rated players.

Admittedly you could buy the more expensive 75 rated players, but they'll still only be 75.

The only time that the extra money is going to really give a big advantage probably is when we get up above the 80 ratings cap, which is likely to be season 4, which at current rate will be in two years time

Now buying players below 70 now, who will be much higher rated in future updates/versions of FIFA, that makes sense

A few games before the end of this season I'm going to start lobbying for no ratings cap next season

Dolph, Marky, TAB, Renege, you're all apparently on minus budget according to the spreadsheet 

Please could you check it and tell me if I'm missing any transfers that have been made or bonuses?

It appears as though I haven't been paid for a recent domestic deal, I can't believe it, what a cheapskate! It was for my top LB as well

Any ideas who Bam?

Nope, not a clue 

In my defence, he's been paid for out of my budget, I blame a dodgy Internet banking system

La Liga update that you have all been waiting for. Some big increases for some.....

Chukwueze is going to haunt me

Nadz will be pleased!

Fixed

Renege, if your budget is out, I'll consider it settled by taking Chukwueze off you for 900k

Kangin went up to 6.75m so happy there.

Apologies didn't get the postponed game done last night, Noah broke his arm at football. Ruddy inconvenient.

Kids so selfish

Although seriously, is he okay?

A bad break?

A buckle break of his wrist/arm which is a good break as breaks go.

Hero wrote:A buckle break of his wrist/arm which is a good break as breaks go.

Ah, not so bad, relatively speaking. Exactly what I did as a teenager. I then proceeded to continue playing football with my cast one, cracked it and have ended up with a slightly wonky arm!!

Instead of proceeding to play football you should have gone to the shops to buy this instead.

Better you than me 

I've run the numbers and according to my spreadsheet combined with my page, I should have a 1.4m budget. I know that's wrong, but you'd also priced a few of my players with an extra zero, so I'm on £315k, which is about 30k less than I thought so I'm fine with that.

Will take a look at budget, think Rose release is missing from your list (101k), also thought I’d sold Dobson to Hero for 90k but doesn’t look like it, and Ledezma I should’ve confirmed was deleted (45k)

As expected, the errors are being made somewhere in between my chair and the laptop

Bam, my budget's out by £302,600:

- I've done 15 Press Conferences, not 14 (I know one was today so this isn't a mistake)
RESULT: +£100k
- I have 11 weeks of tactics bonuses, not 10
RESULT: +£200k
- The rest is the difference in the rounding of Lawyers offers.

Bam when you get chance could you look at the domestic deal I have just done. I don't want to mess up the spreadsheet by putting it in wrong and not sure how you would go about it.

I have updated my page here however.

Cheers
