Welcome to FM Tahiti
Welcome to the FMTahiti blog. I’m a long time Championship and Football Manager player who has found themselves drawn towards saves in odd, edited, databases. I also love statistics, analysis and tactics (especially hoofball).
I’ve dabbled in YouTube, host the Dictate the Game podcast from time to time, and write for the Dictate the Game website.
Below you can browse posts about my save games in my custom Semi-Fictional French Polynesia, Football Manager and Statistics, and other stories/blogs.
