Welcome back to Scarborough for our third season summary, and our very first in the Vanarama National. It’s always difficult to know what to expect after promotion, especially when it’s a little ahead of schedule. But we had pleased the Seagull God with the progress made, even if this season turned into a slog. Recruitment Summary With a promotion comes […]

The Football Manager and Star Trek crossover that no one asked for. We’ve had to make a change in our tactics to turn around a bit of a dip in form. We’ve gone from hoofball to brutality-ball. The last two and half seasons have been spent using a tame version of the longball that whilst aggressive probably stopped short of […]

When it comes to tactics I don’t want to rehash too much of my earlier violence and pragmatism post from FM20. But to be honest, a lot of it still applies. What is maybe a little different for Football Manager 2021 is the way I’ll be assessing it. The stats in the game are a little (a lot) bugged but […]

Dafuge and Data, that’s the plan. You might have seen me mention it on twitter or when I was kindly allowed onto GrassNGear with my doppelganger. I’ll be taking over a team as per the rules of the famous Dafuge’s challenge in FM21 and attempting to lead them to glory. But I’ll be using the power of data and statistics […]

When people talk about great teams or memorable teams they are often referring to teams with a very clear identity, a DNA that runs through them. It’s such an important part of club and team identity that this idea of a club vision or ethos has made its way into FM20. Certain teams are now categorised by their desire to […]
