Anything about spreadsheet use to improve Football Manager, or the use of special team, player and search views to display attributes for analysis.
Shithousing isn’t a new phenomenon. In Football or in Football Manager. Guido Merry for example has a great guide of shithousing in FM, and in FM23 appears to be having great success with it. If you take a look at some of my past series with the likes of Scarborough and Belfast you’ll see I’m no stranger to it either. […]

I’ve been using PPDA for about three seasons now in my Dafuge save and I’m honestly tiring of entering the […]

With survival in the bag last year we were able to take all the crazy money, both general prize and TV, and potentially spend big again. Survival was all the board would be asking for again, but with the big bucks in place I felt like we could do more. Another overhaul of the squad would be needed but we […]

I’m not the only one and recently it has been mentioned by Football Manager Therapy in their podcast, and by FMStag in their recent thread on stats in Football Manager.

So whilst his actual ghost is not haunting the Flamingo Land Stadium the general spirit and ethos of Big Sam is. It’s our first season in the Championship and we are in real danger of just going back down. We spend £3.6m […]

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 […]

It’s time for a striker health check. In previous posts I’ve covered our longball approach, fixing our right-back problems and end of season one recap. Now it’s time to check whether our strikers in season two are firing on all cylinders. We’re about 40 games into season two, so it’s almost over. But it’s not too late to check and […]
