FM Memes That Make Me Feel Seen

[@CammyBouse]

The disallowed goals hat-trick thing would 100% happen to Alvaro Morata.

[@adrian225]

It already did, he once had 3 goals disallowed in a game due to being offside

[@Ofir-gq8qm]

LOL 😂 I am the one who posted this to the subreddit

happened to Son last match too lmao

[@daMozart]

Großkreuz really was in Goal for the last few minutes of a match against Hoffenheim when his keeper Weidenfeller got sent off.

[@aceholepictures]

Clean sheet?

[@daMozart]

@@aceholepictures Nope, Weidenfeller got sent off and a penalty against them. The penalty went in

[@zinematicgaming]

In FM19 I had about 6-7 legendary players as staff. Bergkamp was one of them. Cristiano Ronaldo was my assistant😂.

[@Ninjakiw1]

I did the "hire a famous player as a coach" thing by accident, I needed a new goalkeeping coach and just chose the best option without looking at the name, it was only when I had to confirm the signing and noticed his last name "Mignolet" and I was like, hold on a minute.

[@torgeirmacqueen8226]

Van persie does well too

[@LiftandCoa]

In my greatest ever FM save i signed "René Higuita" as a GK coach around the year 2025. About a decade later i looked over my staff and had a hard think to myself "Damn, you know that name" - i googled him and realized that my goalkeepers where trained my EL LOCO for the past decade. I was proud.

[@wiseguy100]

Whilst I was laughing at that meme about signing retired players as staff...I was signing David Trezeguet as a scout. Lol.

[@Hotsauce9]

And he is one of the best scouts in the game

[@thekube88]

Trezeguet is a decent scout, so that worked out well ha ha

[@LiftandCoa]

Trez is a great scout in the game tho. A few years ago i always signed Stéphane Chapuisat (i dont know how famous he is, i know him because he played bundesliga for the entire 90s) because he had high values and a ridiclous amount of "known" countries from South America, over Europe to Africa. Then from one FM to another (21 to 22 OR 22 to 23) he lost all his knowledge about any country but Switzerland. I imagine he proclaimed to never leave this big rock again haha

[@Kejmur]

I would love to see the FM version of Jorge Campos - a former striker and goalkeeper simultaneously, one of the best in both roles. Very eccentric.

[@hugoiwata]

The line where it becomes bullying isn't at 6x0. It is at 7x1.

[@TheRadPlayer]

I'm pretty sure "striking the corner-flag for a bounce" is a Flair move that was added into FM24. Seen it myself a couple of times from players that liked to do tricks.

[@Nicholascagesmandolin]

I used to love signing kevin grobkeutz in the early 2010s. The man sat on my bench for years just covering every position on the pitch so i could have five attackers on the bench with him

[@aw2584]

Video idea: pick a list of players from clubs around your home area (to keep it simple), and scout them, ranking their skills the same way theyre ranked in FM, and then compare your judgement with what FM gave these players. Bonus points if you can go watch them live during games or training (hence the local only idea), with KZbin highlights or game recordings being a secondary source.

[@headstart_0g517]

I have a CB with 20 jumping reach in my danish save. 2.04m tall. It's always a scene to behold when he awaits a corner. 😂

[@kiweping5]

About the one with the 2 very deep shadow strikers, originally they were central midfielders with regular central midfielder roles, then his assistant manager suggested for him to change one of them to a shadow striker and it changed the role but not the position and he did the same thing for the other player as well

[@maxgraf438]

Noah Atobulu is a gem... love to see him every week...

[@halcalaquende9952]

The line for bullying is 5 goals in the first half, after that you are allowed a maximum of 2 more if you let the opponent also get one in the second half

[@JimTheFly]

First off: I actually worked for a number of years with someone named Loan. So that's been a name for a while now. And with the ref-kit glitch: That just made me think of the Fumble Dimension NBA2K glitch where at the end of the season, no matter what, there would be a player wearing a Detroit Pistons jersey in the trophy ceremony.

[@phrophetsamgames]

I remember when I finally found CR7 a few years after he retied at ManUtd. He became manager for Milan almost immediately after they sacked their last manager and he won them a Serie A, Copa Italia, and a Super Copa before being sacked and moving to Leverkeusen, winning a DFB-Pokal and a Supercup but always staying at 2nd place behind Bayern.

[@AmazingChi]

To answer the last question as well. That's the pass map, not the average position graph. That's just where your striker is for the majority of the passes he makes.

[@mytamorph]

Technically the Luan Candido slide was correct. He is under contract with RB Leipzig and just loaned out. So technically he is a player of a German club

[@kieronparr3403]

Yeah I thought that

[@aaap6516]

I'm the guy made that meme and in my save file, he was at a Brazilian club permanently, no loan. I was very confused but clearly there is some small glitch in my file or the game because he is technically based in Germany in my game while playing for a Brazilian team

[@88balloonsonthewall70]

@@aaap6516 No german second nationality?

[@aaap6516]

Not in my save file. He's only Brazilian which is weird@@88balloonsonthewall70

[@DrZaius3141]

I've bought the new FM for the first time since FM20. I was memebly surprised when I saw that in some stadiums, I can still have the floodlights be directly in front of the camera so I don't see the action on the pitch.

[@zergos921221]

After seeing the jumping reach meme, I have to say this. I'm playing as Lugano and Roberts Uldrikis from Latvia actually has 20 with 16 heading. Real player by the way and doesn't cost much, but bangs 20 goals a season. Enjoy

„5:0 could have been a competitive game“ Lewandowski just sitting there after 9 min

[@simplesimonhadapie]

That happened to me with the goalkeeper with 1 on the books mostly as the team i took over had an annual wage budget of £600 and it was full when i got there. I did sign a keeper who wanted £20 an appearance but settled for £1 as it was all i could offer. Would have been better putting a post in goals. Added an edit for the shout-out to the saudis robbing us props to the knowledge!

[@bigrandomun9267]

I tried approaching Micah Richards when in my save, he was assistant coach for Weymouth. Couldn’t get him though for my crested club, Bloomfield United.

I've ALWAYS had a goalkeeper on the bench, ever since I started playing CM in 1998. Feeling quite smug in FM24

Literary a few hours ago I signed Zlatan for Torino in my journeyman save as the AssMan. His attributes aren’t good enough for the position, but having a former Juve star player in Torino is just too good to pass up.

Oh, and despite my keeper getting injured, I still don't have a spare on the bench, it's so rare that it's just not worth it.
