Fun fact: the 107 points that Leicester got in this would actually be the championship record, and this is even more impressive when you factor in the 2 games against the Legends team so realistically they got 107 from 2 less matches

[@Aggelaki777]

my guess is because they gave him a perfect left and right foot, football manager just assigned his "strong foot" to his left rather than his right as they were the same

[@hjge1012]

Whoever made that database, did Cruyff pretty dirty. He was way better than that.

[@avenage]

I think this is a good example of how frustrating the match engine is, or at least how its decisions get depicted on the pitch can be. The number of times I've seen defenders and goalkeepers knocking the ball around in their own penalty box to then give the ball away and concede is too damn high!

[@tdogg619]

It’s realistic even the best team in the world can loose

[@RagtagOcean]

@tdogg619the issue isn’t losing, it’s doing it in such a manner where it feels like the defenders don’t have a single brain cell

[@avenage]

​@tdogg619 it's not so much about losing, as how the game depicts it with unforced errors. A great example of this is to have a team in say league 1 in England and you are dominating, you win almost every game 3-0 or thereabouts. But then you play a prem team in the cup and suddenly your players can't string two passes together. Again, I'm not expecting to win that match, but I'm expecting the prem team to outplay me, not for me to gift them 3 goals by half time due to silly mistakes.

[@genericwhitemale9566]

​@avenage The match we see is only there so we aren't just staring at a stats screen or a spreadsheet each game, it's almost never actually accurate to what's going on in the actual simulation. The amount of times I have seen a player shoot and basically have the ball defy the laws of physics to miss the net is mind boggling. The amount of times I have seen my midfielders literally stand as still as a statue so they lose possession of the ball makes me want to cry. The amount of times my defenders have just moved out of the way so their forwards can continue their attack makes me want to punch my screen.

So a quick tip on how to fix the faces, if you turn on ids in the game then you can see the id for every player, club, league ect. and with that you can go into the facepack and every file should be named after an id and so you can just rename them to make it fit. Hope this helps :)

There is another way to win the Champions League from the Championship and it's probably easier: win the Champions League and deliberately get relegated from the Prem and then you can do it.

[@Nasiulciaa]

it will still be winning the CL while in the Prem, you'd need to win the CL again while in the championship and not get sacked at the same time

[@RichardGadsden]

@@Nasiulciaa Yes, you'd need to win it again - but that's probably an easier way to qualify for the CL than winning the FA Cup and the Europa League in consecutive seasons (or the EFL Cup, then the Conference League, then the Europa League)

[@cesarlemos1337]

If you wanna make it better, you should probably have a squad of 35 or 40 players, with 4~5 GKs, a few more defenders, such as DMDFs. I'm pretty sure many of these players were getting too tired all the time so they weren't making plays after a certain period of the game. I had the same problem playing casually and building a quite small squad.

[@samhorstcraft7913]

My save idea is a pink slips save. It would work best in an online save where you put your best players on the line against one another. But offline you can do it with the CPU, if you win you get there best player and they get your worst, a draw is 2 players of even quality and a loss is your best for their worst. I'd restrict it to the match day squad for who you can swap and to the core registered team (25 if playing in England) to avoid you putting terrible youngsters on the bench if you win.

[@NewportCityNightmare]

Should of name the team "ive barely seen any these players play fc"

[@natalkumar6132]

1 way to do the challenge is to find a team of Youngsters, develop them via loans and practice matches and training and giving them only match time for winning matches or drawing and getting relegated to Championship and winning the league cup. Then finishing 3rd 3 years in a row while winning the Conference League, Europe League and Champions League with these players. Coming 3rd is easy, just lose every 4th match. You can just by playing players out of position. Keep the board happy by winning the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League and the CL will be the crowning achievement with Promotion that season. Then waltz the PL with your squad of youth.
