Was at a bit of a loss of where to go for
#FM24EarlyAccess
, but Positional Play™ has led me to Monterrey 🇲🇽
Even got the whiteboard out (🙈😅) and started to play around with a 3241 in possession. Not perfect, but Maxi Meza in 'the hole' is doing nice things...

Thread: a 3421 tactic in
#FM23
🧵
Brief holiday side-save to have fun with Uruguay’s best team (Peñarol) over 6 in-game months 💛🖤
Aim of 3421: be patient, control games and build around three key players that interest me: Rak, Hernández + Arezo.
We’ll start with Arezo… 1/5

Somebody has made a script for squad recruitment + released it, along with the filters:
I can't find them on here to give credit, but kudos to them. It looks really quick and easy to use 👏
🆕 Football Manager Tactics: 3241 🇲🇽
I used three player roles that trigger Positional Play rotations at CF Monterrey in Liga MX. It's magic...

#FM24EarlyAccess
The 4222 Grasscopper tactic™ has put propelled us to 6th, with three games to go. LaLiga playoffs? 🤞

Guest Blogger, tommysboy007 on Slack, has completed a hat-trick of 'Space and Overloads'. This time it's the 532/352:
☕️🏠
#FM23
Not a bad first player signing. I wanted a strong presence upfront, but with enough about him to play supportive DLF.
34-year-old Yassine Salhi 🇲🇦 ticks a lot of boxes. One year deal 🤝
#FM23
My 433 Football Manager tactic is relatively dominant/impenetrable at Spanish 3rd Division level 🇪🇸
Built on a restricted budget. Just need a little bit more magic in attacking areas now ✨
#FM23
I don't recall this ever working for me previously, but I've successfully managed to 'Take over existing loan deal' in
#FM23
Nabbed Joel López 🇪🇸 (ex Barça/Arsenal academies) for remaining 6 months of Season 1. Looks great for our level 😎
Since switching from Poacher to Advanced Forward, Lorenzo Gonzalez 🇨🇭 hasn't stopped scoring. Incredible form!

Anybody fancy designing this on a computer? Otherwise this sketch is making it onto the blog 😀🙈

Championship Manager 3 was one of my fav CM editions. I always had to go for two particular players at the time...
24-year-old Martín Palermo + 20-year old Walter Samuel. Both at Boca Juniors 🇦🇷🔥
Thank you for bringing back good memories

Seven years ago today I setup this Twitter account to chat Football Manager. A day later I published my 1st FM blog post 😲
What a hobby it’s been. Thanks for everybody’s help, whether large or small 🙌🏻

🚨 Player Recommendation 🚨
Franco Mastantuono (15-years-old) 🇦🇷 is now in Football Manager!
Doesn't look too great in my save, but high hopes IRL. Worth a scout in

SIGNING KLAXON 💰
Gerald Távara joins from Cristal 🇵🇪. €375k fee, will rotate with Sherman Cárdenas 🇨🇴 as the team's No.10
Needs a bit of work, but Technicals are already ridiculous 🔥
Question: we get scout reports on players, should we also get more detailed reports on what new signings would do financially/socially for the club? 📝🔍
Social Media footprint, merchandise sale projections, fan user group feelings etc 📈

Thanks to everybody for the support and readership over the years. It’s been fun!
Happy Fathers Day to all the FM Daddies around the globe 🌎
Real life Newgens are so much harder to manage than their virtual counterparts. They don’t come with Balanced Personalities and they have zero Player Traits.
Tutor these motherfuckers into liking FM and football ⚽️
I’m not going to come out and say that the
#FM19CaptureEvent
was the best weekend of my life (as there’s a danger Mrs Grass will read this).
But genuinely enjoyed playing
#FM19
and meeting/seeing other creators and how they ‘do things’.
The game takes a big step forward imo 💜
