#FM26 #Trailblazer Part 2: Straight Into An Impossible Relegation Battle. Rookie #FootballManager Freja Holm gets a surprisingly early first break as she's handed the unenviable task of managing Alingsås IF.

Read here:
Trailblazer | Part 2 | Straight Into An Impossible Relegation Battle
Freja Holm walked into the world of football management as an inexperienced coach with minimal badges and a football career cut short by injury. As such, the 35-year-old Swede was expecting a long wait before finding her first club in women's football.

Defied expectations to win promotion from the Japanese 3rd tier, surely the 2nd tier will be tougher, right?

Made the decision a few weeks back that if #FM25 got delayed further (or cancelled) I'd do this save. Something I've wanted to have a proper crack at for a long time and now I have plenty of time to complete it!! #FM24
Wish me luck!

Just want to wish everyone a happy new year, last year wasn't the best for me, lots of health & mental health issues, lost a lot of friends in the FM world but I can't change the past.

2025 is going to be a great year, I am feeling healthy & positive, that's the main thing.
January 1, 2025 at 2:35 PM
After a little break I have decided to start a new save on #FM24. I'll be managing the team I support, Leicester City with a view on bringing through the academy talent and signing players from the lower leagues.

NEW #FM24 BLOG POST!

In this post, I talk about a curious Football Manager 2024 bug where retired players get 'regenerated'... but it's not what you might think.

Any reposts appreciated.
FM24: The ‘Regen Bug’
Let's talk about a potential newgen bug I've found on Football Manager 2024. In most cases, any players that FM generates - also known as 'newgens' - are entirely separate from and unrelated to any other player in the database. When Cristiano Ronaldo retires, he isn't instantly replaced with another skilful Portuguese forward who has his same elite potential. On FM24, though, some of these newly-generated players can develop...
