Main issue so far is the ridiculous amount of injuries you get. Its okay if you are a prem side with a large squad but about a month into my charlton game i didnt have enough players to make the bench. 3-4 injuries a game is a joke. Hopefully the first patch will sort this out. Currently 3rd in League one with 4 games left of the season. COYR.
May wait for the final version to come out next week in that case. How is our squad looking in general. Is anyone underrated etc?

I have only played the first two season games but Kashi has got the best rating, also Dodoo he has scored 3 goals and 1 assist playing as RM (Had too because of injuries) in these games

Generally very impressed with the ratings of our players, pretty much spot on for all of them. Marshall and Magennis probably slightly underrated.
Cool, I found Holmes frustrating on the last one. Played really well when I played him as a winger in a 4-4-2 but was always poor for me in a 4-2-3-1 as an inside forward.
Is Fosu rated realistically? I was thinking he may be pretty poor as no one really expected him to be as good as he has been.

Are you playing with a lot of closing down, high tempo, hard tackling etc?
SI have said there were always too few injuries in the game. There are now more minor injuries which is more realistic. Sometimes you'll have an injury crisis just as a club can in real life.
To help avoid too many injuries you can use the new medical centre and also check the new tactical intensity rating.

Fosu is currently my top scorer with 19 goals and also has 11 assists, he is good i think starts at 3-3.5 star league one player with potential 4/4.5 stars.

I do not use high tempo or closing down. I find the medical centre useful but when it is telling me 9 players have a high risk of injury every game and they are all in my starting 11 there isnt a huge amount I can do. As i said im sure it works fine for prem clubs with large squads but lower league teams get shafted. You need 3 quality players in each position.
Konsa is total class when played as a ball playing defender at centre back. Aribo is a great option off the bench. Page maybe slightly overrated as his potential is the highest in my squad behind Dasilva!

What about training levels? You can check players individual training intensity isn't too high.
Are they resting enough, there are options to rest from training the day before or after a game.
A further 10 games in, I’m still top and I’ve finally settled on a formation. I played it in every one of the last 10 games, I won 8, drew 1 and lost 1.
4-2-3-1 , control, fluid. Team instructions: retain possession, play out of defence, work ball into box, play wider and use offside trap with a normal defensive line.
Amos: sweeper keeper. (Short kicks to centre backs) Solly: full back support Konsa: bpd, defend Pearce: centre back, defend Da Silva: full back, attack JFC: advanced playmaker, support Kashi: BMM, defend Holmes: inside forward, support Hesketh: attacking midfielder, attack. (On loan from Southampton and has been my best player) Fosu: winger, support Magennis: target man, attack.
Fm is far too in depth for me. I still play championship manager 01-02 from time to time I still think it's the greatest football manager game of all time. I love the simplicity of it

Have you tried FM touch or FM mobile? Touch is more like 01/02.

Total games lost 8 all season (was at 5 after the first 5 games)
Amos - GK Da Silva - WB (Attack) Konsa - CD (Stopper) Pearce - CD (Defend) Solly - WB (Attack) Kashi - DLP (Defend) Joe Aribo - AP (Attack) Loanee from Everton, can't remember his name - BWM Reeves - Enganche Magennis DLF - Support KAG - AF - Attack
Attacking mentality - structured retain possession, play out of defence, work ball into box playing Fairly narrow - exploit the middle
Wonder what the trick is this year. In 17 it was playing narrow and dumping your forwards for shadow strikers. In 16 wing-backs were gods. Anyone have any idea what's working on this one?
I signed Danny Mullen from Livingston for £45k (scored 4 in 5), sold Konsa for £3m (of which I was given about £200k), signed Danny Guthrie on a free and Harry Wilson on loan from Liverpool.
Sitting in 6th after 9 games, undefeated and only now starting to click. Injuries are an issue though.
This is only the demo for now until I find a good deal on the full game

Interestingly the club is for sale straight away, although I haven't had a deal go through yet.

I checked the credits and my name is still there - I guess that's updated for the final version.

If you still prefer 01/02 people still make data updates for it - http://champman0102.co.uk
I think there's even a patch that changes the start date to the current season.
