I honestly don't think this is a "transition year" because that term usually means things need to be overhauled. In reality, you've said it yourself: the team needs to grow. The rules for this save almost require The Chosen Ones to end up with negative injury traits because they get started so often. They didn't get rest/recovery time when they were younger, so they're literally worn out. We could potentially have avoided that problem if we could have built the facilities up faster, but even then replacements would have had to show up. I'm actually glad to see these issues show up because in previous versions of FM we could rocket up the leagues using any team with little to no trouble. That's not how it works in reality. It should be harder to achieve.
This series gave me motivation to do a chosen one save with Elvas ( in the lowest division in Portugal) and let me tell you, it's alot of fun! To make it even harder, I can only have regens from Portugal 😁 keep up the good work. PS: We want longer videos, smash the like button for stinger to see it 😂
What I do to rest all players is after a match click on the date top right it then gives you a menu days after choose the next day click on the arrow down then it says rest players I usually click 2/3 days then it rests all your players 👍
Very much a Newcastle last season, Villa this season effect playing out. If you can strengthen the squad though, injuries to the Chosen Ones may not be the worst thing ...
Your players condition is exactly why I always sign enough players to effectively be a second first team. I rotate the entire 10 outfield players every game when I have a club in European comps. Otherwise they basically can't train. This is another thing I find a little unrealistic in FM when you look at real life and how often teams actually rotate but are fit to play. Obviously with the chosen ones that's not an option. Maybe you will have to sub 5 out of the 6 chosen ones at 55-60 mins each game.
Having basically 2 strating 11's has been the way to go since the beginning of CM/FM. Having 4/5 more players in case someone gets injured. It's unrealisic because young players don't want to rot on the bench and play sparringly lol
We've brought 2 from the youth system into first teamers too. Maybe they'll cool off now the facilities have improved so we should hopefully get some quality coming through
Best FM series out there at the moment, hands down! Your story telling is excellent and the concept is 👌👌👌
Appreciate that thank you. Keeps me going comments like this

I'm with you. This stip I have added has made 'coasting' through the save impossible. Gives it an extra dimension
Another killer episode Neil. Best FM content by an absolute mile.
Thank you man! It is massively appreciated you taking the time to say that
Best series ever

Ah nice. It's a cool stipulation I think

Good tip!

Oh you are cold.

Yes! That's what I have been doing recently. Even half time I whip them out

how do you set up your scouting?
You gotta sign an aruban now.
idk if this will help with injuries but i turn down intensity of training when they aren’t peak fitness
Cheers for the suggestion
What skin do you use for the menus? Love the series btw!
That'll be tato
@ cheers!
I just wonder how did one of your players manage to breake his skull in training how
we're a committed bunch... Honestly no idea
Devastated at not developing players from the youth system? That’s literally the point of the save. FM being FM

Playing every 3 games and dont have a big squad? MANCHESTER CITY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!
such ungrateful fans and board, how are they not satisfied with how you made the club grow
Nature of the beast of success
