The 5 nightmares every FM manager hates

1 min read

There are moments in Football Manager that drive us up the wall. You feel like switching off the computer and only coming back another day. But the addiction will not let you, so we keep swimming against the tide until the wind changes.

We have gathered some of those situations. See if you do not feel the anger rising just by reading.

1. Arbitragem tendenciosa

More proof that FM is more realistic than ever. After all, it happens in the game too…

2. A packed fixture list

Managers of big teams are forever complaining about the fixture list at certain times of the year. That is because they have never played FM. We virtual managers feel it firsthand, just ask our Brazilian friends.

3. In-game injuries

Injuries are part of football. Three in the same game is real bad luck. Nobody can win like that.

In-game injuries: not another one!?

4. Mass injuries

If the previous point is maddening, when your squad looks like a clinic it is enough to lose your mind. Anyone who has never had an injury crisis has never played Football Manager.

5. Dominate and lose

We saved the worst for last, the one that makes you want to quit without saving: you batter the opponent from start to finish and they win without doing anything to deserve it. And yes, we have seen it happen in real life too.

We battered them and… lost!

Which of these makes you angriest? Or do you have a worse one to add to the list?
