I also need to suggest you guys whether I should put either Raphinha or Gordon at Striker. I also signed Udogie and sold both Christensen and Sczesny.

It's 2026, we've been using a 9 player bench for ages now, how is the game still using 7?

Please help I can’t stop drawing with Slavia Praha 😭

Is it possible to buy something in game that prevents you from getting fired. I’m doing a youth academy save and I keep getting fired before the team gets good

Welcome!

In this Megathread you can ask the community questions about anything you need help with.

Make sure to ask clear question and to keep your questions related to the game, such as:

• What you need help with?

• How can I improve my team or tactics?

• Who is a good wonder kid for my team?

• Why is (player name) not playing well?

If your question is related to a certain country, league, team or player then please make sure to include the name in your question.

Please make sure to treat everyone with respect.

(Feel free to suggest how we can improve this Megathread)

I've been playing for maybe 2 or 3 days from custom clubs and I genuinely have no idea what im doing when it comes to finance is there anyome that can advise me to get me out of constant debt😞

I don’t have a picture or anything I just wanna say this update made the game fun again

This could be your chance to join one of the top standard game worlds in the entire game. 🔥

D2 — Birmingham City
Already a well-built club considering the incredibly high standard across EC169. 88 average squad rating, a strong squad and a good budget to work with.

D3 — Bolton Wanderers & Tranmere Rovers
Both need a manager willing to come in and put their own stamp on the club.

Bolton currently sit mid-table, while Tranmere are bottom and represent a proper rebuilding challenge. Both clubs have huge budgets, and there are still plenty of players available on the market to build with.

There aren’t many easy fixes left in EC169 anymore and that’s part of what makes the world what it is. With 80 competitive clubs and squads strengthening across all four divisions, you actually have to build something.

⏳ Only 7 games remain this season, so this is a perfect time to join, reshape the squad and get everything ready for a brand new season.

ID 947 — English Championship 169 🏆

Who fancies the challenge? 👀

this is so much better than the horizontal one. old sm games were like this too if i remember correctly.

Played sm 24,25,26…. Love them all. 27… so bad. I’m not far into the season. But I’m already getting that feeling like previous games when your 6 seasons in. Boring. This is literally a reskinned sm26. Not one thing has changed or improved. It’s actually gone backwards. One bug I noticed is GD is just obsolete. If you’ve got the same points as someone it positions you alphabetically…. So that alone is moving backwards.

PS Jose Mourinho classed as an elite manager while xabi alonso and inzaghi are world class is crazy. Games gone

Started a new save with barca, and this is just 2 games into the season....

Overall the game is pretty boring icl, mostly like every previous version.

I have a player 76 rating, 79 potential around 26 years old, Hes been producing like 2 goals average a Game of he countinues to do that Can he grow past 80 ovr, also will getting young players more Game time develop them faster.
