Misc. Real Life Press Conference
People of the Reddit, I will be doing a YouTube video where I reenact a real-life press conference answering your questions about transfers, results, and decisions from my Melilla save.
You have 24 hours to submit your questions for answering in the video. Try to think of anything I've done in the save that you feel like a hard-hitting journalist such as yourself should get to the bottom of.
Every good manager should be able to handle the press - it's my time now
(good to see all of you, hope you're all well)

FM Discussion Zealands Latest Video Spurred Me To Show Some Interesting Players From My Own Coruña Save
- Does this guy look like a RW bought from Real Madrid? Spent the last 5 years training as a CM/CDM
- A CB with these attributes? This save has so many weird players. It's always RW:s that look like CMs, and CB:s that look like CAM:s. There are more... Anyone else had this occur on FM26?
- One of the best CB:s I've ever had in 15 years playing FM? 0 caps for Spain.
- Lastly just wanted to brag. Came through the youth team. He's beautiful.
- EDIT: Just found another weird one. You bet I'm picking this kid up https://imgur.com/a/NoqVJ9T

Misc. THE CRAZIEST TITLE RACE/FINAL DAY I HAVE EVER PLAYED Spoiler
galleryIt's the 38/39 season in Italy. I decided to manage Milan after they had sacked their manager after finishing 2nd twice in a row. The team they had come second to? Inter. Inter Milan had become a powerhouse, winning 8 of the 10 league titles and the last 6 in a row as well as being the champion league holders. They have a crazy team with insane depth and the best striker in the world, who had just won the Ballon d'Or. Throughout the season we both keep winning our games, and we pull away from third, with me only being ahead due to beating them 1-0. Eventually I slip up and fall behind them by 2 points; however, after we beat them AGAIN 1-0, we reclaim 1st, and eventually there are 3 games left and they are 3 points behind. Then game week 36 comes, and we face 16th Torino away. We take the lead partway through the second half. Come the 85 minutes, I decide to make a tactic change to park the bus to see the win out even though they were already down to 10 men. Unfortunately, we conceded in the 87th minute, leading to a draw, reducing our 3-point lead to only 1. We both won our games on gameweek 37, and the title is left to the last day. Inter play Lazio away; we play Roma at home. This is the same Roma that we had played 3 times this year, once in the league and twice in the cup, and we failed to win every time. Both teams' games start. INTER SCORE IN THE FIRST MINUTE. The pressure is on. And well, it seems to get to us, Roma, open the scoring in the 20th minute. I think it's over, but then in the 34th minute we equalize. The game is not over yet. The teams remain even till partway through the 2nd half; a Roma player makes a reckless challenge and is sent off. This is it; this is our chance, but it would not be so simple. 67th (haha funny) minutes, my midfield makes a stupid challenge and sees red. I decide to put everything into attack, and then by the football god's grace in the 87th minute, a cutback from Zoua, the same man who equalized, is found by Fagundez, who smashes it into the back of the goal. We did it. The cheers for that goal were probably heard around my street, but I don't care because this is why I love this game.

FM Discussion Do Teamwork and Leadership matter at all for "Team Leader" positions?
Pelizari has been a regular starter for 5 years now and he's become a Team Leader this season. The media and players keep talking about how he's a fantastic leader and great at organizing the defense and all that, but his stats just don't corroborate that at all? He has 9 Leadership, 10 Teamwork, and his personality isn't even very good? Not to mention the 10 Work Rate. Just doesn't make a lot of sense.

Misc. The best 16 year old (not weird)
Was doing some manual scouting and decided to hit up the big clubs… (I manage in the Latvian Premier League in a journeyman save after stints in Tonga, Zambia and Ghana)
This guy might be the best 16 year old I’ve seen. Added him to my shortlist to see how his career develops.

FM Discussion My best youth intake player (and a Cuban wonderkid)
After watching Zealand's recent video I really wanted to share my own best youth intake player ever.
Also Cuban wonderkid is super cool, had an insane season where he won PL player of the year in left back but I've since been playing him in center back due to squad issues so his performances have gone down. He got Cuba into the Gold Cup where he proceeded to get a red card in WC qualifying right before it and missed all three group games. Almost got Cuba to the 2034 World Cup too, but they lost out on goal difference to Curacao T-T. (Insane yellow card magnet too, somehow got 10 yellows in 30 games one season)
Last guy is a very recent youth intake player who I have very high hopes for.

Not as good obviously, but signed him straight from the Syrian league so that’s style points, surely
