Hi All
Anyone managed to get ITFC up in the first couple of seasons on the new football manager, I am having a hell of a run, but the small squad and small budget is quite a challenge!
Any updates from others experiences most welcome!

Finished 6th first season and lost in the play off final 1-0.
Scored 51 goals and conceded 31, i didn't quite have the right balance attacking wise but had 57% average possession and created lots of shots and chances but couldn't take them.
I also didn't concede a goal for 11 games, despite me playing a positive style.
Currently top 2nd season after 6 games.
I got Hugil, Batth on perm deals and Demari Gray, Harry Wilson, Harrison from City in on loan. |  | | |

I started off at AFC Telford and then made my way to ITFC about 3 seasons in. They weren't doing that well but most of the squad was still there.
I got them promoted on second try, been using a very slightly modified Gegenpress template. Been great for me so far. |  |

I have done my usual first game and started with Dortmund.
Fantastic club to be they have lots of good young players and I maintain a similar approach, sign young players, develop them and give them game time and then every year sell a couple of the senior players for big money to the big boys and re-invest the money.
Always works well and seem to dominate Germany as Bayern just keep spending massive fees on players they don't need. |  | | |

I sold pretty much everyone by January. Now in February and my starting 11 is similar to the below. Sitting 14th at the moment.
Bart
Donacian -- Nisala -- Cotter -- Kenlock
Huws -- McGavin
McKendry -- Dozzell -- Ward
Folami
Just need to workout whether or not to move huws into DM and and Doz into MC.
McGavin is bloody excellent though, some cracking long passes / assists so far.
EDIT: am looking forward to the end of the season when Emmanuel / Wolf / Nydam return. [Post edited 16 Nov 2018 11:41]

Just finished my first season! Side has mainly been:
Bart
Spence Nsiala Chambers Knudsen
Nolan Skuse Allan (Hibs)
Edwards Morgan (Celtic)
Sorloth (Palace Loan)
Won the league with 83 points, a good haul playing skuse in front of back four, two wingers in Morgan and Edwards and Sorloth is a beast up front, no idea how I got him on loan for half a season, 13 goals for me!
Now how to stay up with £35m to spend......hmmmmmm | | | |

I got up in first season after scraping 6th place, no major changes to squad but a bit more firepower brought in on January.
Premier league so far is a world of pain! Bought in kodija and Dwight Gayle and both have been crap. |  |

| Football Manager 2019 - ITFC on 12:04 - Nov 16 with 5530 views | LongLegs |
On a good run on my first season, currently sitting in 4th with 10 games to go.
GK- Bart
DEF - Spence Chambers Nsisa Knudsen
MID - Skuse Huws Nolan
AM - Edwards, Piazon (Chlesea)
ST - Jackson
Not much change in the side and Nolan is an absolute beast in my game. Scores worldies all the time | | | |

I've only got the mobile version, but in my first season as Town boss, I finished 12th, topped the table in my second season, and in my third season (first season in the Premier League) I finished 4th and were also League Cup finalists! Mobile version designed to be more 'pick up and play' and it's a lot more streamlined, which makes it an easier game. Player ratings are the same, so if you're Ipswich manager I recommend playing a 4-2-3-1 with two central midfielders as box-to-box players and your wingers as inside-forwards.
Good players at Ipswich, on my playthrough:
Ellis Harrison - top scorer for two years in a row during Championship.
Ben Folami - one of the highest-rated strikers in my team now and finished second Top Goalscorer in the Premier League.
Josh Emmanuel - four star right back.
Toto Nsiala - a rock. Almost an ever-present for me.
Andre Dozzell - 20/20 for passing.
Jack Lankester - early signs he'll become a top player.
Players to sign
First season get Robert Huth in on a free. Brilliant centre back.
Eberechi Eze - plays for QPR. I signed him in PL and he's brilliant. Got Player of the Season.
Fellaini - on a free second season, two years over a 7.00 rating. |  |

Out of interest guys, I've seen the previews of the game and it looks quite in depth. Is there a quick version for those who don't really have the time to spend hours on it but maybe the occasional Friday evening |  |

I recommend FM Mobile 2019 on Apply Store and Android. £7.99 (when I bought it) and is a more streamlined, yet still addictive, version of Football Manager. Like you, I cannot justify or dedicate many hours a week on the full-version game anymore, but the mobile version is so fast. No press conferences, team talks, repeatedly hitting Continue / space bar to cycle through the days. You manage a match, and within a few clicks you can be playing the next game moments later. | |

Thanks, will have a look
I also can't risk divorce again due to a football management game lol. " just 1 more game" was always a lie..... | |

Last season I played the "Touch" version which comes with the game, I'm assuming it does this year too?
A bit more streamlined and quicker to play than the main game, I find it takes me a good couple of weeks just to get through preseason these days on the full game.
I shall purchase in January I expect. let them iron out the bugs and release the update first. |  |

Instead of buying the full game off steam, purchase FM2019 Touch this will enable you to basically play the game, without the training and a few other features, a much quicker game, but still get the proper gameplay etc. | |

This thread cost me £21.99.
I've resisted, always try to wait until January now having had badly burnt fingers in the past, went off had a read and came back with the Touch version.
Your fault Pablos | |

Armando Dobra! He is a beast on my game. He is the reason we haven't gone down I think. First season was 8 goals and 12 assists, second season 12 goals and 22 assists!
Season 3 now (11th, and 10th in first 2) now and I can't seem to get a formation that works. Playing Nolan and Nydam in the middle with Dobra behind Folami / Sears is ok, but cat't sign any defenders to cover an aging Chambers and the red-card prone Nsiala.
Also got big boys sniffing around Kenlock now so might have to sell and use the funds to bye a new back 4. But whilst in Championship there is no budget and free transfers want to much money, even in just agents fee's! |  | | |

So there is some realism there then! | |

The complete lack of realism doesn't take anything away for you? |  |

I think that’s why I can never bring myself to be Town on FM. I end up ripping the squad apart and filling it with players that we’d never sign IRL. |  |
