I've played most of a season now, and my main issue with #FM26 is that if I want to "play" (watch) a match, even on "key highlights only", it takes 15-20 minutes to do the match. How is there not a setting for watching a game that takes only 3 mins? Am I missing something @sortitoutsi.bsky.social ?

It's the moment when he takes the medal out of the box and puts it on himself for me. That's one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen lol. He's so desperate to get it.

I’d like a group with Uruguay and Panama with England. Two ex Leeds managers, and Cape Verde to keep it interesting. Let’s hope we avoid Italy though, who’ll be in the 4th pot if they win their European playoff 😬

Big Dirty Leeds only had 29% possession, but we had a whopping 72% of the combined XG 😆 What a performance! Well worth the awful drive home over the M62. #LUFC have a new style of play and a formation that works - now use it again versus Liverpool 🦾

So Farke belatedly accepts my tactical genius and moves to a back three with two up top for the second half, and Leeds score almost immediately 😂😂😂 #LUFC
Imagine Farke deviates tactically (🙄) & plays a back 3 for Leeds today (counterattacking). Pasc, Joe & Bijol central, Bogle & Gabi wingbacks, Amps at DM, Gruev & Tanaka at CM, then a big man/little man front 2 of DCL & Gnonto so someone’s always near the target man to recycle balls out wide. #LUFC

Goals scored after Farke makes his usual 70th minute onwards subs = 1. Goals conceded after he’s generally made his first subs = 10. His use of subs to positively change a game is nonexistent 🙄 #LUFC

Wile E. Coyote ran endlessly after the Road Runner, but he was terrible at his job too. While I doubt Brendy would run at full speed off a cliff, he’d probably pass the ball into a canyon if one was there 🙄 #LUFC needed better recruitment in the summer & “running stats” don’t equal points Daniel 🤬
DF: "He represents so many skills we want for Leeds United. He works his socks off, gives everything for the team, relentless work, not perfect, but gives always everything. It's more than unfair. In his last three performances, he was always covering 13km per game." #lufc

I think Farke is now done. But at least he managed to get the players showing some fight today. Wasn’t enough, and I think it’s part Farke’s tactical shortcomings and poor player recruitment. But he should go now, to give us any chance. #LUFC 😬

Has anyone seen a headed goal scored from a corner, or a random freak goal in #FM26 ? Feels like the match engine is pretty boring unless you play for "work ball into box" at all times

Per PBS’s Nick Schifrin, it was delivered to Trump envoy Steve Witkoff by someone representing Russia. Trump and the administration pushed it. They pressured Zelenskyy to accept the terms. Allies condemned it. 2/
