My Mate Is An FM Cult Icon HARRY ROBINSON The FM Show Podcast Episode 97

On todays episode of The FM Show, we're joined by one of the producers of one of the biggest podcasts in the game. We're proud to welcome Have A Words, Harry Robinson to the show.

Whilst the main part of the show may revolve around Harrys FIFA career, the moment of realisation on TJs face when he works out that Harrys assistant manager is a bone fide Football Manager cult icon, is priceless.

Feel free to drop a comment as to why you think it might be, and then let us know if you were right.

Football Manager Needs To Be More Simplistic The FM Show Podcast Episode 96

With Football Manager 26 potentially 6 months away, TJ, RDF Tactics and Si Maggio take some time to ponder on what the next instalment of the game might / might not include.

We speculate on the upcoming release of the next Football Manager title, emphasizing the need for better communication from developers to the community. The conversation critiques the game's mechanics for being overly complicated and proposes the introduction of new game modes to enhance user experience. We also discuss the balance between realism and enjoyment in gaming, highlighting community expectations and desires for future developments.

We express our concerns about the intelligence of AI in the game, the realism of player transfers, and the importance of developing young talent. The discussion also touches on the evolution of tactics and how the game reflects real-life football dynamics, particularly in terms of player movement and market realities.

The Great European Competition Debate The FM Show Podcast Episode 95

In todays episode, the team tread into unfamiliar territory, real football chat.

Arron is against the idea of the winners of the Europa League being given a Champions League spot (maybe cos he's an Arsenal fan and it could be Spurs?)

TJ, Si and Arron also discuss the implications of injuries on team dynamics, the importance of tactical flexibility and the effectiveness of different player roles. The discussion also touches on the significance of player attributes and how they influence tactical decisions.

On this episode of The FM Show Podcast, we welcome Chesnoid Gaming to the show who is a multi game streamer with a truly inspirational story.
