Seven EFL saves to get stuck into this summer
Challenges 29.07.19 - 90min
It’s been another rollercoaster EFL season across each hectic division with teams either battling for promotion or scrapping to avoid the drop. With the season now at a close, it’s time to put yourself into the hot seat to see if you can do better than these EFL clubs this summer.
It’s easy to start at the top of the game and stay there… but working your way up through the leagues on a limited budget? That’s what it’s all about. We've asked our friends at 90min to profile seven of the most intriguing challenges in the English Football League.

Extra Time 10.07.19 - FM Admin
Here we are then, part four of our Roma Let's Play and it's January transfer window time which gives us the chance to bring a new face into the squad.
Let's jump straight into the action where we're trying to decide exactly what to do with our squad and budget in the transfer window.
AS Roma Let's Play | Part Three
Extra Time 08.07.19 - FM Admin
We’ve had some ups and downs already in this series, from the euphoria of winning our first match to dropping points in the following back-to-back games.
Part two saw us arrest that form with crucial wins over Inter, Milan and most importantly Fiorentina who we’re battling with for the second spot. Lorenzo Pellegrini is quickly establishing himself as the first name on the team sheet and a game against leaders Juventus is on the horizon. This episode is going to be massive.
To really ramp up the narrative, our win in Florence last time out was coupled with the Old Lady dropping points, giving us a chance to close the ever-expanding gap. If you want to create your own FM19 story then you can pick it up now for up to 70% off the usual asking price.
Anyway on with the show and what an opening game we have...

To celebrate Football Manager 2019 being up to 70% off until July 9th, we've decided to start a brand new save as Italian giants AS Roma and we're bringing you on the journey with us. Right, now that's out of the way, let's get down to business.
We’ve had a strong start. Okay, we’ve had a start. We have started.
A disappointing away defeat to Sassuolo was not how we wanted to get going this season. Next up we have another away trip, this time to Naples – the perfect opportunity to bounce back and erase the memories of our previous disappointment.

Preventing Injuries | Agony Aunt
Guides 10.05.19 - Mystery Mentor
Our resident Agony Aunt is here to help solve your tactical troubles and management miseries. He once beat a Spanish side 5-0 with their own B team and was immediately given the first team’s manager’s job… or so he claims.
His credentials as a FM expert are backed up by a eight year unbeaten streak on FM17 although we haven't seen physical evidence of this. As a promising youngster, he went on trial to several top clubs but fell out of favour with most of them when they refused to implement his tactical philosophy. After a freak injury caused by his pet labrador he retired from professional football and entered the world of football management. Now he's ready to pass the knowledge that he's learnt from his time in the game on to you.
