Best Tips for Managing in Non-League in Football Manager
I had callum hulme with me at Alfreton. All went well to start off with. Made him my vice captain, and he got me something like 18 assists in the first season due to being good at taking corners.
In the second season things went to pot. I made Hulme my captain as lost previous captain to retirement. Hulme’s assists dried up (3 all season), he started getting terrible training ratings, started moaning about wanting to leave (this from my captain), we couldn’t buy a win all season, and 3 quarters of the way through the season I had to use the editor to release him because he was making everyone miserable with his weekly demands to let him go. As soon as I released him, we went on an 8 game winning streak.
Sign with caution. Defo dont make him your captain if you do sign him.
Good to know Stevie! Thanks for sharing this with us
It’s a nice list, but there’s one problem for some of these players – work permits. They are a nightmare. I even tried a download from FMScout that was supposed to remove work permits, but with no success.
Thanks mate! Which of these players have you had work permit issues with?
