This week we have an exclusive scoop on what Doop plans to do next after admitting defeat against the Bayern machine. We then switch our focus to the official SI winter update and who we predict will have bumps in attributes and reputations combined with a whistle stop tour of some interesting save ideas for those of you that wait until the latest update drops before starting a long term adventure in FM.

Klopp's Konundrum
This week we confirm that we are not just a Spurs podcast by discussing the situation at Liverpool and how we would try to rekindle Klopp’s earlier magic at Anfield if his current plight was happening in Football Manager. There’s also a quiz from ‘The Madden’ too.

Deadline Day Sleep Deprivation
On this week’s pod, we took inspiration from real-world football events from throughout the January transfer window and gave our opinions on how we would handle them in FM. We even stayed up well past our bedtimes just in case there was some breaking last minute transfer news (spoiler alert - there wasn’t). Mr Madden also provides you with an on-brand transfer quiz too!

The Inevitable End Of Season Slump
Another week, another podcast where we talk almost exclusively about Football Manager. Bloody hell, we better be careful, we’ve got a reputation to uphold… This week Doop updates us on his recent struggles with 1860 Munich before we enter a group therapy session about how we each try to handle the inevitable end of season slump in form.

A Gulf In Class
It’s finally time to talk proper FM again! Hooray, no more extended quizzes I hear you say… We’ve each reached a similar point in all of our saves where we’ve noticed there’s a gulf in quality after getting promoted from one league to another. So this week we talk about the difficulties we’ve had and how we’ve tried to mitigate them post promotion as well as other leagues that may have a similar jump in quality of opposition if you’re looking for a new challenge. Oh there’s even an FM themed quiz too… Sorrynotsorry.
