    I know most people on here will already have the game but for anyone that doesn't, if you create an account with Epic Games you can download it for free until Sept 24.

    They put 3 or 4 games every week out for free and this is one of them this week.

    Available for download I’m guessing? Assuming that needs to be on to a laptop and I bet my work one will have download restrictions. Probably a blessing to be honest ......

    Currently managing Celtic who I put in the Evo-Stick Premier with Rangers to work way up through the English leagues to mix things up a bit. So far won the Evo-stick and Vanarama North and heading into the National League

    Bloody hell. Kudos, being able to win the Premier League with us. Your achievements vastly outstrip mine.

    1. The only shouts to ever use - ever, are 'get creative' and 'demand more'
    2. Long throws. Every throw in. Near stick to a lanky centre half. 10+ goals per season guaranteed if you set it up right
    3. Scout the Middle East, I got a brilliant regen Iranian striker and a good Iraqi inside forward in the last window
    4. 4-4-2 basically never works
    5. Gegenpress is overpowered in this edition

    Think that covers it :D

    What version of Windows are you using? It looks as though it says 'OS Unsupported', so could be that your operating system isn't capable of playing it.

    I am not an amazing player, but I did best using only the one striker. 451 or 541, but it all depends on what you've got.

    In my experience 4-3-3 with a defensive midfielder and two wide inside forwards (so 4-1-2-2-1)

    The specs seem to indicate that it needs to be a 64 bit version of Windows. Could that be the culprit grove?

    Epic are doing good things at the moment, giving away the likes of FM2020 for free, giving away Unreal Engine and Quixel Mixer for free and going after Apple and Google. Top stuff.

    at present coaching Doduth Hoops. Started in National North and gained promotion first season. Just started in Conference and thumped Barnet 4-0 first game.

    play attacking 4-4-2. All players signed on free transfer. I suppose I cheat by using FM Scout to target players.
    Been playing it since Champ Manager 2.
