Football Manager 2024
Managers sign large numbers of players on trial to scout ability and attributes far more cheaply than intended traditional scouting workflows.
Because out-of-contract players can sometimes be signed on favorable terms, managers repeatedly refresh the market to build strong squads below realistic cost.
Assigning players to optimized roles or intense schedules can overdevelop attributes in a gamey way that outpaces more organic squad building.
Custom corner routines targeting the near post have often scored at unrealistic rates across Football Manager editions, making them a famous tactical exploit.
Players can use carefully timed promises, praise, and squad-status management to keep morale and compliance higher than the underlying situation would normally support.
