See scoutingWhy it exists
Most saves die by season three.
You win the league, the squad is set, and the game stops asking anything of you. And when a match goes wrong, the game shows you numbers but never tells you what to change.
FM Gaffer gives every save a goal it checks for you, and every match a plan it explains.
