Yeah, that’s exactly what I did this season. I really focused on signing players who were even just slightly faster. Even if two players had a similar overall level, if one of them had just 1 more point in acceleration, I’d go for the faster one.
At this point, I’m starting to have a genuinely competitive team. I mean by Polish league standards. In reality, on a European scale, my squad is probably around Burnley’s IRL level, but I’m being heavily carried by the meta tactic and all the optimizations I use throughout the season.

That ensures players are in top shape during the entire season, and I try to make sure my favorite team plays the most important matches (which means I can swap teams when I have one match during the week, to make sure team A faces my rival in the league, or decisive matches in the cup).

That’s already what I’m trying to do. I sign as many players as possible who are good enough to be starters, and I give them “Regular Starter” status while constantly rotating the squad. I barely have any injuries lasting more than a week throughout the season, except during the summer pre-season.
At this point in Poland, money isn’t really the issue anymore. I’ve got around €40 million in the club’s bank account. The real limitation is simply who actually wants to come and play in an Eastern European league when it’s -10°C in November...
By the way, I should also mention that, because of an internal war between the club owner and a consortium of foreign investors, my transfer activity was completely blocked for about a month while negotiations over the takeover were being finalized.
The investors were even talking about replacing me with another manager in order to push for European qualification. I have to admit, it was completely surreal. I’d never experienced anything like that since I started playing FM26.

I always badmouth the owner of my team when they deny my requests, and never got threatened like that. Very curious behaviour.

I don’t think it was directly related to me. I think it was just a dynamic event that happened because of the rumours about a possible takeover of the club.
I took some screenshots and sent them to my friend, and he couldn’t believe it either lmao.

The message was : Rival consortiums battling for the takeover of Stal Rz.
Stal Rzeszów has attracted interest from consortiums backed respectively by Marek Poręba and Hubert Białek. Białek criticised his rival after he announced his intention to appoint a new manager if he successfully takes over the club.
Białek told Polish Football that it was unfair to give supporters such hopes at this stage and that such comments were completely disrespectful towards the current manager, Adolf.
Stal Rzeszów’s board has announced that no further transfers will be authorised, as rumours surrounding a potential takeover of the club continue to intensify.
These restrictions will remain in place until the situation regarding the club’s future becomes clearer.
Main reactions
Michael Szymala: “What does everyone see in Marek Poręba?! We need Hubert Białek! #SRZ”

It would be pretty unfair to kick the player because of a random event.
