This FM 2016 tactic has always come on top from multiple tactics testings on identical environments. Top by far.

REMEMBER it is not a plug and play tactic, there's no such thing with Football Manager 2016. So if you imagine that you are a lower league team and you will win 5-0 against FC Barcelona, then you kind of are in the wrong place.

But, you will always overachieve, no matter who you are, and where you are. If you know what to do, you will be able to pull a Leicester consistently.

This tactic is created by Mr Langvatn, not me. I just received his kind permission to post it here.

Black stars can be found on players who haven’t yet been fully scouted, or are at an age where the scout or coach doesn’t feel they can accurately state the potential of the player.

You will find the older the player becomes, the more accurate the scout or coach becomes with their rating of the player’s potential.

What are black stars in scouting?
Black stars is not a hint towards potential ability that a player can reach if managed correctly. Black stars indicate uncertainty.

You need to keep scouting the player until black stars disappear. It usually takes at least 2 weeks, but may...

There are numerous retailers you can buy your FM17 copy from, and the obvious choice is the Steam store itself. The latter becomes even more prominent after the recently introduced Steam-only loyalty scheme for Football Manager fans. This loyalty scheme is a good idea, but its Steam-exclusive implementation is quite unfair. For example, you might have bought FM16 through FM Scout and you'd qualify for a discount on Steam store, but not on our Nexway store. Steam's loyalty discount expires on October 14th though.

This is a mixture between the following 3 great skins:

• Andromeda FM16 Skin
• FM 2016 Flut Skin
• DazS8 FM16 Beta Skin

I had created an initial version of this skin over a week ago, but had to upgrade my computer and lost my work. I've taken the time and changed a hell of a lot about it. Gone through all fonts, boxes, you name it. Plus some cool extras, such as custom 3D stadiums to add to your team report screen.

The skin is made for larger resolution screens only (as that is what I have) 1920 x 1080 to be precise.
No it will not be made for smaller resolutions (as I have no idea how)

As most people know, Miles Jacobson is a Watford fan and this has been the key to developing the relationship between the Hornets and Sports Interactive.

Watford are one of two Premier League clubs to have their kits and badge licensed (the other one is Everton).

Ron Walker from the Watford Observer had the chance to talk to Miles during the "FM17 Big Reveal" live event.

Here are some key quotes from the interview.

The access we have at Watford is probably unparalleled with any other club in the game, or any other game in the world.

Watford were definitely an influence for the sports

We all know that FM is a database. It is loaded with players, leagues, information, and just an overwhelming amount of data for the simulated future and past. Now we know already that you can simulate 100 years into the future if you really wanted and see how FM simulates the footballing world. It is fun and entertaining trying to build a team with players that do not even exist in the real world.

Then a really cool idea popped into my mind – what if you could go into the past before going into the future?

What if you had the ability to not only watch the history of football unravel before...
