My website is back!
So far there are working links for my Tactical Effectiveness article, FM27 Custom Views, Links to Mods and Downloads and the preservation of @LatteQuarterly.
Stories, guides and more to follow.

Following some great suggestions from @FMRocknrolla, I tweaked the calculations and updated the article!
#FM27
Are your highest earners actually your best value players?
I built a Player Value Index for Football Manager to find out.
Is it rigorous football analytics? Absolutely not.
Is it a fun way of spotting which players are giving you the biggest return on your wage bill? I think so.

need a Saturday morning read with your coffee? Perhaps a long form article for the discerning football fan?
Introducing the first of the "Beyond the Badge" series - a longer-form effort on substack where I explore the history behind some of the more interesting teams in women's football.
Who knows, it might give you some ideas for #FM27 saves!

This is exactly what I needed. Works perfectly, too.

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 GRASSNGEAR ARE BACK!
After writing blogs for The Gaffers Lounge and CoffeehouseFM, which are both closing down. GRASSNGEAR are relaunching the podcast and launching a new website grassngear.com/
It will be filled with #FM27 from us and guests!
#FM27 tip.
Everyone watches Condition and Sharpness. Not everyone watches Fatigue. Include the column on your Squad screen.
As fixtures pile up, especially with high-intensity pressing, Fatigue becomes one of the most important squad management metrics in the game.
A little rotation now beats losing a key player when the trophies are on the line.
Player Buy-In might be my favourite addition within Tactical Effectiveness in #FM27.
Managing performances, morale and minutes is nothing new. Managing players who aren't fully convinced by your vision is.
I really enjoy it as a new layer of squad building, and another factor to consider when deciding who to move on.

Like in that screenshot.
By attributes, Dasiuke Yokota is our "best" right winger. He should be a simple pick. But he's just not onboard with the strategy. Now last season I used him largely from the bench, and his personality is 'Fairly Sporting' which is one of the neutral personality types, not overly Professional, Ambitious or Determined. I wonder if simply fielding him more often will win him round.
The most interesting one is our captain and star midfielder, Nicolas Raskin. His 'Managerial Support' rating is just so low, despite us having great success together in my first season in charge. We had a bit of a contract dispute which eventually resolved and he renewed, but in my story-telling head, perhaps he's holding a grudge!
A fascinating new dynamic in the fictional environment in and around the club.
