Even though I retired, I follow it from time to time, unfortunately I see that the competition between the teams harms the league. Now most teams try to harm the other team for their own benefit. Even if he is not right, he makes absurd demands from the admins to make a decision in his favor.Unfortunately, the decision taken at the end of this season will make it difficult to apply the wildcard rule, which has been applied in a healthy and harsh way until now. Many teams will want to play another day from now on as they don't have only 1 man on the deadline day.
People who make up the community rather than admins need to change their mindset.The game is almost dead, but there is still a mentality that sees everything as permissible just for the sake of the "championship".If the players continue to make such nonsense, the mistakes made by the admins will increase and soon, like other leagues, FM will completely disappear.
1)Player behavior
First of all, the toxic community environment should be made more constructive and healthier.There are two reasons why many players quit the game: the toxic behavior of the players and the other one is the cancer tactics of the game in defense and attack.
2)Rule or map change to make the game enjoyable
The reason we played for years was that the game had an enjoyable structure. Teams cannot make 5 passes in a row at the moment.When this happens, it becomes impossible to enjoy the game. It's like there's no option right now except to put full pressure(with all player) to ball or score a counter goal.Years ago, the 3 def rule was introduced because it made the attack impossible. If possible, a new method should be determined with rule changes, if it is not enough, a new map should be designed.Before the game becomes more enjoyable, neither old players will return nor new ones will be added to this community.
3) Public Rooms and ELO System
FM has drawn an image closed to innovations for years. However, at the point we have reached, it will either disappear or have to innovate. First of all, ELO and public rooms have to be established. In this way, it can add new players in fm. In his time, Meyzi did this very well in his own league.I have no doubt that he will do this successfully here as well. Teamspeak should continue, but the Discord address should also be more active. Because now many new players spend all their time there.There is no one playing big in public anymore. It is impossible to restore this without opening public rooms and advertising FM. This is a very important innovation that should be made as soon as possible.
4)League system
So far, the league system has worked properly, but a new exception may be made for 2-3 seasons.I think that the number of teams that will come out of div2 should be certain, and when more than div1 teams are closed, the team that will rise to div1 should not be from div2.Because this negatively affects the league quality.For example, 3 teams will be rise from div2 and the remaining teams will be added directly to div1 from the application list.These teams, on the other hand, can be selected among the teams applying to the league, champion captains (Isco, ES Pierre, wroz) and stable and reliable captains (Meyzi,Enzo, Suarez N7, Progamer) will can have priority for div1.
Players like Flaviu, Punisher, and Smithyo apply every season but they are not joined. I am not sure whether the team they formed will be permanent.A side league can be opened for such captains who have previously closed their teams and whom you find unreliable.Captains who have previously closed teams and captains who have not gained your trust can compete in that league for 1 season and after be added to the FM league .At the very least, these people should be given this chance. If they gain your trust they should be added to the FM league. Otherwise, these people will not be admitted to this league no matter what they do, which is a bit of a heartbreak for them.
5)Head to head average
The average system should definitely be changed and it should be head to head average.Head to head average is both a fairer system and a closed system to speculation.
These are the ones that come to mind for now. If something new idea, I'll keep writing. I never think of going back to the game for now, but I also don't want the game we've been playing for years to die.good luck to you all.
