Football Manager 2017 - Ayr United...Season Two! - Part 1 

This video's intro going to be a wee bit awkward now because Nicky was literally just traded to Walsall F.C. IRL.

Hey Quill, I've been playing this game since around '99 when it was by a different name and in it's infancy. It's come a long way to where it is now and is massively entertaining/life sapping at times. Despite my long running tenure at the helm of many a team over the years, I have never really considered watching a let's play. It never really struck me as a game that would be entertaining to merely watch and not be a part of, but once again as ever you have proven me wrong because of your take on it and your style. I have watched many series of yours that were an absolute joy merely because of the way you went about them and the level of meticulous detail you went into. I often still browse through your back catalogue to have some background interesting ambience whilst I'm working or doing other things (Right now I'm on alpha 16 no turret RimWorld series, and recently loved your Sid Meiers Prates vod uploads). After catching this video I will be going back and watching your first season with interest. You have a good grasp of this game and I will be intermittently playing along whilst watching your videos in my own FM17 save. All the best as ever and keep up the good work.

Mixed feelings about only seeing home games. On the one had appreciate it speeds up the series and your time editing/playing. On the other, really enjoyed the breakdown and development game by game of in-game drama, player progress, tactical tweaks, etc. Anyways, good stuff, looking forward to it!

Finally FM17 is back! The first season was one of my favorite series ever on this channel since the AI can actually put up a challenge and doesn't go into brain dead mode.

Yessss! Finally! I have been waiting for this!

WOW! met the captain! So cool! So excited to see this back!

Sweeeeet! I wasnt keen on the first season until I came in later and I ended up falling in love with the series. Glad you brought this back Quill. Not my kind of game but you make it entertaining.

Nice. Very happy to see the continuation of this LP :)

Aw yeah! More Ayr United!

I'm so happy this series is back

I'm really excited for this season! I know Coach Quill and his Honest Men can win it all this year!

Quill you should tell your scouts to find players with contracts less than 1 year who are unhappy at their club. Very often you can convince amazing youngsters to come to yours at the end of their contract with the promise of 1st team football without paying any transfer fee.

"We have a lot of extra money to spend!" - is 158k in the red

Are you going to upload the livestream footage? also most of us won't mind another 50-episode season, btw.

Yes! Loved the first series of this. Hope you can get promoted this season.

Woo! My favorite Qull18 series is back! Boo on not running every game, though. I may have season tickets for the home games, but I'd still listen to the away games on the radio. Also, is a recording of the preseason livestream anywhere?

so pleased you are back in fm quill. keep fighting the good fight my man

Hey Quill, have quite a bit of experience with this game (literally thousands of hours, for shame) so hope you don't a bit of unsolicited advice. Looking at your 4-2-4 tactic, I'd be a bit concerned by the pairing you have in central midfield. I can understand the desire to play a box-to-box midfielder and then pair him with someone on a Defensive duty, with the premise that the latter would hold position in midfield and cover the gaps. However, you have selected a ball-winning midfielder on defend duty which I think is a risk. Ball-winning midfielders have a relatively high "closing down" instruction meaning that they will look to chase down opposition players who have the ball quite high up the park. At times this can be good but, when you're only playing with two in the middle, it means that when the opposition get past him they are clean through on your back four which can be very dangerous. Personally I'd recommend switching the ball-winning midfielder to a straight "CM(D)". This player will hold position more and provide a solid base for the more attacking players to push forward from whilst also providing an easy out ball to recycle possession.

Yes!!!! I've been waiting so long for this!

Dude, I've been addicted to FM17 for the past week, I fucking thank you!

Christmas in June!

Awesome, love the last series of this! Good luck

REALY SAD WE DONT GET THE FULL SEASON BUT STILL SUPER HYPED!

love this series

Ah brilliant I was dying for more of this!

Brilliant! And the intro.. haha, great stuff.

YEEESS MORE AYR AND MORE FOOTBALL MANAGER!!! But please do every match, it was very intresting to see them

I feel a bit bad for Sean McKirdy, you were soo entousiastic about him when you picked him up, but you completely forgot about him when you returned from travels and he stayed on your 'meh' list ever after.

glad to see it's return!!!

Time to win the league!!

You don't have to look at natural/favourite positions. When a player has the skills you want for a role, he should be fine. Playing a player out of position only causes the decision stat to drop a tiny bit. Glad you're back with FM again! :D

WOO! More Ayr United!

You are good with any management game. You got skills. I have played Football Manager series since Championship Manager 01/02 (it became Football Manager 2005) .Nowadays i usually play FM with a team that is in English lower leagues (tier 4-6) and is expected to finish 1st. Then i have sort of cheat (downloaded a working tactic and used FM Scout program). That's not the problem. I usually have used 1 tactic all the time and almost ragequit every time when i lost to a surprisingly poor team.

Yes quill! Thank you.

Let's Goooooooo!. Ive been waiting for the second season.

HA Ha the cover shot you have a black suit on.. Love it!

McGuffie is still there, so I am still here XD

Any ideas for a new intro yet? XD

Please Quill play all games

It's back!

Most excellent!!!

Yay been waiting for this!!

yay, season 2!

hope you can make it back to Scotland again!

I say record all home games and any televised away games.

GO ON AYR!
