So this weekend I installed Football Manager 2018 on a 24 core Xeon server with 128GB RAM BECAUSE I CAN THAT’S WHY.įrom the beginning, I have always run Football Manager at maximum detail. And so it is with computers – I remember running CM97/98 on my Pentium II 266MHz with 64MB RAM and being entirely happy.īut then, dear reader, I became a professional proper data science football analytics thingy, and if there’s one thing we have, it’s CPU cycles to burn. Like, you get £10 pocket money a week to spend on Optimus Prime or Mask toys, but then suddenly you’re getting all these extra zeroes and fuck it, you can just buy a WHOLE SHELF in Toys R Us (but then you have kids and realise that all these toys have to be put away and every day you tread on lego and it’s a nightmare). One of the things that I realised upon becoming a proper grown up with a job and everything is that toys are actually really cheap.
So Football (née Championship) Manager was obviously a big part of my youth, like the rest of you. And this, despite being overlooked for inclusion in the database for another year despite all those SciSports guys getting in.
I don’t get to analytics in public much these days, so I’m bringing you analytics-adjacent content, because I broke down this weekend and bought Football Manager 2018 (twice, read on).
