How to go on vacation? | Questions and Answers Football Manager 2016 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Going on vacation is possible at any point into the game. To do this, go Home -> My profile and select Vacation. In the window that pops up, you need to specify the exact date of your return (or the amount of days that you go on vacation for), tactical settings that your assistant is supposed to follow (e.g. using the current line-up, without formation change), as well as transfer instructions (e.g. rejecting or accepting offers). During your vacation, you can apply for the post of the manager in another club. You can return from vacation at any moment, before it ends, or when your vacations were of indefinite duration.
Before you go on vacations, there are several important issues that you need to address- up until your return, you do not have any control of matches arranged by your assistant and results are simulated. What is even more, this happens in the case of both the team and the club - you cannot take vacation from only one of these. And finally: if you are on a straight road to being fired, do not hope that you avoid it this way. If you, e.g. declared that you obtain a specific number of points over 5 games, to retain your position, you still need to reach that number - if your team loses while you were on vacation, it may turn out that there is nothing for you to come back to. For this reason, it is better to put off taking vacation until the interval between individual rounds, when you do not risk missing an important match.
After you return from vacation, remember to check your mailboxes, players and transfers. Make sure that you o not miss anything important, before you resume the game.
