"you forgot to untick the 'concede stupid goals' team instruction" sub-edition
Jacob Brooks
>Dwells on the ball >None of his teammates try to offer support It happens too fucking often.
Carter Mitchell
>Holiday from late march to mid-may Cool, my AssWoman only made one player unhappy through lack of matches and one who wants a new contract. And we're in the CL final yet again. Ah, there's one Slt idiot who wants to leave to Manure because reasons.
James Williams
I just put this kind of bullshit down to the 3D match engine not doing enough of a good job making the actually football match look realistic.
Brandon Ramirez
Swansea and a few other PL sides want him for just under 700k.
Can his potential grow? Or is he maxed out as a 4 star now? Feeling like I may as well cash in on him.
Nathaniel Kelly
Not to be a big SI apologist, but I watch a lot of lower league football, and off the ball movement and teamwork can really suck some days. I was quite the Pirlo myself, but most people just don't understand how to make themselves available or how to make well-timed runs.
Charles Johnson
A loss and a draw. Yikes. I hadn't lost in five and and half years, what the fuck. At least she mangled them in the second leg.
Ian Johnson
It can grow, but not unless he plays at a higher level, imo. You have great facilities, but you have to work hard to keep players in the lower divisions when bigger clubs get a whiff of a talent. If you are going to get promoted a few times, that needn't be a problem. But by then you will probably just have a mediocre 22-year old on your hands.
Luis King
I know just what you mean, I myself was quite the Messi but the groundsman never ever did a good job of maintaining the pitch so my world class dribbling skills came to naught as the quagmire glued the ball to the turf, of what little remained of it.
Jayden Richardson
Ok, so he'd grow more at a better club than my club, potentially increasing his potential?
Brody Thompson
I went undefeated for five seasons myself (in my league), and resigned after losing 3-1 on the first match of the season. During the off season, I had sold every player that wasn't a product of our youth academy, and it was all going to go downhill.
Carson Martinez
Potential can't increase. However, your coaches and scouts can be wrong about a player and will readjust their feelings on the matter depending of his progress, performances or lack thereof. Considering his age, he needs first team football and Heavy training to progress and preferably but not necessarily good coaches and good facilities; his personality is good already.
I'd be selling just one player then if your criteria is HG only.
Wyatt Edwards
You weren’t able to do it on a cold, wet night in Stoke, I gather?
Chase Nguyen
For real though one of the reasons why I couldn't cut it at u16s level (other than starting far too late) was that the pitches were in awful condition and I couldn't play like I had done for years as a kid.
Ryder Ross
Also, star rating is relative to you team. For example, someone like Bale would be 5 star at say, West Ham but is "only" 3 star at Halal Madrid. He would be the same player, but since Madrid has better players his squad status wouldn't be as high than it would be at West Ham where he'd easily be the best player in the team. That's why you carefully read scout reports and don't judge a player only through his star rating.
Tyler Gutierrez
>peterborough poach one of my youth intake kids, a fairly promising M(R) I was considering turning into a wingback, on a free >he doesn't join for another year or so >retrain him as a striker to sabotage his development >more than a year after he joined them and he's still playing as a striker in their u19s >his attributes haven't improved whatsoever call me petty if you want, but this is what success looks like
Jose Hill
That's what SAF did to Wayne Rooney in retaliation for Everton poaching him as a wee lad.
Jose Mitchell
What is the ideal workload? Is very heavy too much, and medium too little? Or does it depend on personality?
So for instance, if I have a player who isn't complaining about a very heavy workload, very heavy would be optimal?
Nicholas Brooks
lel
Caleb Smith
heavy for maximum gains before they bitch out all the time
Jace Anderson
>Or does it depend on personality? Any player with good enough Professionalism (check scout report or personality) can handle a Heavy workload. Almost every player, including Pro ones will complain about a Very Heavy workload. If they complain about a Heavy workload, while they can still make it I'd consider either tutoring them by a more Professional player or selling them. Those who complain about a Medium workload ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO be tutored or sold or let go. They won't make it.
Andrew Rogers
How significant is tutoring? If I have a player with good determination and a good personality who I'm looking to develop, is there any point in tutoring him?
Eli Peterson
I keep waiting for this guy to have a bad game so I can warn him and maybe increase his determination or workrate, but he just doesn't deliver on that front
Ayden Robinson
>How significant is tutoring? Can save a player from wasting his potential and becoming the next Balotelli. It also allows to pass some PPMs that can only be taught through tutoring. >guidetofootballmanager.com/players/player-preferred-moves
>If I have a player with good determination and a good personality who I'm looking to develop, is there any point in tutoring him? If you have no PPMs to pass to him, not really. However it can help reinforce team cohesion if the players get along. Perhaps it helps boosting his progress a bit but I'm not sure.
Jason Fisher
Purposefully play him at a shit role/position/duty perhaps.
Nolan Miller
>Wet Spam
Jaxon Morgan
His workrate is so awful he refuses to work badly.
I've only recently discovered the workrate/determination boosting wonders of handing out warnings/fines and have done it so much it now feels gamey. One of my strikers went from 10 to 13 workrate in just a few months.
John Nelson
Can someone explain the shadowstriker role a bit?
How does it work best, what formation, what partnerships etc.
What do they even fucking do? I feel like the FM description is really fucking vague, and every time I've played one they do fuck all.
Charles Gray
Pastebin, Pairs and Combinations.
Lucas Parker
Shadow Striker is basically an AF that plays in the AMC position.
Jonathan Gutierrez
>Nothing happens for 90 minutes >Dollaruma parries everything >Suddenly a highlight with 30 seconds remaining LONG THROWS FOR THE WIN!!!!
Liam Price
>rubbish form >change formation >dominate next game, strikers have found god
Thomas Brooks
Wow, thanks. I mean, who the fuck would want to watch the best team in the world™ and now five times winner?
Adrian Barnes
Wew.
Michael Collins
That wasn't too hard, was it.
Austin Hughes
WTF is this shit. Level on points identical head to head record better goal difference more goals scored. What am I missing here? Is it a bug? This has cost me 10+million quid
Jace Reyes
Cancerous defending but I'll take it. Also Valdez was a striker that I picked up for just 800k from Boca's transfer list and despite being able to play Complete Forward he required a lot of polishing, especially in composure and OTB (they were just 10 each) - he's now scored 10 in 15 and is picking up more and more goals. Can't wait to lose him in January.
Logan Reyes
I can't make sense of it either. looks like it's gone to sorting by coefficient, but like you say, it shouldn't have
Hunter Kelly
>Goals against
Defend better chap.
Jaxon Miller
>3 BWM tactic Well lets see how this works out.
Dominic Evans
>Goal Difference
look again mate
Isaac Robinson
>442 diamong
like tactics make a difference mate.
Parker Cooper
>Goals against
Look again, retard.
Jaxon Moore
if you look at the CL group stage rules, goals against is never directly taken into account
Aiden Hall
Why would goals against have any impact, retard?
>Americunts
Thomas Green
>Assman feels that player's progess has been limited due to his casual approach to training.
17 Det & Resolute personality on a heavy workload; how the fuck do I fix this?
Liam Collins
I've seen this recently too. I assume it means he has super low ambition, but I'm not sure. you could try tutoring him again I guess, if you can find someone with an even better personality
David Perez
reminder to terminate every injury prone player's contract
Evan Reyes
>Miles: female football in FM not commercially viable Does this mean a certain no, or could it mean that they would be willing to risk developing it for something like FM19 anyway? Were worse looking newgens, 160cm tall newgen CDs, overpowered crosses or moronic goalkeepers commercially viable?
Zachary Myers
>worse looking newgens Would actually be funny to see youth intakes turn into "yearly QT generator". This thread would be full of guys comparing their prettiest female newgen.
Liam Nguyen
uh this isn't great
Nathaniel Bell
>Linfield's riches
Grayson Stewart
Yeah I think the game must have erroneously sorted it by coefficient. Either that the game is more realistic that I thought and P$G paid off UEFA officials
Isaac Kelly
I have to completely agree. Since I was quite the Maldini myself, but my manager always told me to stay back so I couldn't really make use of my attacking capabilities.
Eli Stewart
Now I really want it
Benjamin Sullivan
>7-1 up >Assman still freaking out over our lack of possession
Matthew Wood
>60+% possession >"We're being overrun in midfield" because i'm playing a 4-3-1-2 every single time
Easton Ward
>allowing them to nervously string 4-5 passes together after each kick off PRESS HARDER, GET STUCK IN, HIGHER DEFENSIVE LINE, etc.
Brandon Cox
A 16 year old youth prospect scoring higher than a 6.5 in his debut is a victory for me. This guy just made a hat-trick.

I am not autistic enough to solve this when it'll be announced in a week anyways.

i just think he's a really bored old man, he's just trying to find a way to have some fun

Nice team you picked, Glebe Park is the best ground in Scotland

James Taylor
No doubt the great great great great great great grandson of Kyle Benedictus
Easton Myers
>I'm not autistic enough don't put yourself down
David Scott
he just got injured, probably running down the stairs or something
but just look at those attributes, his face, everything in him is magical, so magical that i'll keep him at the club
Thomas Sullivan
I think this is the first time I've seen "can't be offside in your own half" become relevant in FM no idea what the AI is playing at sending everyone forward for a set piece 67 minutes in with the scores level
Lincoln Diaz
Is Zeman their manager?
Adam Sanchez
It basically can't be solved, too many words and too many letters. You can pretty much make anything. Classic SI quality. If he even just said "This bunch of letters is for feature one, this bunch of letters is for feature 2" and so on then it'd be a huge help but as it is its a classic SI shambles.
Nathan Lewis
get on steam you fucker
Sebastian Sanders
is this the new "check skype?" meme
Carson Sanchez
no, Schafer got on steam fortunately
Logan Reyes
No, we actually know each other

I'd like to do an Asia save I think
Japan any fun? Mongolia?
I feel like I've done all I can with PFC. Only one more season until I've unseated Fergie in the HoF

unironically in north korea until you win the asian champion's league

I got one lads
new training system
Nolan Moore
didn't ask but thanks
before i swithc from this save, can someone tell me why Right is a world class player and Left isnt, despite left outperforming him yearly?
Isaac Morris
the mentals I guess. decisions, composure etc. slightly higher but I don't know, could it have to do with the reputation of the clubs they started at?
