Happy Valentine's day, lads.
May all your regens always love you and also the trophies.

Just an Iberian one. In Madrid right now after 2 days in Lisbon and will be going to Barcelona tomorrow.
Here have some Santiago Barnebeu pic.
1/3
2/3
3/3
And just realised this but bloody hell, 3 pruned thread in a row?
This is as dead as we can be, lads.
I know, this is a tragedy
>tfw listening to some good ol AC/DC while tribbling
What music do you listen to while managing lads?
Wew, I dont think we have similar tastes in music but hey whatever floats your boat.
I always love a bit of Saxon too, top stuff.
youtu.be
Might get a title in two more games lads.
This is it. Score predictions?
I did it!
Time to sleep. Take care /trb/
How do I effectively park the bus?
You cant..control and standard are the only two that work.

>spanish HC
nice
and attacking.
Overload
Unironically this. In FM17 every fucking time I go overload the game runs to the final whistle with no highlights, even if I set instructions to the things that SI thinks go well with overload, like more direct passing and that kind of stuff.
I suppose /trb/ will be quiet again tonight as everybody spends the night with their gfs
I suck cock thanks
You guys know it's me the one that keeps the threads alive. The moment I stopped playing FM threads started to get pruned.
This is what happen when i played 5-3-2 on defensive.
The amount of shots conceded is always way too high.
Same
Defensive teams concede shots; usually a lot. Team's that don't are teams that hog the ball (Pep's City currently concedes the least in the League). The key is making them bad shots
What is the memeist lower-league team to manage and bring up to the top league?
yo what the fuck
Queen's Park FC (Scotland)
reviving
>PENALDO
Every time I start a new game and check on some of the stars during the campaign, I notice that Messi's stats are always terrible (relative to him in real life) Can the game just not comprehend someone putting up the numbers he does in real life?
>cronaldo
mixture of that and bad AI management
Messi would have a 23 in determination and 21 in dribbling if the engine supported it
>Messis stats
>terrible
mostly seeing him around getting a 7.7 - 8.2 average per season, especially at 32/33 years old most times, he retired in my save so I cant screenshot it, but can you post your experiences?
>dybala
pretty much the GOAT, i love it how SI did the aging right, where around 32/33 y/o the players start to get better actually for 1 year, playing on their experience
Im on a new computer so I don't have my saves; but off the top of my head in the last season I checked (he was 31) he had around 30 goals and 15 assists in all comps; which for him would be pretty bad
yeah you're right in that aspect, it doesn't produce the insane stats that Messi actually has, but it's probably as you said, but I think it's for the better, because you would have to update the engine and let players get 210 or 220 PA but only once every few years, but I think when you have already built a nice squad you get results from players who wouldn't get these numbers alone
I tried starting a new game, but I can't be arsed playing FM any more. Will just play League or sleep instead /blog
Fuck off tom
This . If a competent tribbler were to use Messi he'd score hat-tricks every game. Milos once said that him and >TSU were breaking the game. And then we had FM16 and that's why we cannot have nice things.
>he had around 30 goals and 15 assists in all comps
You clicked on his resume? Could be only league matches. Yes, it's fucking stupid that FM only displays league apps and goals by default unless you go dig the info.
Yes, I checked out everything. If I recall it was around 23 goals/9 assists in the league
Should check where he started and in which formation the manager prefers. The managers easily play Messi as a Wide Playmaker on Support for example. You could argue it's a waste and you should make your formation around such players but the AI doesn't care (and neither do I 2bf).
>change career stats screen with dig in info
show me the magic
Thanks, you too
You already did.If you look at the left column you'd think Dybala appeared once, but he appeared thrice in official matches instead. Why SI does that I have no idea, but by default it only shows league apps and goals.
Contain works well for me
yeah now I get it, i thought you meant there is some kind of mod or tweak in the UI that can change how it is displayed, also there are not even minutes displayed for Stats and when a player is more often switched in than starting, it'd be nice to see how many scorer/minute they made
>not even one(1) 8.00 or above rating while Mbappé has several

Gimme a team to play as on 15
You've got to be shitting me.
oh oh asensio
clearly a tactical mistake to bring in Meunier and getting less tension on the back of the right side, Madrid is only getting through on their left because emery pushed Alves forward to replace Mbappe on the Right who has been switched with Cavani in ST, changing Cavani for Meunier was the biggest mistake of the night, and I count the 2 dives
Tenerife
I think Real Madrid played better overall though.
I know that all too well. The midfield is also non-existent, Lo Celso had no business playing there and Emery made a mistake in enabling Rabiot... not that Rabiot is better under pressure as a 6 anyway.
>I think Real Madrid played better overall though
The flat 4-4-2 simply bypasses PSG's midfield and gives better freedom to the fullbacks.
yeah they did, but at least PSG did have some chances, albeit rare ones
>Lo Celso had no business
they need a strong BWM, getting the ball in the back third while the top three wait on the sideline to counter is not gonna cut it in this stage, of course you wouldn't play that offensive in the situation but with someone like Nacho in the back, you can march into the goal
>literally making nearly 300 apps in the league for real
all hope was lost in these dark times
>they need a strong BWM
Honestly Lasana Diarra couldn't have done worse. Hell, I'd play Verratti there instead: he actually has the aggressiveness to get the fucking ball back and try to channel his manlet rage.
Emery gets no respect from his players and just gives them what they want until his contract ends; else they go complain to Nasser because the coach is mean. He can't do shit and doesn't do shit tactically speaking. Pulling Cavani out, who always does his best and puts pressure on the defence was a disgrace indeed.
Honestly I was expecting for Meunier to take Lo Celso's place in front of the defence or something rather than weakening the wings when the midfield wasn't working.
yeah Verratti was only there to distribute the balls evenly between them, getting Neymar wasnot good for the relationship that could've been built between Cavani and Mbappe, I think Cavani teaching Mbappe would make him a little bit more complete, more determined, while Naymar thinks he's above-it-all. not good for chemistry, and I hope SI build more on that, because the Dynamics in Fm 18 are a real asset that can be built on when you have real life writing the scripts for you.
But if Nymar had'nt been bought, Mbappe could not have signed, because he doesn't see the asset, I hope Merman gets booted in this or next year at least. Just for the sake of the team.
just bought fm18, anyone been using 442 with defensive forwards? that shit was golden in fm17
Well Dynamics so far only has players being dicks for no reason. Instead of complying like Emery does, the FM manager, who has absurd amounts of power, can just tell them to fuck off and prevent squad revolt by telling them "my way or the highway"... just like he did in previous games.
It's pretty rare to have a top flight club that recruited two managers (Blanc and Emery) who had no way to impose themselves to the players. At least Blanc, despite the stupid mistakes he made still managed to get is gameplan going on... gameplan which still haunts Emery to this day. Part of it is also because Nasser is basically pals with the players, which bypasses all authority a manager could have.
That said, MBop' most likely would've signed for PSG anyway. Real was proposing 6M€ and sub, Qatar 18M€ and first team member. And he gets to stay close with his family that lives in Paris.
>Nasser is basically pals with the players
yeah it's his toy and he would love to probably just coach himself but can't get over it getting a license and with the hard work, so he just plays real life FM Touch.
Yeah the manager still has too much power in FM, that's true, I'd hope them to implement their nature and character more maybe, so you can't always scope out with the same answer 10 times in a row, maybe the media playing a more essential part in it, well, a man can dream
>18m/year for a 19 year old
>180m for a 18/19 year old
I hope the bubble bursts soon enough
not 4-4-2 but 2-3-2-3 here, play 3 strikers up front or 2 Wingers in IF with a CF as ST and you win instantly, like 5-3 or 4-3 or 5-4, make a lotsa goalsa, but not a lotsa good defensa
For that SI would've to give you more options for every interactions, and for these options to actually do something. There are multiple times where you have a perfectly reasonable explanation but tell the player to shoo off because the option is not available and/or the player is too fucking stupid to get it through; even if footballers are indeed quite stupid it's still pretty egregious. That's what Dynamics came down to: there's no reason to compromise for you because either the squad revolts or you get fucked over by the promise system that has no incentive for you besides slowing the problem... and on top of that is bugged. So just take the wrath of the player full on and when he's done pouting give him 5 more years of contract.
For example, I used to completely switch the whole team between league and European matches. Regardless of that, I always had, during the first three months of the season the exact same players who complain about playing time. The solution? 1) Downgrade everyone's status down a tier: no fucking Key Players, youngsters stay Hot Prospects regardless of their ability, the rest of the team is on Rotation and 2) Tell the players to fuck off.
You can get all that info though, just not on that page
OFC in 40 minutes lads

How many apps do you need for an EPL winners medal? John Terry just retired this season with 9 apps but for some reason the game didn't give him a medal? I thought you only needed 5
Medals attributions are fucked up. I've had players not receiving theirs despite playing most of the competition... bar the final due to injuries/suspensions/choices.
The rule used to be 10 until about 2012 then it became 5 and then they changed it again so that the club is given a set amount and can distribute them as it sees fit so I dunno what FM does about that. Either it'll still be stuck on 10 or they'll be distributed according to importance to the team and whilst irl a retiring player would clearly be given one FM probably takes the harsh view of a retiring player who probably has shit CA and a diminished reputation as being less important than most.
Get in here lads
Time for the second half comeback lads
ends 7-1 desu

So this is the power of a circlejerk
Does the quality of the opponent determine how fast your players learn your tactics?
no THIS is the power of a circlejerk
