>>63845591
There's not really a better candidate desu.
Unless we wait a few more years and see if Monk/Howe/etc develop or if someone else pops up.
I'd rather have an English candidate desu. Unless you're a shitty country, your manager should be of your nationality.
>>63845537
Mou will end up England's coach.
Mark it down
Welp.
>>63845537
>Not Monk
>>63845591
Why is Pardew such a bad candidate?
I mean he almost made it at Newcastle, and Newcastle is fucked from the inside out, not even Sir Alex could succeed there desu.
And he's done great at Palace so far.
Tbh I just want a new manager, can't stand the boring football England play under Woy. It's even more boring than usual. I can't even watch them anymore. Even when we smash teams by big goal margins it's still not particularly fun to watch.
>>63846125
Arsenal la
anyone found injuries to be even worse this year?
they were bad in the Beta but I let it slide but fuck it's almost unplayable when i'm struggling to fill the bench with a 25 man squad plus U21 players.
Not even short term, most of them are 6-7 weeks. I know injury crises happen but it's every save
>>63846203
>>/reddit/
>>63846133
Maybe he's better than Woy but who isn't.
There's a reason West Ham and Newcastle fans hate the guy.
>>63846269
Newcastle fans will hate all their managers for the next few years, the club is toxic and nobody will succeed there.
West Ham was in a similar position.
>>63846269
Newcastle fans are the worst in the league for delusion, bar none.
Is the offside rule in 2016?

Yeah, and I had all 3 of my RBs die for +3months just before CL Group Stages, adding to the 6 other injuries I had before that. 7 Injuries isn't that bad even
It happens, it's normal and after playing 10+ seasons you should expect this to happen some times
>>63846060
Hasn't fixed it.
>>63846517
>Didn't take me long after he left to realise the problem wasn't the manager though.
What is the problem then? Cashley spent a lot this summer and you lot are still a sack of shit.
>>63846577
Not a Newcastle fan but it appears to be Cashley and the rest of the board. The club is poisoned from the inside. They don't know what they're doing. No one's gonna succeed there until something changes.
Villa are the same.
I'm still playing 15 and suddenly it feels like my team is fucking glass too
>>63846533
>>63846570
7 when it's my 3 strikers and 3 first team midfielders (4-1-2-3) makes an impact when your only fit section is the defense, and Lloris has just come back from a dislocated shoulder or some shit.
I've been playing since '08 and I've never seen it as hard to play as this. I've lowered the training workload, hired physios and fitness coaches so I have the best in the league which I do every fucking save now and it still doesn't do anything, may as well save the wages
>>63846688
The point is 7 injuries at once isn't even remotely unrealistic you pleb.
Get a fucking clue.

The date depends on what country you're managing in. You get better youth intakes by hiring the best HoYD possible and badgering the board to expand your youth recruitment network.
>>63850795
What about Junior coaching level, how does that work or connect to youth playes coming in?

>>63851036
eh
>>63854339
a 190 pa player will never make it if he starts at 30 ca.
Granted, even good players like 140-145 pa can still make it on good training facilities and excellent senior coaching.
But you won't make a world beater, only a bunch of solid 1st league players.
>>63854339
he was my best player and he refused to stay ;_;
How much time do you guys spend on match instruction and how do you approach it? How fast are you simming each game?
>>63854426
>literally no technicals
Classic England.
>>63854426
>dat octagon
Seconded.
Still a nice lad, shame he forced his way out, was he a yoof intake or somewhere else
>>63854413
Not saying it's not important, but facilities and coaching is more important IMO
>>63854413
I think they might still make it if they start at 30
No proof of this but seeing as a player is likely to hit full PA at around 22-23 i don't see why someone starting at 30 won't make it at let's say 28
Injuries permitting
>>63855000
because development takes a steep decline post 24, and to keep developing at all you basically need top facilities and constant first team games against world beaters.
which, if you're shite, you won't get.

What's your routine going into the next match? What do you check, what do you adjust, anything misc?
During the match how much tactical changes do you do? Pep talks?
I feel like I'm simming maybe too fast, but doing well so far.
the sunday sport is the best british paper imho
I fear that my game may have bugged a bit. The board offered me a contract twice, I managed to negotiate these demands but because of the second one which I just clicked on and then clicked away from since I had to respond to it I worry that they'll just ignore the proposals I wanted. Or will those only happen when the new season begins? I haven't seen any change to my wage budget and I thought it happened automatically once you've signed the deal.

>>63858536
Just play Uncharted 1 and 2 on PS3
>>63844974
they didn't fix it in the 16, then?
the algorithm should be able to know if the roles players are assigned are similar and stuff so that the progress in chemistry is not entirely fucked up just because you wanted to place your players a little differently.
that happens irl and most often no tragedy occur.
and to the overall chemistry I think the instructions are even more important than the roles.
too often I'll assign the wrong players to the wrong positions before entering the match so I can change the tactics in the match environment so it doesn't affect that stupid meter that is the only feedback I have.
>>63858631
i actually played those games already, just the deal i want offers only the uncharted collection
>>63858537
thats true
but the console has a couple fresh nice games not too much
i dont want to upgrade my laptop, so i can play games like diablo 3 on ps4
im 100 percent going to get it when dark souls 3 is coming out, just figured ill get it now since fm is too stale anyway
>>63858783
But if you already played them
Why buy again
>>63858851
the deal (ps4+2 controllers) only offers the uncharted collection
ill probably just sell the game seperate
>>63858911
Oh like so, apologies
tfw can't play bloodborne
>>63858949
besides like years ago i heavily enjoyed playing uncharted 1 on its highest diffuculty, it was hell, going to do it again prolly
yeah bloodborne looks sick
Well lads, first try at this game didn't go too bad I guess. Was predicted to finish at 19th or something like that. Ran a 4-1-5 wide, and once match tacticts got comfy they started raining in goals.Got KO'd in extra time of the second leg in playoffs T_T
Is this guy worth the largest contract I can offer (£925/week)? About to start my first season in League 2 and I'm looking for a starting CAM//back-up ST or potential starter if I change my tactic.
Just looking for definite quality really, my squad is sort of alright as it is.

>Opposing teams gaining momentum especially if teams have good important matches rating and are in title fight/relegation fight/playoffs fight/qualification fight
I'm not saying FM is the greatest simulation in the world but where most other simulators wouldn't factor in these things these are definitely factored into FM and towards the end of the season its so likely that some or all could affect the team. Especially if like most of /trb/ you like to build a young squad then they'll be far more susceptible to the hidden mentals/personality side of the game than a team of grizzled veterans so tough/important games coming thick and fast in cup games and the league will definitely grind them down.

If you could ignore the bad looking regens, 16 is great from what I hear.

I've heard stuff about the game being too random, and that you will constantly lose games in the dying minutes or concede in the first minute, only for nothing to happen the rest of the game
>>63876484
That's basically every FM ever. And according to rumors it happened a lot more in the cracked version of 14 and 15.
