>>64564839
Hi newfriend
>>64564425
Yes and no. Its related to personality, hiddens and the squad status given in their contract so you can never be sure but to give yourself the best chance don't just make someone a key player because it allows you to give them the wages they want because if you do that they'll expect to be starting nearly every game.

How do you guys develop your young players? Do you focus on physical attributes that are lacking when they are young then work on individual attributes for player roles after? Any help much appreciated
>Norwich supposedly getting Ranocchia for 7mill
Not saying he is world class but 7 mill is a steal, would've expected more like 15
Why would FM get progressively more laggy when it deletes player data etc after a player has retired? I never got this desu. Surely it could be avoided withe better programming?
>>64571537
It could definitely be improved on by SI but you've gotta consider it does keep some player historys, the stats for each season played are far more in depth than those before the save starts so every team and player that does still exist is contributing to the lag the longer a save goes on.
>>64571591
But couldn't they make it an option to flush most of the data after x years?
>>64571537
even if the amount of regens generated is equal (I personally think it's higher, since some NTs seem to get populated to a point of becoming playable (although it might me due to getting regens only at the country top clubs, who are more likely to get called up than the crappy real players who got loaded in LLM teams) to the amount of players retiring that year, not all players get deleted (become staff, have history saved)

----------GK-------------
Play this with control, fluid, wide, shorter passing, higher tempo, slightly higher defensive line, and exploit middle, play out of defence, pass into space, look for overlap, and work ball into box. Trust me on this one lads, with my shitty Aston Villa team (no new signings) I picked up 40 points in the 2nd half of the season and only lost once (away at Chelsea).

>>64591656
Post your best young prospect
SI need to fix the fact that almost every time you go in for a player one of the big clubs suddenly jumps in and tries to steal him. I know this happens IRL but it happens way too often on this.
>>64592554
>I am the only person aware of this player and its outrageous that when I attempt to sign this talented player somebody else also attempts to do so even though transfers are almost never kept private these days as clubs and agents hope to spark a bidding war
>>64592567
Exactly. It's 2015+1, secrets are a concept of the past. Do you really think that deals concerning millions upon millions can be held under the covers?
>>64592567
It's more the fact that these clubs suddenly only become interested when you do.
>>64592587
>Decide to keep an eye on a players development before buying
>Another club comes in for him
>Well fuck it I'd rather buy him myself than see a potential GOAT go to another club so we better put a bid in too
Is that impossible to believe?
>>64592587
>what is chelsea football club
>>64592596
No, but it happens too often and more often than it used to happen on FM.
>>64592607
>it happens too often
Do you believe that any team in any of the top 5 leagues are ever the only ones to bid on a player?
>>64592623
>Implying you're even reading what I'm saying
>>64592587
>clubs aren't listed as interested so they don't know he exists
>>64592632
Yeah you said it happens more often than old FMs and that may be true but even if it is does that mean this FM is buggy or were all previous FMs too lax or has the footballing world changed and all the FMs were correct?
I'd say more likely the previous FMs were too lax on it and footballing world has changed a bit making transfers a more public thing ensuring it doesn't stay a secret and increasing interest and bids on a player.
You're as bad as those saying there are too many injuries in FM. There aren't. There are more than in previous FMs but the previous FMs had injuries way too low so it isn't a bug, its an intentional increase to simulate realism.

My top player wants to leave at the end of his contract which is at the end of the season, how can I get him to reconsider?
>>64594908
Sell him.
>>64594961
Is there really no way to get around it?
>>64595180
Not if he is an egotistical twat, no.
>>64595206
I've been trying to look around, is there a way to just chat with the player about it? I'm on FM16
>>64595365
I have tried. It doesn't work. That's why I put a two year extension into my best players contract and when he said no to a new contract, I extended it. Now he can't go anywhere for two years, but still plays well because he's my captain etc.
>>64595365
Why is he unhappy? Do the opposite of what made him a less than happy chap
>>64595412
Typical, I guess I'll just put him on the transfer list
>>64595433
Only negative he has is that he isn't getting enough coaching attention during tactics training, but he's still content with the training. The only explanation I get is that he wants to leave at the end of his contract
>>64595517
But what did he say before he made the decision to leave on a free transfer, you must have done something to upset him
>>64595652
He set his manager's nationality to Dutch and this upset the player greatly
