the whole structure of FIFA needs to be scrapped and re-imagined, FIFA will always have corruption until there are massive changes.

>http://footballmanager.wikia.com/wiki/Potential_Ability
-9 is 150 to 180, which is the difference between a very good player (150-165) and a world-class player (175+). Given how PA scales, a -8 can be better than a -9 in a save, nevermind being played, receiving proper training, not having injuries... So it's not that it's good or bad, it just depends on your save. And of course, unless you just dig into the game with FMRTE you don't notice that kind of imperfection in the system, and it doesn't matter that much since it's rare for players to reach their PA anyway. I've only seen in my various saves Robben ONCE being 180CA/180PA in FM15. And he has a shit right foot while basically no world-class players besides him in advanced midfield positions or strikers have a second foot rating lower than roughly between 11 and 13/20.
If you want the best PAs in the game as of 16.3, go there.

>>66609742
Part of the fun for me is not knowing if the player's PA is really high or my scouts are shit and rated him high....
>>66609834
>player's PA is really high or my scouts are shit and rated him high
Except it can be both. The star rating, even with 20/20 JPA/P depends of your team. You can have a -9 player who won't be rated more than 2.5 stars even by Arsenal's GOAT scouting team.
>>66609885
I know, that's part of the fun.
I have a 4.5 star player who won't develop for shit, meanwhile his backup that has 3 stars is already more developed and is 1 year younger too
Scouting is something unpredictable in all sports, I like how the game makes it not that accurate.
Bringing an Australian player back to Australia just feels nice.
>stoke
>>66609983
B-but your flag is not australian.
I love seeing Colombian regens on big teams.
>>66609978
It is accurate for the most part, even with 20/20 scouts/AssMan. It's just that they also evaluate their chances to play, their overall ability to improve (prof/ambition), their age, so on so forth.
For example (in French below and the images are kill):
>http://www.footmanager.net/forum/ca-pa-l-exemple-d-un-jeune-joueur-t23913.html
It's FM12. To sum it up, he's 85CA but -9PA. Very good. Arse's scouts (20/20) say he's shit and he's 1 star in terms of potential (Arse's main squad is between 2.5 and 3.5CA besides one exception). Relative to Arse, it's 100% true: because of his very low CA (and/or that he's 18), he won't play, so he won't develop. You'd have to play him in the junior teams, loan him out and perhaps he'll fix a part of the gap. Considering he's 18, that's tough but fair.
Now if he's sent to a French D3 side, he'd be decent (the assman and scouts are doped to 20/20 jsut for the experiment). Not good enough to be more than a rotational player due to his CA but since it's D3 he's gonna play at some point. And yet, his star potential is no more than 3.5 stars from what I gather (since there are no pictures). So still far from being a very good player (160CA+).
In short, your AssMan if he's 20/20 is right. Even if the player has -9.5PA.

I'm hesitant regarding these. The issue is that the weather isn't quite uniform all over the country: in Triglav, it can be -10°C on home games in December-January, but I can then play an away game at 10°C. And for those who complain that weather don't affect injuries, my injuries skyrocket during winter at these kind of temperatures (like during the last games of the group phases of Europa League) so much it's not even funny.

Youve never called in sick before?
i-is the guy who plays sassuolo here
>The defender who scores the first goal also scores an OG
>We win with a penulty
Anti-climax right there, I'm not even happy. The whole team was nervous, glad the other side was made of D2 shitters.

No I must admit I never did.
>Calling sick before a cup final
>Win the title with 4 (four) draws when they just needed 1 (one) win to secure it
Yeah, so proud of you lads. They were fucking choking holy shit. Tho' I suppose with an average age of 22...

Meanwhile, in an alternate reality...
>Vizekusen
is he going to make it
>>66627565
maybe
>>66627565
>177cm
no. he'll be a fantastic player, though
And obviously, now that the title is won they pull an actual game winning performance against the 2nd in the league and one of the favourites for the title.
could i train this guy to be a decent right winger?
give me advice for my tactic please, my strikers are fucking useless

>Not using a Complete Wing Back
Kill yourself, they're so much better.

I thought brazil was communist?
>>66627632
Had him in FM 15 as a CWB, and he was amazing.
>>66627636
For starters pull your WBs back into the FB position and set them to CWB
>higher tempo control
>playing narrower with WBs
>float crosses
All of this is wrong and won't help you. Set Zaza to either poacher or AF, and Immobile (who is shit btw and you won't get any joy with him) to CF (S)
Also shadow striker is a meme role and AP (A) remains the most effective AM role in FM
does anyone want to see my squad?

>>66627677

>>66627745

>>66627767

>>66627745
Then just play Bellerin as a CWB because wingers in 15/16 are a waste and he's better than Mayke
