The thing that bothers me is that I won't be able to discipline him like I usually do with my other players.
>>68608971
Discipline is love, discipline is life. +2 Det just by sending a warning for poor performance in a match we won anyway!
Which is the most fun national team to manage of these: Ghana, Burkina Faso, Senegal, South Korea, India, South Africa, or Peru? This list is completely arbitrary, the main idea behind it is that it'll be a country that isn't a shoo in every World Cup qualifying but is capable of competing in continental tournaments.
>>68609021
one of the great thing about managing a shitty team is watching their determination and work rate shoot up because of the constant discipline
actually it's the only great thing
>>68609064
Ghana does qualify consistently for WC though.
I think someone is in form.
who /a fucking leaf/ here?
>>68609101
True but CAF qualifying can be a crapshoot sometimes.

>>68609587
At least half your squad doesn't have a release clause because you're in Eastern Europe and they simply force it on you.
>>68609740
Winter transfers are fucking cancer, offers from everywhere and you have to overpay your players to keep them at least until the end of the season where no one will want to buy them. I'm inclined to let this one slip because it's over twice his value tho'.
>>68609992

Quality.
What do you do if you were winning the league then your team hit the worst form of all time and it's all your fault because you're a failure of a manager who nobody would take seriously in real life anyway?
Hypothetical of course.
Uh...
>>68611007
Change tactics.
>>68611007
Tell the players they're shitstains.
Squad > Team Meeting > Tell them to put their fingers out of their collective anus.
Also, warn them and fine them for poor performance, so on so forth. They gotta pull themselves together. If you have less than 20 Man Management/Discipline/Determination you failed.

Depressing really. Just hired a better fitness coach just in case, but until the end of the season and the new budget I won't be able to recruit any more decent staff.
>>68614219
The difference is that I'm also positive none of these players have more than 120PA, but because we're in a East Euro shithole they're 5 star potential. "Noice."

>>68614813
No idea about that. Got offered the River job after rage quitting the USA team so I took it.
>>68613849
what the fuck?
when should I sell a player who doesn't want to sign a new contract? he's the best player at the club and currently has a year and 10 months left, considering selling him when it gets to a year, but would that decrease the money I can potentially get for him?
>>68615345
Why do you feign ignorance?
>>68615453
The closer you get from the end of his contract, the lower his value. Don't wait until there's a year left, you won't have time to sell: if he isn't sold in the summer window he leavers for free in the winter window. Sell him 1 year and an half before, as early as you can.
>>68615345

Is it possible for players in this game to receive career ending injuries?
>>68615746
They are more /trb/ summerfags than oldfags
>>68615953
Only if they're in their 30s and considering retirement.
>>68615978
they used to be regulars
>>68615978
>the poster who had arguably the best striker in /trb/ history isn't an oldfag
KeeGOAT is legend, m8.

Nope, like there's no real bankruptcy either.
>>68612251
>tfw something like this will never happen again
>>68615999
Ah that sucks. To bad they can't put in really rare chances of players having heart attacks on the field and dying, or surviving and retiring instantly.
>>68616042
Dude is a worthy successor I suppose.
>>68616042
Jair?
>>68616013
I maintain they mostly only appear over summers for the most part and maybe during winter too for a little bit but the point is they are probably off doing normie things at uni with other normies while we stay here 12 months of the year and keep /trb/ safe from the normie invasions
>>68616042
Sure I guess making his international goal count go around was pretty cool.
>Best /trb/ striker

who's the best /trb/ striker from either FM15 or 16?

>>68616725
>>68616298
Probably Dude, struggling to think of any other great strikers from the last couple of years.
Lynk forced his meme so hard nobody cared whether he was actually good or not.
Grenny had that guy smash a ton of goals just recently but just because of the newness its hard to call him the best plus as far as I'm aware its just one really, really good season where someone like Dude was pretty great for like 15 years.
>tfw just back from watching The Conjuring 2 with my mates

I like that Kahn called him a manchild on the German broadcast, and that he shouldn't behave like a 17 year old as a 30 year old, it should be time for him to become a mature person.

Time for 100 points. Tho' with the injuries and the spankings I've had in CL, I'm glad this is over. There's still the Super Cup because for God knows what reason the db has it in May at the end of the season and not in summer at the start of the season.

Actually it's winning the league the first season that fucked me over. Nothing but another excuse to restart. I think I love setting up the save more than actually playing it. Guilty pleasure.
>tfw the amateur ISL NT beat us 3 times (!) out of 6 in the 90's

Hardest match of the EC for us. A zoo even made a parrot named Morgó predict the outcome. How come nobody's doing this any more (like with Paul the octopus back then)? PETA getting triggered by it or what?
>>68618528

Er this is an FM thread so I'm pretty sure you guys don't mean Oliver Kahn (TM) but Jens Mustermann.
Thanks.
>>68619204
But he won't listen. He really never learns.
>>68619287
He'll be good if you train him properly (QUICKNESS).
It would be an acceptable signing if you were one of the 10 richest clubs in the world.

>>68619450
no i just think that now we have PL money i can very easily mess up on a few transfers every season and still be fine in the grand scheme of things
>>68619468
will do butters thanks for the tip
should i play him in the first team as a kid or leave him in the u21s for a season or two?
>>68619583
That's his way of shitposting I suppose. If he had tits it would be easier to let it go.
>>68619596
Starting at 17 yo, if he's good enough he's old enough. Burnout is a M Y T H.
>>68619583
>I need a winger...
>Oh-- What's going on here?!
why am i not allowed to spend money :( do you guys want me to sit on my PL funds until i have 100m to splash on a top team or something?
i'm not deliberately trying to be retarded kek i do that naturally enough
>>68619596
>no i just think that now we have PL money i can very easily mess up on a few transfers every season and still be fine in the grand scheme of things
And yet
>muh facilities! why won't dey upgrade muh facilities?!
>>68619596
1) Do what butters said, train him on his quickness forever. He's already a good enough player, he just needs some accel.
2) keep him close to your first team, but don't foce him in if he isn't good enough yet. He's still you enough, play him in the u21s whenever he does not make it into the first 18 of your main team.
3) Burnout is a myth, so make him a permanent first team player the second he performs as good as your substitute right mid and make him your new backup right mid.
4) dont listen to the elitists in this thread and enjoy your save, I'd rather buy this future GOAT for 18m than spend it on some average shitter

Don't force him in if it will cost your team. He is so developed for his age that it barely matters when you bring him in, he will reach his peak anyway.
Once he is good enough for your team, play him as often as you like. Burnout does not exist so there are no downsides, but he will peak faster and be soon much better than the player you replaced him with.
better?
>>68620146

It's honestly ridiculous. More people care about Ireland's football team than the all ireland in GAA and hurling. They're obviously just afraid of their 'traditional' sports being wiped out. It just pains me to watch when Ireland has the potential to be so great but instead we're one of the worst leagues in Europe.
