hello friends
I haven't played FM since 13, I just bought it before I came to work and it's downloading at home.
What am I in for?

Promotion play-offs time.
Luckily the promotion rules aren't as crazy in this division as they were in the sixth tier.
New to the game, what are some tips for starting at a new club?
What tactic/player roles for 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-1-2 work best
>>66441658
is crossing the ball good? I'm gonna start a game with Flamengo and they have Guerrero as a ST he's a pretty good header, looking to do some hoofing into the box early on until I get the hang of the game
>>66441780
Crosses are crazy good in FM16.
>>66441780
Crossing is very overpowered in 16, I'd even say broken.
>>66441780
yeah theyre OP. some guy even made a team with 4 wingers and won the league
Also, how do I know if a young lad is going to be any good if I don't trust my assistant manager
>>66441808
get a new assman.
but if you wont then just look at his determination. if its over 15 hes gonna be good
>>66441802
>>66441794
>>66441788
LEL
I will win everything.
>>66441808
look at other coaches' opinions of him, particularly coaches who have high "judging player potential"
bear in mind that coaches tend to overhype players with a lot of speed or good physicals in general
and some of it is just common sense. if the guy is 23 and has 200 career league games to his name, he's probably not going to go from being a championship quality player to a champions league quality player all of a sudden
>>66441820
What age would you recommend cutting a hot prospect loose if he doesn't seem to be coming good
>>66441849
Around 20 or so if they aren't decent they probably never will come good.
>>66441833
just do a bit of investigation myself so? Should i give every player instructions? Sorry for all the questions, I just can't seem to get going
>>66441849
15-17: have him in your youth team, try to give him occasional sub appearances in you first team if you can afford it
18-21: have him in your first team, give him as many starts as you can. if that isn't at least 10 per season in all competitions, loan them out to someone who can
at about 22 it's time to think about cutting them loose. you'll probably lower those numbers as you get more accustomed to how players develop, but if a guy is stagnating at that point you can pretty safely assume he's not going anywhere
>>66441887
>just do a bit of investigation myself so?
ultimately that's what it comes down to, staff are predictable but not fully trustworthy. take a look at each of them, look at their abilities, and then decide who it's worth taking advice from.
again, as you get more accustomed to FM, you'll see patters and not really need their advice anymore, so experiment with players as much as you can.
>Should i give every player instructions?
there's no one answer to that, it's all about making your overall tactic work with the players you have. usually I have individual instructions for at least half my players - if I'm playing a defensive formation with a DM on the field, I'll usually tell my centre backs to close down less and pass shorter, for example, and I like to tell my fullbacks and any technically-limited midfielders to shoot less.
the main thing to worry about with instructions is when you're dealing with low-quality players. if you give them (or the team) instructions that are too ambitious relative to their abilities, like asking semi-pro defenders to make short quick passes and try to play the ball out of the back instead of hoofing it downfield, you can mess yourself up
>>66441366
In this save I don't know so far, but in my "Slovenian" save he didn't develop much. You made me reload that save, be glad I didn't delete it.
>>66441285
DM push too high and they crowd the goal. I like them but not in this setup.
>>66441454
O-oh.
>>66441969
>>66441344
>Bayern as fuck
>Poacher
C'mon. You should know that Poop doesn't like strikers. I needed a player to make runs behind the defence before the team dies out of Tiki-Taka. AF doesn't work, DLF(A) kinda does but is pretty meh, no one has the stats for CF and the other roles don't work out to well.
>>66441969
>1 bravery
>otherwise passable
just like a regen
>>66441993
it seems like you dont watch bayern that much.
poop's buyern this year play some archaic football in attack - his offense relies 100% on fast as fuck wingers who dribble and cross it in, and two strikers that dont do anything else other than stay in the box and poach.
what he does in defense is still very progressive but his offense is EPL tier
This guy has the weirdest skillset I've ever seen on a regen
>>66442027
>Gets rid of any true 9 he has
>Plays hoofball regardless
Forever Poop Guardiolel
>>66442041
he's almost amazing at several different roles. if you sign him I guess you could make him an AP-s or something, although that doesn't really make use of his speed.
with that balance and long shots he's going to be an absolute blooter MACHINE, at least if his technique improves a bit
>tfw qualified for Europa with a Championship team and won promotion in the same season
Never had that type of quality success before.
>>66442061
Actually this tictac would work better if Inverted Wingbacks actually worked, or if there was a wide and aggressive CB role. Making players run back and forth isn't too hard; making them play wider individually is a fucking nightmare. BPD and SK(A) just hoof the ball forward most of the time instead of actually holding it while advancing. FFS Miles fix that shit already.
why won't you guys ever use my OC, don't you think it's entertaining?
the joke is that a davice like the oculus rift is exciting videogame technology but completely pointless for games like FM
Someone give me some /trb/ related gimmicks I can use to make OC

>+34
on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is spain c.2012 and 10 is a keeper leading the league in assists, how hoofy was your ball?
>>66442459
not as hoofy as I had hoped initially.
Most of my goals came from the flanks.
id say 7 during first half and 4 during 2nd half of season, we quite dominated possession in the 2nd half
>have 5 different centre backs to rotate
>3 of them complaining about not enough first team action
ffs there aren't enough games to play you all
>>66442484
>not having 3 great centre halves and 2 youngsters
>>66442445
I hope you can get along better than I have. I've been hovering at around 15th for a couple of months. Got fucked with contracts so I basically had to rebuild a new side out of free transfers
It's better than being relegation fodder but it's a bit boring 2bh, none of the thrill of fighting for a playoff spot nor the wounded animal feeling of battling the drop
>>66442518
that's actually what i've got funnily enough
guess i didn't play the first choice centre back enough
>>66442540
It's a good thing in a way though, you have avoided injuries by the sounds of things if you barely rotate your defence.
>>66442527
eh I plan on building whole new squad. have 1 contract that ends in 2018 the rest ends in coming months lel.
how much do you pay in wages annually?
>>66442571
$9.35k per week/$486k per year
>>66442553
yeah no injuries to them so far but normally they don't seem like very injury prone players anyhow
seems like no matter what combo i use they're both shit anyway so i'm not sure what to do to improve my defence
>>66442607
lel thats about what I pay in div north atm.
My board has set the budget for next season already will be able to pay 1million eu per year which if I can find the players should push me into the playoffs hopefully
>>66442642
Nice. Glad you don't manage for a bunch of fucking stiffs like I do.
If they don't up the budget for next year should I just tough it out or should I leave for another club?
>>66442684
Who are you managing mate?
>>66442690
Oxford City. Got them promoted to the Conference Premier
>>66442708
Sweet, I'm at the same stage with Havant and Waterlooville. Second conference year and my wage budget is £10.5k/week
>>66442684
depends what kind of game you are playing.
If you want to take bottom feeder to EPL and win it id say tough it out.
Otherwise if a bigger club comes calling try to jump ship or maybe ask your board for more monies otherwise you will leave
>down to 10 men in 5 minutes
Also got promoted.

Going to be competing with a solid Crystal Palace squad in the PL and Europa (doing either for first time).
Any advice on how to plan for this season? I want to do well in Europa and would be satisfied with mid-level season finish, but fear my board will put more importance on the season than Europa.
>>66443727
maybe something is wrong with his Brain
>>66443795
If you have money to spend, make your first priority a really great CB who's amazing in the air. ideally someone with high stamina and no injury proneness so that he can play in pretty much every game
other than that use defensive/counterattacking tactics as much as you can, use the "no pressure" or "get revenge" teamtalks against stronger opponents, and see if you can find some cheap, speedy kids to stick in your youth team and use as rotation players when you have league and continental games in close succession
>>66443741
He is, im hoping to keep him for a long time. Allthough im having to fight off PSG and juventus in order to do so.
>>66443657

We missed a penalty in the 66th minute when our mastermind coach decided to continue with his "youthening" by subbing in a 36 year old striker that for some odd bizzare reason also took the penalty despite not being our penalty taker.
He also put in, again, our star man 32yo Kirm, from Cyprus, to replace the one odd player that was actually trying-Verbic.
I won't even complain about how he keeps playing fucking Kuritc and Kirm. It's like they're competing which one of them can fuck up more.
Oh, and yeah, let's not call up Maroh. first choice CB from Koln, nah, let's call up Samardzic from Rijeka and Struna, a right back, to play as a CB.
"Great little side" my ass, they're shit lad, let's be honest. We were fucking horrendous and they barely scraped by 1-0. They're slightly less shit than us.
>>66443849
Okay I've made it a priority before the season to sign top CBs but find it hard to find anything above what I had last season, though I did get some young players who will be quality down the road, just backup level right now.
Already grabbed some quality rotation players for depth.
Will look into those tactics.

>Don't you have a better forward than Bezjak?
Injuries. Beric and Sporar both got injured. Fuck Katanec anyway. He'd still force Novakovic at the 60th minute in to "take responsability and lead the lads". By that he meant take over penalty duties and miss.
And Bezjak isn't bad, he tries and fights. I have no complaints regarding him. Kurtic on the other hand, he doesn't even deserve a call up. Okay, Krhin is bad and out of form, but kurtic is just fucking shite.

FM isn't about creating a great dynamic original tactic. It's about making the best of something sensible that fits your squad.
Signed Marcelinho (Bulgarian) so I'll just take a break till tomorrow. I've got the entire August to figure out what I want from the upcoming season. Would a title be too much to expect with a bunch of loans? Who knows
What are you listening to, /trb/? http://www.last.fm/user/dechakinho
>>66445525
should work well. if you find the AP isn't getting forward enough, you might switch him to SS. he'll still do some playmaking if he's creative enough, since he'll be a target for forward passes and he'll have the f9 near him when he receives it

>>66446193
I was making a point of signing no non-slovenians in my dob save, not even anybody with 2nd nationalities, but then I got a really good albanian kid in a youth intake and had to relent

>>66446201
Sounds fun. Pick a team for him and we'll switch and see how his Conference North counterpart gets on at Bayern. Not sure how best to trap Pep but I'll find a way.
>>66446213
ehhh, I might, feels a bit boring.
>>66446232
Ancelotti nearly got West Ham relegated whilst Big Sam managed to win the league, the Spanish Cup, the Europa League and a couple of smaller cups, probably super cups if memory serves. And that was just his first season.

I have a question for you guys. Are regens regenerated version of players who retire with new names, skins, nationalities etc, but have the same skill attributes (or will have the same at the peak of their career)?
OR
Are they completely randomly generated from the ground up?
A good start for Dennis Greene who as a player never made it above the Conference National
>>66446577
Meanwhile Pep has made his first approach for a new player but this lad has interest from huge teams such as Lewes, be interesting to see if Pep can tempt him.
>>66446535

>Are they completely randomly generated from the ground up?
This. They are newgens
>>66446600
Great post
>>66446567
Used to work the first way but nationality stayed the same so it was easy to spot an upcoming GOAT as soon as a GOAT retired from that nation. They did away with that method a few years ago and officially are called "newgens" now as it is completely randomised but that sounds gay as fuck so we prefer to stick with the term regens.
>>66442956

>>66446614
>expecting anything more than gimmicks
Not a great start for Pep but it could be worse.
Meanwhile Dennis Greene remains undefeated at Bayern with a draw against Luzern one day into his new job and a 0-0 draw against Barca in another friendly being the only times he has failed to win.
>Bayern job confirmed for being able to be done by a monkey

>>66449039
Wait can tutoring be bad?
Tbh I'm not even sure what tutoring does in FM
>>66448999
needs lot more off the ball, he won't ever be more than a finisher and that is holding him back
>>66449064
>Wait can tutoring be bad?
yes
if the tutorer has lower determination, the tutoree's determination will drop also
I'm not exactly sure what hiddens are affected but I've seen AI controlled teams tutoring turn regens with really rare personalities like "iron willed" into "fairly professional" and other mediocrities
if a regen has a great personality right out the box you want to think twice before tutoring him unless the tutorer has absolutely godly personality(think someone like gigi buffon), some players should never ever tutor anyone
also PPMs transfer and sometimes you might get shit like this
One day I'd like to manage a 4cc or /sp/ league team. Will this game help me learn how to do this?
>>66449328
>game
>>66449328
no, probably not, I think that stuff is all about exploiting the PES game mechanics
posting here will just be an opportunity for certain former manager to laugh at you
>>66449328
Yes and no. Understanding football tactics is a huge, huge plus going in to 4cc management because you will automatically avoid being completely ass by virtue of not playing a retarded tactic. FM can help with that. On the other hand, you will still need to download and play PES and learn how to apply your knowledge of football to the game and make a good team.
So really, it can help, but you can help yourself in the exact same way by not playing FM and reading football literature or watching games with educated pundits, but it's not the total package you need to be a top tier guy. Common sense should still take you decently far.
>>66449328
/sp/ used to have german /trb/ autists as managers and they failed horribly. you're better off just jumping into the cup.
>>66449328
it could help you in general knowledge but 4CC is more about finding new bullshit to exploit in the current version of PES. I'd just start off with PES, download some 4CC sides, and test tactics

is my game bugged?
Is there a good download/torrent for an entire logopack?
So, I'm trying out this tactic with mixed results. I'm winning games but struggle to score.
The Rudar Velenje games was a fluke. penalty and two set pieces goals. The last game against Krsko was good though but I remain unconvinced. The game against Dinamo was shit, from both ends, they won after a penalty. Every team is way weaker then me in the league so its sometimes hard to tell what works and what doesn't. We do appear to be tight at the back playing like this, if nothing else.
Any suggestions? Also, I want my fucking TM to stay in the god damn box not drop deep, he's got high jumping and heading. I want F9 to drop deep, he's shit at heading and jumping but good at dribbling and finishing, yet its the opposite happening. Should I just play the TM as an AF/Poacher? Alternatively should I just try Poacher-TM partnership?
Either way, suggestions would be appreciated.
>Uni blocked today again
I set up the save before going to sleep (again, fucking Serbs do your job properly holy shit) and let my ass man play for me until the winter break (I had to configure you fucking Serbs). Didn't turn out too poorly for once.
>>66450751
The TM will generally drop because he's a TM: his role is to receive the ball for other players. I've noticed that picking a role over another changes significantly how your team plays. The second you put a TM, your team will hoof the ball to him regardless of your tactics. Another thing SI doesn't mention.
As a result, I believe your TM drops deep to get the ball and the F9, expecting to receive it from the TM, makes the run. Which is expected IMO of a TM: use their strength to get the ball and pass it to more technically good players who will score/create. If you want him to stay in the box, using an AF would work better. Like I said earlier about the TM, when you put a Poacher on the field, no one cares about him: they'd rather shoot unless he dropped deep to get the ball (very rare cuz >poacher). They expect the Poacher to play like Super Pipo: they shoot, the keeper fumbles the ball and the Poacher scores.
You could always tell your F9 to roam from position and shoot less.
>>66450800
>The TM will generally drop because he's a TM: his role is to receive the ball for other players.
Yeah, but I'd assume the "leads the line" when on attack would mean something especially because I've got Artur there feeding him crosses to the far post.
The way I was imagining it to work is that the F9 drops deeps, pulls out a defender hopefully, while the TM goes in the box and gets the cross increasing his chances of defeating his marker since he's 2m tall and has both heading and jumping at ~15
>The second you put a TM, your team will hoof the ball to him regardless of your tactics. Another thing SI doesn't mention.
I fucking knew it, it always appeared that way to me, and watching the past 6 games in full using the prozone camera only confirmed it but I was thinking I was imagining things.
I'll try an AF then.
autism
>vision
>1
Why doesn't he play with a white stick?
>>66450833
Nope, we're back to the same old same old. Getting 3+ clear cut chances, 15+ shots per game, at leas, and not scoring while the opposition is time wasting from the 55th minute onwards for a 0-0. I mean, I watched the match in full, we're doing great, except at scoring goals.
>4, FOUR, shots on target
Our shots/shot on target ratio is probably around 25% at this point. Dude has 15 finishing and 14 composure but misses 2 CC's and gets a 6.3. He scored 2 goals in 15 matches.
Why am I even getting millions of € worth offers for him?
>>66451049
Look, look at this bullshit. 7(7)apps, 2 goals. 2 fucking goals. He's big, he's strong, he's got high finishing, high composure, high as fuck anticipation, decent off the ball, he can even dribble decently. Yeah, he's not fast, but holy fuck 2 goals in 14 apps. Fucking kill me.
And it's not like I sub him in at the fucking 88th minute, he gets on at 60-70 when subbed in.
>>66451072
play him as a target man m8, get wingers and wingbacks, all of them should cross often and aim crosses at target man
float the crosses, pump ball into box, hit early crosses
maximum hoofball
>>66451087
I tried playing him as a target man, with hit early crosses and pump ball into box, all he does is drop deep and is nowhere near the box to get in crosses. In fact, even with this tactic, I'm hitting a lot of crosses into the box but he's just not hitting the fucking target, ever. Look at this shit, this is a fucking awesome cross completion ratio.
It's fucking sad when pic related heads in more goals than him playing as an F9.
>>66451087
>>66451124
>this is a fucking awesome cross completion ratio.
>>66451072
these kind of strikers never seem to work out for me, I think they need a bit of accel to get into position or whatever. Also bad passing is really shit for a target man.
>>66451124
Dunno man, maybe something hidden attribute is fucking with him. Maybe teach him the preferred move stay inside the penalty area whenever possible
>>66451157
>>66451161
This guy has the same problem, but at least he was "decent" enough to contribute a few assists as well. He broke his leg though, so fuck me I guess.
I'm taking your suggestion and teaching him the move, if he doesn't learn in 6 months he getting sold.

I've fallen asleep yesterday but I did see your post about the admin fuckup at the U-21 match and remembered that the same happened to Dinamo U19 like a month or two ago in the junior CL against Anderlecht and got them disqualified despite winning the match and qualifying for the quarter finals.
>>66451593
Solid keeper, cheap af at that age. I'd still go for a regen, though. Keepers are the easiest to keep in lower rep leagues (like irl)
>I've fallen asleep yesterday but I did see your post about the admin fuckup at the U-21 match and remembered that the same happened to Dinamo U19 like a month or two ago in the junior CL against Anderlecht and got them disqualified despite winning the match and qualifying for the quarter finals.

>>66451985

It's all just numbers either way
>>66451480
is this formation based on which players can do what or do you generally recommend IWBs in that formation
>>66452090
M8, I don't fucking know, I'm experimenting myself.
That being said IWB's seem to work decently, they often work like normal WB's and just go wide though. I do know for a fact that 4-2-4 is workable as I've seen it work in the EPL.
>>66452136
i haven't used IWB but surely FB (A) or WB (A) would work better, especially in conjuction with IFs? giving them freedom to go forward and put in loads of crosses is practically cheating if you have a tall lad up front
>>66452052
>It's all just numbers either way
the number 2 in this case
w-will anyone teach me to set up a 4-4-2 for LLM
fancy managing my local team (bromley) and my best player is supposedly a winger with absolutely shite crossing and i have no idea how to use him properly - feel like i want him up front but idk
here he is
>>66452162
But those are wingers up front. I switched Oblak to AMR as well, and like I said IWB's will go wide, they don't cut inside all the time.
Still when they cut inside they can draw defenders on them opening space out wide for your winger to run into, get the ball, and cross. But as I said I was just experimenting and reverted from it, so I'm not even using it any more.
Had an even crazier assymetric bullshit going on before. I'm back to 4-2-3-1 with some changes. It's hard to judge what works and what doesn't playing in this league. Everyone is playing defensive for a draw against me and I'll dominate every game, however I struggle with scoring. So that's what I'm trying to fix. I think I'm averaging with like 1.5 goal per game although I'm doing better lately.
I'm a shitter with tactics.
Can i play a Deep lying playmaker with an advanced playmaker in a 442?

>pair a BWM with an AP
In a 4-4-2 that's just suicide
>>66452239
decent finisher and long shots. you might want to consider using him at AML as an inside forward. he's going to do just about zero defensive work, so plan for that and make sure you've got cover behind him
no, I'm not sure how I'd fit him into a 4-4-2 either. if you're insisting on that setup he might be better off as a striker. even though he's going to miss a lot of chances, he'll create a lot with his speed and dribbling

you probably don't want to try enganches, registas, treqs or other 'luxury' roles/instructions that rely on a player being highly skilled and intelligent, but I regularly use wingbacks and inside forwards and attacking midfielders with semi-pro teams

You're playing a pirated copy right?
Guys, I dreamed that I beat Juventus 2-1 in the dying minutes of the game (either in ET or in stoppage time) - and I remember having a big black RPM on the half left and a rapid striker with long hair up top.
Their football was magical and I cried in my dream because I thought that I finally found "it" - the perfect players, the GOAT in midfield, the best striker up top and an unbeatable tactic. I don't know if it was a final but it was a very important game, and I was so happy in that moment.
I was woken up by my alarm clock right after the goal that made it 2-1. Didn't even see/take part in the celebrations. feels bad man

No, I was managing Soproni VSE.
I immediately thought of Seedorf and Cavani when I woke up, based on what their faces looked like.
>>66452728
>seeing features on FM players' faces
>>66452737
I was the actual manager of the pitch mate, I saw everything in real life quality - even though football and tactics were based on FM.
>>66452744
>football and tactics were based on FM
well even if you can't find those particular players, can you at least recall the amazing tactic you were using with them?
>tfw winning a cup loses you money
>>66452753
Yes, its the 4-1-4-1 I am currently using with one tweak - I told my layers to play it a bit slower.
It works in FM and improved my performances and made me much more consistent in attack
>>66452678
yes but no other player has retired too soon, or at least haven't noticed

That's what's most likely. FM16's cracked copy is notorious for having a retirement bug that sends players over 32 to retirement as well as staff over 55 or 60. SI had fun putting worms into the picture files too, as well as making the grey (fake) players broken. If you were wondering how they spend their development time, you've got your answer.
>>66452811
lel, is there a list somewhere about what they did exactly?
>>66452754
iktf. I think the pokal slovenije is worth a little more than that, but regardless I shell out double or triple the amount in player bonuses
>>66452809
fall was my first though too, although I couldn't remember if he was big or not
I guess with that strength he's beefy, anyway
>>66452830
I don't think so (maybe on forums held by cracking teams), but the lone noticeable bug there is on 16.2 cracked is the retirement bug that triggers very often but not always.
You could always play the previous versions if you're so cheap.

Retard monkey strength at work.
>>66452859
>You could always play the previous versions if you're so cheap.
I would because IMO the match engine has taken a step backwards in 16 but I'm already invested in my save and sunk cost fallacy
tfw went to school with a bunch of players and one of them is absolute shite apparently
nice memes
>3(THREE) shots on target
Lmao, I have no idea what's up with my strikers. Still, better than 20/10 with 5ccs and a 0:0
Trough all the tic-tacs tinkering and shit I just wound up back at a 4-4-2, kill me.
>>66452926
Just to put things into perspective. My 2nd best goal scorer is a backup ML/AML. He scored 10 goals, as much as the two other strikers.
>>66452926
Take your previous games, look at where they're shooting from, why they're shooting from that position (lack of support, being pressurized, being retarded) and see if there's a trend. Probably should switch to 3D (or 2D if it's still in there) match engine to see it better instead of watching coloured dots on the screen.
>>66452959
work ball into box with no attacking mids may be your problem
no service for the strikers sitting in the box, especially the supporting target
boys gimme a fun team to manage in the first tier of one of the top 6 leagues i'm bored of playing the same 3 clubs over and over

>>66452979
>Probably should switch to 3D
I watched like 8 games, Full match, 3D camera.
Most shots are from inside that box. They regularly sky the ball from point blank or shoot straight at the keeper or just miss widely. The only one that scores consistently is Filip Ostric and, for some reason, that ML bloke (headers on the far post mostly) despite having shit stats. Except when they're offside ofc, they slot that in no prob.
Can I check anywhere to see how many woodworks I've hit?
>>66453034
This was the only game without an AM. The entire season I've used an AM and look, 41 goals in 31 games. Rubbish.
Teams are literally time wasting at the 55th minute when 0:0. Like what the fuck.
>>66453120
49* goals
>>66453120
they might just be shit?
Never really seen any differences when I've been messing around with the general training on this game... what am I supposed to be doing during preseason and during the regular season? Or should I just leave it to the assman...
>>66453036
CSKA Moscow
Is Russia #6? or it is Belgium/Portugal?
>>66453194
Pre-season? Fitness training and for match training, tactics to up the familiarity. During the season, whatever you feel your team needs.
>>66453165
They're not though. Not going by the stats anyway. I'm just frustrated, maybe they'll open up eventually.
I'd try playing a 3 defender formation but I don't want to leave out my full backs.
>'arry
>Good
Pick one.
Also who /Bhutan/ in 45 bings here?
Do you guys analyze your squad and evaluate your players' performances?
Like, do you make your squad decisions (who to buy, who to sell, which 11 to play in the most important games) etc based on ability, on your gut feeling, a mixture of the two, or do you actually analyze how your players did?
I started going through each player's performances after half a year ingame (two seasons ago) and it worked very well for me. one of my CMs who was literally 4th choice became 1st choice after I looked at these numbers and realized that he does well not only against shit teams, but regardless of the opponent.
He played lots of games anyway because I rotate and pick players based on form (against easier opponents), but I never played him in the biggest games because he was my weakest cm, raw ability wise, and up until then I picked my players based on form for most games and based on ability for important games.
I was literally handicapping myself by not playing this kid Joshua Holtby. He's a monster no matter who I play against, and he regularly scores and does well against huge teams.

>>66453514
no Vardy to bang them
I swear to god, I went trough at least 10 formations this season, I''m surprised my players aren't going crazy by this point. But hey, we cross to the big bloke now, and if that doesn't work, cross some more.
>>66453480
Top lad
>>66453514
No Vardy no party.
finally got him. I guess a couple months without a club persuaded him that he wasn't worth 22k p/w. hopefully I can get his workrate up a bit and he'll be our own brave canadian vardy

>>66453676
I seriously hope he's not the most paid player on the team. Srsly.
>>66453818
no, but close
>>66453800
is he a man city reject or something anyway? since that wage demand
#healthyfinances
300 players from the top 2 Romanian leagues are free to find new teams because they haven't been paid for 3 months
>>66453893
Feels like Spain.
>>66453893
maybe they could become janitors here
>>66453922
We already have a eastern European janitor though (mozzy) so we don't need anymore
>>66453834
That's actually a hefty wage for Slovenian standards.
Also, feel bad about Dob on my save desu. They were relegated from the 2nd league and spent a season or two in the 3rd regional league, they managed to get back up and even get back2back promotions iirc. Now they're fighting to avoid relegation.
It's also interesting that a bunch of their players are my rejects that left on a free.

I'm going to sell half of these fucking choking shitters. We drew with Domzale too. Now Maribor has to choke at least once in the next two games and we have to scored 4 goals without conceding to go ahead on GD.
Alternatively Maribor has to lose both games, and they play fucking 2nd-to-last Dob as their last fixture.
