>>66642490
don't worry, we're pretty close to yours, no need to feel insecure
>>66642524
IMO it's because we only enjoy watching football and playing it for fun without any intention of turning it into in an industry the way European football are.
So the talents are there but buried very deep and the (mostly) corrupt associations usually doesn't even bother to unearth it.

>>66643052
I really don't know what PPMs could add something to his game. one-twos maybe?
this is how I use him
>>66643095
I would be tempted to give him that and knocks ball past opponent, yeah, but then I'm a shitter who abuses pace instead of playing with dignity. maybe lobs keeper too
What a boring game
>14 runs in one inning

>>66643133
I've already got like 5 players who knock past opponent, I don't want all the players doing the same thing
switches ball to other flank might be cool though
>>66643172
Newb question, how do I get my players PPMs?
Hypothetical.
I'm managing Palace in the premiership and I have a bunch of real quality young players on team friendly long term contracts. If I got somewhere around 30 to 40 mil wage/transfer budget increase in the off-season would it be better to acquire more players or invest that money into higher salary contracts for players I already have. I already gave most of them raises which they are happy with but I just want to be smart about this.

You ask your coaches to teach them or they learn through tutoring as other players will teach them their PPMs
>>66643457
Hoping for a Poland-Ukraine final.
Bracing for a France-Italy final where Italy won 1-0.
>>66643221
depends what "real quality" means
will they be good enough not just to fit into your team but to improve it significantly?
and how old are they?
>>66643221
You can always find younger players who you will be able to develop better so really outside of a handful of phenomenal players you may already have you should just look to sign new players to fill in any weak spot you may have then invest the rest in youth and just get rid of anyone who isn't phenomenal that is bitching about improved contracts etc. Or just ignore the ones that complain, generally it just goes away and if their contract is coming up in 12-18 months you can just sell them.
>>66643474

>>66643505

>>66643517
Okay Good points. May look into more youthful phenoms i can snag at a bargain.
>>66643591
>2 are 19 and 1 is 22
those guys need to be starters at that age, really. If they're good enough for it I'd offer them new contracts; if they aren't, they probably never will be, but you might want to send them out on loan to get their value up and then sell them if they don't develop a lot in that time

>>66644651
There's more in The Carribean, but they're all tiny islands. As opposed to places like India and Pakistan which have huge populations
>>66644793
Somehow India and Pakistan produce very few regens of any nationality.
>>66644793
And yet can you name a good Indian/Pakistani footballer?
No because they are more into cricket
>>66644754
if you holiday the entire thing then that's probably what happens but if you fully simulate the season then it's likely closer to 95%

Maar dat is niet waar. Het stond vanaf dag 1 al vast dat de regering sowieso niks zou doen met de uitkomst van het referendum. Ze kunnen het lage opkomstpercentage gebruiken als reden om de uitslag van tafel te vegen, en als puntje bij paaltje komt zwichten ze toch wel voor Europa. Het is goed dat Powned aan de kaart heeft weten te brengen dat het een zeer reëel initiatief is om als groep burgers een referendum af te dwingen. Dit was wellicht niet het perfecte onderwerp voor een referendum, dus het was grotendeels symboolpolitiek. Het blijkt echter wel jammer dat het altijd zal blijven bij een 'raadgevend' referendum wat inhoudelijk enkel betekent dat het besproken moet worden in de kamer.
Hi

Am I doing something wrong or what? I listed a few players for loan, as well, and no one seemed interested.
Who /HIGH ENERGY/ here?
>>66648341
Teams can ask for whatever amount of money they want, the value is just some imaginary number and nothing more.
And of course, if they want a lot of money up front then they won't settle for much less money up front and then more money over time, they do need to replace Pogba after all.
>>66648341
also, just because you listed them for loan does not mean that anybody is interested in them.
offer the player to clubs for a loan, that will make them more aware of his availability.
>>66648341
I always try to unsettle players who aren't for sale by declaring interest.
If your club is of a higher rep than theirs it usually works. Also helps if the player is ambitious.
>>66648405
>>66648377
Demo only has English teams in regular mode, so I was using Chelsea. I attempted to loan out Courtois, just to play around and get used to things.
>>66648361
Makes sense.
ALSO; I played my first match, against NYRB, and lost 4-2. I told my team, before the game, to mark and contain BWP, but they pretty much ignored me. What am I supposed to do when everyone just doubts my credibility but we lost because they refused to mark him?
>>66648443
Here's a good guide on loans:

Actually, if you end up buying FM and want to get good at it, you should read that entire guide.

I probably will. The PES and FIFA manager experiences are just underwhelming, for the most part, and I wanted something a bit more engaging. Thanks bro.

I concur. They're also nicknamed Wolves. I instantly like this team.
>>66648892
Yeah, well I'm buying him. Even if he's shit I'll make a good £25m on him.
I've no clue why, but Bojic very often makes sharp calls and generally scores (despite being called inconsistent and disliking big matches) or at least hit the target. Ademir him, barely hits the target. Actually it's not like he simply doesn't hit the target (or even the keeper) he just >TORRES the ball yards off the goal. Perhaps it's the game's way of telling me that his adaptability to East Europe is poor considering he comes from Brazil, but I don't quite understand why it would manifest itself by him simply hoofing the ball in the stands when he approaches the goal. He doesn't have PPMs (like Bojic), nothing about his mentals in the coach report (just says that his physicals aren't good).

>>66650439
Well he has no estimated cost which means HSV doesn't want to sell him.
He's also not really interested in a transfer which means you are probably not in a very high rep club which means it might be hard to unsettle him so he requests a transfer for less...
30m sounds like you're overpaying, IMO. I wouldn't pay that much for him.
>>66650477
Because HSV said no to 10m and 20m
>>66650504
He's already accepted a pretty reasonable contract, it's just about if I want to take the transfer hit.

>>66650592
>Because HSV said no to 10m and 20m
That's because they know his potential and he's not for sale. Even if he's world-class """potential""" (with the hidden attributes that go with it), 30M isn't really worth it unless you have hundreds of millions in budget.

>playing in a shit youth league with shit youth coaches
nah m8. I like my regens to be starters at 17 if they are at liga BBVA level. Burnout is a myth.
>>66652084
are you really this retarded?
the difference is that a GK getting an injury virtually NEVER happens. it's MUCH more likely that both my fullbacks will pick up a yellow card in an important game and get close to a red, and I'll have to sub them out. and playing a slow, sluggish, tall CB as a left back will definitely fuck your shit up and you'll literally concede 3 goals because of it, similar to playing a manlet fullback as a CB.
and even if I had to choose between having an outfielder in goal and 10 outfielders that can play their positions and having a red fullback/cb/defensive mid and a good GK, I'd choose the former any day of the week. if your team is not hopelessly bad then your GK has much less of an influence than your outfielders, having a defender that just cannot defend properly will mean lots of CCCs but having a GK that cannot save a ball can be harmless if you defend well
>>66652143
>Burnout is a myth.
awwwwwww shit
although I agree :^)
>>66652153
... this is why you sign backup defenders that CAN cover both CB and FB
>>66652175
This is useless if you play CWBs, there's no way you'll find a player with great jumping, heading, marking, crossing, dribbling and pace.

My favourite save is confirmed kill, tried all the tips from the official forums but it still crashes roughly the same date every time.
Tried sending it to a buddy but it crashes on his computer so there's nothing in the settings...
Sooo trb give me a new interesting team to play with, european big leagues(Eng, Spa, Ita, Fra, Ger, Ned, Por, Bel basically) but doesn't have to be top division.

Wormatia Worms
