>>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.

unreal. are you going to load him up with PPMs, or is he just so good he doesn't need them?
>>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
2 are 19 and 1 is 22, wonderkid material only going to get better. Rest of squad is quality in 22-27 range but replaceable. 3 youngsters are must keeps unless a world transfer is offered.
>>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

that's the biggest understatement I've seen this week
>>66644701
some disgruntled french folks actually did a 100-some year test, that's what they came up with
>>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%
>>66644831

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:

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.

Literally how? Of all the unreasonble and unrealistic transfers ever happening on this game, this for some reason feels like a new low.

>>66658357
Yeah, but you need actually good players to win the prem
>>66658331
I'm in the 3rd season, and he was transfer listed for £7m. Been brilliant for me, but he hasn't played much in two seasons and his attributes have dipped a bit.

>>66658364
I'm on 16 but i dunno maybe that'll work, I tend to keep tactics as simple as I can because I don't understand the match engine that well, I'm basically Sherwood.

There a huge fucking difference between David Luiz vs Germany and West Ham vs Aston Villa. Also it wasn't about the scoreline, but the fact that there had been scored 7 fucking goals in 26 fucking minutes that bothered me.
>>66661146
In bed now but will post the match stats after. The CCCs at 5-2 were zero. Not a single one of those 7 goals in the opening 26 minutes were from an actual chance. Like I've benefited from the madness of the match engine before with wins from 4-0 down and stuff but this is ridiculous
>>66661146
>7 fucking goals in 26 fucking minutes that bothered me.
What I'm saying is weird shit happens in football. I'm not saying FM is flawless but as long as stuff like that doesn't hapen too frequently its perfectly reasonable as weird shit happens in real life too.
Remember earlier in the season when Lewandowski came on for Bayern at half time and scored 5 goals in 9 minutes?
>>66661316
That's true and by and large I like the FM engine so I excuse the occasional ridiculous thing. It blows its competitors out of the water. I'd prob be crowing about scoring 5 goals in 15 mins after being 2-0 down after 4 if it was my team

Agreed. It may not be perfect but FM ME is the best football match engine we have right now and it manages to capture the real game both in it's realism and quirk.
FM16 newfag here. What's good club to start with? I don't feel like playing top-class club, just something comfy and somehow challenging. Aiming for 5-6 seasons to learn and then maybe start new game.

>>66662612
Yeah at first I just laughed at how bad it was then as I rewatched it I realised how perfectly he sliced it, any more on it and it goes wide, any less on it and it doesn't go across the face of the goal at all. Unbelievable just right level of fuck up.

I finally caved in and got FM16, I played a couple seasons with JJK and I like it so I want to continue with it.
You can choose what team I play with next. Has to be in Europe. I'd prefer a top league club because I've played a lot of LLM lately and it'd be fun to start in the big league instead of climbing across 18 leagues.

Follow up response. Those 3 players are starters and my best players. Truly world players tearing up the premier league. They are team friendly contracts and I need to keep them happy.
The debate is whether I just pay them now or wait until they ask.
>>66663119
Everton
Team just shit the bed right at mid-season, goddamn.
>>66663598
if they're good and young, extend their contracts for as long as you possibly can now, before they realise they're great and want 200k p/w. see if you can sneak an automatic extension clause too, although agents typically don't like them for young players
>>66663681
Already gave them a moderate raise (2 mil to 5 mil per season) and extended them for 3-4 seasons. So they are happy with that but are still paid well below market value.
Think that's good enough for now?
who /drunk/ here?
Just cockblocked myself, told the girl I was dancing with that I wanted to go smoke, idk wtf happened in my brain in this moment. Then I went home and asked three russian looking dudes on the way whether they are the brothers karamazov. I think I'm getting more autistic the older I get.
My Norwich save is super comfy though, this makes up for it a bit at least. Id fuck Redmond at this point desu.
>>66663753
should be, even if they ask for a new contract, they'll usually back down when you tell them "you have time left..." as long as they really do have time left
>>66663788
Where the Russian guys the brothers Karamazov?
>>66663798
Okay Good to know. Gotta keep my golden children happy.
>>66663809
they didn't answer. but I think talking to a group of russians at 5am isnt a good thing anyway, even if you make the dankest references.
>>66663938

>>66664292

>>66664272
Russians here are pretty chill. Some are a bit obnoxious and they tend to get wound up real hard after 2am but they are okay in my books. Much, much better than gypsies.

It's hard to find local talent so teams mostly live/die based on how good their 5 allowed foreign players are
>>66665357
how readily to foreign players take israeli nationality? is it only ones who think they have a chance of playing for the national team, or do they accept it so they don't count toward your foreign player total?
>>66665554
It takes ~5 years to gain nationality and I haven't had a player yet who hasn't gotten Israeli nationality after the 1825 day period. I've got a Cameroon player who is considered Israeli but still plays for their national team if that answers your question
>>66665662
I think it does, cheers
been thinking of doing a save somewhere with a lousy NT but not-impossible nationality rules
Wingers are the best players of all time
So should I buy 2016?
hey im playingwith wolfsburg and they have a second team and a u19 team.
should i send my prospects to the II team? it seems to me its more worth keeping them in u19 so they can be tutored by my senior squad. am i right?
The regens that come through my youth academy almost never fullfill their potential, is it my fault or just rng?
>>66668175
What level is your training and youth facilities?
Do you have a good coach both for the senior and the youth team?
Do your scout or assman have a good JPA/JPP attributes?
>>66668175
Are they actually any good to begin with? Because generally speaking if you give a young player regular gametime, a decent tutor and he isn't injury prone AF its almost impossible (bar terrible, terrible hiddens which usually means bad player anyway) that they don't fulfil whatever PA they have.

>>66668224
He looks like he could have been good, wouldn't say amazing because a midfielder for me can't afford to be slow or not be a brilliant dribbler. But he should be good, he's only 19 after all and you're obviously giving him gametime.
Is the 2.5 star PA now because you've gotten a much better squad in that timeframe?
>>66668244
Do you remember to set the players' individual training?
According to your pics there shouldn't be any problems as long as your player doesn't suffer long term injuries.

To be honest it was more a big shoving match. It started at half time as all the players went to the bench and then carried on right down tunnel, ref was having to blow his whistle to try and stop them

Reminds me of a podcast I listened to yesterday where a norwegian guy who played for wimbledon told the story about a massive fight in the player tunnel before a big match at chelsea, where they then went out and played the match as if nothing happened.

kinda struggling at the moment with tactics in the shitter leagues
been trying to play without using any instructions whatsoever and just let my team play how they feel and just adjust the mentality within games however i've now drawn 5 games in a row at 0-0 or 1-1 so i want to spice this up a little
currently using a 4-4-1-1, however before that i was using a 4-4-2 that seemed to have the same problems - not enough goalscoring chances
i don't mind abusing crosses if that's what gets me winning games so i'll ask you guys - what team instructions should i use? i'm talking 3-4 at most

Press more, look for overlap, whipped crosses, use CWBs preferably but not exactly essential. I also use exploit each flank.
FM 16 is basically about creating as many situations where a winger/FB runs down the outside and crosses hard to the far post as possible, and stopping the opponent doing that as much as possible. 80% of goals in this years one are scored that way.

cheers grenny i'll give it a go :^)
sadly my players are too shit to be CWBs sso i'm not sure how successful that'll be
o i am laffin
>>66669623

>>66669674

5th win or get sacked game of the season. Lucky it's against these or I'd be in trouble.
Fucking getting hammered, they never make it easy for me. Christs sake like we beat these 6-3 earlier

Costa was well worth the money i bet
>>66670312
Easy, he scores so many important goals. And for someone with 20 aggression, he never gets a red.
I can't seem to figure out tackle hard. I tend to tackle the slow/weak players hard, I rarely get cards but I'm also not sure if it is of any use.
But I do enjoy the idea of tackling Gabriel Barbosa extra hard.
>>66670619
I find the vast majority of cards come from either angry shitheads doing THAT tackle or defenders trying to slow an attack down when you're caught shorthanded.
Basically, if you defend well, you won't get many cards no matter what kind of tackling you do.
I had a save where I specifically gave every outfield player the "tackle harder" instruction, and the effect was small, but all I saw was that we'd occasionally win the ball higher up the field and would give away a couple more fouls per game.

How much money am i losing by my fairly basic corporate facilities?
West Brom sacked me and I got a job interview at Sevilla, and because i remembered that my grandmother was a fan of that team, I decided to take it.
Have you ever took a team for sentimental reasons, apart from being your favourite/local team?
Will this guy be shit because of that bravery and determination?
>>66672156
yes

Ozil
>>66672131
My gf slept with some guy that plays for rivals of my local team so i took them in fm15 and throw him in reserve squad
>>66672156
>le ozil
Good start to my international career, 1-0 down to North Korea.
>>66672172
I'd say he is usable but nothing to get excited about. Only really worth it if you can get him dirt cheap.
>>66672172
10 bravery won't cripple him. the determination thing is annoying, but hopefully a few warnings/fines for poor performances will improve it to 12 or so.

Wow, you sure got your revenge, Stefan
>>66672178
At least no one will know
>>66672192
Can get him for £4m. I guess he'll make a useful squad player with that pace and that aggression letting him cover the stopper and cover roles.
