Happy birthday to former FM cheese Igor Akinfeev who turns 30 today
>>66673386
Some of us discern player quality by octagon with reference to key attributes
I can barely tell what a player is like unless I see the octagon desu, even though I know the key attributes for each role
>defender scores a cheeky blooter
>>66673386
Looking at the octagon instantly gives you a sense of what kind of player he is, versus taking 20 seconds to look through all the individual attributes. Plus it is way more satisfying to look at a nice octagon.
>>66673386
>the octagon doesn't even have additional information Jorge
>>66673386
This. It actually has less info and it doesn't take long to train yourself to look at just the attributes and still tell at a glance how decent a player is.
I guess what I'm saying is Octagons are for plebs.

what about the third tier? Plenty of interesting teams there. If you want second tier it's either Tenerife, Oviedo or Zaragoza.

>>66674226
does this always work? like, don't they have to accept?
I'm kinda interested in FM, but I can't buy it because
>lolgermany
Can anybody explain to me why exactly SI's FM isn't sold in Germany? From what I've heard it was because EA had the exclusive license for the german leauges and because they had their own FM (which was pretty shit). But now EA doesn't make FM games anymore and even ignoring that, the german license isn't licensed as I can see in >>66674613
This makes no sense to me
>>66674632
>>66674636
Those clauses are supposedly an agreement between the clubs so they always accept. Also (at least in 14) that money goes all straight to your transfer budget.
>>66674655
just torrent it then fag
>>66674620
what's interesting in third tier then? just don't want to play with absolute wank players for 5 seasons
>>66674682
>>66674655
This is FM12 anyway, and you can just fix that with a few files and logos in the latter FMs.
>>66674655
that license applies to FIFA games as well
>>66674706

We happen to be in the same group in CL. They have 1 point, we have 4, 2 matches remaining (including against them). Well we're not gonna do squat and probably will end up with 4 points anyway.
>>66677027
idk lol I only played FM16 for a few days. Protect your hot prospects and try to get someone on loan / on a free for the positions you are weaker. 4-3-3DM or 4-2-3-1 should work.

Is Portugal best league to start as a newb? Can get a small but workable budget, can sign Brazilians easily and loan in a stupid amount of players. Plus the league is easy.
Seems a good place to practise and learn with a lose leash.

See? You don't need a keeper on the bench. Usually you will be playing against shit teams that concede 5 before HT anyway.
Buy? scout only gives him 2.5 stars, is like 15m
How do you get players on loan for 0% wages? Or how do I get those players to show specifically when I scout?

Question
if you had to pick one real team, with their current squad aged 3 years, to play with in a one off online cup final in FM, who would you pick?
for me it's Juve
found an old backup of my luxembourg save on fm14 that didn't die when I got to January.
the season right before it died I had made the final of the CL, but lost to Liverpool in the final 3-2 because of my cb choking immensely. The next season I made the final again, and again lost 3-2 thanks to a cb choking, last season I made it again but finally won it. pic related

>Win league with a club for the first time,endinga ten year reign of terror by another club, and getting champions league football
>Not even favoured personnel
>>66680301
the team is filled up with players I bought in who have been nationalised as luxembourgers, out of the starting team. This guy recently made his debut, he was english/irish and every single international window I'd get two journalists asking if he should be picked for the national team of both england and ireland, he even got called up multiple times into both national squads as injury cover but never played a game. Then 6 months after he became eligible he got his first cap at age 29 for luxembourg, got a hat trick against Norway.
If it were me IRL I'd pay the damn fine myself

Well, what you can and can't do changes in different countries and idk about Portugal. What I'm sure of is that you don't get a regen intake.
I'm going to sell seven current first team or backup players who have peaked and are getting old for my young setup
Is this a good idea? That's almost 1/3 of my squad, and I'm bringing in 18-20 year old wonderkids (transfers and u21s) to replace them (all on the bench; promoting currently benched players to first team)
Will this affect squad morale and stuff? Will the board think I'm mad? Will everything be OK as long as the players I bring in aren't dogshit?
>>66683067
Team will probably go to shit for a little while with massive changes like that. If you can try to spread it over 2 or 3 transfer windows.
>>66683067
Things will seem ok initially, but I suspect over the medium term (3-6 months) you'll get some very inconsistent form and a handful of extremely disappointing results
If the kids are good enough they will adapt, and after the transitional season you'll probably be better off than before the transfers, but overall you're better off easing new players into the team gradually

is the Slovenian league difficult only when you have to play EL matches at the beginning?
>Buy an apparently promising youth striker
>Put him on Balance training
>AssMan says he's already at his peak
Fuck. Me.
>>66687650
The issue is that the league has no rep and very low wages. You'll need to scout significantly poorer countries (at least South America and Africa in addition to East Europe and perhaps Austria) to get players who won't ask you for 10k/w wages which is in absolute not that much 2bh. It rules out most of Central Europe (outside of Austria), Scandinavia doesn't work (higher development tier), South Europe overpays its players to attract them too, >eplel, the biggest Sudaca clubs are ruled out too. You'd better rely on youth development for long term success or it's gonna be a pain.
>>66687650
>>66687779
The other way to do it is to do it like Bay- sorry, Maribor. Poach the best players in the league as much as possible. It will be difficult to poach from Olimpija and near impossible from Maribor. The issue with that is that you will simply rape those teams out of their best players, so they won't help you promoting the league in terms of European rankings or reputation. So don't hesitate to be very generous to Slovenian clubs: overpay the players (you have enough money for that anyway), put some %age of next sale clause so that you'll keep giving them money, sell your shitters (who would be near stars for their teams) for very low money and don't hesitate to loan your youngsters to them with no fee as well as allowing them to play against your team.
Also, considering the retarded scheduling of the Slovenian league and FM being a shit at rescheduling, if you play EL you better force matches on Wednesdays and Saturdays or your squad will die.
