If you're ever in that situation again you can put in the legwork yourself to work out if he will get a WP since it adheres to real life rules including the points system for appeals detailed in this article

>>66961063
wew I dunno why I read that
I was under the impression it was a lot easier than that to get in though, something like transfer fees and/or wages above X automatically gets you in
>>66961309
Well bigger transfer fees and wages will make it more likely for a player to get a WP on appeal as detailed in the part about the points system but it is still not a certainty.
Dunno how that points system for appeals works in FM though, might be if they score above a certain amount of points that they definitely win the appeal or it gives them a higher chance of winning the appeal but ultimately just does a virtual coinflip to decide.

Yeah but I thought it was simply a bar you had to pass, whether it was set or based on previous season's transactions is irrelevant. I thought clubs would just pay over that for borderline players and have no worries.

He's not, Turk is not that uncommon of a surname. Has nothing to do with him being Turkish though. It was a surname often given to people that fled Turkish captivity or sometimes people who fought the Turks.
However this guy has an umlaut U so he's of German ancestry and has nothing to do with turks at all.
>>66962743
>He's of German ancestry and has nothing to do with turks at all
Anon....
>>66962757
Yeah, reading that back it sounds funny. Either way it's not a Bosnian surname.
I have more of a problem with SI using serbian/croatian/bosnian names and surnames for Slovenia. Not that it's unrealistic, as we have a lot of diaspora from those countries but then you get fucking retarded agglomeration of names that never happen in real life.
Like, for example, Nemanja Oblak or Janez Petrović. The first is a Serbian name that you'll never find a Slovenian having and the Surname is Slovenian as fuck. The second is a stereotypical Slovenian name (so much so that Slovenes are sometimes called "Janezi" in ex-yu and it's out dated as fuck as well) but with an ex-yu surname.
Get what I mean? It's like having a Mohammed Johnson.
>>66962743
Damn, Agüero must be German too
>>66962824
>>66962824
I don't know about that but Türk is a German surname. We don't use the umlatu, neither do the Bosnians. The Slovenian version of Türk is just Turk and its a fairly common surname.
Slovenia had a significant German minority up until 1918.

Hi lads, random question.
I've been wanting to buy FM2016 on Steam for a while but the £35 price tag (plus an extra £3 for the editor? What the hell?) is a bit too steep for a game that will soon be out of date.
Do any of you experienced guys know if Steam usually lower the price of Football Manager towards the end of the season? Not sure if it's worth me waiting

>>66963833
I feel sad for the guy, he didn't even get a chance to prove himself to you.
>>66963863
Well, he's a 2 star player on higher wages than a 4 and a half star 20 year old. Even if he's decent (and he's not) I can't afford that.
In other news we've won our first game. Brace on a debut. Not happy with our defensive efforts though.
What's worse, losing 3-0 with no hope or 3-2 having some hope all the time?
I'm done with this Spuds save. Fuckimg Benteke scored two blooters from 25 meters. I'm gonna play Arselel.
>>66963911
IRL or FM?
Losing 5-1 vs Chelsea was easier than losing 3-2 to Norwich because at least I could stop hoping and get on with my essays. The worst was losing 6-1 to Man City after Mitrovic scored the opener
>>66963594
Impose an arbitrary challenge on yourself to keep it fresh, for example I'm aiming for a 100% academy produced CL winning team, no poaching or foreign intake.

>>66963982
>conceding three goals in 25 minutes
DELET THIS
I already forgot how meme worthy lower league management is. Conceding two goals in the first half. One from a free kick in the 2nd minute that my keeper punched into our own goal.
>>66963958
>>66963933
>>66963911
Losing 5-4 after equalising 4 times, with their 5th goal coming in the 80th minute. Long enough for me to score a goal, more than enough time for it. But watching 10 minutes plus injury time, it was just a cunt.
Should I stick with right or should I get left? I'm looking for someone that will finish crosses, don't care about the rest.
>>66964063

you'll have much higher rate of success with low crosses anyway, even with tall strikers

>>66965394
left
>>66965394
Guy on the left, obviously
You can get the determination up by tutoring and he's better in the vast majority of attributes that actually matter.
>>66965394
Why does /trb/ have such shit taste? Obviously the guy on the right
>20 years old
>18 decision
>20 determination
>16 leadership
>16 positioning
>>66965394
I'm assuming that they're not injury prone and have equal potential. Obviously you'd choose the one with higher potential or the one who's less injury prone.
Apart from that, they balance out pretty equally. If you're in need, the one on the right is a future captain with that leadership/determination combo.
>>66965461
They're both 20, in fact the guy on the left is younger at that. Determination can be upped by tutoring. The guy on the left is better where it counts. Leadership doesn't count for much unless you plan to make him captain.
He's better physically and technically and pretty much equal mentally excluding determination and leadership. AND he will score the occasional blooter from 30 yards out.
The only reason not to pick him see >>66965424
>>66965532
>Leadership doesn't count for much unless you plan to make him captain.
Not true.
> pretty much equal mentally
3 Attributes in decisions is a lot. Also guy on the right has better strength and jumping reach. And while Determination can be upped, it is very unlikely that you can up it to 20, and 20 Determination is real fucking valuable on a defensive mid, especially when he's physically as dominant and is very likely to make the right decisions.
They wanted like £60m for the left guy so had to go for this one. Is there anything more annoying than this fucking opening offer?

>Also guy on the right has better strength and jumping reach.
"Better" by one and two points. While his technique is lower by 4. And he is slower.
>especially when he's physically as dominant and is very likely to make the right decisions.
Except when he's at 13 team work and doesn't do what you tell him to do and makes selfish decisions and makes a worse team player. He is also worse at passing just to top it of.
He is objectively worse both physically and technically. Literally the only thing going for him is better decisions. He is also half a year older at that.
>20 Determination is real fucking valuable on a defensive mid, especially when he's physically as dominant and is very likely to make the right decisions.
Yeah, except he won't make it to the ball on time and when he does, he'll dribble cause he's a selfish cunt :^)
>>66965709
>"Better" by one and two points. While his technique is lower by 4. And he is slower.
Both aren't players where technique matters much, also ''slower'' by 2 or 3 points (ayy)
>Except when he's at 13 team work and doesn't do what you tell him to do and makes selfish decisions and makes a worse team player.
You act as if 13 teamwork was terrible, it isn't. And his almost perfect decision counts much much more than teamwork.
>He is objectively worse both physically and technically.
He's objectively better technically, physically he exceeds in attributes that aren't too important for a defensive mid. Strength and Jumping Reach on mids are god-tier since FM 14
>he'll dribble cause he's a selfish cunt :^)
>13 teamwork
>selfish cunt
Also you consciously ignore his greatest asset: His leadership. Something that is absolutely god-tier if tied with great decisions and determination. Ivanov is a beta-cuck who will never lead a team and inspire his team mates.

Yet at the same time you hype his 1 strength point, which might as well be 0.2 as far as we know. Never mind the 6th month gap in age.
>And his almost perfect decision counts much much more than teamwork.
Teamwork affects decisions he makes and increases cohesion on the pitch. Couple that with his worse passing and technique and he's going to be losing more balls. Something a DM can't afford to do.
>physically he exceeds in attributes that aren't too important for a defensive mid.
Having a fast defensive mid can be very important to grab balls. You also ignore that he's better at tackling.
>Ivanov is a beta-cuck who will never lead a team and inspire his team mates.
Who gives a fuck. A different player can be in that role.

I was mocking you by merely replicating what you said to me, when it's exactly the same regarding speed.
>Teamwork affects decisions he makes and increases cohesion on the pitch. Couple that with his worse passing and technique and he's going to be losing more balls. Something a DM can't afford to do.
I could make an opposite example of determination, decisions and leadership, also physical strength vs. agility and speed bla bla bla.

Lower League Management.
Don't care about Kob, he is just a salty old Dutchman.
I might also get back to the Spuds save, I just got mad when Benteke scored two blooters, both from +25 meters in one game.
don't touch me bitch
>>66965873
Zelda pls go
>>66965889
Yeah, I might try a lower league thing if/when I get bored of my Spurs game. Thinking about creating a custom club and starting in the lowest league.
>>66965836
sure.
>>66965929
... in England. But still set it up to be potentially great, like, have the team be in London.
i dont know how people play in small leagues. if you ever want to get to be a CL winner you get so good that you win every league game you play in and the season becomes so boring except the CL games. and if you lose them you get salty you have to play another season of meaningless games
>>66965951
Thanks. He is not half bad.
>>66965874
>I was mocking you by merely replicating what you said to me, when it's exactly the same regarding speed.
Except you weren't replicating it at all. Difference in 2, 3 or 4 points is far greater than a difference in 1 point. Like I said, the only out standing thing on him is decisions.
I'm not using someone that's objectively worse cause he's a good backup captain lmao.
Is there a tutorial on how to set up your own club somewhere?

You seem unable to grasp that leadership is objective quality and a great attribute for a defensive mid, captain or not.
>>66965994
Fun fact, there was a Somali team in the amateur league I belong to last year. In both matches against them they spent all of their time and energy on talking shit to eachother and sulking. They were also all gangly skelingtons, to a man.
>>66966012

ok only option is to holiday 5 years and post them again. see who turned out better
>>66966012
>Strength and Jumping reach are 3 points higher
Strength 16 vs 17
Jumping reach 14 vs 16
Technique 15 vs 11
>You seem unable to grasp that leadership is objective quality and a great attribute for a defensive mid, captain or not.
Yeah, sure it is, totally more important than the ability to control the ball, pass, tackle, run and work as a team. Great job.

This so many times that it's not even funny
I will post them after 5 years.
>bus status: PARKED
Fuck lads, we've nearly made it through the season undefeated but we've not scored in two goals and I'm terrified we're going to Slippy G it.
What position would you use this kid in in the future, given his overall attributes?
I bought him as a Wing Back back in the day but his Crossing did not improve even by 0.2 and working it "wont produce results" according to him, so maybe I should use him as a CB?
His shitty marking and heading would be worrying though, so I'm not sure. What would you do with him?
>>66966012
>the city of German posters
Jesus fucking Christ lad, I cringe every time. Your opinion is fucking awful. All the upsides the right kid has are meme attributes that are only relevant when comparing two more or less equal players.
A much better player (ability wise) will always outperform a guy who's much worse but has some good mentals, and if you don't know this then you should start playing the game some more
Leadership my ass

How many layers on irony are you on, my man?
>>66966072
You're the only one rating the guy on the right m8.
>>66966100
>185 cm
He's a wingback moite. You could pair him with a tall CB in cover if you like him there but looks like a limited full back to me
>>66966100
>Lamborghini
You sully that good name
>>66966100
I would still use him at full back, he looks solid enough.
>>66966181
Nice argument.
>>66966166
>"""Leadership"""
>Determination which can be tutored
>implying Jumping Reach and Strength are noticable after a certain threshold
the only thing the kid on the right has going for him is his Decisions.
What's the fucking point of having good decision making (by the way: the other kid still has CL tier decision making) when he cannot make a pass, especially not more difficult ones, if he gives away free kicks for badly timed tackles, and if he cannot reach his opponents before they score?
You're literally telling a guy to buy Großkreutz rather than Gündogan because Großkreutz has godly mentals
Players with highly specified attribute distribution and low base level won't reach the level of a very balanced player who is good at everything, unless you are looking for a specific player type (like a winger). He's looking for a defensive mid, he needs to be good at everything.
OK lads, my custom lower league team is going to be Shoreditch FC. It's going to be football hipsters Mecca.
Which colours should I use?
>>66966254
Purple and forest green for the hipster effect
Burgundy and yellow are acceptable too.
>>66966211
What was your argument again? Devolving into name calling after being told you're wrong?
Great.
>>66966254
Black and White.
Black being the dominant colour.
>>66966273
Why don't you just fast forward 5 years and see how they turn out?
>>66966244
>buy Großkreutz rather than Gündogan because Großkreutz has godly mentals
decent advice 2bh. I've seen großkreutz be a serviceable player into his very late 30s, and he's underrated
>>66966254
purple and fuchsia horizontal stripes my man
>>66966244
>"""Leadership"""
yes, leadership. Maybe inform yourself, read some FM Theory before your spout memes to fit in, cuck.
>implying Jumping Reach and Strength are noticable after a certain threshold
Again, inform yourself.
>What's the fucking point of having good decision making (by the way: the other kid still has CL tier decision making) when he cannot make a pass
As far as i'm concerned all attributes which influence passing are above 10, and another thing that you don't know, but let me enlighten you once more, is that Decisions is especially important for defensive actions.
>Players with highly specified attribute distribution and low base level won't reach the level of a very balanced player who is good at everything,
Literally wrong, again. Just stop m8. SI literally points this out that CA doesn't matter as much as CA synergies. And the right guy has a god-tier synergy of certain attributes for a DM.
>He's looking for a defensive mid, he needs to be good at everything.
Who the hell told you that DMs need to be good at everything?

at least he is giving Norbro a chance

Not my game and you'd have to do it 50 times to get a pattern. For all we know either of them can break their legs on the second day or just don't play at their clubs.
Not to mention the variables such as training facilities and coaching.

Who are you going to manage next? Are you going to take another shit tier team and lead them to CL glory in 2055?
>>66966273
I pointed out several things before calling you Ivan in just this post
>>66966072
>>66966319
Good point, i guess you were right. Leadership only exists to choose captains after all. We ought to tell SI.
>>66966326

Alll of these are on a respectable level.
>>BUT HEY HE'S GOT LEADERSHIP AND 3 MORE IN DECISIONS :DDDDDDDDD
And more determination and strength and jumping reach.
>>66966340
I pointed out several game-oriented points in the same post. Insulting him is just to add some flavour
>>66966373
when did he ever say that he is looking for a destructive player in his DM position you retard?
>>66966373
And you were told, several times, why you're wrong but keep coming back being a retard.
>respectable level
Top kek.
>>66966373
Still poor form. You should know better.
Insult him with something else than tired old memes.
>>66966094
Looks like another 0-0 to make it three games in a row, this time we secured the point in the void of time and space
>>66966340
You really miss all my posts lel. I'm managing Spain now and I guess in 2 or 4 years I'll find myself a nice comfy club, hopefully in Brazil or Argentina 'cause I have never managed outside Europe.
>>66966391
>>66966373
You guys can have different opinions on what is important for a DM and that is completely OK. I prefer the left player but it's the truth that leadership does not only affect how good of a captain the player is and that Determination is a key attribute for defenses.
