After watching Craig Foster's pedophilic tit-grab (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WNl_ngBlho) I came across something interesting

Back in 2006 he coached a bunch of 'nerds' for a TV program, and their first match was against the Australian u21 womens team, which the womens team won 11-0.

Then they lost 8-0 against a team of prison inmates.

They had a rematch against the womens team, which the women won again 5-0.

After three months of training and the above matches, the final game was against Melbourne Victory FC in front of 25,000 people, which the Victory won 12-2.

Haven't watched it yet, but here's the final episode with the match against Melbourne Victory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOJVx9emJzc

Actually they claimed it's 25,000 people, but looks like hardly anyone is left in the stands after the end of semi final match that preceded it

There's your problem m8. For some weird reason, this kind of talk makes some players choke (works also in real life, any sport). If they're playing well, tell them assertively that they're playing well: it motivates them.
>>

The players understand this to mean: "the game's in the bag, you don't need to try in the second half".

I just signed two new DCs and they're both better than my current DCs at both their position and captaincy potential

My current captain and one of my DCs is 24 and has the potential to be better than both of them and I don't want to fuck with the team synergy

Does it ever work giving a new player captaincy or does it just piss everyone off? Should I keep playing the current captain over at least one them hoping he'll bring out his potential and git gud?

>>
>>64808517
It should prompt you at some point to choose your captain for the season, if you do it then it hardly ever pisses people off especially if you speak to the "current" captain and just say you have better options now or whatever fits best.

>the state of the argentine league

so, they changed the league last season so that there's 30 teams, and the season goes on for the whole year.

Now they're changing it again so that they can have 2016-17, and keep that format for the years that follow. The first half of 2016 is going to be the most MLS-like season of Argie football ever, and they have to do this for the format they want to have for the season afterwards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Argentine_Primera_Divisi%C3%B3n

Fuck off, AFA. Just fuck off and die.

>Anime
Don't know why I'm discussing this, you probably don't even read opléb.
>>
>>64810771
Probably prefer left slightly but only marginally whilst right will probably be the much cheaper option so assuming you're gonna want to sign other people and stretch your budget I'd take right, if for some reason money is not an issue then I'd take left.
>>
>>64810746
The official reason is that Argentinian league was too centred around Buenos Aires historically and getting relegated was incredibly hard. I mean, you'd have to be seriously retarded to get relegated. So they basically fused the two top leagues (IIRC), and will keep reducing the size until there are 20 teams left (hopefully the best ones in Argie) in the top league.

Even better: FC Luch-Energiya from Vladivostok. Most teams hate to play against them due to being so far East, they're roughly ~6.4k km (4k miles) away from Moscow. So basically right next to the Japanese coastline, see [pic related].

Shit got even worse when Baltika Kaliningrad relegated last year to the 2nd divison: FC Luch had to travel 7400 km (~4.6k miles) as there was no direct flight between the two cities. No biggie, they're travelling more than 100k km in year anyway.

hello fellow sports management game autists, i play out of the park baseball, and lemme tell you about some shit

you see, the fun part of FM is that at least when it trolls you, it only does so once or twice. OOTP is willing to kill my entire season.

going into the final month, i had a 6 game (~15 points in terms of soccer) lead on the dodgers with about 30 games to play. We sorta stumble for the next 24 games, but with the last 6 games in the season against two of the shittiest teams in the league, we had a 1.5 game (~5 point) lead over the dodgers. ez game.

fucking nope. all 6 games ended 1-2 or 3-4. all fucking 6. so we got to sit on our asses and watch the dodgers win the world series.

i now understand all of your pain

The game literally didn't have any game play.
It just counted minutes and the showed a little replay of either the striker scoring or the GK making a save. Then one of my players got injured and I couldnt figure out how to put a sub in so a closed the game and hit refund.

Various issues in non-TOP5 leagues (new fixtures out of thin air, half of the squad on holiday for a cup final etc.), players complaining about being left of squad registration while they weren't even available, poor multi-thread / core performance, save-breaking bugs with add / remove leagues ... only a few long-term and (most likely) still unsolved issues from the top of my head.

I thought it'd be fun trying out a 3-5-2 since the previous manager left pretty much no other options (maybe 3-4-3 if I hadn't sold off strikers) but with the opposition getting off Moyes-tier amounts of crosses I recently gave up, switched to a 3-2-3-2 and hope to be able to make a switch to a "4 at the back" formation in the summer

They take a break for the major tournaments group stages so unless a Scando country makes it out of the groups its not a problem and if you've gotten to a stage where you have a multinational squad where most of your team are full internationals then you should also be good enough to have adequate backups to still rape the league

>shit bravery, tackling, and positioning

Collins doesn't look like he'll help at all when you're out of posession, but if your tictac doesn't need to hassle people in the midfield he might be worth the savings.
>>
>>64849982
left. they're pretty comparable quality-wise, although collins is more of an attacking player than an all-round midfielder
it just comes down to price for me
>>
>>64850194
I do close down a lot, but I play with a 3 man midfield and two ball-winning mids next to the CM so he doesn't need to be great defensively. What surprised me was that Collins averaged 7 tackles a game last season in over 30 matches. Not sure how much bravery actually matters.

But yeah, suppose it's hard to pick the guy that will cost much more, I'm just worried that Collins will end up being shit.

i use one tactic the whole season and rarely change it. some people have an away and home tactic. i only use player ratings. if it 6.0 or lower, I will usually sub them out. 5.9 and lower is an automatic two match fine for me.

Buy a game that isn't FM.
>>
>>64850462
>>64851198
there's no one really good answer. first I like to have 3 fairly different formations prepared and to tinker with them on matchdays, then I decide on a general strategy based on the strength of my opponents, and then I look at their team page to see who their best players are so I can plan around them if need be (and make not of who has high ratings/stats, sometimes they'll play a phenomenal striker at M(R) and they won't be a threat)
during the match itself is just guesswork I think, it's hard to tell how much of that stuff really matters, but keeping any eye on player condition and motivation will at least let you know if someone really needs to be subbed off

>>64851198
Try things like switching to attacking if your not creating any chances or going to direct.

Obviously you'll want to switch players out if their condition goes below 70, unless they are doing really well/you need them.

I guess it's all about making lots of minor switches to see if something changes, like making your players tackle harder.

If the opposition looks weak from the centre or has only two wide players you could try to exploit the middle/exploit the flanks.
>>
>>64851472
sign a guy with really high eccentricity. it'll burn you occasionally, and I don't know if it's exactly the same in fm16, but in past versions that seemed to cause them to rush out more often

>>

>tfw fell for the improve junior coaching meme
Costs for my youth academy completely spiralled, we have excellent junior coaching and all-together the academy costs us £1.3 million a season. This was the best player my academy produced in the last intake.

I'm fucking retarded half the time.
Still, the point stands.

At least I got a laugh from this guy, almost worth the £1.3 million.

>>
>>64853692
I would never ever pay money to see the kind of football my FM teams play
Slow, grindy, unimaginative plodding that usually ends 1-0 and is only interesting if watching a DM successfully complete passes to his CBs is what tickles your pickle

My two wing-back starters that I used in League 1, both had excellent seasons.

Physicals > all

Although I'm a bit worried that Liam might get exposed in the Championship

Is a Director of Football worth having?

>>64857157
I can't speak for FM16, but knowing SI it probably hasn't changed much save for a coat of paint - they're only useful if there's some aspect of management (singing players, renewing contracts, scouting, whatever) that you're honestly just not interested in doing. I've never seen a DoF do something that I couldn't have done myself

>>64857453
>singing players

Is that how they do half-time in Canada?
