>>74560709
Probably, but he's pretty well developed for a 19 year old. He would be replacement for Sturaro that is getting hit on by Barcelona.
He just showed up in a scouting update, I would need to scout to find someone better.
Good way to trim the wage budget, thanks lads
(both were listed for loan the whole window, just nobody was interested)

How can you keep giving him these easy penalties? He obviously goes looking for it every single time. Why not just give PSG the benefit of the doubt after they have already had 3 stupid free kicks against them.

I can see why he gave it aswell, but it's fucking Neymar, you shouldn't give them this penalty because you know that he dives when he can in the box. The ref was unsure. Therefore he shouldn't have given the penalty.
P U L I G O D

Not at all. I'd define world class as top 5 in the world for the position. That's currently
Suarez
Lewa
Costa

Benzema, Aguero, Ibra are all as good as if not better than him too. Dybala has a shot as well.

@GaryLineker
Always hated the away goals rule. Kills so many games. @UEFA time for change?
@GaryLineker
No goal should have a greater value than another goal. It's just not how the game works. Nonsensical, unfair and spoils many a contest imho.
He says just as Barcelona get fucked by an away goal
>>74566015
>Not at all. I'd define world class as top 5 in the world for the position
really? That's fucking retarded
>>74566347
regardless of that, he is right, the away goal rule IS retarded.
moving into the champions league places lads. Our fortunes have really improved since the beginning of the season
>>74566347
Almost Wengeresque to talk about the away rule when Barcelona got into this position by losing 4-0 (away from home) in the first leg
>potential board takeover stops me going on my yearly free transfer binge
Awful.
Aubameyang now has a hattrick, 7 in 7 in the Champions League. He's also got 21 goals in 21 apps in the Bundesliga
>>74566015
Having a fixed number of slots available for the title World Class is retarded.

I would delete FM and never play it again
2 completely bullshit pens... I dont even
>>74567737
88, 90, 90+5
>>74567737
was fine until 87', free kick goal.
Then a refball penalty in 90'.
And a 90+5 winner.
>>74567737
Neymar great free kick
Suarez getting a penatly that was a clear dive
Then just enough balls sent into the box
APOLOGIZE
>>74567554
try again next season. never get too high with a win or too low with a loss. in fm such as in life there's always next year, and you can get through a season in one or two days
I'm done with this gay ass sport, the bad guys always win.
>>74567554
Release keeper.
Get a new back 4.
Veratti needs talking to, he should've been off if the ref wasn't bipolar in his decisions.
>5 minutes of injury time out of nowhere

>Chillwave will still idealize Suárez after tonight
Disgusting
>>74567554
>>74568033
I'd be so furious I'd probably have to sell most of the team that played. I've been known to sell perfectly good players over single but crucial mistakes.
Referee rating: 1
I watched Man City/Stoke lol

i literally rage quit and dont play for weeks when stuff like this happens with red cards/penulties/injury time goals
>>74568220
>I've been known to sell perfectly good players over single but crucial mistakes.
funny kind of reminds me of how your dad left when your mother gave birth to you.
Remember when the Champions League was like 1-0 first leg 1-1 second leg? Now it's rare to see a two legged tie with less than 8 goals.
>>74568220
>I've been known to sell perfectly good players over single but crucial mistakes
Same. I just fucking lose it sometimes. Kramer got 2 red cards in 2 games and then moaned about me giving him a fine. Instantly moved to the reserves and sold during the next transfer window.
>>74568307
same
ireland's brave walters and whelan and also murricas brave jeeoff cameron got stoke the point
joe allen looked fucking knackered
>>74568307
>>74568307
>>74568153
Just watched the highlights, that last goal wasn't offside, but yeah, the injury time was bullshit. It really was just like an FM match.
>I can't win without the referee's help: 2017 edition
I'd rather support Liverpool than Barcelona. Joke of a club. PSG are even more of a joke thou.
>>74568570
The Suarez pen, the 5 minutes of injury time and no penalty on Di Maria's shot were basically a robbery
>>74568307

>>74568808
SI should add a "I'm sorry boss but you're a pathetic choker I want out" conversation
>>74568808
I think everyone would agree that Barca got two weak penalties and an offside goal.
>>74568808
>Tell the kit man (person) that I'm sorry about the huge shit I left in my shorts.
>>74568835
>>74568896
to be fair, suarez wasnt crying like he was having a 'nam flashback. he just fell over and looked angrily at the ref.
Di maria was like an extra in saving private ryan trying to get his insides to stop being outsides.
>>74568937
Imagine choking a 4-0 lead and having literally 11 messages "x player wants to speak to you. He thinks that you are an absolute choker and want to leave"
>>74568939
Which was offside?
>it was unironically Sergi Roberto's first goal of the season
>>74569005
Yeah, he usually does that, which is probably why refs don't believe him anymore.
>>74569179
Why does this ref believe Neymar though?
Excuse me, but what? Ive lead your shit club from the conference to the prem, and we might just not relegate with the shoestring budget you gave me. And you dont have the confidence in me?
>>74569394

Arsenal players have a much stronger case desu. One monumental failure can happen, even if this particular one was too big of a monumental failure to be acceptable. But what Wenger pulls off year after year is insane, players must have the loser mentality to even want to sign for Arsenal these days

fine every single player 2 week's wages
move them to the u19s and keep them for as long as possible, with 2nd team players getting priority over the ones that were moved
let them rot in there for as long as I can, even if it takes more than a season until I get hit by an injury crisis that is bad enough that I have to rely on them
dont release them and dont sell them either if my club can afford not to so that they can rot longer

that kinda conveniently explains the scores I guess...
but I also heard that the match engine was shit, and tactics had less of an effect on the game etc etc.. all a load of tosh?
>>74570574
absolutely fucking wrong. FM 17 is a great improvement over FM 16 where crossing was op. FM17 has this really weird winger behavior tough where they just stay wide and dont close down ever, they only defend the opponent's wingers/fullbacks and nothing else. 4-4-2 sucks in this game.
I love FM17 though, its a great and balanced game if you dont plan to use ML/MR
>>74570465
the long and the short of it is that miles said a chinese translation wouldnt be economically viable until they sold 20k copies. Now they did, but the amount of text needing translation has multiplied. The chinese were not happy about this and review bombed on steam. The tossers.
>>74570574
these are all valid criticisms, but the x64 support can not be understated. The match engine is lackluster, but the only noticable differences in how it simulates matches is how wingers have the worst positioning ever.
>>74570647
>until they sold 20k copies
this is not what he said but the rest is correct
>>74570574
>that kinda conveniently explains the scores I guess...
Not really, look at the recent reviews in English. It's still overwhelmingly negative despite what SIIDF and mike say
>>74570696

Mostly complaining how the game is barely different to 16 and they are charging full price for an updated roster.
>>74570770
lel, that's not even true. the formerly OP wingers were nerfed to hell and back, the meta in this game is completely different than in the iteration before. It's all about meme roles like IWB now
>>74570696
recent ones are still about chinese and the ones that aren't are silly reviews.
Think that settles it, time to pour a few more weeks into the FM series...
I can't emphasise enough how much better 17 runs for me
>>74570881

>and positive reviews
Also, it appears someone is bombing the votes of any positive reviews, because not recommended reviews as simple as 'it sucks slololoolol!!!!!!' have 90%+ helpful ratings, while I'm struggling to find a single recommended review above 80% with a meaningful number of voters. (On an unrelated note, I really hate how simple puns or "played for 1000 hours lost job/girlfriend/house 10/10 would play again" etc. reviews get voted helpful. They're not helpful at all but there's almost always one or more near the top on every game)
Even if your statements had basis in reality and SI had turned FM on it's head, this wouldn't be the year to complain about it because it, at the corporate level, will very easily be explained by the insane ramblings of Chinese players who misunderstood your PR guy and don't understand how economies work. Also, they seem to still be throwing a fit despite SI reimplementing moddable language packs, essentially solving the issue.

this to be honest, 17 is worth it only because it added x64 support. after this there is little reason to buy another copy until they improve gameplay.
Great camera angle director mode!

The fact that strikers actually finish one-on-one is pretty important as well. Basically the only good thing.

can you please play a real 4-3-3 and not a fake 4-3-3 its like an insult to me.

oh right, sorry, had to play with a shadow striker because of injuries. I assure you 70 minutes were played in a real 4-3-3
or are you referencing the fact that im not using wingers?

Yes. that's what I'm referencing. Man City is playing a real 433. Not a fake 433 like you :(

>>74579289
Thats why you play your fastest strikers on the wings and make them cut inside. You can always play 4-3-3. You just have to want to do it.
>>74579293

I have a theory that (in real life) it's easier to avoid relegation from the premier league than it is to get promoted from the championship.
do you agree with this theory?

To some extent, yes. Championship promotion is more about consistency, whereas you can have a purple patch of a 10 games in the PL where you get good results and enough to stay up.

Spuds are the most extreme pressing side in the league with a slow striker and they play on an absolutely tiny pitch
In Europe they have to play at Wembley which is the biggest legal pitch size
>tfw too poor to buy regens
The Portuguese league is so poor, even if you win everything you get less than €3m.
My club just took a €38m loan to build a new stadium which I don't even need this upcoming season, they should've put that money in the transfer budget.
Lyon pretty good
>>74589591
didnt you allready post this? whats your transfer budget? its piss easy to make money for cheap foreign regens, all you have to do is sign progresively better free agents and sell them on half a year to a year later.
One or two free agents should get you a couple of young japanese or costa rican qties
>>74589591
Just signed this guy for £300k
Im making a profit on loaning him out
>>74589591
This guy is arriving on a free, granted hes paid a decent wage (14k/week) but ill probably make 2 million loaning him out over a season.

>>74589684
>>74589709
>>74589730
Yes but I just woke up and started up FM a few minutes ago and was reminded of this fact again. I like to complain about this league.
I got only €2.3m if I put the slider to the far right. It's just frustrating if you play in a top league and are qualified for CL but can't afford a bunch of regens. I can't even upgrade the facilities.
>>74589943
>I just woke up
>>74590004
I'm trying to reset my sleeping pattern for the 2-3th time this year.
>>74589943
OK lad you have more than enough money to sign one or two regens, stop your bitching.
Heres what you do, go through the national teams and youth national teams of these countries. There are better countries, but these are the best when youre on a budget.
Japan
South korea
Costa Rica
The entire south america (except brazil and argentina)
Ivery coast
South africa
Algeria
Get a scout report on every regen NOT signed to a wastern team who is under the age of 22 who plays in the main national team. And under the age of 20 who plays in the youth national teams.
Sift through every report and get a one week report on every regen with a 5 or 4.5 star potential.
Also keep an eye out for the WNT, if a top 4 club in a top 6 league wants the player, you dont even have to scout him, just submit a bid immediately because hes guaranteed to sell for a boatload in a couple of years.
Now you start finding the weakest links or the cheapest 5 star potential regen you can find. Every time a scout reports a 4 star or lower potential on a player, cancel the assignment and forget about that waste of space and tissue.
Also look out for players that show high current ability, 3.5 stars or higher should get scouting priority. If you can find an 18 year old costa rican who can compete for a starting spot in your team, sign him up. Trust me.
Then keep scouting the good ones till you get a 80+% knowledge of them and sign the ones you can afford who are still looking promising up.
>need a new goalkeeper
>no 35-year plus African goalkeeper with lots of international caps available on a free
>>74589943
also, if you can, put a scout on assignment to find youngsters in north america with 4+ star potential.
It's hillarious how many decent regens are available for free from their academies.
The dream's about to die lads.
>>74590236
ouch, thats a harsh run to end the season. RIP

Newcastle just sacked Rodgers, lets play a game.
Who managers man utd?
Wayne Rooney was recently hired for a premier league team after unremarkable seasons managing oxford (league 1) and brentford (championship). Where has he gone?
Who manages arsenal?
Pochettino is still in the prem and has won 5 trophies with his club, where is he?
How many managers have leicester sacked after winning the league? Can you name one?
Honorable mentions: Rio ferdinand is about ot manage aston villa out of the championship into league 1 while ryan giggs is about to win it after placing 20th in the prem with west brom.
Pardew continues stealing a living in the border between the championship and premier league, now with nottingham.
After his unfortunate run with Hull Mike Phelan became assistant manager at charlton where he was caretaker manager 5 times in the time period 2019-2023 before finally being appointed their manager.
>>74596239
I forgot to say that both the arsenal manager and the manu manager are currently managing in the prem

>>74596941
Absolutely disgusting
>>74599188
I'm still annoyed they left 3 at the back tactics so much stronger than anything else.
>>74599222
I don't exactly agree with that, it's more about IWBs exploiting the right places in FM17. And I do essentially if not exclusively play 3 at the back.
>>74599244
I agree there. In general 3 CB tactics are better than a back 4. Just looking at 3 CB tactics, 3 CBs + IWBs is by far the best combination of roles.
Once your back 5 is set, there's only so much variation within the rest of your formation. My tactics are all too similar and it's making the game feel a bit stale.

It's also worth mentioning I sold Rodriguez to them this summer for £1m, and he's scored 6 goals. 4 of them in the 2 games against me.
>>74601074
I have a striker/cut inside man who occasionally gets moody about leaving for other teams in this league, and I know damn well the same thing would happen. he scores 40-50% of our goals, but at another club he'd be a shit, 6.60 average rating, constantly-unhappy backup player who would score all of his goals against us each season (while unfit and with abysmal morale of course)
