Guys i have a problem here. I never savescum my own games but i very often savescum opposition CL games. Right now it is Arsenal vs CSKA and i've reloaded the save about 30 times now and not even once have CSKA gone trough (the previous game was 3-3 in moscow). How the fuck do i get them to go trough? It's like the game is rigged.

arsenal is so overrated in game and russian league (especially cska) so underrated. How the fuck can they say that half the CSKA starters are "leading players for most serie B sides/decent players for most Serie A sides" and continue to overrate the Poortugal league even though the Russian league has overtaken the Poortuguese leageu in coefficients

First time playing a long save, not much experience with selling players for much money.

Leeds have offered to buy him for 500k and 40% next fee, is that reasonable? I'd need to buy a replacement as he's a rotation player.

Sup my dude, how's it going?

500k seems too low to me. it's going to be tough to get a higher fee, especially if he decides he wants to leave and won't sign a new contract, but he's probably going to be worth 10x that much in a few years.
his anticipation and determination are shit, but with a few years of training (and warnings whenever he plays badly) they should get up to respectable levels. I'd hang onto him if you can

>>75491063

Fall/winter 2015, I think

>>75517535
Must be around FM15. Y'know, back when neither Butters nor Morz' were playing outdated versions of FM.

>>75517614
The same way they fucked wingers and WBs in FM16, the same way they fucked up penalties in FM15, the same way they fucked up the midfield line in FM17... and then refused to change anything about it. Well they did introduce more variety for regen faces in FM17.2 (they literally were all the fucking same before that point).

Oh yeah, and the same way it took them three versions (15, 16 and 17) to get IWBs working.

>>75517646
fuck sake, it feels morel like early 2014 to me. time sure moves slow

>>75517655
but you know, I can kinda half-understand fucking up roles - fixing the ME is probably complicated, you probably can't fix one thing easily without fucking up something else. but the regen thing is literally just a facepack. it's so easily fixable, I dont get it


>I now remember FM16 wingers

>>75517760
For the same reason they fucked up Central winger: it might have exploited the dreadful midfield setup they have. And even if they shit version of it nowadays, when they start dribbling the opposition just panics. They also fucked up the Enganche by making it an even more static piece of shit than it used to be. I don't recall Riquelme or Recoba being unable to dribble SI FFS.

>>75517758
SI denied tooth and nail that something was wrong when the forum kept reporting that it was bullshit. Then better collisions happened as a "new feature for Football Manager 20XX".

>free kick taking 20
how good are players with those kinds of stats anyway? I never care about those and I never really have a player who's good at set pieces, sadly.

I do notice that every game seems to have a threshold, where players with an attribute level X can score free kicks regularly and players with a lower level simply cant even if they try 200 times. in FM17, that threshold seems to be 15.

>>75498549
didn't mitch use him in his first Dartford save in fm16?

>>75517977
>Calling it a "stat"
Well, thanks to his "Curls Ball" PPM- ahem, "trait", Payet with 18 FK Taking is way, way better at scoring direct FKs than Pjanic who has IIRC 20 FK Taking.

>>75518006
If he did, then you wouldn't know if the player was any good.

It wasn't that expensive back in FM14. In general, the attributes important for your position are the most expensive ones.

>>75525625
if you're prepared to start him there regularly, before he has any positional ability at all, I'd do it even if he was in his mid 20s.
if he's going to be sitting in the reserves or only paying striker until he learns the new position, then yeah, 19 is too old

>>75525877
I've not really played enough to see for sure but he has scored a fair few from crosses by wingbacks since he'll go into the box when they cross from the opposite side. I wouldn't really say it's the most significant thing but it's nice for those cases where he does get on the end of those crosses
