What does a chairman do in FM? Mine says he's gonna step down (probs because we're haemorrhaging money), will there be any actual change to finances?
>>77967330
the chairmen have some basic stats (that you can't see without cheating) like financial resources and how long they'll let you suck before they sack you etc.

Why not just play 5-4-1 diamond with wing backs and central midfielders? Although to be honest I tried playing it and didn't go as well as I hoped for :(
>>77968943
>Why not just play 5-4-1 diamond with wing backs and central midfielders?
While you would defend with a line of 5, you wouldn't attack with a line of three players able to score. Trust me I tried. I generally use the 5-4-1 Diamond only when I need to defend a lead. Usually it's a 3-4-3 Diamond. In Europe I'd play a 4-1-4-1 more often than not however.
The issue with IWBs of course is that when you defend you just have a line of 5 and no midfield; I wish I would ask the AMC to drop and form a line of four with the >wongas and the DLP(D) but alas, this is not PES.
>>77968975
>>77968943
But then, the AI in FM17 is unable to exploit the gigantic half-spaces available to them, which is why SI'slegendary QC team treats the WM/CM (or DM) spacing issue with a lot of complacency.
Case in point: pic related. Yes, these players are garbage with not even 100CA. But surely there's better to do in this situation than shoot from 40 metres.
>>77968975
So you would need a move to position feature similar to swap positions just to make him track all the way back
>>77969026
Yeah, basically. I previous FMs you would ask your CMs to man-mark the oppositions' wingers, but then if they're WPs, IFs or W(S) or even DW(S), or if they don't have wingers at all; well it doesn't work at all.
It's something that completely ticks me off in FM: the impossibility to have an attacking and a defensive formation. Either you want IFs/RMs and they don't defend, either you don't and you don't have access to these roles. They have no business being in the AML/R slots at all anyway since no fucking team in the world defend in a 4-3-3 with three players dicking around upfront.
>>77968975
>While you would defend with a line of 5, you wouldn't attack with a line of three players able to score. Trust me I tried. I generally use the 5-4-1 Diamond only when I need to defend a lead.
I had the same problem and it wasn't even all that great in defence, I tired drooping wing backs a bit further back so that there would be 5 defenders in a line,but AI would still get between WB and CD and cross the ball inside.
>Usually it's a 3-4-3 Diamond.
How does that work? I mean do wingers on support return to defend?
>In Europe I'd play a 4-1-4-1 more often than not however.
With WM or wingers?
Also why are you playing CF when the played isn't suited for the role?
tips?
is it habbening?
>>77969074
>How does that work? I mean do wingers on support return to defend?
Wingers on Attack, Very Fluid (you have to use Very Fluid). More often than not I play a DLP(D) in the DM strata instead. My CF(S) doesn't move into channels, and sometimes I use him on an Attack duty to have a focal point for my attack instead of him drifting into the horizon. My CM(S) don't get further forward nor move into channels, they stay slightly back since you already have potentially four offensive players. I prefer a AP(A) to a AM(A). I generally prefer the AM(A) role, but the playmaker bias prevents >Wengers from doing very, very stupid shit, and the AP(A) doesn't get further forward by default, which allows for a bit more elbow room for the other players.
>https://community.sigames.com/topic/372887-johan-cruyffs-3-4-3-diamond-very-fluid/
>With WM or wingers?
Depends of the opposition. Usually WMs with their best foot inside, but I don't exclude wingers or WPs if the situation requires so.
>Also why are you playing CF when the played isn't suited for the role?
I don't give a shit. If the player has the attributes he plays there, end of. If you listen to FM's opinion of what your player should be playing as, you won't play a lick of coherent football.
>>77969090
Player instruction shoot less on your wingers and CMs
>>77969090
Winger is THE role there's no business using in the AML/R strata. If you're using those stratas it's for the other roles. BMW(S) isn't a holding midfielder. Well BMW isn't a holding midfielder at all so forget it: DLP(D), DM(D), Anchor Man, you name it. Also, someone needs to score or help scoring, and that's not what a DLP(S) associated with AP(A) and W(S) do unless your players are just very strong and their PPMs shape their behaviour much more than their role/duty (you wouldn't give any fucks about tictacs in that case anyway).
>>77969090
what FM is this one ?
>>77969157
>Very Fluid (you have to use Very Fluid)
How does that work when you're attacking? Doesn't it leave you vulnerable to counter attacks?

I'm done lads. Lost against fucking Nice
>>77969217
In the OP, there's this.
>https://community.sigames.com/topic/401273-what-is-team-shape/
You use Very Fluid because in a formation with glaring issues (basically very weak against three or four man attacks like 4-2-3-1, which is everywhere in FM17), you need all your players to commit to every phase of play instead of having a stiffer system where you'd want player to do what they're asked to and nothing else. There's a time and place to use more structured formations, but I personally always use at leas Flexible if not Fluid or Very Fluid.
>>77969256
Thank you, just another question regarding wingers if you don't mind. They have in general quite poor marking so how effective are they in defence?
i got fired. kek
>>77969340
They're worse than they used to be, but you're not looking to defend deep: if your pressing failed you're in trouble. I'd usually use retrained FBs or WBs instead of "actual" wingers. You really need the right players: a good bundle of Aggression, Bravery, Team Work, Work Rate and some Det can help massively when it comes to get the fucking ball back. You'd usually use a 3-4-3 Diamond against 4-4-2 and variants (except 4-2-3-1 because FM).
>>77969389
>>77969340
The key is to have good CBs actually. They need ot be somewhat decent on the ball or at the very least have the mentals that will prevent them from fucking up. They should be pretty quick too. Stuff like pic related would be ideal, even if he wasn't my best CB in that save. His Anticipation is low, but he can jump, is good enough on the ball not to fuck up, has good enough mentals not to fuck up (Composure, Decisions, Concentration), and can intercept balls without having to tackle and fall to the ground (somewhat weak Anticipation but good Positioning, Acc/Pace).
Actually it's more important that they don't mentally fuck up rather than being able to play a perfect pass. 20 Passing and Vision are pointless with 1 Composure and Decisions. At least with the other way around you could still ask them to play Short Simple Passes (it's a PPM) if your DLP(D) Comes Deep To Get Ball (or/and if you Play Out Of Defence).
You can get away with very passable CBs technically speaking if their mentals are nice, they can jump and run fast. Which is globally why you need quite specific players to pull of a 3-4-3 Diamond. Which is why Cruyff relied extensively on the Masia since the kids are used to play it and were developed around it. That's also one of the reasons why I prefer buying young players to train them properly (especially since the AI isn't as good as a human player at developing youngsters).

>>77969256
>I personally always use at least Flexible if not Fluid or Very Fluid
Can you clarify one thing regarding for me, please? How much do attributes actually matter, when it comes to playing Fluid or Very Fluid shapes?
I read somewhere that Fluid or Very Fluid shapes are generally meant to be played with good teams - teams that are capable of playing Total Football. This is why I'm always kind of torn between wanting to play a Very Fluid shape for the reason that you explained and managing a lower-league side with poor mental attributes, that I really don't trust to be able to switch positions and fill in for each other.
I usually take my team's Teamwork and Flair into consideration when it comes to this. Do you do the same, or is Team Shape really as simple as explained in Ozil's guide and I shouldn't care about my team's attributes too much when picking it?
I understand that Fluid and Very Fluid shapes give players more creative freedom, but at least you can sort of control that with the Be More Disciplined and Be More Expressive shouts.
>>77971417
regarding Team Shape*
>>77971256
>Surely we can do better than Gareth bloody Southgate.

>>77971474
Exactly, there simply aren't enough good English managers who would want to ruin their careers. If I'm Eddie Howe or even Garry Monk, why would I want to become England manager? I'm sure there are loads of continental managers that would love the chance to up their reputation by being England manager.
>>77971474
>I still don't understand why you didn't go for a foreigner.
Because there was an awful, awful meme in this country that Capello and Sven failed as England managers because they "didn't understand the English way" completely ignoring the fact that they performed perfectly well and achieved some of the best resutls we've had in the past 25 years with one of the worst squads we've had in the past 25 years.

>>77972035
ok..
If I regularly switch mentalities, and from having full backs to wing backs, will both formations slowly train? If that's all I'm changing, will it stunt my growth too much?
I have absolutely no idea why Championship Sheffield Wednesday want to sign my back-up goalie who wasn't good enough to play for me in the Conference, and they're paying £15k for him as well.

It's very relative to the strength of your team compared to the league you're in. Even if your players are poo (which they absolutely are in Thai D3), if the average player you'll face is even worse, then it's not much of an issue to play Very Fluid. If the opposition is about as good or stronger then yes, you could consider something else.
That said, if your 4-4-fucking-2 works with Structured, no need to throw it away.
>>77971539
You guys didn't know what the fuck an Anchor Man was before Makelele happened while the role was ubiquitous in Spain (from which he came from), and some people were hell bent on 3 at the back not working in England until Conte. I think there's a good reason most top clubs trust foreign managers, and that's another reason I don't enjoy watching the EPLEL: you guys (well, in general) are tactically backwards. The players are really, really good but they're tactically shit. I don't get why that is honestly.

>>77975770
Depends how rich you are, but that's reasonable. I'd throw some incentives to lower the price in case he turns out to be shit.
>>77975761
I'm aware, but they also lost to Georgia yesterday
>>77975770
When its possible to get them that low, I always offer them half of the requested total and the rest in faraway conditions (20 int apps, 50 goals, etc). Just to avoid the 30% of next profit clause.

What's this supposed to mean? The guy's been playing for 3 or 4 years almost every match, has never had a problem with pressure and is in great form.
>>77977772
he's having a mental breakdown
>>77977772
It just means that he has a below average Pressure hidden attribute. No, FM barely has any other way to tell you that besides players being nervous for no reason during team talks.
>>77977797
Considering downloading Genie Scout purely to check this. My entire team kick off every game "looking nervous/anxious". I'd be surprised if a single one of them have higher than 6.
>>77977871
>considering downloading genie scout
as if you don't already have it open at all times
>>77977871
That's probably because you don't blast their ears off often enough.
>>77977797
>>77977871
I've had one other player that had something like this, it was the last match of the league and if we won we would've been champions (we choked). He couldn't handle the pressure of being title contenders.
>>77977899
How dare you. I resent that accusation.
>>77977909
Wouldn't that increase nerves? I don't know how it works. I assumed that players who can't handle pressure respond better to "no pressure!"
Do any of you use those crap unoffical transferwindow updates when starting a new save because of autism not being able to handle Nerman and co at their old clubs?
>>77977979
They always respond better to violent frantic shouting.
>>77977979
Nah, just yell. If it's shit, yell. If they peformed below par, yell. If their second half is worse than the first one, go for the Jekyll and Hyde talk. If they had a good performance but aren't consistent, go for the talk on why they can't play like that often enough. Team talks are contextual, so blast them off every time there's a reason to do it.

>>77976713
Is he from Paraguay?
Chilavert regen!
>>77978592
He's Brazillian, which is good enough.
Can I see changes to my transfer budget somehow? I had 30 million with 80k wages. I signed a 16 million player on 80k and suddenly I'm well over my wage budget with zero transfer budget left.
>>77978667
How much were your sign on and agent payments?
>>77978698
Nothing significant. I don't think it was even that deal, but if it was that and not the second I was trying to get done, then it would have been no more than 4 million. As it stands, I've got one player in and that's just not enough. I've had a bad start to the season and look like I'm going to scrape a mid table finish. Now if I'm to get a youngster in then I'll need to let an experienced player go and I can't even think about the amc I wanted.
>>77978738
Maybe the board has cut your funds based on how they think the season is going?
No sudden bonuses paid to players?
Player instalments? (they take a lump sum from your budget each year)
>>77978738
Just rebalance your transfer budget with your wages budget and see what's actually left.

by that logic a 5-2-0-3 with three false 9s is strikerless
>>77985250
exactly
>>77985207
how does your midfield oper8 with a bwm and a bbm? wouldn't basically no one be home in the midfield becuae theyre hounding people and running around a lot?
>>77985360
that's essentially how the tactic works
in my own end I have 7 people playing defence and attacking the ball and in their end I've got 5 on attack and wingbacks looking to corral the ball
>>77985360
Closing down more often combined with the high defensive line and offside trap makes all three BPDs very aggressive at pressing at winning the ball back, and the CWBs pick off passes to the wings. Both midfielders end up dropping back into the defensive line when they go after the ball, so you end up with effectively 7 people playing a high tempo aggressive pressing game, and the minute the ball is won its a very quick counter as both CWBs and both midfielders join the SS-Treq-SS setup.
the only issues are too many cards and that my finishing lets me down sometimes
About to play my first cup final of this save, lads. Post your big game soundtrack
>>77985495
do you ever get beaten by long balls over the top with the high pressing?
and yeh i played a strikerless tactic and would get like 23 shots on target each game and only win 2-0. i never figured out how to improve the finishing ratio.
>>77985500
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ9vkt7BHYI
>>77985533
almost every single goal I concede is a long ball over the top, a setpiece, or a cross from the wing very close to the goal line from wide
>>77985533
my finishing is improving slowly but surely as I train better SSs and Treqs and develop my wonderkid.
I'm still competing in europe as is and im predicitng a CL win in the next 3 seasons
>>77985539
Its the worst shit I've ever heard, but it seems to be working. We may not actually choke against a 10-man 2nd division side after all.

How do you guys go about "developing" a tactic? I have a tactic that almost works, and I'm curious on how to refine it. I'm interested in how yall do it.
so im trying to sign some players that will be out of contract in 5 months but it wont let me offer them a contract. said players are also based in england.
am i missing something? my club isnt under a transfer embargo. sorry if its a stupid question, im kind of new to the game.
>>77986578
The rule is idfferent for some countries including England. Can't remember how it works there, but I think they need to have max 1 month in their contract until you can approach them.
>>77986169

What a nice result.
In general this has been going pretty well,and the key player has been injured from the start,so that could still improve.
Jesus,i almost feel bad about this one.
Almost.
>4 goals

I shouldn't feel bad if I save scum until I win right?
>>77987625
Savescumming due to techincal issues is fair.
>>77987625
I've never save scummed before. How RNG is 17? Can you win one game 3-0, reload and then lose 0-3?
>>77987679
Couldn't tell you, but for what its worth, I won the game last night 4-3 and just won it 1-0. Frustratingly however the third place team drew last night and won today, meaning they are two points in front.
What a way to come back after a 3 month injury.
And in this first game for me he scores the winning goal against West Ham,not bad.
>>77986578
>>77986761
ugh. so clubs from different countries are able to offer them contracts with 5 months left on his current deal, but i still cant.
i guess you might be right.
anyone that's doing an england save care to chime in?
Will it slip?
I just found two players with the same name in the same team.
Regens for Nantes U19's. Their bdays are only a month apart
can we do it lads?
>>77986109
Good luck to you too, let me know how it goes.
Don't forget PIs
>>77986169
Lots and lots of spreadsheet analysis. Figure out what you want to achieve w/ your tactic, wht kind of football you want to play, and then refine PIs and roles until you're doing it
>>77988585
Almost did.
>>77987504
Perhaps 10 to 20K/€ or something? I don't remember. Since you're not buying already accomplished players and focusing on youngsters, they're not that expensive.
>>77986169
>>77986781
Creating a tactic isn't too hard when you start to get a grip on all the underhanded stuff that's poorly explained in FM. Like how Target Men and Playmakers keep attracting the ball, how Limited/Defensive players keep hoofing it for no reason, that sort of stuff that's poorly explained in FM because SI doesn't want to. Even if your assistant gives you better e-mails about it than before (in FM17)... while still failing to be able to explain why they advise you that.
>>77987504
>>77989272
I mean when I win my first CL it should be around there. Right now after 4 CLs and being arguably the best club in the world, it's around 80K per week. Which is still lower than clubs in bigger leagues.
>>77986169
Keep checking the leagues Team Detailed page. See how well you're doing in comparison to other teams and try to find things that you can improve.
Team Report is your friend as well, don't forget to check it every now and then.
>Tactics -> Analysis -> Goals -> Goal Assists / Assist Locations
This one can be quite useful as well. See which part of the pitch / assist type is your weakest link and adjust the tactics or players accordingly.
HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG
>>77989311
>Right now after 4 CLs and being arguably the best club in the world, it's around 80K per week. Which is still lower than clubs in bigger leagues
This is retarded and an argument that FM is easy mode/extremely unrealistic. To think that you can sustain a CL winning team in Kranj, a 30 something thousand town in Slovenia, best known for it's comfy mass graves and sausages, is dunno... You'd have most of your good young players leave for Olimpija/Maribor/Italy for peanuts before you developed them
>>77989660
>This is retarded and an argument that FM is easy mode/extremely unrealistic
It absolutely is.
>You'd have most of your good young players leave for Olimpija/Maribor/Italy for peanuts before you developed them
That's another reason FM is unrealistic: you can actually keep your players by very underhanded ways.
There's absolutely no denying you, as a human player, have much, much more control and awareness than the AI. Even if the Barca scouts seem to find every single good Argie fresh out of the intake.
>>77989703
>>77989660
To add on that, I think it's a SI staff member (I don't recall exactly where on the forum but it's really there) who said on the forum that the AI isn't unrealistically poor at developing youngsters. However, the human managers are much, much better at it than they would be IRL. As human we are better at recognizing good youngsters, we know much better who should tutor them, how to train them, where to play them, who to loan them to (or if we should loan them at all)... among other things. For example, we pretty much all know that a player who is 23/24 years old, has one or two star ability and four stars potential is a player we should not be buying because they won't reach their potential.
Meanwhile, the AI keeps falling for all the Nicklas Bendtners and Mario Ballotellis of the world: purchasing high potential players with absolutely garbage ability/attribute spread/personalities but extremely high potential. We all know better, which is why it's easier for us to create and sustain success. The AI also has pic related tier tactics (it's Ancelotti FWIW) which does not help.
>>77989833

The fact that you can "cheat" by scouting intakes aside, I've talked to a guy who works with young players (as an agent/scout) and he told me that the Italians asked him to inform them only of players born in '00 and younger (this was last year). It's hard for any club (a few "big" ones aside) in countries like Slovenia, Croatia etc to keep their quality academy players. Even if they do, the player will get poached after a few good matches for the first team
>>77989833
>we are better at recognizing good youngsters, we know much better who should tutor them, how to train them, where to play them, who to loan them to (or if we should loan them at all)
It's because it's all numbers for us, and we're able to perform something you'd need a small army of people to achieve irl
For example, you've got a youngster A, who has all the attributes (you've got every attribute down to a number on a 1-20 scale) needed to become a good player in his role, but you think he could be even better working with your 33yo player. You pair them up and get those qt green arrows popping all over the place. Now, in real life, it doesn't go like that - your young player may develop a liking for Instagram sluts or the local nightlife, his head could be filled with promises of a transfer to England or Germany, he could crumble under pressure if you throw him in the first team just like that. Your experienced player may lose motivation and start going out, getting banned for drink driving, etc. Also, that 1-20 scale irl isn't like the one in the game - your 2nd league coaches' 15 is 10 in the first league, 5 abroad; it isn't standardised, it's relative based on the coaches' knowledge, your other players, and the standard of the league. This can't be properly implemented in FM

So we do agree: we have it really easy in FM. I'll read the article, thanks. Which is also why it kinda surprised me that Luka Zahovic, who went to sc Heerenveen, accepted to come back to Maribor.
>This can't be properly implemented in FM
That's for sure. Dynamic personality changes would completely fuck up FM, even though Miles will argue strongly that a player becoming a shitstain for no foreseen reason is represented in FM. Y'know, like he argued that crosses were fine in FM16. Or like the mods on the forum argued that the wide midfielders placement in FM17 was realistic.
>>77990523
>Which is also why it kinda surprised me that Luka Zahovic, who went to sc Heerenveen, accepted to come back to Maribor.
Well to be honest he was sent there by his father and returned back since he didn't play a game and the locker room atmosphere in Maribor "cooled down".
>>77990717
>the locker room atmosphere in Maribor "cooled down"
Finishing second to Olimpija really stung hun?
Has anyone had success with super attacking old school play, like a 2-3-5?
>>77990523
>hich is also why it kinda surprised me that Luka Zahovic, who went to sc Heerenveen, accepted to come back to Maribor
It isn't surprising. He didn't make an impact abroad and his dad (Zlatko Zahovič) is the sports director there. He's overrated either way (in my opinion) and his rise to "stardom" is a product of nepotism
>even though Miles will argue strongly that a player becoming a shitstain for no foreseen reason is represented in FM
Yeah, sure lel. There's no way to implement that shit in FM.
Another thing - the fans have literally no influence on their respective football clubs in the game. In real life, fans in e.g. South and South-East Europe have way more influence on the clubs. In Croatia, Hajduk ultras dug 11 graves on the pitch, Dinamo ultras are at war with the Dinamo sports director for over a decade now. In Serbia, ultras smashed players' cars and beat them. In Italy, Lazio owner is at odds with the fans and he will lose the war sooner or later, Hellas fans hanged an effigy of a black player Verona wanted to buy back in the day etc etc
>>77990843
yeah I won every game in every competition
>>77990797
Supposedly according to some Maribor players the locker room was out of control that season and no one got a long very well and Luka was a snitch going behing their backs and snitching to his father so no one wanted to play with him anymore, no one would pass him the ball nor talk with him, it was quite hilarious for non Maribor supporters.
>>77990523
Zlatko Zahovic, Luka's father, is a DoF at Maribor. Obviously he'd rather play at home than sit on bench in Heerenveen.
>>77990874
>Another thing - the fans have literally no influence on their respective football clubs in the game

And it was true: the fans hater him... for doing his knee in for ten months. Then he signed on a free at the end of loan and club contract in Belgium and basically, I got fucked inside-out.

Inter midfielder Brozović can't string two sentences. He's that retarded
>>77991051
How hard can great football players carry compared to NBA superstars?
A GOAT level talent like Michael Jordan can carry pretty much every team to or near the top.
How much can a Ronaldo or Messi do in football?
If one of them joined ADO Den Haag right before season start, could they be instant top spot competitors?
What if both of them joined the same bottom barrel Eredivisie team?
Nothing like a goalkeeper own goal against a lower league club to end a win streak
GOAT
>>77992536
nowhere near as hard, basketball is a 5 on 5 game and is far less team based. The truly great basketball teams (90s bulls, current GSW) are team efforts, but even in the modern NBA one player teams (Rockets, Thunder, Cavs) compete from one star carrying them
Football is 11 players and is much more tactical. Messi and Ronaldo can't make the keeper and defence better
>>77992536
>Messi
Messi's been carrying Farça for a while, as well as Neymar did in CL last year when Messi was walking.
Does the latest pirated version of FM17 work? I'd like to play it a bit (since I don't have to study atm), but don't see the point in buying it when 18 will be out in 2 months time
>>77992998
It's a proper crack unlike FM16.

Is it possible to transfer the .fm save file from my windows PC to my linux laptop?
I put the file in the "Games" folder but the game doesnt see it,
Just joined Sheffield who in my save have just been relegated from the Championship.
Most of my best players want to leave so I just figured fuck it I'll sell them, but I can't get them to leave for their value for the life of me.
Should I wait until it gets deep into the transfer window before thinking of offloading them, will that make clubs bid higher? Or should I just sell them for below their value?
>>77993476
Clubs are unlikely to bid between the windows. They also won't offer for value if they know you want to offload them. If you just joined and locked the budget for the first window, clubs cannot really buy your players even for free. Try to loan them for a fee, or at least have the clubs paying for their wages.
I love penalty kicks.
>>77993526
I've joined like right at the start of June so the window is literally just about to start but clubs are still doing business.
Not like I'm midseason, clubs just aren't bidding for my players and when they do it's way below value.
>>77993824
They don't think your players are worth it. To confirm it, try offering them like pic related: unspecified sum, not on the list and no changes in status (bottom left).
Second attempt at CL knockouts... I've got Benfica.

I read that to clear cloud data you delete everything in Steamapps so I did that. I've reinstalled the game, and it still isn't gone. My game has so many bugs it's insane. How do I start fresh?

Their keeper was also forced to retire after severing his thumb. Derry's been really unfortunate lately.

>>77996332
>This is the third tragedy to strike Derry over the past 12 months. The striker Mark Farren died of a brain tumour at the age of 33 and another player, Josh Daniels, lost his mother, sister, brother-in-law and two nephews after their car skidded along a pier in Buncrana and plunged into Lough Swilly.
gosh
>>77996600
>>77997257
Jesus. I never had Farren since this is FM15, but Josh Daniels is great, poor lad. Is the club haunted or something?
And one of my best players retired at 28 playing for Limerick in real life, though that's hardly a tragedy.
How to play 442 against 433 or similar?

>>77992536
They can't, really. They can carry a good side to the top or close (Suarez at Liverpool), or a mediocre side to EL or CL (Cavani at Napoli). They can save a shit side from relegation (Recoba at Venezia)
But ultimately, it doesn't make much difference. Same is true of managers, except in FM.
>>78001493
What about Maradona at Napoli?
>>78001597
That Napoli side wasn't as bad as people make out. But still, Maradona was just a freak of nature. I doubt the FM engine is even capable of simulating a player like him.

So I have a youngster that rejects every fucking loan I get to him or if send him to my affiliates, what do I do with him? sell his ass?
Cheeky
>>78003178
Let him rot in your reserves/youth team until he complains about first team action then offer him to clubs on loan.
new thread when
>>78003178
Do you want him or not? Is he going to be good? If yes, keep him in the reserves/u19s if you can or keep him in the team and give him some minutes and wait until the next window, luckily he'll learn that he won't have much playing time in the team.
If he isn't going to be good enough for your team go finish his contract.
>>78003280

>>78003299
He is already in the u19s,pick related is the player in question, honestly he doesn't look like he will be a first team choice for me, I just wanted to develop him and then sell him for a nice profit,but I can barely give him minutes in the first team because I have like other 3 young players at the same position that are better already look to be future world class player.
That's why I wanted to loan him but this fucker keeps rejecting
>>78003627
woops forgot pic

Send him to the reserves until he begs you to loan him out or until his contract runs out.
