I try to imagine it's 4-4-2 because there's no excuse for thinking Verratti and De Rossi can hold the midfield on their own (Lorenzinho PBUH and Candreva can't defend)

>tontolelvo came on
He shouldn't even be in the team

I didn't even get in to EL qualifying until 2020, let alone lose in it.

>>78082643
Seems you had it rough.

>>78082648
I had board restrictions that meant even as a semi pro club, I couldn't offer my players wages, so I had to have everyone on a £0/w amateur contract until I had enough bank to go professional. It made competing with the big teams near impossible. I had to sign backup teenagers from the big clubs and develop them myself with just gametime because my facilities were shit until they were good enough to match them.

>>78082547
But all that CL money must mean you're far ahead of everyone else now, right? Invest in Africans

The away support of the big clubs in Uruguay are so immense (also probably very easy to travel to) that all my home games against them are more like away games.

>>78082691
Yes, now I have financial domination and am superior to the rest of the league. However Malta has a limit of 7 foreigners, and a requirement for 11 homegrown players in the match squad. Makes things that little bit more challenging.

Which is the reason why the Enganche role makes me absurdly mad in FM. They don't dribble at all. Recoba may have terrible work ethic and Riquelme may be the slowest footballer that's not a keeper or Mertesacker, they both knew how to dribble and get their way out of trouble. I used to hate the AP(A) role in FM15 (since RPM is simply superior in every way and shape), but in FM 17 it does what an Enganche is supposed to do way better than EGs themselves in FM17; and that, even if your AMC is cripplingly slow.

>SI totally missing the idea behind a role
who could have seen this coming

>>78083809
Honestly it would've been nice if it didn't have hard-coded "Dribble Less" while preventing you from asking them to "Dribble More". I don't remember if you can ask them to "Hold Position". That way you'd get a slightly more aggressive and less mobile AP(A), that's more available as a goal threat while not being a liability like a Treq defensively even if it's not their forte. Like an AM(A) but with the playmaker bias, a bias which in my 3-4-3 Diamond prevents the >wongas from doing really stupid shit with the ball.

Some may say that a AP(S) would be similar, but not really as they keep dropping back and believing they're DLP(D), and they also have much lower mentality which makes them really passive offensively.

>>78083798
>Which is the reason why the Enganche role makes me absurdly mad in FM. They don't dribble at all.
This is specifically why I use two in my 4-1-4-1 with inside forwards and a false 9.

Very few. FM obviously has some things that need improvement so a negative review can be considered fair but so very many of them are morons who are just bad at FM which is probably part of what makes SI think they are doing such a great job (not that I hate SI too much, I think they get a little too much stick here and on the whole do at least an ok job) when they get a bunch of positive reviews from idiots who see no fault or have only played for 1 hour and consider it flawless while most of the negative reviews are written off because they fall under the categories of angry chinks and morons thinking having 4 people injured is a bug.

>>78084198
I don't really hate SI either because I've played like 3000 hours of these dumb games over the years and I appreciate that they've provided me this much entertainment or whatever but I I see these reviews that are like "400 hours on record, negative" that read "I KEEP LOSING AS CHELSEA AND I CANT SIGN ANY OF THE FMSCOUT WONDERKIDS AND TWO OF MY PLAYERS GOT INJURED IN ONE MATCH, DO NOT PLAY"

dont bother. the problem with video games in general is that the majority of consumers are underage nerds (nerd is explicitly used as a pejorative here). This means that upwards of 99% of games are garbage and pretty much everything relating to the video game industry or video game ""culture"", including reviews (esp. user reviews) is vomit-inducing. Which is a shame, I think games are actually an interesting medium (interactivity etc.) but the demand for literal shit is too large to allow good stuff to settle in. A bit like the market for paintings that is right now flooded with money of the nouveau riche who don't have a clue about art but think that you should pay millions for a jackson pollock """painting"""".

sorry for the rant.

I have no idea who Felix is and I had this opinion for a pretty long time. I don't hate on expressionism or what ppl like to call 'modern art' btw, I think there are v good expressionists (kandinsky, for instance).

The clubs do sign the youth players when they're good enough, but since MLS has very small max squad size they just end up rotting in the academy for a long and can be signed for free by basically anyone since the clubs they play for are amateur and have very low rep.
