They lost last week. That's ok, it was only the 2nd league loss and Ajax also lost points. But they kinda self destructed.

- Elia (winger) was playing with injections and now misses next match for sure
- Vilhena (midfielder) threw an elbow, probably misses 3 matches including Ajax away.

So it's not allowed to be easy, lel.

And they kept the same team as last year except for a new striker, while Ajax was adapting to a new coach and players, and at PSV the key players are in terrible form.

Legit question, did Donnarumma get a -10 in his hidden stats?

For those who don't know, the quality of a player goes from 0 to 200, but for young players their quality is rated from -1 to -10, -10 being future godlike players, -9 likely to stars, -8 good backups for most top league teams, -7 good for the second league etc.

>>74618038
Who can stop us? We have a good chance of winning the treble next year

>>74618024
The Bosman ruling is only a good thing for British players, the FA will simply not scrap it.

>>74618010
This is absolutely wrong. Might be the case for Donnarumma if they wanted to give him a fixed PA stat, but it's not generally true. A shitloads of players (almost all of them) have negative PA values if they're young.

>>74618051
>>74618027
At the start of each save, a PA is generated for all the players with negative PA. Which means that a -7 PA player (up to 140) can become better than a -8 one (130 to 160) for example. Obviously development, facilities, playing time all have a factor and you can end up with a player with less PA having a better career than a potentially more promising one.

>>74618080
Also, stat distributions. PA means almost nothing sometimes - you literally can't tell which player will be better from the PA level, even if theyre ~20 points apart. I mean sure, the one with more points is more likely to be the better one, but depending on the stat distribution, that's not always true.

>>74618124
There's also the point where their respective PA is so high that it doesn't matter anymore unless you really, really want the next Messi. A 160+ player will be a starter almost anywhere in the world except if you have a CR7/Messi tier player.

>>74618080
Hmm that changed a lot then.

It used to be that they keep the negative PA until they are 21, then it would change to a definitive number.

And yeah I'm aware playing time, training etc are actually major determinants. Kinda why I saw most -9 gks never develop to their potential, because none of them ever got enough play time in their youth years.

>>74618232
yeah, that's true, because those players simply have high attributes in everything. A player with 150+ CPA I'd say can be useful for any CL team. But still, even a 130 CPA player can easily start in a CL-winning team with perfect stat distribution.

>>74618247
Are you sure? IIRC it was always the case that the PA value was determined at the start of the save.

>>74618260
Yeah but I'm talking about 6-7 years ago games at least. Not sure which is the one I played last.

>>74618065
Really? Any time I use the editor it never shows minuses.

>but Juve beat United 1-0 in CL final

Weird save, first time in two versions where Wenger hasn't immediately retired

All of the top 6 in the prem still have their first manager

>>74619041
Oh and West Brom and Stoke won the FA Cup

Every good player in the lower leagues of England is a bwm. How do I effectively use them? I normally play cm-s and a box to box, but wang to play a 451 and 42(dm)3(cm)1 this season.

>>74619145
ages ago when dinosaurs walked the earth and we still had sliders, I used to run a 4-1-3-1-1 (narrow) in england, I guess it would be sort of similar
I found that if your outside two CMs (mine were BWMs) were fast/hardworking and had high stamina, they could be deadly on counterattacks
I can't remember which versions allow you to tell CMs to "run wide with ball," I think mike might have removed that option, but that helped as well. they'd be like wingers that collapsed into the centre of the field when you lost the ball

>>74619145
Do they have both Aggression and Bravery? If not, they're not BWM. If they don't have Bravery, they're not fit for any defensive/ball retrieving role either. Train them to something else.

>>74619262
>>74619228
There are scores to choose from. I signed one before I left the house who had 11-14 vision, passing, aggression, team work and other major stats but he is an absolute slug. I think it was 7 acc and 11 pace.

I'm currently in the national league about to start my second season in it, so I'm unlikejy to retain and really don't have the facilities to train players.

>>74619335
>>74619145
Bravery is overrated, don't worry.

>>74619145
BWM is a hatchet man, you'll only need one of them. Basically his job is to get booked within 5 minutes of the start and to win the ball at all cost

If you have plenty of them you'll have to suck it up and play them as CMs and train their passing or B2B if they have a good work rate

He can choose to pronounce his name whatever way he wants. He's an American, he has no ties to the slav culture, and he feels American. Why wouldn't he pronounce his name the way Americans do? You realize that a lot of surnames come from different cultures but just get adjusted to new countries and languages?

It's embarassing when Americans do the muh heritage thing, but it's three times as bad when fucking yuropoors do it. Stop.

Got this lad on a free, his contract was expiring. Should earn me a decent amount of money.

Btw has anyone ever tried ultra defensive/offensive tactics?

Eg, 4-6-0

4 defenders, 4 midfielders in line, 1 defensive midfielder and 1 offensive midfielder.

Slow and defensive approach, focused on counter attacks.
Used in the Premier League when using a low tier team, playing outside against top (Chelsea, Citeh, etc), with great results.

I'd say 40% victories by 0-1, then 30% draws, 30% losses.

Yeah, was quite surprised to get him on a free. Anyway, I got quite a few decent midfielders already, so not sure if he'll get a spot right away. Will probably loan him out for a season or two, let him earn me some money and then see how he develops.

Did you add the Brazil league to the list of the playable countries?

Because it makes a huge difference.

It does matter, just much less for Brazil because it's too fucking big, and not in 2023 where they should still have most of their decent real players.
