One of these teams could win a Europa League ticket

Lierse, Union and Roeselare are currently in the 2nd division. No Antwerp as they became the 2nd division champions by beating Roeselare. All teams start with 0 points, and play eachother 5 times home and away. Winner of each group plays eachother, winner of that game then plays the 4th (or 5th?) team of the Playoff I for the final Europa League ticket

Really? What about the fact that Genk (who beat Gent 2-5 in Europe only a few days ago) and Moeskroen essentially start with the same amount of points on their quest to Europe, making their season's performance essentially pointless?

Thoughts on Schteve leaving mate?

>>74649476
Think it's a little too late in the season to let an incoming manager (let it be rowett this time) make any real impact.

The one thing I'm getting more frustrated over is that managers just aren't being given any time, we'll have 6 people taking charge in just 2 seasons.

>>74650650
Yeah I have a lot of first team players on back-up/rotation status because they ask much less if they accept that status. Of course this works more often if your club has good reputation.

The downside is that other clubs will keep making 50%-value bids on your back-up players almost every day.

Forster. A keeper's most important attributes are communication, command of area and aerial ability, so you don't concede shitloads from corners and free kicks. All other attributes are secondary

Increases foul and injury likelihood but not drastically

I play with hard tackling and injured maybe 5 opposition players all of last season. You can't reliably use it to rough someone up

You will notice an increased foul count though

>>74661605
reminder that it doesn't necessarily increase foul count, but it will increase your cards/foul.

>>74661605
But they also play worse when injured so you're more likely to win the ball by tackling hard and closing down, right?

>>74666557
Right now IWB's are incredibly strong because the wingers mark wide all the time and they run in the gaps

Mine tended to form like a passing square with the two CMs and they'd have very similar average positions

>>74666583
>>74666529
They've been doing that since 17.2.1. And Rashidi is a master at saying things that are "technically true" but not realistic. Like telling players to block passing lanes in FM for example.

Good point. PSG were interested too in the summer, but then I fear I'll never win the CL if he goes there. Even if he scores 0 goals a season he's too potentially damaging to allow to leave

>>74669026
SI, took over a singapore team and signed exactly one player.

There's a 25 player squad limit and we're under it but there's only 25 numbers and several are already used for youth team/reserves players.

Clear numbers leaves 13 shirt numbers taken but if I use an editor to allow number changes at anytime I can wipe it back to 0 taken.

Nothing in the league rules on numbers.

full match is actually super comfy

in all seriousness, our FA is run and planned by dutch people. They have a big influence on how we run. Our youth teams will exclusively play dutch style 4-3-3 and some people who aren't a fan refer to the "dutch mafia" that runs aussie football.

>>74671003
until they turn 18 and play against some 30yo semi pro who kicks the shit out of them playing 44-2 hoofball that they've never seen before and dont know how to defend.

its also a rule that in youth football, the gk has to role it out to the centre backs, so the strikers end up closing down the cb on goal kicks like in FIFA games, so they either have to hoof it or lose the ball for an easy goal. but we have to do it because the dutch mafia says we need to

>>74672209
The state of the american healthcare system never ceases to amaze me

>>74672188
I generally sign them all and put the worst ones in the Reserves. Otherwise, your Reserves manager will usually pick U19s to fill out for Reserves matches. In certain cases, it means that your most promising youngsters will play 3 matches in 4 days (U19s league, U19s Cup, UEFA Youth League and Reserves), get ruined physically and injured. So I force the Reserves manager to use the shitters instead of destroying the good youth, who remain in the U19s squad until they're old enough to play for the main squad or be loaned in good clubs (or released eventually).

It also means that while my U19s are first in the league or every close, my Reserves are dead last or very close.

>>74672303
That's because I did the db I'm playing in myself. Obviously I didn't forget about such things. Actually it's pretty hard to forget because the option isn't even in Advanced Settings. What I had to consider was the day those matches take course, because I want the Reserves to play after the Main Squad every single time to make sure my main squad players in need of match fitness will be able to play before the next first team matches. Main squad, depending of TV and/or European matches, can play either on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. Reserves squad as a result always play on Mondays. The U19s always play on Sundays.

Also, I did notice I had to have the Reserves and U19s league finish before the main leagues or else your players wouldn't go on end of season holidays until the very last Reserves/U19s match. It's never more than a couple of days, but it's infuriating.

>>74672337
It did do something, it's just that the AI isn't always very smart about it. I do notice that when the Reserves/U19s leagues are done that the AI do schedule a couple of friendlies, especially if you're playing the final of the national cup or CL.

you're right, they'll schedule pre-season friendlies like they would for the senior team. I guess I shouldn't expect any more than that, it's probably all the option is meant for, it's just annoying since all the subs you can use in senior friendlies mean that's the ONE time of the year you really could go without reserve team fixtures

As for my wardrove malfunction, i was digging through my underwear drawer for some clean boxers, and found the last pair was one so mangled it had a hole big enough to birth through. But i didnt have time to do laundry so i just went off to work.

During the walk to work the boxer shorts got pushed up and my junk sort of fell through the hole, I came to work sat down next to a chick and all that then went to the bathroom where I noticed my fly was down and my dick was visible from some angles. I dont think anyone noticed, but it was certainly not the proudest moment of my life ill tell you that.
