>>
>>78006605
Because somehow the media sold the public on the idea that foreign managers can't manage England and Sven and Fabio were shit and so we need need good, honest English managers even though there are almost no good English managers. And FA are either too incompetent to realise any different or don't have the balls to defy the public/media so they settle for mediocrity.
>>
>>78006605
I rate Capello, whiners like John Terry throwing a tantrum like a cunt thinking he was on holiday and trying to mutiny, other senior twats like Rooney doing the same.
Honestly I'd rather send the U21 squads to major tournaments, lots of hungry players looking to establish themselves, a lot less egos and primadonnas to dance around.

Capello sided with Terry, m8. He chose to keep him as captain, the FA overruled him and took the armband off him, Capello quit as a result.

>>78006714
Even then, though. They choose the worst possible English managers. Redknapp is the obvious one, but there were others they could have chosen as well. Pardew is a fucking joke, yet even he would've been a better choice than both Hodgson and Southgate. Its so completely fucked I don't know how it could be fixed.

No but Redknapp is so overrated its ridiculous.
He just throws money at every problem at clubs, its the only reason he does well, grossly overpaying to get better players. That obviously can't work at international level.

don't a treq (does things with ball at feet) and a TM (everyone hoofs it to him, probably can't do much with ball at feet if game considers him a TM) clash with each other?

>>

thry probably hate you too, m'meme

>>78009059
i only had one natural winger as well, I had no open spots and had to fire an old dude and put a young shitter in the youth team to free up space for a CB backup and a second striker who could play at a decent level.

The third striker is a prospect who could be good if I give him gametime.

Probably does actually, I wanted the treq to drift around, but I could probably just make him a TM with roams from positions since theyre both natural TMs

Damn right he did! I mean..it hurts me to watch him play since he is so old and barely moves but god damn he tries. I am so happy he scored today. He was so good for Inter... honestly during his whole Inter career I'd say he was GOAT Macedonian player of all time but I never saw Pancev playing in my life so I can't say for sure

>>78007961
Even as Macedonian I am not really sure... he is in Cagliari or Genoa... but he barely plays there.
>>
>>78007895

Why did you sold him and then after 1 season you bought him for double the money? Who does this? Did this ever happen in real life? I think it's too dumb even for FM but..you do you...especially if his value rose to 60m+ and you had some sort of a buyback clause...in that case smart but otherwise...
>>
>>78012741

>>
>>78012793

Yeah, I agree. He became really popular player there and for a reason, he was one of the best offensive players in Italy during those days. But in Inter he became champion and maybe he didn't score too many goals but he really helped the team and played well tactically.
Also I totally forgot about his time and Lazio kek.
P.S. Damn....this thread turned into a spam by me...sorry fellas

It can happen. That said, unless your player has a bad case of >Torres, the biggest difference between a striker that scores a lot and a striker that doesn't is that strikers that score a lot tend to create a lot more chances. The Messis and Ronaldos of the world aren't that much more clinical, they "just" get a lot, LOT more chances. They still bury around one out of five chances.

You can also just be unlucky, you have to watch a lot more matches.

If you're playing some form of Diamond, you need a holding DM/Central CM and width from your FBs/WBs/Wingers. I said it to other people, a 4-4-2 Diamond isn't made to Drop Deeper because it's too easily exploited by overlapping wing players. It's a tactic you use when your players are generally better than the ones you'll meet so you can dominate them in the midfield with good pressing and technique. Be More Expressive would make sense only if your players are good enough, but when they're good enough they don't need to be told to be more expressive. It's the kind of TI you use against a team that's sitting back so you try to make something happen by throwing shit on the wall.

WB(D) to CWB(S) or WB(A) to have options on the wings. DM(S) to DLP(D) or A(D) or DM(D) to protect the defensive line. CM(D) to CM(S). T(A) could be replaced by EG(A), but EGs are so static in FM17. I'd watch the Treq to see what he's doing during matches and see if he isn't a liability. "Drop Deeper" goes into the trash. With Retain Possession, it's not necessary to have Shorter Passing on as well unless you're really aiming for 70+ possession ot protect yourself from counters.
>>
>>78014844
Thank you for this information man. As for the T vs EG, I actually think an EG would serve me better, to hold the ball up higher up the pitch and slip balls through the half spaces to the SSs. Thanks for noticing Shorter Passing was still on, I think that definitely messed with my teams ability. All this will help me a lot, merci beaucoup.
>>
>>78014951
You could use AP(A) of your player is somewhat good with the ball in his feet since the role isn't as static a EG (who do not dribble AT ALL). Be careful as the mentality of AP(A) is quite high while not being as much as a defensive liability as EG or Treqs.

>call someone an illiterate nigger in /nba/ thread

This is actually very interesting. Can anyone who posts on 4chan be illiterate? Or, more generally, can a writer or an author of a text be illiterate, i.e. not be able to read? This is a question that seems to have also a deep historic and mythological relevance - Homer, in many ways the founder of western civilization, is usually depicted as a blind man and thus as physically unable to read. But generally the idea of an illiterate writer seems to be absurd to most of us.

The key to understand the topos seems to be religious texts: the quran is written by Allah through Mohammed, the torah by YHWH through Moses. But is it fair to call Allah or YHWH a reader? Certainly not. Ultimately the only illiterate writers seem to be Gods (why else would they need prophets to write for them?). Even Homer had an almost godlike status in ancient Greece (the Iliad and the Odyssey were known and quoted by everyone and had major cultural significance, not unlike that of the Bible in Christian societies).

By calling the anonymous poster in /nba/ an 'illiterate nigger' you equated him with a God and figuratively pushed him onto Mount Olympus - and incidentally sided with the very sympathetic idea that God is in fact black. Bravo.

WHAT THE FUCK

We were on title winning pace. I literally lost a season, what the fuck.

The other save I have is from before the season started.

I don't even feel like continuing, is there any way to recover the save?

Pls help

>He has struggled off the pitch too, with almost constant rumours that he is unsettled. Tevez claimed there were only two restaurants in Manchester but nobody could say the same of China’s commercial capital that has a population of 23 million. Yet the player has still to adapt. The team’s manager, Gus Poyet, said in May: “The language is complicated – but with the food, there are people who suffer a little more and that happened to Tevez. At the beginning he did not eat almost anything.” South American club-mates Fredy Guarín and Moreno tried their best. “We had a barbecue … and we had to remove the Chinese food,” Poyet added.
Miles pls

>>78025817
that guy is such a fucking trainwreck
but I guess the chinese league is too. perfect match
>>
I hate transfers in this sodding game. I'm offering twenty mil over the valuation, the player wants to leave, but the club won't even negotiate, in fact they're too offended to even respond to my suggestion. And they're the fourth club to do so.
>>
>>78026102
which clubs are these? how long do the players have left on their contracts?
>>
>>78026126

All of them have years left, but like that matters irl.
>>
>>78026102
>implying the ingame Transfermarkt values are accurate
>>
>>78026508

28 mil valued midfielder, I offer 31 mil with add ons, they counter with 70 mil. He's 29 btw.

Unrealistic isn't the half of it.

>>
>>78026839
do you have any idea how the world of football works?

if they don't want to sell a player why the fuck would they?

the selling team gets to decide what a player is worth, not the buying team
>>
>>78026839
Why are you trying to buy a 29 years old?
>>
>>78027009

He's younger than the 34 year old I currently have. I've only just taken over at this club though, it's not my doing.

>>78026949

I'm just frustrated that this is the only reply I'm even getting.
>>
>>78025871
I guess he's just really homesick/mentally weak. He's still a useful player when he actually wants to contibute. This play for example

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE5_68Au0ew

Tevez receives the ball, looks up and sees that there are only 2 of his teammates vs 5 defenders. Changes direction to draw defenders, which allows more of his teammates to catch up. Changes direction again, the entire River defence is concentrated on him. Finds one of his teammates that have caught up. Goal
>>
>>78027113
would you sell any of your key players to another team for their in game value?
>>
>>78027314

No, but for almost double it I would.
>>
>>78027443
bet if you offer almost double in fee + realistic addons they'll accept

if the club doesn't want to sell they don't have to until their valuation is met, see: coutinho, dembele
>>
>>78027443
well there's no doubt FM's negotiation system is a little crazy sometimes, but generally trying to buy a major player from a major club is going to cost you an absolute fuckton of cash unless he's at the end of his contract or has a release clause

sure but if you're pissing off the fans and board immediately by selling off club favourites en masse then you're almost certain to be sacked which kills the save before it even gets going. You have to gradually change to give yourself a chance.

Yes, but that's beside the point. They're the shittest big club in England right now, so it's sort of a challenge, and the only other job I fancied was Shalke, but they've won two of the last three league titles. Stoke's shit hot desu but their manager only moved on after I'd gone to Arse.

1-1 at Old Trafford. Our year confirmed.

>>78031771
FM rides on rep, so there are barely any and generally no upsets early on, but that was to be expected (well Man City became something but that's it). But the more annoying thing is that FM does not generate players with a higher combined CA/PA than 115. You have great youth but they have terrible CA early on, and every "confirmed", 24+ years old player has a max CA/PA of 115.

So basically, you're waiting for a good decade if not more that the young regens develop enough to phase out the garbage ones. They can't really be tutored since they're not much worse than the "old guard", so to get a situation similar to what would be the case if you didn't wipe the db out, you're looking to wait for about two decades for the young regens with good potential, attribute spread and personality to become world beaters.

Also, the staff regens are terrible. The Man City manager had completely garbage attributes but became a Hall of Famer ranked higher than Ferguson.

I actually somewhat don't mind the CA/PA thing, as I want the teams to be on as even footing as possible when I start the save. But does the rep thing mean I have to manually edit all teams rep to the same value?

>>
>>78038236
I think it's one of the reasons I was advised to play as Triglav by a Slovenian anon: the population of the city was decent enough to fill a stadium. Now in reality two other things come into play: Slovenia is so small we could play almost everywhere and our fans would still follow. And second... the fans didn't earn me any money. At all. I increased the stadium size only for bragging rights and to spend the excess money I had, but the ticket price in Slovenia is so miserable that having a bigger stadium was just a money sink. You can always believe that you made the day of a virtual fan by allowing them to attend with your latest extension.
>>
>>78038207
Is there a set max percentage? If yes, any idea what it is?
>>
>>78038236
>>78038301
And yes, you could put twice the population of Guingamp (around 7K people) in their stadium and you would still have space left (18 378 seats, attendance record broken to see Nerman I kid you not).

>>78038309
No clue. I believe that having other clubs in the area has an influence the same way it has an influence on youth intake. See how Rose can't fill Paris FC's stadium: there's PSG, Red Star and Racing Club (although in lower leagues) in the area at the very least.

How much did the ticket cost? IRL they are 10€ for Olimpija so not all that cheap :( It's also annoying than other clubs lift their ticket prices when playing Olimpija so even on away matches in semi-professional clubs you have to pay 10€.
It's really nice to see how much attention goes to it.

>>78038343
Right now when I'm in Thailand; I'll see if I can dig my old save and tell you how it's like in the new stadium. To me it seems pretty affordable but I don't know squat about Slovenia's minimum wage.

11€ to see the best club in the world in a brand new stadium with retractable roof and heated pitch boy.
>>
>>78038351
>>78038364
I'm not sure about the minimum, but average is just over 1000€ so I guess it's not that bad, but it's also not really a bargain considering what kind of football you're getting to watch. And games against Maribor and in Europe are more expensive.
>mfw paying my last 20€ to see CL qualifiers game against Trencin, just to see Olimpija conceive 4 goals by the 30 minute.
But at least the partial comeback was worth it.

11€ seems quite reasonable for such a massive club, still only 7k season holders though... But I guess it makes sense Kranj has population of like 30k or something.

I've noticed kits changed? How come? I've never seen that.

I don't know. Denmark is pretty small fish in the grand scheme of things. Even my foreign players are more loyal which is very un-canonical generally in Brann's history who has seen their fair share of 1-2 season foreign mercenaries.

Speaking of Katanec, he might actually be gone soon. Hopefully tonight, if Lithuania dick us down.

>still only 7k season holders though
The stadium is pretty much full for every match, which is... interesting. And obviously the NT isn't playing there, OF COURSE they wouldn't use a 25k seater, I mean what for? Ain't like they consistently sell out Sportni Par Stozice. They just sell it out often enough that I now know by heart the capacity of the damn thing: 16,038 seats. I actually made it so that in the dbs I play, the NT has no national stadium so that ridiculous stuff like that doesn't happen anymore.

>I've noticed kits changed? How come?
Because I changed my mind. The teal shirt is the no.1 GK shirt now, but because most Slovenian clubs don't have their GK colours set in the db, more often than not we default to a grey shirt due to "kit clashes". Actually it clashes all the time for weird reasons. I always set up kits before starting a save.

Who would even bother to take over? Matjaz Kek? Or most likely some Serbian/Croatian coach or something.

Well, they managed to grab two draws in our last two meetings, so I'm hoping they do at least the same tonight, if not beat us. If Katanec is to fuck off immediately, we need to lose. He already destroyed our chances for the World Cup anyway, so he might as well be gone as soon as possible and give the new coach a chance to experiment in the remaining matches.

Our morale is completely fucked at the moment. Katanec is in war with the media, players are losing confidence and the fans want things to change, so I doubt we'll have any real home advantage tonight.

>>78039417
Honestly, with our corrupt FA, you never know. I mean, they're the ones that appointed Katanec and are still holding him in position in the first place, despite him turning us into a fucking trainwreck. We scored less goals than Luxembourg, Armenia or Cyprus, for god's sake.

Matjaz Kek or some decent foreign coach would be the dream though. Maybe even Darko Milanic, but I doubt that he will leave the comfortable Maribor job anytime soon.

If it pays 15K per week like in FM he'd jump at the opportunity.

>>78039368
Hopefully players will sabotase the match and lose so that he can finally set down. I'm hoping some foreign manager will be appointed, but I doubt it, in any case I don't care much about NT so...
>>
>>78039516
>We scored less goals than Luxembourg, Armenia or Cyprus, for god's sake

about that...
>>
>>78039527
It's rumoured that Katanec is getting around 5K P/W, so that number is definitely too high. Not sure how much Milanic is getting at Maribor though.

Why is every player at my team a mercenary?
>>
>>78039776
What is your team?
>>
>>78014844
oh I disagree my man
the diamond is well suited for a very low defence. The attackers track back a bit to keep the diamond intact. You trap them at the flanks between your diamond and the sideline, accepting the early crosses

Playing high seems more risky, as these flank positions around the middle line is dangerous if the opponent can control the ball there without pressure when defence stays high

You have a three man defence (CB duo and DM), so not really.

>accepting the early crosses
Overlapping is the issue, who cares about crosses it's not FM16 anymore. With a formation with two banks you'll have a player for each opposition player unlike the 4-4-2 Diamond, which makes the whole thing tighter.

>>
>>78039815
obv. press less on full backs. They keep on the inside and let the overlapping player cross from the goalline then.

As we're very well manned everywhere but on the flanks, we'd want to restrict their options and make it as little dangerous as possible when they get the ball to that position. Leaving space behind the back three in that situation is asking for problems
>>
>>78039855
>Leaving space behind the back three in that situation is asking for problems
Not really unless you don't press, which you should do anyway due to how the formation is structured. With the density in the midfield, you'll be subject to hoofs at best, so as long as your CBs don't have bricks for feet there's no issue. If your DM can't hold and your CBs can't anticipate crap, your issues are somewhere else and I wouldn't play a 4-4-2 Diamond to begin with since they need their hands to be held and can't be left alone.

Then I would never play a 4-4-2 Diamond anyway.

Did your NT manager get sacked yet? You guys made Piqué look good.
>>
>>78039882
I like the diamond but I like it low as I said, I like that it makes it very tough for opponents to ever have space in the middle. You press less and keep the shape, leaving the flanks pretty open and prepare for the crosses, obviously never giving much space between gk and cb's
>>
>>78039969
playing it high with high press on the other hand seems counterintuitive to me, seems hard to press well with the formation
>>
>>78039957
no sadly, and some journals are backing him saying that the team played like shit and it wasn't his fault
i get that we played like shit as a whole, but that tactic was probably the worst idea any manager ever had, how could you even think to play with 2 midfielders against probably the best midfield in europe?
also, /ourguy/ Raiola said that Ventura should go play volleyball, topkek
>>
>>78039979
I press with any formation that has obvious holes in it (which includes the 4-4-2 Diamond among others) because I don't want the opposition to exploit them, while I sit with formations that have clear, well disciplined banks.

it's nice to know where you're weak and prepare to deal with these situations, and don't have to worry about being expoited where you're supposedly strong

still haven't found the right pozich/role for the two attackers though. tried them at AM, WM, AWM and FW positions and a lot of different roles.
