is there something in the game that makes your team implode vs last placed teams?

>>78233770
you'll probably do fine just within UK/ireland, but if you do send scouts outside, you could try focusing on (somewhat) low-rep eastern european EU nations like bulgaria, hungary, slovakia, and maybe czech rep and romania if you have a little more cash. check their u19 and u21 national teams, especially for unattached players. chances are your scouts won't find much on their own, but there's usually few bargains to be found, generally young regens.
germany and france have loads of players, so you might want to send your scouts there, although finding someone really good who'd be willing to go down to that level on low wages is less likely

I can still beat them but if my attackers have been struggling to score lately then it can be a torturous experience. I have to exhaust my players via extra pressing and it'll risk a late-game fade while they're okay with taking a draw.

Vincenzo Montella always does this, but otherwise there's usually at least one manager in any league who also does it.

They are. Unless you put a Support duty, they don't track back in defence. Which is incredibly dumb for multiple reasons.

>loaning players out in the hopes they get first team football only to be slotted into the loanee's youth teams

i pose a question to the audience

what's the point in players like neymar having £200m or higher release clauses when La Liga is just going to bitch and moan about FFP when someone actually pays them? surely it defeats the purpose of requiring a release clause to register players within the league if they actively don't want them to be triggered?

>>78237578
>Isn't it supposed to prevent clubs that are running at a large debt to overspend?
It's supposed to keep the big clubs big. That's that. UEFA doesn't care about fucking Leeds or any other club that went bankrupt

>>78237673
> when La Liga is just going to bitch and moan about FFP when someone actually pays them?
They only bitched because Neymar's a big name (muh marketing, TV money, etc) and he's moving to a competitor

>>78237673
The point was to prevent people from paying them indeed unless they have absurd amounts of money, which is why Barça and Leliga whine when PSG just did that. Spain should be glad: with the number of clubs that are in debt they have, if they had to go through French DNCG they'd barely have 10 clubs in the top division.

>surely it defeats the purpose of requiring a release
It's obligatory in Spain. They have to have a release clause. In France, you actually can't have a release clause; but I don't remember if it's a thing in FM.

>>78237673
Spanish law requires every worker to be able to buy out his contract as far as I remember

I'll walk you through my favorite way of playing Football Manager 2007.

Ok so there's a lot to cover here so I'll start by saying that yes, I have previously played a game where I used cheats to get trillions of pounds and a stadium with 250,000 seats, yes I have played a team from the Conference South and had them promoted to League Two, yes I've played in the MLS, the Bundesliga, the Premier League, Championship and League One. I've won the SPL with Celtic and turned them into a world-class team. I've played briefly in the A-League (Australia) and I've managed the New Zealand Men's National Team and turned them from a group of obscure amateurs (Rory Fallon aside) into a team of professional footballers playing for teams across Europe. I've done all this and yet...and yes I return always to Barcelona. Now I know what you're thinking: "Oh, because that's *so* hard right?" and I'll just smile and play along before I suddenly adopt a more serious facial expression because, guys, playtime's over. Anyway so what I was trying to tell you before you started giggling and being sarcastic is that I don't purchase any players while managing Barcelona. Nobody? Nope. Not even a youth signing? No way. I rely on my academy to provide 100% of all players I use once the initial players have retired or moved on. I do this while of course trying to remain La Liga champions and strong contenders in the various cups both domestic and international, and also keeping Barcelona B in the LIGA BBVA. It's a great challenge and I recommend it to everyone who still plays FM07 (Football Manager 2007). It forces you to properly tutor and nurture young talent, deciding who gets loaned out and where and which players to emulate and pass on useful skills and traits.

lads, that tottenham-dortmund game makes me want to commit suicide. i just moved into a new apartment and my new roommates, man.. one of them doesn't care about football, the other is a fucking girl and they both ridicule me for caring about this stupid game. so im sitting here drinking one beer after another, watching the game by myself and everything goes to shit.

i swear i want to die right now, but i cant, presumably because i wasnt born yet, there is no other possibility. im still stuck in the womb of my mother, or rather in the rectum of my mother, yes, i will be born through the anus, the true portal of the body, nothing else makes sense. but not yet, maybe i will always be stuck in the anus, yes, i think so. this must be true, i feel it. i want to be born, just to be able to commit suicide because of this fucking game.

why is this ref such a moron? doesnt he and his >assistant know how the offside rule works? why did bosz choose to play toljan instead of zagadou? im at a loss here. this is the proof why god is not just, experiencing this game is like reading the book of job, god does not give a shit about the world, he literally does not care. hes playing more games like my ex. and i have to suffer, again. and again and again.

You are likely to concede a lot of goals from crosses, and you can choose to score from them yourself to balance it out. I guess the DL/DR and possibly LWB/RWB positions are insanely strong. I remember Danny Simpson getting something like an average rating of 8.2 at right back.

i have a pretty good idea about how you could start the text about the problems of modern football. i feel the key to understanding the topic lies in the idea of heroism. for me the greatest moment of football in the recent years was zidane's red card in the wc 06. zidane acts here like a true hero - he headbutts materazzi without any reason (completely rejecting logic). its a pure act of fate. watching zidane go down the stairs into the tunnel to the changing rooms after getting sent off is like watching icarus descent into the sea and drowning after flying too close to the sun.

icarus, like zidane, is of course a hero, pushing the boundaries, acting out of pure force of will. icarus dies, zidane gets send off and loses the wc final. but they were both for one brief moment bigger than the game itself. icarus rejected the natural law imposed by the sun and zidane rejected the rules of football. i dont think a moment like this is possible today. it has been impossible to be a hero in the western world for the past 70 years, heroism had been restricted to sports. now it seems heroes are not allowed to exist even in sports. messi is not a hero, ronaldo is certainly not a hero. neymar is the absolute opposite of a hero. the only active player with heroic characteristics is suarez, but he's more animal than human i feel.

this idea, of course, still needs a lot of development. i start wagecucking again in october so i need to taper off the drugs a bit, but maybe i can write a good take on it. a shame im not a native english speaker, my german prose is so much better than my english prose.

>>78248260
>so i need to taper off the drugs a bit
oh so you were on drugs, that's why

but nibba i unironically like the way you think and express your thoughts on this shit site

about heroism, has it really been restricted to sports? there's a lot of heroism in war, for what i know (nothing), that 99% of the times ends with the death of the soldier (i swear i'm not thinking of vidyas saying this), it even sounds like someone who kills himself in order to benefit their land (or their masterplan, like isis) is a hero

what i said above could be completely wrong so bully me if that's the case

>about heroism, has it really been restricted to sports? there's a lot of heroism in war, for what i know (nothing), that 99% of the times ends with the death of the soldier
war is of course the natural place for heroism to occur (though, paradoxically, often amond those who reject the war. the true heroes during ww2 were the resistance in france, the resistenza in italy and the partisans in the balkans - those who never wanted war, who never wanted to become heroes in the first place), other possibilities are countries with regressive governments etc.. thats why i wrote that heroism has died in the western world - it is impossible to be a hero nowadays in europe/the us. there are vertainly traditional heroes in china, in africa and in asia, unknown to the public eye (what makes them even more heroic of course). its even inconceivable how a hero in the western world would look like. in sports you do have the ref as an omnipotent dictator. sports are never just, thats why the possiblity of heroism exists. in the bundesliga we have video assistance for the refs now, this completely destroys this possiblity and im very sad that no one recognizes this.

only the evil, only injustice makes heroism possible.

File: CD Palencia Balompie_ Players Players-3.png (2MB, 1891x1109px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 1891x1109px

Vladimir Sudar - Previously in the Third Swedish Division, Highlight of his career previously being a single season in Sweden's top division.
Edu Paya - On Loan from CD Leganes in the Segunda Division B, that's the highest he had ever played previously. Started in Atleticos youth team, moved to Real's youth team but couldn't even cut it at Castilla.
David Valencia - Colombian player who had been without a team since 2016 prior to signing in the summer of 2019. Actually decent and has another 4 years or so in him. No idea how he was without a club. IRL, doesnt even have a wikipedia page (in any language).
Kiki - Really solid young defender that Sporting let go for free. He played well in their reserve team, although that and half a season in Morocco is the extent of his professional career.
Joel Keller - German born Swiss, the 24 year old had played for St. Pauli reserves and Basel u21.
Eddie Oseni - Actual name Waheed Akanni Oseni, can play anywhere in the middle. Been with us since 2016 and only improved as the team rose through the leagues. Previous experience in Nigeria, Israel, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq.
Aitor Castro - Been with the team since 2016, clearly out of his depth in La Liga. Still playing ok, just no longer the explosive creative powerhouse in midfield that he was in 2017.
Xeka - Actual name Miguel Angelo da Silva Rocha, this is his second year with Palencia. Previous experience includes an awful few years in Portugals second league.
Ramon - At least has Ramon in his actual name, been with the team since 2017. Previous experience includes 14 appearances over 3 years in Brazils third and fourth leagues.
Farley - Previously released from Sporting and then exposed in Ukraine, Brazil, Cyprus, Greece, and then again in Brazil, he's come on to play alright in La Liga with 3 goals from 11 appearances.
Nemanja Radonjic - Bought by Roma at 16, he went on to make no appearances for them. Also has 3 goals in 11 appearances in La Liga.

>>78250016
André Hainault - (rightful) captain, leader, legend. Successful in countless countries' club football, and only embarrassed himself for his national team a few times. A vibrant personality and rock-solid defender who is essentially carrying his teammates to success.

>>78250150
>only embarrassed himself for his national team a few times
To be fair, playing for your national team is an embarrassment in and of itself.

I'm also only using him as a backup defensive fullback. He has two appearances with a 6.55 average rating.

Here I would like to express a lament for fullbacks under canadian managers. They're left all lonesome on their flanks and when a winger is running at them with the ball, there's nothing they can do: if they close him down, the winger just passes the ball onto an overlapping fullback, leaving the defending fullback for dead. If they stand the winger off, he cuts inside and creates a chance. At the end of the match, they're close to tears and sometimes even suicide.

Pic related, it's a fullback forced to play wingerless tactics.

You'll be fine, my froggy friend. Probably promoted or mid table. I think theres a lot to come from you and I know you have what it takes.

>He thinks im in eplel

Im already at the top league,gonna fight against monaco, PSG (my """rivals"""), OM , LYON etc.. with this.

i am looking stressed senpai.

>>78254420
Ligue is French top league. like EPlel, leligua and serie A. top gets chapions's league places, bottom gets releguated to league 2

>>78254437
Read it as
>relegation from league 2

Midtable it is, then.

>>78254146
>determination drop due to non-football related event
So I >>78254142 was right... What the fuck is wrong with Poland? It's the most backwards place in Europe these days

>>78254437
I never play outside of England but sometimes I think I should, after the initial first season in the PL which is a struggle you then have so much money and can spend £100 million per season if you sell some players as well. So the challenge basically ends there. I'd imagine that in the other big European leagues it would be pretty fun for a while which so much less money for the other clubs but still a few teams that have loads of money.

>>78254478
Don't chat shit about Poland, m8. I was there last year and met only very nice people.

>>78254501
Same. People in Warsaw, Katowice, Gdansk are all nice. Seems that these cavemen inhabit ex-industrial cities and rural shitholes. Shame

>>78254479
i played a RC strausburg alace save in last year's game. got promoted to ligue 2, became professional, won ligue 2, hung around a few seasons, and eventually won ligue 1.
I had to grind results against everyone, losing to PSG, and letting PSG choke in other games.
but that was it, i couldn't win in the CL
i got outspent so bad by bayern, RM/Barca and the english clubs, it was frustrating
The main benefit of managing outside of england is the work permit situation. I could buy tons of young hues and argentines

>>78254524
I like the idea of a comfy french save, but I know it'd take a few years just to get rid of all the nogs. Too much effort.

Sounds like South America is the place for you. Foreigner restrictions, scheduling, European clubs trying to poach, less prize money, etc.
