This guy came up through the leagues with me, he's the star performer of my Championship side and he's terrible, all he can do is run. I've read that high pace/acceleration means he had a higher CA than you'd expect and it makes players that look rubbish perform ok Guess that applies to him Also high 5 for getting North East minnows up the league - I'm currently Gateshead in the prem at about 2021 ish

The big thing is meant to be that physical stats don't get affected by form, so he'll turn up every week and run really fast forever

It's a shame I can't yell at the NI international manager in the press for never giving poo poo, fast lads a chance. Why does any of the media stuff even exist?

International caps seem to be based solely on reputation. I bought a 20 yo kid from Norwich after he'd been the top scorer in the Premier League while out on loan for some midtable dross, and it took nearly a full season of playing for me in the Champions League to get a token cap for England.

There's an Italo-Canadian DC in my game who was at Monaco, hadn't declared for either nation, and was completely ignored by the Canadian national team, despite being streets ahead of anyone else in the squad. He ended up getting capped by Italy once he started playing regularly, but come on, if he's good enough for Italy, he would have been good enough for Canada years ago.

Yeah, players with mixed nationalities will refuse call-ups to the lower ranked nation, waiting for the higher ranked nation to show some interest, seen it plenty. It's in their international happiness section (or was in FM14)

yeah, players don't tend to accept call ups from the "lesser nation" they qualify for until they're absolutely sure they won't get a better option, generally in their mid to late twenties.

Anyone know why I can't sign players from Brazil on pre-contracts? There's been 4 or 5 players who I've tried to sign with like 4 months to go on their contracts, but there's no Approach to Sign option on them, and then they renew their contracts with their club despite wanting to join me, because I just can't approach them

I just checked his stats, he won the golden boot with 27 goals and 17 assists in 35 appearances for a newly promoted Leicester that he dragged to 10th. I then promptly signed him for 44 mil at the end of the season before he could ever play a senior game for his parent club Norwich, and he finally got an England cap a couple of months later. I thought it was longer that it took to get his first cap, but it was actually where he and Danny Welbeck led England to glory in the 2020 Euros, having never even made a training squad with England before. He's now got 14 goals in 30 caps by the age of 22.  When I signed him he had composure of 10 and finishing of 6 and was still banging them in.

Mandalay posted:Composure 14, Finishing 8. Truly a world class striker. He's by far the most frustrating player I've ever signed. Cannot stop fashioning chances, with 20 acceleration (rip his hamstrings) and 19 dribbling, and cannot put in a good pass or shot to save his life. It's just by outstanding sheer volume that he scores lots, because when he's running with the ball he's impossible to stop

Few questions. One, my editor shows blank databases, what do. Google tells me nothing. All I wanna do is add Latveria to the nations. Two, is there any way to auto-sim matches instead of watching them? I care about the outcome of friendlies, but not so much about actually watching them play-by-play. Three, is there any way to have an obnoxious Spanish-speaking man yell GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL every time someone scores a goal?

By default the Instant Result button is only available in Classic mode, I believe, but there are many skins that add the button back. I use Scorpio.

There is an option to have your AssMan handle friendly matches under Responsibilities.

No, but there is a rare chance to get "GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!" when a goal is scored.

I've played this game for a long time, and I don't know that it was because I never paid attention, or maybe because it's not happened for any clubs that I've managed, but I've never seen such a thorough demolition for stand remodel.

I honestly think this version is the best one I've played. The ME is good and I very really concede the same lovely goal or score the same lovely goal. Also I notice the difference when I bring on an attacking midfielder that runs with the ball over one that likes to pass more. For the first time probably ever I've got a save going that's lasted longer than three seasons too. Started with Ajaccio in Ligue 2 and somehow managed to win the French cup in my first season as well as winning the league. Second season I came 7th and got to the quarters of the Euro Cup- knocking United out on the way. Third season I came second and won the French Cup again. I had high hopes for the current season as I picked up Giroud on loan from Arsenal but that useless hosed can't score for poo poo. Thankfully my midfield have picked up the slack. Currently 5th in January and into the second round of the Champions League where I'll face United again.

I think it's also the first version where I don' t go looking for a third-party skin because the default skin / UI is so good.

Between injuries, bad financials and the African loving Cup of loving Nations, I think I'll have to rely on this actual Panamanian wasteman to score a few goals to get me into the Premier League. I forgot if it's really good or really bad to give the "shoots first time" PPM to a striker with a first touch of 4. Scored a brace in his first start though
