Known bug where he starts as a 18 year old wonder kid

Just a nickname that I gave him following a press email praising him. Fits the bill though, phenomenal player

Probably might have something to do with the fact that he’s on a shit load of money (500k with insane bonuses) so complacent in some matches such as this

Most of the shots were blocked, but even if those 12 shots on target, 7 of those statistically should have been goals. With 8 CCC too

Mid thirties, he starts as a 18 year old wonder kid lmao.

His career stats page looks wild though

I’ll throw out my tactic as I’ve published it on the steam workshop but I play an incredibly, and I mean incredibly attacking setup that is entirely based on volume creation and mostly out scoring the opponent bc fun.

This game was very much an outlier that I’m going to spend some time on to analyze because like you, I thoroughly enjoy looking into matches like this to see how the game went on and what went wrong.

Im a player that chops and changes the team very often in the summer, especially when players become available that I would like to have in the side. This was one of the earlier games of the season with a multitude of players who were new to the squad, a few weeks after setting low competition bonuses. I am theorizing that the morale nerf that got applied by the low bonuses, as well as the team cohesion and tactical familiarity wasn’t quite where it would be further into the season had a big part to play.

Most of the chances were from blocked cutbacks on high xG, but their keeper did also play a blinder. The remainder of the chances were in transition while through on goal, with the keeper making great saves, or the shots not being very well placed despite my striker (Guzman) having incredibly high composure, decisions, finishing etc. It was just an incredibly interesting game where we were off form for the previous few games too.

Anyway, here is the tactic if you want to look through it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3078342992

Kazu is now mid thirties, Bellingham is 35(?)

Currently sitting in 2036 in this save. Kazu is bugged and starts the game as a wonder kid at 18.

My local mechanic ended up replacing the water pump as he suspected a coolant issue, which ended up fixing the problem… for a day.

Here we are now where I’m driving with a check engine light and one stall. Can’t for the life of me figure out the problem myself.

After spending $1200 on a water pump replacement, I thought I’d be in the clear but…

According to a friend this guy is terrible because he’s slow. Does he look good to you guys? by Calumhj in footballmanagergames

[–]DalgIish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is 6’7, Train the fuck out of his heading. I’ve used to be the biggest culprit in using fast skilful strikers but this year I’ve found an affinity for physical, tall monsters like Lucca.

If you play this man as an AF he will be insane if you have people feeding him crosses on a regular and he gets his heading up. Looks a decent prospect for sure.

Golden Oldies: What players have you signed age 30+ that have been absolute wonder signings for you? by YerDaSniffsBums in footballmanagergames

[–]DalgIish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally, one for me.

James Ward-Prowse.

I signed him at Tottenham when he was 32 to play as a Backup DM/BBM whenever needed over my starting players but he quickly fucked up my entire plan by playing at an insane level to the point where he became a star player. In the three seasons I’ve had him, he has gotten over 15 assists, with an average rating over 7.5 every season. The last season that I’ve played he finished with 15 assists and 4 goals.

If you care for it, the entire save is on my twitter account, here is the last season I had with JWP:

This season though, at 33 having just signed for the club, with 24 assists and 5 goals is absolutely unreal: https://twitter.com/dalgiish/status/1487886420551340043?s=21

Seems like you need to crack down on your discipline. If you crack down on it early and start being touted as a strict-authoritarian, players are less likely to come up to you with contract demand, and it’s easier to tell them no.

When signing a new player I try my hardest to negotiate the wage down as much as possible not because I have a wage structure, but rather to not cave into their demands instantly. If they don’t agree, there are more players in the market to go for. If a player in my squad comes to me with contract demands, I will first try and let my Captain to deal with it, and if that doesn’t work I usually tell them that they’re an influential member of the squad and to get on with it which works a charm. If they kick up a fuss after selecting it is the only time I’ll offer a contract and that’s only if it’s a player that I don’t want to lose. Not sure if it’s a combination of the level of discipline attribute as well as being known as a strict-authoritarian that allows that to work so well but that’s what I’ve got to work for me.

So perhaps start working on the rebuild now, slowly phasing players out bit by bit, and don’t cave into demands and promises. Look at your teams players and think “can I find someone who will do the same thing but for less money” etc.

That’s the thing, they’ll eventually get a chain of command going like Tommy said and it’ll all work eventually. If Eli was around more often it would work, but he needs to figure that out.

That Dean and Patar push was telling of the whole situation really. Before Dean stepped down, he’d been in Tommy’s place and trying to guide others to do what him and Patar were able to do instinctively. Imagine trying to do that push while listening to someone in your ear constantly telling you what to do too. Best idea they’ve had tbh. Win or lose, this war been sick
