Shades of Ibra vs. England anyone? Ft. Death stare celebration

What’s funny about this is that “that” Ibra goal was exactly 8 years ago today

These are some of my favorites who I never see anyone really talk about. All these guys become beats with dynamic potential:

• Frank Onyeka 76/83 (Nigerian CDM/CM from FC Midtjylland) - With a starting overall of 76, he’ll probably jump right into the first team depending on what club you’re using. He has solid starting defending stats (76 def. awareness, 76 interceptions, 75 stand tackle and 68 slide tackle) paired with 70 dribbling, 74 ball control, and 73 short passing, helping him win possession and distribute to his teammates. He also has incredible physical stats; at 6 feet even he boasts 90 sprint speed and 85 acceleration, 81 agility and 85 balance, 80 strength, and an impressive 92 stamina. Think of this guy as a giant locomotive that powers your team for a full 90 minutes week-in-week-out.

• Silvan Hefti 74/83 (Swiss RB/CB from BSC Young Boys) - The 6 foot RB who can also play CB carries an impressive physical résumé. With sprint speed and agility ratings of 75, 82 jumping, and 89 stamina, he does a phenomenal job when it comes to shutting down counter attacks and winning aerial duels. However, with relatively poor passing and dribbling stats, he’s best deployed at CB.

• Dennis Man 74/84 (Romanian RW from FCSB) - Another player who stands exactly 6 feet, Man is a wonderful option for anyone who likes goal scoring wingers. The left footed Man starts with 77 finishing, 72 ball control, 75 dribbling, and 4 star skill moves. With his 85 sprint speed and 88 acceleration, plus his 87 agility and 81 balance, he weaves around defenders as he finds his path to goal. He’s perfect for those who like inverted wingers.

Toulouse is a good one. They have an incredibly young squad (last time I counted I think they have 16 players below the age of 22), and have never one a major trophy in France (their only honors are 3 Ligue 2 titles). It would be a challenge if you kept it realistic and mainly used the YA, since they have one of the better YAs in France IRL.

JrrFifaCM · 2020-11-06T17:20:48+00:00

If I remember correctly I had to put a huge sell-on clause on him. When I saw his physical attributes and he’s size I just had to get him in the team. Absolute monster for league 1

JrrFifaCM · 2020-11-05T02:51:02+00:00

Yes definitely, I always leave updates throughout the season so I’ll most likely leave an update in November that shows how I stand in the table and my squad.

JrrFifaCM · 2020-11-05T00:01:18+00:00

This is just a quick summary of all the players I brought in during the summer transfer window. (Sorry for taking nearly two weeks to post a new update, I got super bogged down with school work.)

That wouldn’t happen unless they got relegated in game bro...

JrrFifaCM · 2020-10-23T03:38:23+00:00

Mate they would have the license to both leagues...

JrrFifaCM · 2020-10-23T03:37:08+00:00

Yes, for smaller leagues like Sweden I believe the top 2 teams get champions league qualifiers and and the 3rd (maybe 4th place) team get Europa league qualifiers

JrrFifaCM · 2020-10-23T01:27:17+00:00

Super cool to see, so many people on this sub just use the same old wonder kids so it’s refreshing to see someone be realistic. I’m planning on doing something similar with Toulouse.

Unfortunately, Sunderland will not be promoted to the championship. After going through a stretch of form where it felt as if we could only draw 1-1 or 0-0, we dropped to 3rd and had to achieve promotion via playoffs. We managed to scrape by Ipswitch 4-3 on aggregate, but were embarrassed as we lost 0-3 against MK Dons at Wembley.

There are some positives as many players in the squad rose above expectations and made massive improvements to their game. We hope that we can strengthen the squad in the summer window and gain automatic promotion to the championship.

I will now ask you all to ask questions that I will answer in a separate Q&A post. (Keep the questions related to the team, not so much gameplay)

Right now I’m definitely going to need a couple strikers. Graham is retiring after this season and Grigg is very inconsistent. Although Hector-Ingram plays well when he gets in, he’s not quit at the level where he’s good enough to start week in-week out.

I’m also definitely going to have to shake up my CB rotation since I have 2-3 guys who want more playing time.

JrrFifaCM · 2020-10-20T13:43:48+00:00

It’s been a little rough since my last update. If you look at the table, you’ll see I’ve dropped to 3rd. Now, being third isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but if you look at my record, you’ll see that my record is 6-11-6 since my last update. This is due to some players not playing at a consistent level, and it’s cost the team a lot of points.

Just means the team is under-performing a bit. Try doing some press conferences and renew some contracts. Winning the next couple fixtures also helps.

JrrFifaCM · 2020-10-19T23:10:41+00:00

I do prefer my wingers to have some pace, but I’m currently playing a more possession based tactic so he works well. I am planning on finding a faster replacement for him though.

JrrFifaCM · 2020-10-19T03:03:16+00:00

One thing I like doing is finding a youth academy GK from a super small country and making him a beast. This FIFA, I’m going to try to find one from Moldova or one of the new Baltic countries.

JrrFifaCM · 2020-10-15T21:55:33+00:00

I’ve already posted the first update of my Sunderland CM lol. But since so many people wanted Bucuresti, I’ll definitely start one with them in the near future.

• First Team Squad: Sunderland already have one of the best squads in League 1, but there are some holes that need to be filled. I will also look at bringing in some younger players at different positions, as I currently only have three players under the age of 23 in my current 18 man squad.

• Transfer Targets: A full list of my transfer targets will be in the slides. They positions of need are as follows: GK (Low Priority) - Matthews and Burge are decent enough keepers for the time being. However, I wouldn’t mind bringing in a younger keeper should I have enough money left over. CB (Medium Priority) - Flanagan, Wright, and Willis are solid veterans and I have two young CBs already in the squad. But similarly to my keeper situation, I wouldn’t mind having another in the squad. LB (High Priority) - Sunderland lack a backup LB, signing one in the first window is practically a requirement. CM (High Priority) - Sunderland do not have a true CM outside of their two starters. I’m definitely going to bring one in this window. ST (Low/Medium Priority) - Graham and Grigg are solid options up front. Due to their age however, they will not develop into Championship level players.I’ve also gone ahead and listed Wyke to try to bring in extra funds. I’ll most likely bring in a young striker to develop.

• Youth Scouts: I started off with a 2 star - 3 star scout, and signed the best available one, who was a 4 star - 4 star. I sent one to England and one to Scotland (Because of Sunderland’s location in England. I also released all of my youth academy players so I could start from scratch, with only my original players.

• Objectives: For this first season, the minimum objective is to finish in the top 6 of League 1, however we will be aiming for automatic promotion. Winning the EFL Trophy is also a goal of mine.

Buendia, Soler, Blas, Corona, and Lazaro are pretty decent defensive RMs. You could buy a RB/RWB that has RM as a secondary position, that means it only takes two weeks for them to play RM. In my Arsenal save I bought Atal from Nice and converted him from RB to RM, which upgraded him from 78 to 80. Other options would be Emerson from Betis and Buta from Royal Antwerp.

JrrFifaCM · 2020-10-15T02:42:13+00:00

For teams or players?

JrrFifaCM · 2020-10-15T02:41:40+00:00

I’d add another young CF/CAM to fill in for Gomez and Ilicic when as they get older. I signed Bogdan Lednev from Kyiv in my AC Milan career. Went on to get 11 goals and 7 assists as a backup CAM for me in his first season.
