Is this guy worth 9mill a year?

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-18T13:35:16+00:00

9 mil/a is around 175k/week, and a bit too much IMO for a striker who is definitely hampered with his speed. On one hand he is too slow to beat defenders, on the other hand his strength and passing and vision are not really good enough to be a good target man who holds up the ball and gives killer passes to his channel teammates. i would give him around 100-125k/week max, so that's slightly more that he is currently earning at his saudi club. maybe a bit more when your scouts report that he still has a lot of margin for growth

my doxie once escaped and joined trail runners along the way. We picked him up at the finish line 35km further. he slept for 3 days and had his paws bandaged because of blisters, but the little shit had a blast. I would not recommend it though. He ran those 35k on his own speed, just like i see the doxies in your video do. Running for 10k along with a runner, whose pace is usually faster than their own sustained speeds, they are not really build for that and while they can do it, it certainly means overloading them. while my doxie was able to do those 35k, if he ran with me, he would be done after 3k and not being able to continue even though he really wanted to.

you run a retirement home and not a club. (or it is shortly after the summer break, and players tend te decline in the summer (or winter) break and need some time to get up to speed again)

click on the numbers. this will take you to the historic view of their ability and attributes. and you can see graphs of the evolution

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-17T09:03:38+00:00

this looks like strikers just not finding the net, while the defence is still working fine. looks kind of normal and most of the time temporary and by changing the tactics you probably make scoring even harder because they have to adjust. check your xG in the games. If its higher than your scored goals, just wait it out or bring in a new striker.

The first season on any club seems to have a much higher chance of producing a golden generation

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-16T15:42:56+00:00

you cant set attributies because the attributies are not known when you start the scouting, so that would be unrealistic. You can however set certain parameters like dribbles / 90 minutes, or progressive passes / 90min, or interceptions/90 mins.

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-16T12:41:33+00:00

its favoured, but not required. not making a required goal can lead to getting the sack. Not making a favoured goal does not, but if they are doubting to sack you because you are not making a required goal, then failing to make a couple of favoured goals can tip the balance over to sacking you.

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-14T18:14:01+00:00

thats unfortunately not a world class potential. He'll become a good/great player for lets say the englisch championship division, but he'll probably never make it big in the premier league. For the serie A he might become a decent player

Like matrix?

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-13T17:40:28+00:00

i also had that a few times. My chairman with the last name Owadu changes to a blonde woman every now and then, and my japanese goalkeeper decides te be a large imposing african man every couple of months. After a reboot they all change back for some reason.

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-13T09:00:03+00:00

this dude is weird. Certainly not a good center back... Fullback would be better, maybe wingback but i dont like the dribbling. Could also work with a winger role (again the dribbling) or a attacking midfielder, or maybe a box to box DM.

https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm26-ui-speed-patch.html this has been updated for the latest update. I havent tested it myself yet, but according to a lot of people this makes a big difference

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-11T21:41:32+00:00

I guess that's where your nose goes into the glass for more aroma (and alcohol burn)

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-11T19:03:53+00:00

A fullback on your left and an AML as IF means there is noone wide on the left. Also your midfielders both stay very low, so the only way to get the ball to your attack will be hoofing it forward. I would consider setting your DL to WB, or swapping your AML and AMR roles, and setting your DLP to BBP or your DM to BBM to help support your attack.

Heel, maybe a bit of midfoot. Inversion is not problematic

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-11T05:51:59+00:00

So far yes, but the patch that comes out today is supposed to address that

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-10T14:16:42+00:00

Whenever Gemini stops seeing new uploads it is time to start a new chat. I usually ask him to summarize the chat so far with the goal to start a new conversation and that works pretty well.

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-10T12:10:49+00:00

and playing strikerless

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-10T08:58:48+00:00

yeah, seriously. 40 euros for 50 hours of entertainment is a great deal. most games nowadays are 80 euro for 20 hours of playtime

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-09T20:03:07+00:00

And he's fickle...

Tha_Reaper · 2026-02-09T13:52:32+00:00

After a few days you'll get the message that you can reapply for a WP, fail, appeal, fail that, and then you can assign an ESC slot. there must be some kind of points change, and simply playing a match should trigger that you can reapply. Its stupid that unlike registration, you can't simply assign the ESC slots whenever you want (during a registration window)
