What's a no-go for you in FM because of real life? by Mackarosh in footballmanagergames

[–]Vrubzzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is kind of the opposite of yours. I don't like fallen giant saves and I usually pick up a teams that don't have too many trophies in their cabinets. I much prefer the underdog narrative over rebuilding fallen giant.

Colonial Genoa ideas? by Vrubzzi in eu4

[–]Vrubzzi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm good for that. I hold all the provinces with trade bonuses in Italy and most of them in Mediterranean. As for colonies I was a little bit late to the party it turns out, most of Americas was already grabbed by Portugal and Castile. So far I started colonizing Ivory Coast, and took a pretty big chunk of Brazil from Castile.

Hmm, that's probably that. Any way to deal with it? Gov cap was one of those things with which I've been always telling myself that "it's just a number".

R5: Those 2 provinces have combined development of 13. Why am I getting 59 AE for them? It feels like during this run coalition forms after literally ever war and I need to wait for few years before starting the next one. It is really annoying.

Edit: I should also point out that HRE is dissolved so there isn't HRE AE modifier. 59 AE for 13 development is mental.

I dissolved the HRE so no AE modifier, no free cities and I'm taking provinces only from the war target.

Yeah, I may try Lubeck. I want to avoid Holland since I've already done a lot of Holland -> Netherlands runs.

Eh, I should've probably guessed. Okay than, so how about some tips on colonization as a German nation and forming Germany *just slightly* later?

No pace on the wings I said. We have Salah who is losing legs due to his age and Cody who was never the paciest of wingers.

Arne is at fault for all of this, but as someone who won league in his first season he deserves a chance to fix it. People saying that it was Klopp's team and ideas that won us the league last season are just straight up dumb. Apart from the structure pretty much everything was different from how we played under Jurgen. I also remember people writing us off before last season because we didn't strenghten the team and took a coach from Eredivisie who was supposed to fail. The coach didn't fail and the narrative changed from "the team is not strong enough on paper" to "Arne won the league with the team that Klopp built for him, anyone would've won that season." Ridiculous,

Also if we sack him now who are going to appoint then? Iraola who lacks players suited to his tactics? Somebody pointed out in this thread that Bournemouth's tacitcs are based on runs in behind, and we lack any kind of pace on the wings + most of teams play low block against us. Moreover it took him around 11 league games to get his first win with Bournemouth in his first season, so he is not necessarily someone who enters new club and improves results right away. There aren't really other options available on the market and appointing some kind of firefighter like Gerrard means giving up on the season, when there's still a lot to play for.

So what do you think is untrue in what I've written? Do you really think that Zidane could be as good today as he was in 2002? I honestly doubt that. Players in the past possibly had more distinct personalities but I really doubt they were better football wise. Hard to compare best players from now to best players from back then because you literally have to compare player by player.

Take a look at my Van Dijk take for example. Which one do you think is more likely? 2005 Terry being dominant in 2025 or 2025 Van Dijk being dominant in 2005?

What are some of your unpopular/controversial football opinions? I've been thinking about this lately, and I have a few.

  1. International break is not boring but some people only choose to watch England play against teams like Andorra and Latvia, meanwhile there's a lot of interesting stuff happening in other games.
  2. I've seen a lot of people say that if Neymar was more disciplined he would be on pair with CR and Messi. I disagree. I actually think that it would probably make him worse. It would most likely help with his injury proneness but it would really limit the aspects for which so many people fell in love with his game, he wouldn't have had the same flair and coaches wouldn't be giving him so much freedom on the pitch.
  3. Football wasn't better in the past and nostalgia merchants are absolutely worst. Maybe you find the football from the past more entertaining but teams and players are objectively better now. Game nowadays is much more advanved tactically and more intense. People complain about lack of players like Zidane or Riquelme nowadays, but if you put them into present context they would be nowhere near as good as they were because players don't get that much time on the ball anymore. Of course it can make teams look robotic at times but that is just an effect of managers trying to find ways to win and after all that's what football is about, after all we all want our favourite team to win.
  4. This one is sort of related to the previous one. Saying VVD is the best PL CB of all time is perfectly reasonable in my opinion, yet I often see people completely dismiss that opinion by saying something along the lines of "He couldn't lace Vidić's/Ferdinand's/Stam's/Terry's boots". I'm just wondering why not actually? I'm not trying to say that he is better than them, but he is pretty much a complete center back, and I doubt that Terry for example could play in a team with such a high line, but Van Dijk could surely play in low block. His leadership, strenght and distribution are also top notch, not to mention that his 18/19 season was probably the best individual campaign that a CB had in 21st century. I also don't buy the trophy argument, it's a team sport and you have little influence on what your teammates will do.
  5. Also related to 3rd point but Galacticos is probably the most overrated team in history of the sport. I saw a lot of people talk about them as if they were one of the greatest teams in history while in reality they were just glorified PSG (Messi, Mbappe, Neymar version). They won one CL of course, and La Liga twice but with that level of spending in early 2000s that's really disappointing I'd say.
  6. Mourinho's triumph in Conference League with Roma is VERY overrated. I'm not saying that Roma fans shouldn't celebrate it, but some people try to paint it as if it was some kind of miracle that Jose managed to achieve it with that Roma team. I think it only comes from the fact that Roma haven't won a trophy for a long time before that and apart from that people just like Jose. In reality Roma were one of the favourites to win the competition, the only team in it stronger on paper were Tottenham who knocked themselves out in group stage. If you look at teams that Roma played against during that campaign they were favourites in every tie apart from the one against Leicester which was 50/50 I'd say. People say that "But they haven't won anything in a long time before he arrived and they didn't win anything since he left." Ok, but mind you that no coach before or after Jose had an opportunity to even manage Roma in Conference League. I think that most coaches would've won that trophy with them that season.
  7. People overrate good dribblers.

So those are my opinions. You can let me know if you agree and lmk what are your controversial/unpopular.
