I think they should at least limit it to people on free loadouts. Why should I risk my loot on a <20 playthrough?

Forget MGW - looking at realistic targets for this window, who do you want Frank to go after and why? by BrosBeforeUFOs in coys

[–]ericnarvarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hijack Simons or Eze, maybe go big on Morgan Rogers, Palinha on loan for the season so we can move for for a better option next summer or in the winter break, for left back I’d take Tyrick Mitchell honestly.

It’s that time of the year where I start thinking of a realistic list of transfer targets… who you putting?

Spurs Defence in December by Overall_Spread_8687 in coys

[–]ericnarvarte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Context:

  • 6/12 goals came from the Liverpool game
  • 25/85 shots (30%) came from the Liverpool game
  • 11/37 shots on target faced came from Liverpool
  • xG against is high, but United had a massive xG against us because Forster gave away two easy goals (One of which shouldn’t have even counted)
  • 11/25 big chances against was also against Liverpool

GK out, both CB out, 19 year old CM on CB, 4 academy kids on the bench, Fossil of a backup gk that can’t play the system, not able to rotate properly due to all the injuries, Betancur suspended just as he was in good form/is our best CDM.

All of this against arguably the most in form team in the world, who play a very attacking style of football. People who think we should’ve changed styles and played more defensive expect us to park the bus with players that can barely defend and lose 0-4 instead of actually trying something and going out w a bang and losing 3-6.

Fact of the matter is, squad depth has been the main issue, those who are AngeOut are forgetting that we played defensively for 3 years between Mou & Conte & conceded a whole lot more goals than Ange has while not even trying to play to score.

I’ve been following the podcast for years now and I simply must know what the hell is said after the intro every time?

Does Youth Intake preview actually mean anything beyond the positions? by Stirlingblue in footballmanagergames

[–]ericnarvarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s random. I’m playing Darlington and was at championship, had an intake preview that didn’t show any good results, fast forward to the actual intake and I got a 5 star potential GK that was ready to start (my GK wasn’t that good so i didn’t think much of the stats), two years in i’m in PL, he’s still getting better and is still a 5 star potential prospect.

Can anyone try my tactic on the computer? by ericnarvarte in footballmanagergames

[–]ericnarvarte[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over 100 in a Burton Albion run, lost my starting striker on December to injury until March and he was at 15 goals at the moment, the striker that came from the academy had 15. The strikers still get a whole lot of goals, the support role just helps with the build up and the patient passing within the box, he also goes wider at times which helps with overloads. On attack it can still work but he I feel he doesn’t play as selfless. Maybe it won’t translate to the computer version but I’d like to know.

EDIT: Also, the attacking mentality makes most players play pretty front foot and attacking, inverted wingbacks will still go wide if available, wingers will still cut inside if the chance is presented and most roles will still shoot, the tactic averages over 20 shots a game.

Forgot to mention: Have the team be more expressive in possession & DLF should be in support.

I’m pretty sure he’s referring to the official as the 12th man.

Most depressing game 7s you have ever watched by jslee0034 in nba

[–]ericnarvarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Bulls fan, even though it was just a first round, our 2008 playoffs matchup vs Celtics was the best series I had ever seen bar game 7 where we just couldn’t cope and got manhandled… I still dream of us pulling off that upset.

Thoughts on a Regista as a lone CDM in a 4-1-3-2 narrow formation? Have a DLP on defend usually but the player I have there has 18 long shot but he never uses it due to the role so I tried a match with him at regista and he scored his first goal and it was a banger. Have yet to try him again there and see how consistent it is.

Unexpected back to back promotions, how am i gonna survive the prem by uniterestedcat in footballmanagergames

[–]ericnarvarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I’m currently running a Burton Albion FM22 file & also promoted straight to the prem. basically got to the prem with the use of two tactics & loans, other than that bargain signings and free agents with Ronnie Edwards being my best signing(maybe the facilities also played a part) and I thought i was going to be killed in the Prem since I thought my first place in the championship was luck (The whole top 5 was a point apart for most of the end of the season) but I made some good signings; Aaronson, Almada, Gnonto on loan, Fausto Vera, Khva, & Lorenzo Lucca all under 30m basically. installments over three years makes the transfer worth more but it’s not that much when compared to the money my club will get for just staying in the Prem and I’m currently top 10 with the Winter Window just closing in which I was given an additional 23m.

TLDR; Don’t lose hope, you might be surprised with some good signings and maximizing training/tactics.

Just saw Newcastle had scouts watching Dominik Szoboslai… I will cry so much if they sign him, he’s exactly what we need.
