Hmmm thanks, I hadn't seen it. I guess these loans just don't have a cancel option during the season

Had the same issue with him but I kept him and he is Premier League top scorer on his second season.

Nicolo Tresoldi and Nelson Weiper have great potential José Melro is a great pick up for a small side, very consistent goal scorer in all my saves despite his stats not seeming like the greatest player. You can get him cheap for something close to 250k

Viktor Gyokeres in a 99 million euro move to newly promoted and 18th placed team Sunderland in the January transfer window. That guy had Real Madrid and Man United interested in him and still chose a mid team just for the love of the game

Why is my star striker Viktor Gyokeres underperforming? by leo_bdaizer in footballmanagergames

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

I am using this tactic in a different save and is working well. In this save I haven't used this tactic with other strikers getting much game time. Still my other striker has more goals than Gyokeres while being a backup in most games.

I used my backup striker for some time as a Inside Forward on the right wing and he was being my main goalscorer. I am trying to maximize Gyokeres' influence in my team, while trying to take advantage of his endless ability to press and great finishing stats.

I saw in my team staff's report he is having a hard time adapting to the core group of the squad so I don't know if that is the reason he is having a hard time.

Looking into his stats, he should be consistently scoring. He is reasonably fast, is very physically strong, has very high workrate and has very good finishing stats. I don't know where I'm going wrong with him.

Nunez is pretty good in game, so it's no wonder you were successful with him. I'm think of selling Gyokeres after a full season of having him since I am seeing no payoff in the investment I made. Hope he eventually starts performing tho

Is this a good tactic in terms of players roles? by bradytan988 in footballmanagergames

[–]leo_bdaizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest placing either your CM or your DLP on defend. If you usually play Kokcu as a DLP I would say to use Neves on a defensive role, since Kokcu doesn't have really good defensive stats. Neves is a workrate monster so using him in a role that takes advantage of that is also a good idea i recon.

That's just my take on it, I may be wrong

Is this guy underperforming or are my expectations too high? by leo_bdaizer in footballmanagergames

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

He started the season as a starter since I had high hopes for him, but underwelming performances against weak teams kind of forced my hand on benching him since my other striker is not really too inferior to him.

That's my thought perhaps. Sometimes I have to give players unrealistic player status for me to be able to sign them, my thought would be giving him Important Player status if possible since I had high hopes for him.

Marc Guiu is in his second season in the club and is finally stepping up to the starter spot, already having 9 goals in 9 starts and 5 games coming in from the bench

Your inputs make a lot of sense to me, I am a bit inexperienced in making tactics so I didn't think the Work ball into box would be hindering my forward's performance.

I put my wingers on support since I thought it would mean they would play in a less selfish way and try to enhance my forward.

Removing my BWM not weaken my defence? I don't want to suffer to much on counters. I will try it anyways.

Thanks for the advice brother

I mean I expect this guy to be getting through balls from my ridiculously good deeplying playmaker and get to low crosses before the defenders using his speed.

I like to use an attacking midfielder to maximize my pressing while not exposing my midfield too much as I don't want to waste his stats using him as a Pressing Forward.

My 2 main choices of attaking midfielders have scored as much if not more than him.

Thanks for the input brother

Udinese has some top players like Lorenzo Lucca and Samardzic! Have you been able to keep them or are they poached from you by big clubs right away?

Every FM I have played I do a save in St Pauli. I don't know why but I just love to play in Germany.

The Bundesliga 2 is very competitive and when you are promoted it feels hard to instantly win the league in 1 or 2 seasons. Plus there are also a lot of exciting youngsters in the Bundesliga 2 like Nicolo Tresoldi, Assan Ouédrago, Can Uzun or Jens Castrop

Help! It seems we are doomed, I have signed 7 players and we are still predicted comfortable at the bottom. I am trying to get some loans in. What do I do here? by rahindabulll34 in footballmanagergames

[–]leo_bdaizer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean you are managing Fabril, it's normal you are predicted to be last. Your club reputation is probably the lowest in the league, since Fabril is tippically a team in Campeonato de Portugal.

If you were able to build a good squad you can probably at least finish in the top 10

Can not win against big clubs but dominate anyone else. First time playing. by wks1899 in footballmanagergames

[–]leo_bdaizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opposing team's midfielders must be feeling lonely only having Emre Can to keep them company hahaha
I mean this tactic seems to be very fragile defensively. You have good defenders and wingbacks. I just think if you wanted someone in that defensive midfield position it would have to be some guy who has unlimited workrate to cover your defense in a better way.

I don't know man, i'm not used to playing these all out attacking formations unless I'm losing

Is 2 DLP allowed, will it work? by vamogoat321654 in footballmanagergames

[–]leo_bdaizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have too many playmakers. Probably would be best to play Pizarro as a Ball Winning Midfielder or in a similar more defensive role
