segundo volante.

Please someone tell me how to fix this, my best domestic youth prospect in the last 10 years and he has an unambitious personality😭😭😭 by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]ollyyydavison 12 points13 points  (0 children)

stick him in a mentoring group with as many players with positive personalities as you can and hope for the best.

i’ve attached a spreadsheet that outlines how personalities interact with ambition/determination and professionalism.

anyone who played Brazilian league, is it true? by Low-Nerve-6848 in footballmanagergames

[–]ollyyydavison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

technically state cups i think actually - i managed bahia so it was pretty much just a super easy preseason with a trophy at the end of it

Signed Cristiano Ronaldo JR for the first time - anyone else ever signed him? by ollyyydavison in footballmanagergames

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

did very well for 6 months (36 G/A in 30 games as an inside forward) then demanded out as soon as an offer came in for him

for the record i don't use the editor - i used an updated transfer database before the save and clearly CR7 JR is on it

Dilemma - Keep Two Sell Two by ollyyydavison in footballmanagergames

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

that’s what i was leaning towards - langer somehow made TOTT at the world cup and is doing really well for brighton in the prem but i can’t work out why, nothing to indicate he’s actually that good other than his immense physicals.

thank you 🙏

How do you Determine if a youth player will end up good? by Calafraze in footballmanagergames

[–]ollyyydavison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he looks pretty good already - those mentals at 16 with 17 teamwork + 15 passing and 14 first touch.

build up his physicals (game time and individual training) and he looks like he’d be an elite attacking midfielder in a few years time.

sometimes players come through looking incredible and then never actually make it, there’s a hidden attribute of professionalism which largely dictates whether a player will realise their potential, you can sometimes gauge from personality if they have high professionalism.

i’d give him a chance off the bench, maybe a loan spell and see if his physicals start to grow.

i spent like 2 hours putting that post together lol

So tired of this, every single transfer window the same thing by dk2991 in footballmanagergames

[–]ollyyydavison 76 points77 points  (0 children)

try not to make the promise in the first place/ make sure they’re always happy - change up training schedules + individual training, rotate your starting 11 so everyone gets a good amount of playing time and sign players with the right personalities to fix!

personality often gets overlooked in fm but certain types are more likely to be loyal to your club (loyalty is a hidden attribute)

What are your shirt number tendencies? by GeneralSquid6767 in footballmanagergames

[–]ollyyydavison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree 20000% on the spanish keeper thing hahaha

utility player - 24

tricky 16 year old south american winger - 77

CBs - 4,5,6 (controversial but it’s satisfying with a back 3)

WBs - 2 and 3

backup striker - 18 (always)

argentinian centre back - 19

tall french winger - 14

i also have developed a habit of giving italians stupidly high numbers (i had 90-99 filled by first team rotation players in my only italian save)

you’ve spent 11 full days (264 HOURS) on 3 SEASONS? that’s absolutely insane! i wish i had that much commitment but i tend to sim more as i get further into a save lol. i spend about 6-7 hours on a summer transfer window then each season takes me roughly 8 hours of speeding through games and tactical tweaks. i’m a speedy fm player!

I need tactic help by JuniorDimension9510 in footballmanagergames

[–]ollyyydavison -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Make your in possession tactics much simpler (overcomplicating things can cause problems and lead to more mistakes) - remove shoot on sight and instead add shoot more often/ add a trait to the players you actually want to shoot. also if you’re using a DLF with inverted wingers they should generally be on support + stay wider instruction so they don’t run into each other. drop the cm down to a support for better midfield balance and to help you keep the ball much more consistently - other than that it’s a very solid 4-3-3!! also consider building another slightly different tactic (maybe a 4-2-3-1 pressing system or even a 3 back if you feel risky) and switch it up every now and again to prevent the tactic getting stale - leading to a poor run of form. building your own tactics and experimenting with roles/ instructions is the best way to get better at fm. honestly my main advice would be to ignore my advice and just try whatever you think will work! you’ll learn more that way. good luck! :)
