Hi,

I manager a mid level ranked country National squad. When I replace players, would be handy to have more information onscreen to be able to make better decisions:

- country rank the player plays in
- Average Rating
- main statistics from the current/previous year:
– Goals
– Tackles
– Assists
- Traits, including the stupid ones

I seem to be going backwards and forwards, and find it inefficient to work out who to move into the team. The process is:
- find the worst guy in a position
- click replace
- select a new guy
- try to find him in the players screen
- check the average rating, see how bad it is
- open up his stats
- work out his country rank
- decide if his stats are good enough
- work out if the player traits are shitty
and repeat the entire process a bunch of times

Just thinking the replace player list screen could add some extra information to make it more efficient.

Thanks,

With another Liverpool player in the World Team of the Season, and now that he is retiring, I would love to have link to a Liverpool Hall of Fame Page.

Will be great to go somewhere and see the great Liverpool players of the past, and their statistics, awards, history, etc.

I guess other teams can have their own Hall of Fame too. I suppose…

Yep, I have assumed what Dimitri said. However, letting me send a scout to go check out a dude, on my team or any team, would be a great start.

Once again, Liverpool’s finest, Matteo Giovannetti, is the deserving Keeper on the World Team of the Season!

Without Matteo, Liverpool would barely be mid level in the Premier League. Throughout his career, he has dominated in the most adverse of circumstances. Matteo has constantly held up the Liverpool Defensive unit, the Midfield and me the coach. Simultaneously Matteo has repeatedly given the Strikers a chance to make a difference in each and every game, including receiving Assist statistics. Matteo does it all!

Thank you yet again from the entire Liverpool family. Matteo’s Liverpool Hall of Fame credentials are already set, and I plan on convincing him to play another year!

Hi,

if I employ scouts, would be great to use them to give me accurate information, lest what is the point of having them?

Adding the ability to provide more information for managers is a good thing. Yes, it adds to the workload of being a manager, but I prefer to have the opportunity to be information rich.

If I get a youth player who looks like someone to retain in the squad, I currently have no idea about his secondary stats potential. Seems weird, as I can use a scout to tell me about secondary stats.

But being able to direct my scouts to look at a certain player, team, league, country, rank of country, etc seems fair. All I hear in this game is ‘its what happens in real life’ when I complain about getting stupid, unnecessary negative traits on players, so making the managers ability to focus scouts like real life seems reasonable.

Why do i know less about my players potential stats than i do players i can scout on other teams?

I only see my players main position potential stat, whereas i could set my scouts to search for players across multiple potential stats.

Also, why cant i send a scout to look at a particular player, rather than just let them go randomly?

Can i get more scout search options? Search for good only, search for not having particular negative traits, search for players in particular country ranking levels?

Regards,

The substitution rule was Wuttke to sub in at half time at 45min mark.

Yes, I understand exactly what you are saying. However, what I am saying is:

In any match, after minute 45, replace the player on zone D, side RC and mentality 1 by “player x”

and in the match:

46 min: “player x” (h) replaces “player y” (h)

I have seen variants of up to 3 minutes difference. Therefore, the substitutions I made at 55min have occurred at 58 min mark.

This is not consistent, but its enough that some of my players have missed receiving the benefits of playing a match.

Previously I’ve asked about substitutions, and was told they happen when scheduled.

I’ve noticed that has changed.

Some subs occur a few minutes late, which is a problem. Some of my players have now played under 35 minutes and thus get no bonus for the game.

Is this a thing?

Hi,
just saw a team that has 1.2mil in wages for just their top 6 players. Whoever the manager was, is gone, just wondering what happens to balance this up?

Hi,
should a Player History also show their loan periods?
Thanks,

Bad at saving penalty kicks. Really? Is this necessary?

Sure would be great if I could use Ruby Points to change traits.

Hi,
just wondering why Primorac Stobrec used their worst Goalkeeper in their last 2 Champions League finals games?

They had 2 keepers rated much higher on the squad, one of which played all the previous Champions League games.

This fail move handed finals advancement to Napoli far too easy.

As a byproduct, my awesome Goalkeeper that I loaned to them, did not get to play 2 Champions League games.

Hi,
its a terrible day when I see a message with “Player Trait Developed”
Would ease the burden if you also added which trait was developed in the email.
I can never remember what they had previously.

Yea, He was a Star, but went to an A. Then back to a Star again.

I know my keeper is a star. He is old and lost 1 skill point in a small skill. He lost his star!

Amazingly, after his next Champions League game, he gained 2 skill points. He got his star back!

Hi,
I just offered 30mil for a 9.3 mil player and failed, the other club said “was not interested in your offer”

How much should I have offered?

Thanks,

Thank you for that.
So what you are saying is, players need to:
- rate over 8.5 in games to build points towards the next class
- have hidden attributes
- be the best at their position for your end of season calculations
- not have many other stars in your nation

So is not so much that i can control.

Hi,
how do the players develop into stars? After watching my teams for many seasons, I still do not see a pattern.

Players who average over 8.00 for the season arrive the next year with no stars. Players who seemingly do not stand out as the best on the team, nor at their position, get stars. Some players lose all of theirs during their prime.

Also, how do players develop from Class A to Class S?

Thanks,

Negative traits take a negative hit on my happiness. I’ve posted about this before, but paying heaps of money for a great player, only to see them develop a terrible negative trait is devastating.

I do not understand why everyone needs an extra negative thing taken out of them. It is not necessary.

Develop positive traits only is great, such a boost.

Passing Style in Player Tactics – what is more effective?
I mean, defenders are great tacklers, but not as good passers. So, should they be given a SHORT Passing Style, to ensure great accuracy?
However, being so close to goal means that any failed passes could easily result in an opposition shot on goal. Therefore, should the be given a LONG Passing style to ensure the ball is moved far away?

I found it difficult to determine how successful changes in player tactics actually are. Looking at match reports and player statistics in-game is difficult to see any patterns for success when varying my approach. I consistently lose regardless of my approach.

I am sure I could be doing this better, but I am curious as to your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

This player is unlikely to reach his full potential before his 30s

that is one of the worst messages in the game.

Hi,
wondering if this is a new thing, but why are the players I want to buy, all signing a 1 year contract and preventing me from buying them?

I know I need to wait 72 turns, which I did. I tried to buy, denied, I shoulda offered more I guess. Then a few turns later, they screw me buy signing a 1 year contract, even thought they had a year or more left on their existing contract.

Is this a thing now?

Yes, Modena put their strikers in M +1 positions and win most of the time.

I beat them 3 to 2, and 1 of their goals was from a Liverpool player loaned to them.

Liverpool achieved its greatest victory in recent history by winning the Euro League.

Despite an unorthodox approach, the opposition dominated shots on goal, but Liverpool put in 3 goals to win in regulation.

Barreto’s hat-trick will long be remembered as the greatest club game in the modern era. Whilst we all celebrate now, we look forward to improving our league record next season.

We have won the Europa League. We are extremely pleased with the title! Well done
