Hi,
would be interesting to see some manager stats:
- top 10 managers with lowest mistakes. Mangers who:
- – put players in wrong position like a defender in an attacker position, or LC in a L position
- – best % of players traits being used correctly in matches across the season
- player development of youth to first team
-
best use of best players in team across season
- best finances (not including trades)
-
% ratio of best results by player wage
- % ratio best stats of player purchased by games played
-
best ratio of wins for each team class

Would be great to be able to invite National teams for a friendly match.

Just looking at Medium Ticker – this season’s International Friendlies. There are many countries where we play 3 matches this season.

Am curious if this is random or a new focus?

In 30 seasons, I’ve beaten Man U about 3 times.

Hi,
I just played an English Premier League game, and the red cards are wrong:
https://goalfc.net/match/report/9631951
Miguel Valerio and Youssef Hay received red cards. However, Miguel Valerio is still allowed to play the next game in the Premier League.

I assume receiving a red card stops a player from playing in the next game, is the above correct?

Hi,
https://goalfc.net/match/replay/9670729

The replay from this game shows my M RC guy lined up in the wrong spot and I lost 0-3 in the European Cup Final.

I already had Ginja at M C, but from the start of the game, Fernandes was in MC as well, not M RC.

I’ve changed the players now, will see how Portugal’s next match goes.

OK, cool. My guy Lucas has had 4 massive seasons with average rating, for heaps of matches ;-)

Hi,

I appreciate having many of my team members in many World Team of the Seasons.

I ask how the Captain is selected?

Lucas Roudaut has had the clear superior statistics over the past few seasons than anyone:

Higher average rating, achieving that higher rating across significantly more games. How is he not being chosen for Captain?

Is the game not taking into account multi-position, multi-side players correctly?

My current Analysis screen lists a player as having -3 “x” modifier when my team has the ball.

I can’t figure out why though. The player’s traits, his position, and both the team’s class are all in alignment.

He is playing at position LC D/+1 . We’re playing a team with the same Class.

Position: DA [swap]
Side: LC

His traits:
Pressure handling: Reasonable
Plays better against teams with a class worse than his team (+3)
Plays worse when only playing in the second half (-1)

I’ve moved him around, but the same problem occurs.

Hi,
how is a team’s position on their League Ladder determined when multiple teams have the same points?

Is it team with least GA gets the higher position on the Ladder?

If teams have same points, and same GA, what happens then? I had assumed the highest GF would get the higher position.

However, Brasil is currently different to deciding who gets the highest position with the same points:

Pos Team P W D L GF GA Pts 14 Boa Esporte 37 12 7 18 50 61 43 15 Coritiba 37 11 10 16 42 52 43 16 Santos 37 10 13 14 42 55 43

EL 6 Sunderland 37 14 12 11 54 42 54
EL 7 Leeds United 37 14 12 11 43 42 54
8 Arsenal 37 16 6 15 53 57 54

and yep, the Grand Total fields for the Goal Keepers are all skewed now.

My bad, though appreciate moving the Avg Rating column back to the normal place.

Hi,
prolly my fault, but the Grand Total field I think has swapped around totals:
https://goalfc.net/game/player_stats/1440983

The Grand Total field for Average Rating now appears to be in the wrong column, swapped with the Ave DP Grand Total field

Perhaps somehow related to the recent move of columns for the Goal Keeper Average Rating change?

Hi,
May need some advanced stat’s:

Clean Sheets
- GK may have played 35 minutes, so a clean sheet per total in game minutes played?

Saves and Deflections
- are also hard to use. Perhaps a ratio would work better? Something like:

Saves per shots taken on goal
Deflection per shot’s taken on goal

Hi,
On a goalkeeper statistics page, their Average Rating column is in a different spot to everyone else.
Can it be moved to the right, just to the left of the far Man of the match column?

I keep looking at the wrong spot.

Hi,

should goals scored in end of game penalty shootouts be recorded in the Goals (PK) Penalty column of our players statistics?

My Defender recently scored in the Champions League, but it’s not recorded in his stats page. I’m unsure if FIFA records anything.

To become player of the match, I think your formula is weighted higher towards accurate passes made instead of effective tackles.

Playing the game, making and effective tackle is many times harder than simply completing a pass.

Either way, Defenders are just as valid as the other positions, It would be great to have tackles in the Hall of Fame equal with goals and assists.

And I’d love to know how Nancy achieved so much dominance.

Appreciated :-)

I just found a spreadsheet I took from season 106. Smiled at seeing names of some core players,surprised to see a couple still playing.

Agreed it is tricky.

What would be the equivalent ranking of Australia and New Zealand?

Switzerland and Greece? Oceania is unlikely to ever win the World Cup irl or in game.

I can confirm that there are Australian’s playing football across Europe.

Would be great to see the occasional youth player from random countries. I know this would mess up their development and stats as their Australia would not appear in the World Cup or the current International Competitions.

I remember Mark Viduka and Harry Kewell playing for Leeds. Would love to find an Aussie to wear #10 for Liverpool :-)

This would be fantastic. Apply the same Hall of Fame template for each team.

The players we manager, especially those that are the backbone of our team across many seasons, are worthy to be remembered.

Additionally, we as Managers do change teams. It would be great for us to have a Hall of Fame players dedicated to the we have managed, across all of our time at each club we’ve managed.

National clubs Hall of Fame would be nice to apply too. I’d love to see how many Liverpool players are in England’s top 10 stats.

I’ve enjoyed looking through the Hall of Fame and seeing familiar names of Liverpool legends I’ve managed.

Where is the Player of The Season defined? Where do I find who it is over these past seasons?

Also, I noticed that there is no section specific for Defenders: Is it possible to add in “Average Tackles” to Player Record as well as the main Hall of Fame page.

Player Record
Matches Played:
Goals Scored:
Assists:
Average Tackles:
Average Rating:
Man of the Match:

Thank you,

Hi,
I just lost 0-6, no problem. My guy got an assist though.

I think it was from this:
54 min: Roudaut (a) passes the ball to Azevedo (a). Header dispute. Grange (h) heads the ball. Grange (h) scores (header).

Does this mean that my Defender gained an assist by his opponent scoring?

Hi,
I think I’ve had another penalty order issue:
https://goalfc.net/match/report/9037111

My 100 shooting player (Torrejon) was on the field, and is defined as the penalty taker in the formation (even though he starts on the bench and subs onto the field at 35 minutes).

At 55 minutes, a different player with 97 shooting (Ricaldi), took a penalty shot (he started and played the full game).

Is it because in my formation I defined a guy on the bench as the penalty taker?

Regards,

Ok, I can understand that. My post was a direct copy and paste from the negotiations page yesterday. So was surprised at the huge price jump.

My guy made World Team of the Season, so he did good.

Hi,
I’ve got a player earning $70,000.
Suggested wage is $96,103
I offered $100,000
but he refused and is asking for $127,000

Seems a huge difference from suggested. First I seen this, a $30,000 difference from recommend wage.

Hi,
https://goalfc.net/match/report/8996671
Antonio Santos was on the field, but did not get to shoot a penalty despite being top 3 in shooting.
Thanks,

Hi,
just played a game with a penalty shootout. The order of penalty takers was not in order of best shooting skill of players in the game at the time.

My guy with 97 shooting did not take a penalty, but some players with shooting skill in the 80s took penalty shots.

Is there a rule on who takes penalty shots?

Thanks,
