Picked out this beast of a young LB to be with my team as I jump up the leagues (I'm Eastleigh start in Vanrama Nation League) and he's just killing it.

We're in Sky Bet League 2 now, leading the league and people keep offering to buy him. I keep rejecting but then my board goes over my head and sells the loving kid for a potential 700k to Leicester.

The kid went from assist leader in Sky Bet League 2 average rating of 7.40+ to Leicester U23s average rating 6.4.

Fuckers!

Didn't expect these results:

2013 - 206
2014 - 190
2016 - 63
2017 - 108


Been thinking about picking up 2018 on sale, but it's looking like it's not all that different from 2017 at all.

I spent like 3 seasons just telling world class players to harden up and it worked and then all of a sudden this season they're all getting mad and not listening when I tell them to shut up. Admittedly my squad is massive, there's 5 or 6 players complaining about not getting enough game time, but if I sell any of them the rest of the team get up in arms about us selling a 'crucial first team player' ffs

Is there any word if 2021 will also launch on GamePass or will it take a few months for it to come out on there?

I'm guaranteeing they're waiting on pre-orders to kind of come in before they make that announcement. So probably wait until the end of the beta or Release date.

I dunno if it's in FM21 but from like FM18->FM20 or so you would maybe find one or two RB/LB with crossing over 14 with pace over 12.

It was either a bunch of fullbacks with the pace of a snail and defending 18 or wingbacks with the pace of a mad cheetah with the technical of a Sunday League hungover duck

I just want to say - it's refreshing to see a centre mid/attacking mid/winger regen become afflicted with the Useless trait that afflicts 80% of Fullbacks and Wingbacks in 5+ Year saves.

You know the ones, 17s in speed but 7s in techniques like technique, crossing, and dribbling or the ones with 18 crossing, 17 corners, and a pace and acceleration of a 1995 renault clio

In FM18 I made an Usain Bolt prototype with 20 Pace, 20 Accel, 20 NatFit, like 14 Agility and Balance, 15 Determination, and 1 for everything else, with I think like 13 Consistency. He was pretty good in League One, sucked in the Championship. I should run that test again in the FM21 match engine--I would bet he'll suck anywhere above semipro level.

why bother create a new player when you can just sign adama traoré and run the experiment with him.,

Wide centre backs have now officially been announced as a new role (with attacking duty available). They're unique under the hood as their positional familiarity is tied to two ratings rather than just one, using the avg. of a player's FB & CB values.

The Data Hub makes it a lot easier to see how opponents will perform and how to adjust your own tactics.

I keep reading people saying this but I kind of don't understand it - I know it's asking a lot for an effort post - but how do you make the data hub work for you?
The largest extent of what I get out of it is looking at whether to line up with my 5 3 2 or my 4 3 3 based upon their previous records against those records and whether or not to start the match/come back from halftime either more aggressive or cautiously (momentum graphs)

Is there anything in there deeper than that?
