hey sup mate? : ) dont be bad to me, u got to agree that they both are really good :(
Parent
Agreed witsel is very good, defour is a fucking judas! U know he came from our youth, then he used some glitch or something rly stupid thing called Wet of '78(law of '78), cancelled his contract and went to our archrival cuz he didnt get his transfer to ajax when he wanted :/

to illustrate: it would be like fabio coentrao gets a good offer from chelsea or something and he wants to go but benfica offer him better contract and everything good to stay, but he cancels his contract giving you like a few 100.000 euros and he goes to play for porto
Parent
didnt knew that about defour. thats stupid, in here we have a similar case with c.rodriguez fucking pig he's always fucked in Lisbon now :D tho, in the game they are rly good :P
Parent
yes i could imagine because C.rodriguez was in Benfica for 2 years, his contract went over and he signed for Porto :@
Parent
playing/living in portugal must be frustrating o_0
why is that so?
Parent
what kind of formation is that
4-3-3
a defensive
a box to box
a playmaker

i play with 4-3-1-2 or 4-1-3-2 it depend of the opponents
Parent
You sould add IsraelEran Zehavi soon :)
ill try thx!
Parent
In real life you'd get fucked in the arse by every team you play against with this formation.

Also, looks really stupid.
Quotegame=reality


:D
Parent
A smarter person would've understood I was criticising the lack of realism in this game when tactics like that are succesful.
Parent
If you want realism then go and try coaching real team. Games are about fun, not reality.
Parent
And some people like A BIT (just a little, not much) realism in their games. Realism and fun don't cancel each other out, why bother using real players at all then?
Parent
And FM has this piece of realism. But still, it's just a game and not every tactic which works in real life will work in FM and the same in the other way.
Parent
And I understand that, but seriously, LOOK AT THAT TACTIC!!
Parent
Indeed, it looks stupid, but tactical pitch in FM never been good at freedom of positioning players :D In FIFA Manager it looks much better
Parent
Like any other game is 100% realistic. I don't play ET to become a soldier nor do people play FM to become a manager, it's just a game.
Parent
Yes, I'm saying that this game should be 100% realistic. You got the message.
Parent
Gaming - Serious business.
Parent
also ur not correct. they are fixed because it is a picture. defour defends witsel is a box to box that means he make all the way in the field. aimar is a playmaker helping the 3 strikers. whats so confuse?
Parent
In the 2019 season with everton you wouldnt recognize any of my player so would be pointless :D
interesting tactic you got there,
is srna as heavily overpowered in your game, as it is in mine?

and nice sub-goalkeeper :D
Srna is the best player for the right side :P
do you know him?
Parent
I sure do know him, tried to contract him, but unfortunately he wasn't interested in signing any contract i would offer him.
I'm managing a sub-top club in the dutch league
Parent
and hes kinda expensive. try van der Wiel
Parent
Year 2024 with FC Chelyabinsk in Russia. A real challenge :)
How long did it take you to promote? Just started with Luch Energiya, but it's not easy finding Russians who add something extra. Been scouring the stans in the hopes of finding a few gems, but pickings are slim.
Promotion won't be for this season I fear.

One day though, I'll be hosting Barcelona and beat them!
Parent
Holiday a year and pick a team that has just been promoted into Russian First Division. Took me 3 years to gain promotion, and 7 years after that to win the Russian Premier League.

All the Russian talent is usually at CSKA, Spartak & Zenit so it's hard to find any for yourselves which is why when I started I had quite an old team. Only now starting to get the good youngsters and Russian players that are into/coming into their prime!

Still waiting for that one awesome regen of mine to come through the system.
Parent
Haha, I experienced the same in previous games when it came to awesome regens from your own youth. Every team seemed to be getting one in a few years, except me.

Have you won the CL or something? And do you limit yourself to certain things, like only Russians in my team, only buying players my scouts brought to my attention, etc?
Parent
No restrictions although my personal aim is to have an all Russian team. Not won the CL yet, the best teams in that are still miles ahead of me :(

I can buy who I want, just can't use Genie Scout!
Parent
Can't imagine a game without Genie Scout, I've grown so used to it.
Parent
Indeed, made it very difficult at the start. You start with no staff and the staff you do get are really bad, so they think every player is the best player ever even though there stats are aweful :D
Parent
nP for CR7
