Funkball Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Asides from the fact that Davie Weir is a physical powerhouse regardless of the fact he is nearly 40 and asides from the fact that he can still cut it in Europe's top competitions, SI still mess up Davie Weir in new FM releases. Why is this? He has a natural fitness rating of 10 in 09 although, as stated, he is a physical powerhouse and much to my chagrin I see that he is marked down as right footed? After starting his career in 92 you would think this would be sorted out by now. So SI I invite you to watch back any footage of Mr. Weirs career and tell me this: how often does he kick with his right foot and how often with his left? Davie is, and always has been, a left footed player (even FIFA got this wrong) Do us a favour... get it right in FM10. It could be his last season as a top player and justice is needed.

TomHAVFC Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Just because he puts himself about doesn't mean he has got good natural fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeahyeah Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Same with Pippo Inzaghi, he always has the stats of a Serie B player at best but hes still firing them in for Milan, even though theyre playing crap at the moment - b ut hes still had a few this season too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisso Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The Rangers Data Researcher is obviously the one you need to get in touch with, random blokes at SI won't deal with issues like this. But i do think you've overexaggerated his physical prowess and this is coming from an Everton fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougyMarshall Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 As a Rangers fan hes hardly cutting it in the CL... hes a liability and we should have been looking to use him as backup only this season, hes nowhere near fast enough anymore. They only thing keeping him useful is his vast experience that lets him anticipate where he needs to be so he gets a slight lead on young attackers etc... Make him Left footed, sure... but his physical stats match his ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkball Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 I don't feel that I exaggerated, it seems that people link fitness and pace and that is not the case (I'm pretty fast when running but not at all fit). as the good ol' Rangers fan pointed out he is only ever in the right place due to his wealth of experience but he is extremely fit. Any ideas how to get in contact with the Rangers researcher as I feel they have done a terrible job over the last 3 seasons (Naismith is better than the database allows as is Novo but Cousin and Darcheville seem to be excellent. :S this is not the case, I have seen them play from a few yards away. Also Steven Davis is a much better player than displayed.) and also any chance of a link for the correct forum to place this in or a mod move? Cheers all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I sold Kris Boyd at the beginning of every game in FM09. He was rubbish. Now I know he's not a skillful player but there is no doubting his goalscoring record. Finishing, composure, and other striking stats should be very high. Weir is under-rated too.
