Play Up Pompey! Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I think Influence affects who is good as captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edle Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 influence, determination, and length of time at the club are the three main factors i assess when picking a captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Main: Decisions, Influence, 24+ In Age. Secondary: Determination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmeee17 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 What about Off the Ball? Largely unimportant as that only affects movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 As others have said influence is the main ability. I also consider time at club, determination, teamwork, work rate & personality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jops14 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I base it on Age, Time at club and Influence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrDon Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 The ones listed already are the most important but it think natural fitness should be considered. You'll want your captain to play most games and not need resting all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Mon Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Major factors - Influence, determination, time spent at club. Also, make sure you check his personality. You generally don't want a controversial or temperamental captain. Minor factors - Natural fitness (to ensure your captain is present as often as possible on the pitch), teamwork (duh), has your club among his favoured ones.

Op Telic Was BLANK Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 ^^ All of the above and 'language'. If he's non-native to the club's nation....I have to have him speaking the local language before he's Captain/Vice Captain. I waited nearly 2 years for my Croatian 'natural leader' (Influence = 18) DC to learn even basic German....as soon he did he slapped in a transfer request. Little Toerag.

02BAGUNNER Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 What difference does the captain make to the team? Is it mainly a cosmetic thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmeee17 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 What difference does the captain make to the team? Is it mainly a cosmetic thing? No, it has everything to do with your match performance. A poor captain will fail to inspire his team, hence leading to a poor performance and a poor result. Of course, the severity of its effect varies from game to game, but you'd generally be better off with a good captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkermush Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I always look for the usual Influence, Determination. But i also look at work rate too, i like to have a Captian with high work rate and lead by example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polskaGOLA Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ok, so I have done a little testing, and I noticed that consistency (a hidden modifier) is important too, as an inconsistent captain who has big games occaisionaly breaks squad harmony(or whatever you call it) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13xForever Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Apart from the obv stats. Captain has got to be really at the club over atleast 2 seasons and atleast a pretty exp player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirki88 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I usually look at, in order: Influence Teamwork Work Rate Importance to the team Then, depending on age of the best guys, I'll look at their personality. Some players perform better being captain and is more eager to stay when they're captain, while some just stop being good at all when they're made captain.

jmonfu Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Dear All I have a dilemma. Last year I was in C1/A with Verona, and I had a captain who almost played all the matches. Now I am in Serie B, and I am noticing that he is quite slow for playing in Serie B, he is 33 and I am preferring another 2 defenders instead of him. However he is still club captain. Should I leave him as captain not playing, or should I promote the vice-captain. Another thing is that i have made some better aquisitions where the vice-captain is playing and he is not a regular anymore! So basically the captain is not playing anymore, and the vice is not a regular. Can you guys advice me what I should do? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabregas18 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Influence, determination and experience. Also loyalty, and I want my captain to have been at the club for some years . jmonfu I'd leave him as captain, and then when he retires you can change. If he has been at the club for a long time, and been captain for a long time, then some players may get unhappy if you replace him. Hope I helped .

jmonfu Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks mate. So will he still hold player meetings and all? I see it a bit awkward though having a club captain on the reserves bench. Having said that, I do not think a lot of players who have been at the club for more than 3 years would be suitable for captain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabregas18 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If he is well respected among the squad and have high influence he should hold meetings, because then it's a bigger chance that the meetings work out well. I'm managing Ajax now, and I made Suarez arrange a meeting and it failed . If you have bought anyone with good captain skills, though you could promote him and make your old captain vice-captain for a year or so, and the replace him there too .

jmonfu Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 ok so I will try and get him to hold a meeting and see how it goes. If it fails, then I will promote someone else. Cannot afford to have a bad meeting though, already in dire straits, 4 losses in the first 5 games. Serie B is though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabregas18 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Whats his influence and determination stats? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmonfu Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well i do not know from here because I am not on the game. His name is Comazzi, a real Verona player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabregas18 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I checked him out in the editor, and he has some good mental stats. His determination is good (15) and his influence is okay (13). These might have changed, since I don't know how many seasons in you are, but he looks okay. If you have better, I'd replace him though . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmonfu Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Im in season 2014 now, so 4 seasons. If I change him though, the morale of the team will drop since he has been club captain for the 4 years I have been managing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
