Whirlwind Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I play a 3-5-2 wingback formation with varying instructions, but never ever switch from this shape. 7th season now in my current save and have noticed that every season the media links me with a dozen players I've never heard of. Here's the problem: they're all wingers. I have conclusively figured out why. The game links you with players who play in positions that are LACKING in your squad. With complete disregard to the tactics you have never deviated from in 6 - 7 seasons. Brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohkey Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I notice this too. I play a 4-1-2-1-2 diamond and I constantly get linked with wingers, I have no use for A/MRLs. I'm in my 6th season and the first season was the only time I used wingers at all, and that was just because I was wasn't able to unload Joe Cole, Malouda, Kalou, etc before my first season started. Last year my youth squad's best regen was, unfortunately, an AMR who didn't have any ability at another position, so I had to adjust my youth team to accommodate him...but why would I want a player like that in my youth squad to begin with?

Wee Lad Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 You might want to invest in a good collection of Where's Waldo books. Perhaps a Sherlock Holmes novel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misodoctakleidist Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I get this too. The media refuse to accept that teams might deviate from 4-4-2 just like in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiesenior Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ever since I had my youth facilities upgraded to state of the art all i get is crap, no matter the position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik86 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Had a similar thing on one of my saves... Very irritating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgar555 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hardly the games fault that the media are rubbish, 99% of the rumored transfers they print are absolutely fabricated nonsense. I think its realistic and just ignore them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Very annoying, but it does happen in real life. Of the 'big four' only Man Utd really ever play with wingers, yet all 4 are regularly linked with them, as the media seem to assume the reason you don't play a formation with wingers is simply because you don't have any. Ribery, Capel, Quaresma, McGeady.. etc, all linked all the time. Those they do sign are rarely played as "wingers" either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlo116 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I keep getting linked with strikers because i play a 4-2-3-1 with only three strikers in my first team. The thing is i have a few wingers who can fill in up front as well and my second choice striker isn't rated highly by any of my coaches. All the coach reports i get on him rate him as a 1 and a half or 2 star striker whos already at his potential. However last season he scored 17 goals across all competitions with something like 25 apps, mainly off the bench including a brace in a 3-2 win over my rivals on hs debut. The fans love him i love him but my coaches and the media don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
v.ray Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 In my save, 9/10 transfer rumours for my club is a for a new GK. I have a quality GK, but my reserve is pretty poor - that's probally the reason. I must admit it get's very annoying, but i guess it would be true irl...

The Lambs Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I also play with out any wingers and I don't have an official right full back. I too get a constant stream of Wingers offered to me. I also seem to be seeing a larger proportion of wingers and right sided defenders turning up in my youth facility. Probably a good thing though, because when patch 10.3 comes out and the fix crosses, we will all be needing them again..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
