SteveDM Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Every month when my board review comes round, they (or the fans) tell me they're disappointed in one of my strikers (who I signed on a free) and it's a bad piece of business. When he first joined I tried to play 4-3-3 with AMR / AML and my new guy as a lone striker. After 5 rather shocking games it was obvious that neither he nor any of my other strikers is a target man so I switched back to a regular 4-4-2 which seemed to help. He's now solid if not spectacular so his average rating is still lower than maybe it should be but the only trouble I have with that is he's my top scorer! On the other hand, I've got another striker who hasn't found the net in 28 hours of competitive football (great in the reserves of course) and they don't say a word about him. So, is it all about the ratings? Do they look at anything else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon07 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 28 hours of competitive football! lol! Thats some record! But yeah, that does seem a little strange. It must just be the ratings then they base it on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdamon1990 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 sometimes their reputation proceeds them. For example in my sheff wednesday save i signed marlon king on a free (desperate for goals). But my board disapproved and the media claimed it was a very risky signing. He got goals but the board and fans still hated him, so when an offer came in the chairman accepted. So, back to the question, other factors are considered, it isnt just about the ratings.

charlo116 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 the fans also don't like it if the player makes a comment about showing fans 'real football' or using the club as a stepping stone when they join or if you sign them from a rival club.

Magnakai Haaskivi Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Fans seem to LOVE players you sign on free transfers; I was lucky to snag Modric that way, and they loved him after like one friendly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
