griders Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Personally I dont think that Flair has anything to do with running at people, more to do with how they would go about it i.e tricks, twists and turns. The runs would be down to, imo, Decisions/Work Rate/Determination/Team Work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted October 22, 2010 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2010 For FM purposes, it's the ability/desire to attempt the unexpected. Not whether they can pull it off, but how likely they are to try something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Flair - A natural talent for the creative and occasional unpredictability. A player with a lot of flair will be one of the key attacking components in any team but at the same time may need tactical restraint to get the best out of him. Flair and Creativity work well together. http://www.sega.com/fm10/manual/?q=books/1112-mental Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoham Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Look at Bale's positions screen. One of his PPMs is 'runs with ball down left'. That along with his pace, acceleration and dribbling, and other attributes, will mean he runs at players (and manages to beat them) quite often.

Brian Shanahan Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I hate cocky people like you. Like who? If it's Cougar, he's not being cocky he's just pointing out that the OP is spamming a thread about something already answered for him. He could also point out that the OPs use of text speak is banned on the forum. If it's the OP he doesn't come off as cocky, a bit misinformed and bad at spelling buty not cocky.

Andrew j F Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Tactical restraint is your friend, too much flair is ronaldo before fergie had to tell him to pass more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom14 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Tactical restraint is your friend, to much flair is ronaldo before fergie had to tell him to pass more. So Ronaldo no longer has flair? Flair is the ability to pull off the unexpected. Being able to dribble isn't flair. It's dribbling. Ronaldo can still dribble, yet he can still pull off the unexpected with his tricks. Therefore he has not changed as a footballer, it's just the manager's tactics which have changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew j F Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 He doesn't have as much as he did when he first went to united, he rarely passed, Dribbling has NOTHING to do with having the desire to round a player after player, lmao. Tricks and running at players are both flair in real life, but without flair ronaldo and messi and co wouldn't be the same as they are today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom14 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Dribbling has NOTHING to do with having the desire to round a player after player, lmao. That has nothing to do with flair either. Ronaldo still has as much flair as he did when he first went to Man Utd. Of course he does. He can still pull it off. It's just whether the manager wants the player to spend his time doing tricks round a player 3-4 times, or whether he wants him to be more direct. The manager says how often to pass. Fergie telling the player to pass more doesn't mean Ronaldo still can't do unexpected tricks to go past a player, which is what flair is. Therefore he still has the same amount of flair but his 'creative freedom' is lower, i.e. do less tricks. In your world if a manager told Chris Morgan to start taking players on would he then have flair? Just because Gareth Bale is good at taking players on (i.e. dribbling), doesn't mean he has flair.

Tom14 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Wow. You made a lot of assumptions there which are pretty wide of the mark. You know nothing about me. You can swear and argue all you want, the fact is you still don't know what flair is. Oh, and your quite unstable. I particularly liked the "you defend it with your life", and also "flair is desire". Haha. Yes, I am the one who is thick, and can't spell, and doesn't understand what a conversation is. I'm pretty sure you made half of that up.
