MidnightSoul Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 What determines a player at a club to gain one of those status, aside from length at the club? I find that only my attacking forces get those status, while my entire backline is being ignored. All my long serving strikers, AMC, AMR, AML has become legends. Only 1 of my MC become a Favored Personnel and I don't even use him much. But none of my defenders are even on the list at all. Of course, those striker are scoring goals, winning matches but I believe my defenders are doing their job as well. 8 league goals allowed two seasons ago, and 7 league goals allowed last season worth mentioning and their overall rating are all above 7.5 with my DC captain getting close to 8. The only exception is Casillas become a legend but he's already close to it anyway IRL. And all of those defenders has been at my clubs since they were 16-19 y/o and they are close to 30 now. Worst of all, one of my new striker is already a favored personnel while he's only been at the club for like 6 seasons, and just break into first team regular last year. Is it because the fans just don't like them? Or is it because of some hidden attributes and their personality? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyWangYang Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I had my wingback score a wondergoal against my club's arch rivals and get placed on the favoured personell list. But it does seem a bit too easy to get on a favoured personell list just because a player scores a few goals. The likes of Lukaku and Babacar end up as favorites within the first season when I buy them. And if a favoured personell leaves the club, he is often scrapped from the list immediately.

tim justice Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 i had a 20 year old winger i had brought a few months previously, come on and score at 80 mins and score a hattrick winning me the game 3-1, he got added to everyone's favoured person list and the club's as well.

MidnightSoul Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 I guess it all comes down to scoring goal to get those status... It's sad that the defensive work is getting ignored.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouds Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Can't just be scoring goals. Sagna and Clichy are both legends with me, while the likes of Walcott and Arshavin isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightSoul Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Those are the existing players, and are they already on the favored personnel list at the beginning of the game?? With new regens, I can't get any of my defenders to even get on the favored personnel list, let alone icons and legends... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnriqueZove Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Same here; its really difficult for regens to become icon.... In my save all the icons and legends are the attacking players , none are defenders or even keepers... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouds Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Well, I've got three regens on my favored personell screen: 1 ST, 1 MC and 1 DC. I've also got 1 regen on my Icons list: 1 D R/L Seems pretty normal to me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnriqueZove Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 well my striker regen is on the favoured personnel list... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouds Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 One thing worth mentioning though: All the players I mentioned won the "fans player of the year"-award, so I guess that counts for someting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I can't remember all the ways that players can get on the favoured personell list, by they are slanted towards attacking players. For example, as has been said, scoring a winner against a rival can move players onto/up the list, and this is something defenders are less likely to do. You can get defenders on there, it's just more difficult. The best way is by publicly praising their form when they're playing well, if the fans agree then they can get on the list.

Canabary Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I have a few defenders on favoured personell, but Mario Balotelli (signed 2 seasons ago) just made it into "Icons" after scoring 60 goals in 58 matches, while my outstanding centreback (regen) isn't really getting any praise at all and he's been there 4 season... To be fair though Balotelli did score two hatricks against Real Madrid (being Atletico Madrid) so I guess that counts for something. Still, far too easy for attackers to get on the list and far too difficult for defenders. I also notice that attackers tend to get the "player of the year" award, even if they haven't played all that "brilliant". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightSoul Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 publicly praising?? There's no option for that except it happens during press conference, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMister Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I had a striker who became favoured personnel at Hearts after 3 matches, and was still there years after leaving the club having appeared around 15 times. I can't get on it despite winning the league a couple of times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Winning the fans' player of the season seems to get a player on the list. That's the only time I've noticed a player making it on my save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gent Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I had a youth team player who never played a game for the club get on my club's favoured personnel list. He left the club 3 years ago and is still on it lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

her0n Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Has anyone managed to get a goalkeeper into icons list? (I'm afraid in FM-World Casillas would stand no chance of becoming Real legend...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightSoul Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Actually, Casillas is the only person from my defense line who become a legend in my save :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Another one is when you sign a player and the fans are excited about him. On FM2006, this happened when I signed an older player with lots of flair who was 10x better than anyone else in my team on a free from a division or two above me. I got a message about the fans being excited and he went straight on the favoured list. In Fm2011, I've had this too, signed a youngish (22 yo) guy with no games played yet but some tasty looking attributes for my level. Fans were excited by the prospect and he's been added to the favoured personell. Managers that win things/get the club promoted end up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazza10 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Well as a manager i only got in the favourite personnel list after i won 2 scudettos in a row, 1 coppa italia and 3 italian super cups for AC Milan.. Im glad about it though as i feel more then that needs to be done before getting in the icon or legends list... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hadn't done much in his career, but the fans loved him because he had a few good stats and a lot of potential (yet to be fulfilled) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
