Kenco Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm managing in the EPL and noticed in one month this season the winner made 5 appearances, scored 0 goals with an average rating of 6.46. 3rd place made 5 appearances, scored 6 goals, with an average rating of 8.24. 2 months later, the player who previously finished 3rd wins it this time, with 4 appearances, 0 goals, average rating of 7.00. 2nd place had 4 appearances, 4 goals and an average of 8.50. What factors does the game take into account when deciding this, or is it totally random? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Things Could Get Messi Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 good question! i have had players before win the player of the month award but only come 2nd or 3rd in the young player catagory :S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybouldinho Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Awards, whether it be young player of the month, player of the month, manager of the season, etc have always been notoriously weird in CM/FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I've found the player of the month award to be more logical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley21 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I reckon when the game does get the award right its by chance, not design. The whole feature has been totally random since it was first put into the series, i dont see the point of it if it doesnt do what its supposed to. The FML one was even worse, at least on FM11 the same player cant come 1st 2nd and 3rd in the same month Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boddah Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I would suggest game time, lots of times seen mediocore performance in 6 games beat fantastic performance in 5games...but i don't know, just a wild guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimland Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I just finished a season in blue square north and the vote for player of the year is coming up. I got slightly surprised when I realised my striker wasn't even among the nominated players. THis is the stats for my player over the season. These are the players that are nominated.

fonkey123 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I believe they also take into account the players reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's comical... never seen anything like that myself, it's always seemed fairly accurate. Clearly something's gone a bit awry. Certainly the young players award is very skewed - many times before I've had a young player win Player of the Month, but then come third in Young Player of the Month!
