Viazon16 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I am currently managing Arsenal and using Fabianski and Szczesny as my two goalkeepers. Szczesny is my first choice gk with Fabianski being back up. Since I have started playing the game, I have used Szczesny in 45 league games and Fabianski in only 2. In total I have used Szczesny in 68 games and Fabianski in 6. Szczesny has been in very good form for me and keeps many clean sheets. So why is it that Fabianski constantly gets chosen over Szczesny to play for the Polish national team? Szczesny is always in good form and plays much much more games then Fabianski. It just doesnt make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
däkkä Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Good question. I asked that question not too long ago... I faced AC Milan in CL quarter finals. They went with 3-5-2 with Ignazio Abate as MR and... I honestly laughed out loud when I saw this: Robinho as ML. In the defensive phase of their play, Robinho known for his defensive capabilities and work rate would be responsible for dealing with Messi + Dani Alves. Well, I went a couple goals ahead in the first half, Robinho had struggled and had a very poor rating. Allegri decided to sub him out. "Nicely done" you might think. Not really! He brought on Antonio Cassano and continued with the same mind-boggling 3-5-2. For the second leg, Allegri surely would be wiser? Not really, same formation, Robinho starting and Cassano subbing for him on HT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnjo Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I can just imagine the polish AI manager saying the same thing......why does he keep picking Szczesny :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I have had similar issue although not quite the same. I found that the international AI managers prefer real players to regens even though the regens are better and playing at a higher level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viazon16 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 But Szczesny isnt a regen. Hes a real player. He has been capped once on my game, but every other time, Fabianski gets picked over him. Its odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHairyAndy Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Does Fabianski have a higher reputation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viazon16 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 No. Both of their reputations says National. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
