mhaffy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Following news item just showed up: "Chelsea Reserves win the league again Relentless Chelsea Reserves are celebrating winning their 5th consecutive Enlglisg Group 1 Reserves title. Reece Loudon led the way to glory for the league leaders by notching 0 goals en route to sealing the Group 1 crown." Nice touch, but pity that the Reece Loudon comment is ridiculous..... He only turned out twice for reserves during the campaign (only 3 other players in reserves made fewer appearances. Eight players made > 12 appearances!) As he did not score throughout the campaign why mention the goals he notched! Maybe he had highest average rating for reserves? No, although he averaged 7.27 for his two appearances, 16 other players had higher ratings....with best being 7.64 from nine appearances with two goals.... 7 players had average ratings over 7.50..... Only reason for mentioning Reece Loudon must be a good performance in game preceding comment when reserves clinched the league then.... Youve guessed it.....No - he was not even included in the squad! Logic seems somewhat flawed.... PS When the reserves clinched their 4th consecutive litle last season I bet you can can't guess the comment: Relentless Chelsea Reserves are celebrating winning their 4th consecutive Enlglisg Group 1 Reserves title. Reece Loudon led the way to glory for the league leaders by notching 0 goals en route to sealing the Group 1 crown." Hmmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraftwerk Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 As bad as your assistant/coach telling you that you only require "1 points" to win the title Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Maybe he's the captain? In any case, there are many incomprehensible news items in FM still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMeppen Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Has he got the highest rep out of all the players in the reserves? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaffy Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Has he got the highest rep out of all the players in the reserves? definitely not. Circa 28 players in reserve squad and only two have poorer current ability and potential ability. Coach rates him 1/2 star and player not good enough for Chelsea. I am waiting for him to leave on a free and he has never featured in any of my plans.... A bizarre choice for news item..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Sir Matthew Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 what about influence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaffy Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 what about influence? Unfortunately no - his influence rating of 11 is just average for reserves ....Lots of them have far better influence stats. Loudons highest visible attributes are 13 for tackling, natural fitness and flair - unlikely to be used for singling him out methinks... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
