Smurf Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'm sure I'll be told to post in the data thread. But wanted to get some evidence lol. If you're a few years in your game can you check on this guy and let me know how he's doing? He's a proven prolific goalscorer. I'm not interested in people's personal opinion on him, good or bad. Just want to know how he fairs in your game. After that I'll post in the Data thread and link to here. This is how he did in my game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOG Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 High injury proneness and low natural fitness mean Van Persie gets injured every other match and has virtually no chance of avoiding a long-term injury over the course of a season. When I played Arsenal on FM11, I recall every match being a question of when, not if, that knock icon would pop up next to his name. Add in the resulting CA loss and he's nearly always useless by 2014. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 I think those days are over for him, and needs to be reflected in the new update or at some point. He's been on fire for the last 14 months and no injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomit Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I still use him in my latest save, I'm now in november 2017, with Arsenal. He has still got excellent stats to play in a central striker, trequartista role. He still provides goals, and regularly provides devastating thru-balls for my inside forwards. His physical stats are down of course, but they are not that important the way I play him. Neither has he been too much hampered with injury, really. Less than expected. I will probably let him go at the end of the season though. Contract runs out, and I have a couple of younger players that looks like they could do the job. But really, the only players as good or BETTER than RVP, the way I play him, would be someone like Messi, or Agüero. And newgens fit to play as a striker trequartista or complete forwards on the highest level, are sadly lacking in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milnerpoint Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thing is man, up till the last 18 months as you say he wasnt playing as a striker, only recently has he been put there, as you should well know his current FM stats are based on last season, last season he was only starting to hit good form again. I would imagine he will get looked at for next year, if he keeps up his form and avoids another injury. But if you manage him from what i have read in the good player guide its very easy to get him to bang goals in for fun, even if the AI cannot get it quite right.

thomit Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 RVP don't need to be "looked at" ... not to make him any better than he is now, anyway. He is only surpassed by Messi as a striker/playmaker (trequartista if you will) in the game now. Rotated with a backup enough, he's not even getting injured too much. In my game he has been priceless, bagging in goals and assists galore. In my game, his lowest number of starts in a season is 30 (2011/12 to 2016/17), and lowest goals in a season 19 - but on average quite a bit better than both. He won't be easy to replace. (Since there's no chance to get Messi, and Agüero is too expensive ... and both are getting on a bit themselves). I have Fierro alternating with RVP now (managed to train him well into a trequartista), and I also have trained Ramsey to do a decent job in that position/role, as an alternative. Neymar would probably be a good alternative, but I don't dare to buy him - he's too volatile and don't seem to adapt well outside of Brazil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's overated and needs a nerf:D What about the people that use him? Is the game just neglecting him for some reason then? I don't use him I only signed him for Perugia at the age of 34. I checked his stats and he's barely played. So is the game messing up here by not selecting him? A few others have had similar stats. I'm going to go back through my older saves and see what happened to him - see if there's a pattern to the game not selecting him. This is just one person though - so it could be a game wide issue with lots of players - I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm going to point out how wrong you are for 'fairness'. Hold a minute. You're making it sound like I purposefully gave the wrong stats to tip it in my favour. That is not what I was doing. I simply got the stats which I thought were correct. I provided my source when asked, and then I retracted my stats on that data because I saw it was flawed.

rich10 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 RvP's injury proneness should be reduced. He has just scored 5 in one game on mine at the start of the second season, and although he didn't get over 20 league goals in the first season, I've always found him to be a nightmare to play against in all previous versions of CM/FM. It has to be said that this season is the first time I've seen Arsenal (in real life, the lines blur ) play to his strengths as the main striker (as Blackburn did with Shearer back in the day).

rich10 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Should've advised for a spoiler tag there, sorry. FM should reflect a player's stats based on their form in the previous season, so I am not saying this should have been changed, but that it should be reduced for FM 2013, and by reduced I don't mean to 1, but certainly less than his current stat.

thomit Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Is the injury prone stat completely static? I seem to remember one version of FM (or maybe CM) where it could go down due to good caretaking by the physios ... or am I dreaming? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again - I just found it strange when I signed him at 34 years of age and thought it was odd he hadn't played more and scored more. He's clearly one of the best strikers on the planet at this moment in time and it's not reflected in the game. I play the game. I brought it up to see if others had the same results - and apparently they did. So I'm going to bring it up in the Data Issues that I said I would in my very opening post.
