  1. I think the text commentary needs a lot of love and new lines, old lines removing / editing and so on.
  2. Its Football Manager. Not Football CEO, commercial manager, economist etc. A manager would never get involved in setting ticket prices, aside from it being well outside of their role they don't have the expertise.
  3. Not from direct experience as I didn't continue the particular save quite long enough to see the long-term outcome but... I believe and remember in FM2008 there was an issue with newgen players being unbalanced. Specifically, their technical and mental attributes were higher than average, but they had very low physical stats. So, when the DB was full of newgen players, the "greys" from what I heard, while not as good, simply over-powered them. I did see the beginnings of this in my Man Utd save at the time but as aforementioned, didn't play it long enough to witness the endgame, as FM2009 with its snazzy 3D animations came out and I switched to that.
  4. Do these duplicated players have the same attribute structure as IRL / in FM? e.g. Haaland, amazing physicals? Trent - great playmaking attributes? Does the attribute polygon always have a similar shape? I'll bet anything they don't. In which case its quite certain, you have a remaining regen file lurking in a folder. The reason is that the regen file only includes specific data e.g. name, position, PA, things like country, skin colour etc. It does not include attributes. So for example you get a regen CR7... he may actually be physically weak, but have amazing work-rate!
  5. Have you previously used any kind of retro database? It really does sound like an issue connected with that.
  6. 1. I think they'll just train for their best position in a generic way 2. You can go to a player's individual training page. There's a drop-down menu for extra training e.g. Quickness, and many other options - but you can't ask them to do no other training - that's not feasible or realistic. As for increasing an attribute from 5 to 15 by training - no chance at all of that, its completely unachievable IRL and of course in the game.
  7. That's exactly right. So if you want women's only gameworld, or men's just select those relevant leagues. I'd presume as well that if you want to add / remove leagues during the save, you could do so in the normal manner.
  8. Yeah its going to be all one gameworld. So as long as you have those leagues running, you could manage a women's team, then a men's or vice-versa in the same save - just as if you were moving from Italy to Portugese club management in any version of FM.
  9. At the end of the day, FM is a game, but its also a simulation of football, trying to be as realistic as it can be, within reason. Many thoughts and ideas about time at tournaments, training, prep for matches and so on. But the reality is, international managers get very little time with squads. Can only focus on basics i.e. basic fitness assessment / recovery. General team building over months / years. Basic tactical shape, stick to it, progress players into that shape, slow evolution of both. Truth is, in FM, I think on those issues, very little they can do. For example, training - as an international manager you just don't have time between games to make a significant impact. Even training camps aren't enough. Its months / years of culture / tactical build. As for fitness, as I said above, really no impact. You can't develop players technically or physically, its down to the clubs. My post is on these issues, not the interface issues - agree they could be improved. The subtleties of international management IRL - a great question, but in current FM framework, something difficult to achieve, for now.
  10. In short, your keeper is performing pretty much at an average level. Its not calculated against xGA , because that wouldn't account for shots not on target - obviously your keeper will only save shots on target. So the baseline is xGoT i.e. expected goals on target which accounts for where the ball is heading, likelihood of it going in and hence the difficulty of a save the keeper would have to make. After that, expected goals prevented metric would be measured against xGoT. So if xGoT was 1.2 average, he conceded 1.0 per game, then his xGP would be +0.2, so performing above average and having a net positive effect on your team. For your specific case, its +0.06 so its net positive, but the number is very small and not really statistically a significant difference, so he's more or less performing in an average way - neither good nor bad. Article below explains in more detail. https://theanalyst.com/eu/2021/06/what-are-expected-goals-on-target-xgot/
  11. I understand that and I'm sure others do too. The point is that the person delegated should be able to mae better decisions. Its especially irritating when the inbox message says the style of play from the loanee club suits the player, and then it gets rejected anyway!
  12. Also if they're at an age 18+ where they're not ready for your own first team, but they need matches.
  13. So what is the correct setup, aside from what people here have suggested? I've been having the same problem. I understand adding to development list seems to be a workaround but we shouldn't have to do this. It does sound like a bug tbh.
  14. Where are you managing? Does the weather change at this time of year? If so in what ways? What kind of tactics are you using? There could actually be a reasonable, environment and football-based explanation for your loss of form e.g. wet weather, wet pitches, make passing football less effective, heavy pressing less effective. Or maybe your players are becoming fatigued due to your tactics? Whatever it is, its not a random variable or SI conspiracy.
  15. Agree with that. The sporting director Dan Ashworth recently said the goal was to be a consistent top 6 club.
