In the recent v23.3.0 I see a lot of changes to the Burnley squad. It's far more realistic now than it was on release, thank you. The expectations have also been fixed. It's still a struggle to try and replicate Kompany's tactics in the game, but that's another matter. Cullen's roll in particular is hard to replicate.

Thank you, this is fixed in the latest v23.3.0.

This is still the same after the most recent patch. Expectations should be play entertaining football and to be promoted. I warned of this before release yet there's still mistakes

As posted already here: To use an example; you create a staff filter for a Physio. If you create this filter and have 'Realistic appointments - Youth Team' set, you then save the filter and it remembers that you have 'Realistic appointments - Youth Team' set. So next time you use the filter you will always have that preference. This means if you have a filter to find a Physio, you have to keep 3 different filters for the same role based on whether you want a First Team, Reserve or Youth Physio. Same with player search. Say you create a filter it will always remember your 'Interested in' field. If you want to create a filter for a striker, it will remember that you had 'Interested in > Slightly Interested' from when you created the filter. But if you decide to look at players instead that are very interested you have to change the setting after each filter you import.

I don't have filters but by exporting the filters I have figured out the problem. The issue is that the filters are saving also your preferences for reputation. To use an example; you create a staff filter for a Physio. If you create this filter and have 'Realistic appointments - Youth Team' set, you then save the filter it remembers that you have 'Realistic appointments - Youth Team' set. So next time you use the filter you will always have that preference. This means if you have a filter to find a Physio, you have to keep 3 different filters for the same role based on whether you want a First Team, Reserve or Youth Physio. Same with player search.

If you want to create a filter for a striker, it will remember that you had 'Interested in > Slightly Interested' from when you created the filter. But if you decide to look at players instead that are very interested you have to change the setting after each filter you import. So, I guess this needs to be in the feature request section? Filters saved should not be remembering reputation toggles, so you can freely use the same filter for your last selected preference. Does this make sense?

With respect Neil, I haven't really been too impressed with the research done for Burnley over the past few games and I've reported some of the problems in the past which have later been patched up. Basic things such as players not being natural in positions they start in each game were wrong, stuff you'd expect wouldn't at all be the case if the researcher had actually been watching games. I'm specifically worried about Charlie Taylor and Connor Roberts not being Natural in a centre back position and Gudmundsson natural as an attacking midfielder. I've also thought about this. Particularly how the defence would work. On the right hand side Roberts operates as both a centre back and a right back, with Cullen often dropping deep to replace him as the 3rd man in the backline. I thought about Cullen as a 'half back' and Roberts as a 'Wide Centre Back' but I don't think either role fully represent the style in real life. The role of Taylor on the left side is more basic, as he doesn't venture as far forward. Both wing backs push very high up the pitch and hug the touchline. I'm not sure really if even the 'Complete Wing Back' attack covers this. They even get to the byline at times. Most news sites report the formation as 4-2-3-1 but really, it's a mix between 5-2-2-1, 4-2-2-2 and 3-2-4-1

I posted in the championship thread but my post either wasn't approved or it was deleted.

Thanks, but that is for 2022. I was trying to give a heads-up to the researcher in 2023. It doesn't seem like there's a way to directly speak to them, or report it. I know stuff like this gets overlooked because I reported a bunch of errors in 2022 that were later corrected (players natural positions, stats etc) so I thought I'd give a warning ahead of time to stop this from happening again. As far as I know the Burnley researcher is not a Burnley fan and shares the research with another team. There's a lot of changes and research that needs to be changed at the club this year. So, we can expect to start FM 2023 as Burnley and the board having the constant expectation of defensive football and making the most from set pieces again? I know style is linked to the manager and I know Dyche signed a very specific type of player, but things have changed a lot and this needs to be reflected in the boards expectations, finances etc.

I couldn't figure out where to post this, so I guess I'll post it here. Is the researcher for Burnley prepared for the changes that have happened this season? The board expectations, finances and players/roles have changed a lot this season. The main changes transfers aside are down to positions and style of play. Connor Robers and Charlie Taylor are now playing a wide centre back role and the team has moved to playing very possession-based football.

In player or staff search when you import a saved filter the reputation filter resets every time. Staff search > Filter for First Team, U21's and U18s. Player search > not interested/slightly interested/very interested etc. Can we have this bug fixed in FM23?

Just as a laugh and to credit knap. Almost everyone scored in this game: It was even a reserve team I put out. Admittably Besiktas had a sending off. Tactic is the latest holyghostfire451...insane. Thank you knap.

FYI I sacked my DOF and employed a new one and the problem is gone. At least that's a workaround.
