Bellingham, Kane and Saliba are alrealy some of the best players and don't need upgrades. Bellinghams stats though are completely wrong though and should be adjusted heavily. Bayer Leverkusen surely will see a boost. What date is usually the update coming?

I won the league for two seasons, now in third it looks like I will be second. But Arsenal are relly good this year. Jesus has not performed that well for me either, but I use him as a pressing forward and I don't really need him to bang in the goals as long as Saka and Martinelli keep doing it. I sold Saka before the third season to PSG for a total of 201m pounds. First I rejected a much lower bid, then they came back with a second which i accepted. Only then Saka rejected their contract. Then they came back with a third, even higher and everything went smooth. I bought Yamal from Barca to compensate (for a good 147m) and he has been even better.

Havertz isn´t that good in fm24, considering his huge wages. Timber has developed well for me and is very useful as a squad player. Ødegaard is insane, a bit too good. Together with Rice and Saka who are absolute world class in game. Saliba is also good, but I would rather boost him at the expense of said three players in terms of reality. Jesus stats I disagree with a bit, as he is one of the best driblers in the club in real life and the game don´t reflect that. Too good: Ødegaard, Rice, Saka, Vieira, Jorginho Underrated: Saliba (even if his potential is high, his stats make him a bit too rounded), Jesus, Smith-Rowe. The rest is pretty spot on. Overall i´m very happy with the Arsenal squad.

i will work from home tomorrow instead of the office. i´m chuffed

it´s not available yet. i think in order to see it in steam you need to go to library and there is an option to show ´tools´in the menu there

Son has always been underrated in FM. His goals and assists over the years have been amazing, and he does not take penalties or free kicks.

It could be a ghost. or it's time to clean your fans

This is the problem. the consequences need to be toned down. How about making the agent do all the commotion?

This is probably even worse. I've never heard this happening in real life. Why would half the squad be upset that another player didn't get a fat raise? Rather, they should be upset that the player is upset and wants to leave because he is an entitled brat. Whenever you have to talk to players about contracts or whatever it's a minefield. Press a wrong answer and the consequences are way overblown. I'm not autistic, I should be able to know what would be a reasonable answer, but aside from the obvious kicking the chair or bottle or whatever, is is really difficult.

strange how many small clubs have got so much support, even long wiki-pages with stuff. Never heard of Chelmsford. But I suppose it's because fooball is a way of connecting to people, social rituals where we can meet and have something in common - not only with family but total strangers.

This is an issue that's been there forever in FM, but I find can be very unrealistic. I'm sure it's also tied to player's playing time? I get that they want more money and more playtime. But usually the club is the one that should complain that a player don't want to sign a new contract if he is good. Take Reiss Nelson on my Arsenal save. He earns 90k punds a week. A decent salary for a squad player if not a fringe player. He has a long contract, probably signed recently. But after one year he wants a new contract. He has developed, but I find it unlikely that he would complain to the point of wanting to leave the club if this was real life. The exact same situation for Kiwior, a good player who wants a new contract and even be a first team starter after one season in game. A bit unrealistic. The fact is that they already have contracts and are professionals. If a player has developed alot and obviously has had his market value go up, then the club should be the one who tries to retain him. In fact it would make the game harder to manage, not only more realistic. How often do you see players have a tantrum and want to leave because of wanting a new contract? they want to leave because other clubs are willing to pay more. There's a difference here, doesn't mean they are unhappy.

yeah, in reality he is one if the fastest players in the league. And his stamina should be much higher.

the thing is...he's not even that good, just really slow

the fact that none of the main fm streamers are on, tells me it's not happening soon

how soon is "not yet"?
