dannyboy1981 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Ok this is thread about Kyriakos Papadopoulos AKA THE BEAST ! Any good stories about him either in matches or during the season he is a funny player to have at your club. I got a few so I will start off. He once Injured 8 players in training in 1 season. He also got the ball nicked off him in a match and tackled 4 people in row in 8 seconds injuring 2 of them in process and got ball back hit a long pass to set up a goal on counter. (totally true story lol) He is got to be most fun player to manage as he always doing something crazy good or crazy bad in the game. For me his stats are insane 20 aggression , 20 bravery , 20 tackling , 20 marking , 20 work rate , 20 strength so he really ain't the sort of player you want to upset even if you are a team mate. One problem I got with him which seems like it is totally unfixable (Yeah I know it ain't a real word) is his training when he kills his team mates I get at least 5 times a season he injures a team mate and sometimes he breaks their legs Problem is he is so good at tackling he never gets sent off in matches ever ! So as a manager you can't fine him to get his aggression to drop down (This is only way I know how to reduce aggression stat). Any ways be cool to hear more stories about this total nut job world class defender please share ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranquelme Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 his composure on FM12 went up to about 15 on my save and his positioning was 16, 17. Rock at the back. Must buy imo.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Trying to lure him with Pompey. Need someone at the back who knows what they are doing, and ageing Lescott is so hit and miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonufc Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Not as good as FM12's thread Brought him in a couple of saves last season, the second of which retraining him to play right back - was very, very effective; probably better suited to a defensive right back role I'd say, low positioning can be less dangerous outwide, plus he's such a mountain no winger can get round him, through him or over him.

Duckelfsc Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'd use him as a defensive mid. Get him among the opposition players and break some legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy1981 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 He never gets sent off for me that is the problem ! You want this player to have few seasons of getting 10 reds or so just keep fining him 1 week wages and his aggression stat will drop loads ! Problem for me is he never gets sent off.

Ranquelme Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 ^you should buy him before his transfer fee inflates.. normally you can get him under £10m in the first couple of seasons and then after he won't leave for anything under £25m+ Play him in home games, work on his positioning in training and you will have the best defender in the game in a couple of seasons.

kopfan1977 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I agree, One heck of a player for my Liverpool side. And yes he got sent off a few times in first season but he was a rock alongside Sebastian Coates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuanMarneyW Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I just purchased him at the end of season 3, as a 23 year old, for £13.25m. Was very surprised at the price, considering how much the likes of Zouma etc are. Just won the league and CL double, and decided to move on a 29 soon to be 30 year old Kaboul, and bring this guy in. Main reason being that Kaboul always seems to be injured for me, so I thought I'd sell him whilst I could get good money ( £20.5m ). His aggression for me is only 17, which is very nice, given that it seems to be at twenty in most instances. Looking forward to developing him further.

scott MUFC Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 unrelieable? one of the best defenders at my club. first few games you could see him working well, getting the ball clear and tackling. just stumbled across him in scout reports, saw that marking and tackling, and bought him got him in a back line with Hummels/Vidic/Jones gets booked more times then paul scholes though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambie\'s Lovechild Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Ironically, playing him as a defender is nowhere near the best use of his attributes. Get him in and re-train him as a Central midfielder, and then use him as a Ball Winning Midfielder in the centre of the park. He is absoloutely frightening for me in this role, and has just enough pace to close down and break up almost anything that comes near him before laying it sideways to a quick winger, or a creative midfielder. When I set my scout filter to search for all the key attributes of a defensive mid, he came up as the youngest, strongest candidate, and with his tremendous PA, he can easily be the best BWM in the game for a decade.

jlawlor91 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Papadopolous on my Toon FM12 save was the best ever signing I've ever made on an FM series. Thats why I've bought him a year later with a different Toon save. Him and Alderweireld at the back not too shabby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott MUFC Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 had him tackle a guy in the midfield, ball goes to another oppositon player further back.. who he also slide tackles, gets the ball and whips in a cross. guy is a one man ball winning machine, and this was at CB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoobyBlah Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 His aggression has always made me hesitant to buy him. How often does he get sent off? More than any regular player, or is it not that noticeable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 quite funny when he plays. and the player mood thing says: feeling aggressive next to his name all the time he hasn't really been any more of a problem for me then any other player some more info on mine. he has developed to a world-class central defender coach information main strength Teamwork specific strength Consistancy no weaknesses I don't recall him ever being sent off for me, he gets booked often, but usualy doesnt get a 2nd or dive in. one of the best defenders in the game when developed. he has developed even more since that screenshot was taken. he is now 24, and better then the one in the Arsenal screenshot oh and a bonus. he has only had 2 injures on my game EVER.
