Some things I've noticed while using Genk in the beta:
- Patrik Hrosovky is should have a strong left foot (they talk about his two-footedness in this paywalled article as an example https://www.hbvl.be/cnt/dmf20220121_95888290). He is also a good ball-winner and while I do think it's down more to his mental ability than his actual tackling, his current tackling stat of 5 seems extremely low (Bilal El Khannous for example has 6 tackling).
- Maarten Vandevoordt starts the game in the Jong Genk squad, when he should be first choice keeper. (I believe this was a problem in FM22 as well)
- Kouassi tore his ACL in March and is still out, I don't know the exact cut-off for injuries, but it might need to be added
- Arteage feels a bit overrated, he's seen as one of the best players on the team. When in reality while he's improved this season, he's still seen as a bit of a weak link
- Tuur Rommens is underrated, he's supposed to be one of the better Jong Genk players and has potential to get into the first team in the future. In game he's just bad... Sam de Grand for example is already way better than him in game (De Grand might also be a bit overrated, but I cant't say for sure because my knowledge on u18 players is not that good).
- Rasmus Carstensen is also overrated. He is seen as a regular starter by the game when in reality he's mostly been playing for Jong Genk and only debuted as a sub recently
- Dewaest should be in the Jong Genk squad based on the fact that he played a game for them irl and is therefore ineligible for the first team
- Gabriel Leveh left the club
- Cuesta has really good attacking attributes for a CB. I don't know if they're empty in the db or set that way, but they should be a bit lower. He also shouldn't be a natural DM, he's covered there before, but wasn't very good, while the game sees it as his best position.
- Heynen is overrated as a set-piece taker. He's average at them at best tbh. Trésor on the other hand is underrated, he's clearly the best set-piece taker at the club and the reason we're a threat from there. Also Cuesta has 11 free-kick taking, but I've never seen him take freekick before irl
- Mike Tresor also has the plays short simple passes PPM, which seems inappropiate for a playmaker like him
- Olivieri and Wuytens are also listed as a assistants on the club site, not just coaches. But maybe the game doesn't allow multiple assistants in Belgium, I don't know.
- Peter Persoons has a 5 for analysing data as Head Analyst. I don't know much about his actual ability, but this seems really low for someone at a big Belgium club
- Hans Somers has 352 as his preferred formation, but it should be a 4231 or 433. I think Jong Genk played a 352 maybe once this season, all the other times it was a 4231/433
- Jay-Dee Geussens should probably be able to play AM (or maybe DM). Because as a CM he doesn't get into the team, because they tend to play 4231DM, which has no CM. He's mostly been the most forward midfielder for Jong Genk, so AM makes the most sense. But I've seen him in a double pivot as well.
- Jong Genk should be playing in the Cegeka Arena
