How do those players compare with ones you now have? I can, and I can use the ingame editor to show you Bear in mind that 90 CA would be probably a 4* player for us, so the current quality of players that we could realistically buy on the transfer market are good, but not ridiculously so. It's the young players that would do it: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Season Review! League Man, that final was intense. We went 1-0 down after they won a penalty early for a push in the box off a free kick, equalised and went 2-1 up in extra time. In the 123rd minute (when only one minute was supposed to be added... cheers ref) they won a penalty for a push in the box off a free kick (seriously, we give so many of those away...) and had it saved as the last kick of the game. Cup Nice.Schedule Squad Other Teams: Juvenes Dogana lost 3-1 to FH from Iceland in the 2nd Qualifying Round of the CL (cheers lads...), Domagnano lost 2-0 to Rosenborg but Fiorentino beat Trencin from Slovenia 2-0 before losing on away goals to Jelgava from Latvia Next year: Groups.

Great work. Also, even tho it might be frustrating at the moment, don't give up. I've seen similiar treads start tinker with the rules when they're struggling.

He's also pretty handy defensively, and should make a good replacement for Mattia Rondelli (who's now 36 and absolutely knackered) as our Box to Box midfielder. 2 hours ago, PaulHartman71 said: With most career threads I actively follow I try and avoid going in them for 2 weeks at a time so I can binge through a season or two, I like how with this one I can avoid it for 2 days and have loads of seasons to binge through Fair play for sticking it out this long, hope that you can get to the CL Group Stages at least once before FM18 is out!

Bedese Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Well then... We went with the 4-1-4-1, but changed the mentality to contain - and we bloody battered them! Daniele Lombardi (YP69a) hit the post with a one on one, Paolo Di Nardo charged through on goal but couldn't find a finish, and we wasted a load of good chances including lots of free kicks. They couldn't create much - until the 89th minute when they dived for a penalty, because f***ing Dinamo. Muraccini (YP72a) saved it, and we have our first ever draw against Dinamo. I reckon we're going to get battered in Croatia, but if we can grab a goal... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never found a correlation between the HOYD preferred formation and the type of players you get through (I tracked that for a decent amount of years on my FM 16 thread), so I tend to just go with the HOYD who has the best stats.

I have a theory, albeit one based upon limited data and not particularly in depth analysis of that data that coaching style may have an effect. I think I'd had 4 HOYD at one point in my save. 3 had brought through talented CM players, but one hadn't. The 3 all had the same coaching style, and the 1 had a different one. I've had an attacking coaching style one for the last 2-3 years and after getting a DM through every season, I haven't had one for a while, and I'm also getting less CB's after getting good quality ones through for a long time. So I think it's possible coaching style effects things, although nothing else stood out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
