AshKing15 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hello mates, so I have been playing FM 16 for a while now in the Indian National League as Bharat FC club. My attack has been trustworthy this season but my defence was weak so I decided to sign a good defender and signed Ricardo Carvalho. His attributes were great which made me sign him but the problem was he was 40 years old and he is giving a below average performance. So is there a way I can get him back in form ?

RyanBrown Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It’s probably too late for that at the age of 40. I often sign older players who will be back up, but they never seem to perform well. It’s an endless cycle; you’d much rather a tried and tested player with great attributes then a 16 year old who doesn’t possess any real advantages over the older player.

AshKing15 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hm... I guessed that too... Also he has decided to retire at the end of the season and I am giving him 10k dollar per week so I just wanted to take all I can from him.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way thanks for the quick reply For lower leagues always use stronger & faster players than technique but slow and old players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshKing15 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 I know I have made a mistake by signing him but nothing could be done until this season also I cant make another signing so suggest a way to extract the best out of him... Does cutting wages or issuing a discipline for bad performance help ? Thank you in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if he is a influencer player in team, other players can react bad too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshKing15 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Okay thanks. Can I make use of him by letting him tutor one of the other younger team players ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a good personality (high professionalism for example) / determination then sure, that can be a good idea. Your main problem with this player will be his Physical abilities. He'll be slow, low stamina, probably low work rate as well. As he's a central defender that may not matter quite so much as if he were a winger for example, however it'll still hamper his ability to defend. A high intensity system, with lots of pressing and a high defensive line is probably a bad idea for this player, as that type of system may rely more physical abilities than a more passive system.

Thanks. Last request - what can be the best role and PI for him because I am planning to make him play every match he is fit for so that I can straight out my money wasted in his wages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
