[What do Recruitment Analysts do?]

I don't know the "Science" behind it but for me the Scout gives you Raw data on the player (Technical, Mental and Physical) and the Analyst advises you on his personality and how he'd fit into the club.

The scout does all those things. Analysts focus on presenting statistical data e.g. Key passes, Shot accuracy etc.

[Weighing importance of attributes for roles, team instruction and player instructions]

Hi guys, I have found myself in a small bit of a conundrum.

When I normally scout new players for my team I go off key (green) and preferable (blue) attributes for specific roles. E.g. Lets say key attributes are worth 4 more than I think preferable attributes are worth. So If I was looking for an advanced forward I would look for 12 minimum in key attributes and 8 in the others. But now I have begun to include attributes that benefit the team instructions and also the individual player instructions. What I'm trying to figure out is how much those attributes are worth in comparison to key attributes. I'm going to assume key attributes are the most important, but how much less are team/player/preferable attributes worth in your opinions?

If you want a visual indicator of what I'm trying to say here it is:

Green background = Key attribute

Blue background = Preferable attribute

Yellow text = Attribute required by team instruction

Pink border = Attribute required by player instruction 

 

[Question about compensation fees for young players]

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a custom view option to see if a player on a youth contract can be signed with a compensation fee. I have various views like max asking price/asking price/release clauses but the only way for me to check if a youth contract player can be signed with a compensation fee is by checking the 'estimate cost' in the scouting report. Would really like to know if there is a workaround for this, thanks.

Glad to hear it helped but that's the thing in FM20 you need to keep watching and tweaking. Good luck

Finished the season unbeaten. Starting front 3 scored 60 goals between them.

I'd guess he's not being isolated enough with a Mez and a WB-s nearby. The mez will drift to the channels, too close to the treq or even an IF cutting in. The WB-s will push up but not as aggressively or wide as a CWB-s. You're probably overloading that area and opening space for the RW.

Thanks again for the advice. Swapping my MEZ to BBM just sprung my team into their best form all season. We are ripping teams apart and my LW has an average rating of 8. The BBM is also scoring and so is my striker who was struggling all season.

Thanks for the reply. Its strange because I used to have the mezzala on the right and the CWB on the left and still my RW was still the one flourishing. Anyways Im gona try playing a BBM instead of the MEZ and see if it helps. Maybe and extra man making forward runs through the centre will give the LW more space.

I am in my 9th season with Valencia and have won 2 champions leagues, 4 La Ligas, 4 Copa Del Reys and plently more trophies of lesser importance.

For pretty much my whole career I played a 4-1-4-1 DM Wide. Initially I played a variation of the Control Possession tactic but has now evolved more into a Vert Tiki-Taka but the formation and player roles have stayed mostly the same.

However for pretty much all this time my left winger has struggled in terms of output and average ratings. Often times he has the lowest rating in my team on a matchday even if we are winning comfortable and the rest of the team is in the 7-8+ ratings he could be in 6.5-7.

He does get big chances every now and then but most of the times he misses. Currently half way through this season he has a 7.09 Average with 8 goals (4 Penalties) and 2 assists. Which is quite concerning to me considering his attributes are nothing short of sensational, he also has the green relishes big matches and yellow consistent performer traits. 

I used to have my LW as an Inside FW but recently Ive been messing around with Trequartista which ive used for half a season so far which doesnt seem to be working. I thought maybe it might be something to do with the roles around him and not necessarily his own role but I basically inverted my formation a couple of seasons ago and nothing has really changed. I had my mezzala on the right, BPD cover on the left and my CWB on the left previously.

Heres the current iteration of the formation and tactic im using.

Heres a look at my right wingers ratings over the past few seasons.

In contrast my last 3 starting LWs have all had around 7 average rating.
