    Oh but you see there are a lot of possible reasons why he might prefer to sign with another team, like it is closer to his home [it's not], it has more of his friends [it doesn't], the move will financially benefit his family [it's for less money], he will receive more playing time [it's lower], their performance in the league is amazing [they're mid-table and you're in the top four], and he's looking forward to playing in Europe [it's the Europa League and you're in the Champions League].

    Yeah, but they're not screamers, or at least not always. They're immaculately technical goals -- players bringing the ball out of the air like Bergkamp, juggling it in the air before chipping the keeper. I'm not talking about a ball dropping to someone who puts his foot through it. The moves I'm talking about have multiple steps, like one- or two-touch passing moves from back to front where every pass is on the volley or half-volley. Obviously these things can happen in lower leagues. But what you wouldn't expect is for the works team of an auto assembly plant to score a dozen Puskas Award contenders in a single calendar year.

    On December 27, I receive an offer of £0 for Henry Barclay. The offer is accepted as it meets his release clause; his release clauses are for relegation and non-promotion. It's mid-season, and the player is six months into his existing deal. Save begins on 12/20; advance to 12/27 for the offer. Save: Edward Parris - Vauxhall Motors (v02).fm

    Barclay is rested for the next match and Paylor plays again. Paylor is in Poor condition by 40 minutes, and Very Poor by 75. Vauxhall Motors CB Fatigue Test followup.pkm

    Save: Edward Parris - Vauxhall Motors - CB fatigue test.fm PKM attached to post. Paylor has Heavy match load and played in the previous match three days ago. Barclay has Medium match load and was not in the matchday squad for the previous match; he was a healthy DNP for rest. Paylor's Natural Fitness is 15, Barclay's is 10. At 64 minutes, both CDs are in dark orange condition; the DLP in central midfield and the right back are as well. In the 92nd minute, Barclay becomes the first player on either team to tick into the dark-red 90% empty heart condition. Vauxhall Motors CB Fatigue Test.pkm

    I don't, but my centerbacks are regularly very tired at the end of matches. I can certainly submit a save and a match PKM showing this.

    I wonder if it's about animations. Maybe they've just added more high-end, so to speak, animations, so they get seen more often.

    Here's a PKM showing extremely low central defender energy at the end of game. Vauxhall Motors v Glossop.pkm

    48:28 -- Barclay gives away a penalty with a two-handed shove, allowing Glossop to equalize. When the game kicks back off, he has the highest match rating of any defender at 6.8, despite arguably being culpable for both goals. By the end of the match, Barclay has a 7.1 despite a yellow card, conceding a penalty and being at fault in part for two other goals. Vauxhall Motors v Glossop.pkm

    Also, I know it was a complaint around these parts last year that it was too easy to play one-touch tiki-taka football with technically-limited lower-league sides. It was, that's definitely true. And it's harder this year, mostly because every player just smashes the ball long as soon as they can. But there are a lot of high-technique wonder goals I'm seeing. In the 8th tier in England one of my strikers, with single-digit first touch, technique and flair took a pass coming in hard at waist height, flicked it with the back of his heel around his back, spun the defender and smashed in a volley with his weaker foot, like some sort of hybrid of the Bergkamp goal against Newcastle and the Henry volley against Man United. My 10 first touch, 8 technique, 6 flair left back just one-touch controlled a hoofed clearance, flicked it into the air and curled in a perfect cross to the far post with his weak foot. A couple games before that, I won a 4-3. The goals included from a first-touch volleyed pass into the channel finished with a first-touch volley into the bottom corner; a chipped volleyed through ball to the striker, who took it down out of the air with his first touch, let the ball bounce, and chipped the keeper on the volley; and a cross finished with a leaping volley. Like, man, there's a lot of volleyed goals happening right now.

    It is extremely annoying to watch defenders give away penalties and red cards early in matches and finish with above-average match ratings. This was a problem in 2022, it's still a problem.
  12. Sunstrikuuu
    Here's an example specifically of lack of engagement, lack of reaction to ball positioning and lack of sprinting in key moments. The pass as 47:28 should never get to the forward. It runs past three defenders, any of whom just need to move, like, at all to clear it. Vauxhall Motors v Kidsgrove.pkm

    Is it intended behavior and correct to reality for young players to fail to secure senior contracts with clubs, then remain at the club on month-to-month non-contracts even after the expiration of their contract? I'm finding I have to pay compensation for a lot of players whose contracts have expired, including some who are planning to leave the club at the expiration of their contract.
  14. Sunstrikuuu
    Explains a lot though! Seven attack duties, an empty midfield, Very Attacking mentality. Probably not great that it works as well as it does!
  15. Sunstrikuuu
    What kind of formation are you playing where you're winning 4-2 every game?
  16. Sunstrikuuu
    Uploaded a save that also has this issue. Heath Retirement.fm. Joe Heath is retiring on May 19... six days before the final of the FA Vase, which we will be playing
  17. Sunstrikuuu
    Did he have major injuries? He's 24 now; how much did he play in, say, his age-18 to age-21 seasons?
  18. Sunstrikuuu
    In slight mitigation (and obviously there's no real explanation for four goals per game over a season), that's an elite striker in maybe the 20th-ranked league in Europe. Depending on how good that left foot is, he could easily be pushing (CA spoiler:) Ten teams in the league, and maybe two of them are above Championship quality, being generous? With player tactics? And he's 6'5? With those attributes? And he's got 72 caps for Germany as a 25 year old? Yeah, honestly he probably should be scoring like that.
  19. Sunstrikuuu
    wait, this can happen? I've been playing FM for 15 years, I think, maybe 16, and never seen a keeper get a red card.
  20. Sunstrikuuu
    This has to be training-related. In semi-pro, I play two games a week every now and then, and always on max pressing (admittedly, not as often as a team in European competition plus cups would), and I have no fatigue and no injury issues, to the point where it's almost pointless carrying more than 16 players. I don't even know that I had an injury in my current season just ended.

    On May 5, my HoYD gives an update on my youth intake with recommended actions. He recommends offering a contract to every member of the class. Selecting "Apply Recommended Action" results in 'no decision made' for every player rather than the HoYD offering the players youth contracts. Save: Edward Parris - Vauxhall Motors.fm Reproduce: Advance to May 6 (save begins on May 2). Apply Recommended Action when the youth candidate trial news item appears on 5/5.

    I am manager of Vauxhall Motors, a team in the 9th tier of British football. The transfer window is basically always open because the clubs are semi-pro, and players are on a mixture of part-time and non-contracts. Sam Goode is unhappy with his playing time. I tell him fine, I understand his concern, I am happy to let him leave at the end of the season when his contract expires. He can't wait that long, though; he wants to make sure he leaves as soon as possible and the club gets a transfer fee for him. I'm assuming the transfer fee comment is just a single string that's used in multiple situations, so I'm not concerned about it, even if it is silly that he expects the club to get a fee for a player on a part-time contract that expires soon in a league where there are no transfer fees. The real issue is that the season is already over! It's May 2, and my final fixture was the final weekend of April. The only remaining fixtures are the finals of the Macron Cup and the FA Vase. He shouldn't be in a hurry to be transferred; there are no more fixtures left to play this season, except the cup finals he has an outside chance of being picked for. Reproduction: The save Edward Parris - Vauxhall Motors.fm starts when Goode makes his unhappiness known but before the conversation takes place. It is the first item in the inbox. If necessary, Edward Parris - Vauxhall Motors (v02).fm is from April 25, well before the interaction. To reproduce the issue in that circumstance, just play forward until May 2 without picking Goode in the final league fixture on the 27th of April.

    21 in 38 doesn't seem outrageous. That seems kinda normal, honestly, for a guy contending for top scorer in the league. But yes, I do think strikers are scoring a lot. Through 29 games in non-league, two players on AI team are on 30+ goals, and there are 10 other players on 19 or more goals, including one with 19 goals in 12 starts and 8 sub appearances. It's not as outrageous in the Premier League, though, so I'm assuming this is an artifact of defenders with ~40 CA being so bad that the match engine just has a tough time making them do enough defensive stuff.

    I heard an explanation for this IRL phenomenon once: left footers are sufficiently rare that it's unlikely for a team to have two of them, so left footers grow up playing on the left. But right-footed central defenders frequently grow up playing with other right-footed central defenders, so they have to play on the left as a matter of necessity. The pool of right-footed LCBs is much larger than the pool of left-footed RCBs.

    I wish I knew because it's a great question.
