    Swansea City should have a rivalry with Bristol City. It's not to the level of either the South Wales Derby (Swansea - Cardiff) or Severnside Derby (Bristol - Cardiff) but it's definitely one to at least make it to the 'other rivals' section. The fixture keeps getting moved from Saturday 3pm kickoffs due to police requests (not TV) following things boiling over at a number of the fixures over the last few years, and it always gets a bigger crowd.

    I agree but rivalries are not something we have any control over this year. The clubs themselves dictate that information as part of the EFL licensing agreement.

    Southampton FC

    Ex-Swansea U18 Coach Ricky King joined Southampton on 1st October 2023. He will be in an Academy role from Age 9 - 21 if that can be set in any way.

    Thanks for flagging this. Everything looks fine in the DB, he's set as a non-player with a non-player contract and jobs. I assume the future date is causing some sort of confusion in the game.

    He's an annoying one because he was only appointed Swans u18s manager like 6 weeks before he jumped ship, so he's got two contract start dates that occur after the game start date. I wouldn't have bothered making his profile if I'd known. More work for the Soton researcher instead.

    Just wondering why Pape Matar Sarr has an incredibly low determination of 4, when as a 20 year-old he's broken through to the starting XI of a premier league team, over players like Hojbjerg. It just seems unfairly low for a youngster of that quality, who's made a real impact this season.

    He doesn't have a value set for Determination in the database, so that 4 is just an unfortunate random result in your save.

    Swansea City:

    I know Bashir Humphreys is incredibly capable with both feet and it would eat into his CA to make him truly either footed, but according to his own admission, his left foot should be ever so slightly stronger than his right. (Currently it's the other way around in the game). He also took corners with his left and (indirect) free-kicks (for Paderborn) with his left foot.

    “To be honest, my favoured foot has swayed over the years depending on which position I have been playing in,” he added.

    “Now I am definitely more confident playing on my left foot, but I can use my right foot when I’ve played at right-back so I am not fussy about it.

    On a similar note, his potential seems a tad low for such a technically fantastic, versatile and composed player, who also was a star for England's u20s (also at the World Cup) and is currently a starter for England's u21s.

    I actually changed his strongest foot to right based on how he's played this season. Despite playing mostly on the left side he's tended to come back on his right more often than not. It's been marginal as he's obviously good with both, but he hasn't looked confidently left-footed so far (perhaps in large part due to being a centre half asked to play as a left back). His weaker foot did get an upgrade even though there was a change in which one that is. Maybe he'll change his mind himself soon?

    His variable PA range was set by the German research team based on last season's performances. I agree that it could be a little bit low given his profile but not massively so, and I haven't seen him play enough to think it's an obvious error that needs fixing. He's struggled quite a bit in his early appearances for us (as Marc Guehi did to be fair). His CA is certainly high enough to be involved in the England u20/21 sides in-game.

    Couple of Fulham issues:

    Luke Harris - his height is 177 cm (https://www.transfermarkt.com/luke-harris/profil/spieler/817612).

    Andreas Pereira - I believe he is a better dribbler and passer of the ball in real life than in the game (only 12 for dribbling and passing on BETA, I dont think he warrants such a downgrade from FM23).

    Bobby Decordova-Read - his main positions are AMRLC and he can occasionaly cover at RB and WBR so lower his RB and WBR marks (10 or lower perhaps).

    Harrison Reed -  I know most sites present his height as 181 cm but eye test tells us he is much shorter. https://www.reddit.com/r/fulhamfc/comments/15xu180/is_reed_adding_4_inches_to_his_height/

    Luke Harris also doesn't look quite that tall to me, but he does need a height entered in the db.

    If he wants to leave the club it's going to be because he feels he is too good for the division, in the game.

    So, do you want us to make him a worse player? Because we cannot increase the reputation of League One.

    At the moment Bannan's Ambition rating is fairly high, and greater than his Loyalty rating, which is going to influence his desire to move up divisions. He also only has Celtic listed in his favoured clubs, so adding a rating for Sheff Weds could be appropriate.

    Tim Ap Sion - Maybe it's random attributes but pace of 11 needs to be much higher. He ran athletics in Guernsey and did 100m in 11.5s

    https://www.thepowerof10.info/athletes/profile.aspx?athleteid=948204

     

    Like many 16 year olds he's got a nearly blank profile at the moment. Name obviously hints at the Welsh eligibility but I've not seen it confirmed. Guernsey born, was previously selected for an England u16s side (https://gsy.bailiwickexpress.com/gsy/news/ec-student-selected-independent-schools-national-team/#.Y1GT-HbMLnY)
