Siven

I am planning on training Nunez to play AML just so hes a little more versatile if i want to play another forward upfont and rest the left inside forwards etc. Also hoping to train Bobby as a CM, but it seems to be going slow, stil awkward after a month. Hes got great stats for a CM. With a bit more testing, i sold Keita to City on day 1 for £40m + £11mil after 10 goals. Quite happy with that.

I hope so. In FM22 i had Van Dijk unhappy cos he missed a game as he was fatigued, and he even agreed to rest for the game. Hopefully all the game time related bugs and issues are fixed.

I am quite excited for release day. I've played a bit of beta, just to see the changes etc, but my first real save is on release day as theres always a day 1 patch with data updates. We know that Liverpool need a rebuild, especially in midfield and this excites me. Also looking for a backup to Salah. What i love about the game is how can i improve on real life while also being ruthless and selling the older players as we are also a business. Edit: i just noticed the thread title has a capital i in Liverpool.

I know brazilian youngsters wont join until they are 18. But like most, it depends on getting a work permit nowadays, which is the hardest part

Was no need for the post tbh. Tho all the screenshots are annoying to scroll past. Lest be honest tho, who really reads the first post of these threads? Im really just here to see how others are doing, what they are changing, new players etc.

One of the major things i want to get done this release, is to try end get the most out of TAA. He gets plenty of assists from corners, but i want to get more assists out of him from open play. Going to have to test roles and position for him.

Didnt work, but restarting PC did work. If anyone else gets same issue.

Hmm, i keep getting content file locked when trying to update

Thats meant to happen in betas. Updates and fixes. Its a normal thing to expect for game betas. Only glorified demos advertised as "betas" dont get updfates and fixes.

Looking at the squad, GK and Defence looks ok. Though i am looking at CD reinforcements in 2nd season. Gomez injury prone but good English backup. A good backup right back would be nice too. Ramsey lacks defensive stats even though hes young. Upfront we could do with a backup for Salah, i dont rate Elliot for that role, too slow bad stam and natural fitness. Might look for another striker after first season too, Firmino isnt getting any younger. Nunez need major work on his first touch, passing, technique and decisions. Carvalho's attributes and PA arent great, will be a backup at best. Midfield is our real problem. Keita and Ox, average, injury prone and 1 year left on contract. Milner great mentor, 1 year on contract, backup at best. Hendo getting on in years but great mentor and useful for a few seasons as backup. Thiago, great player but injury prone, high wages and getting older. Fabinho is still great (in game anyway, rela life atm is rather oof) for a good number of years. Jones is too slow for the wing imo, so better for CM, has good offensive attributes which can improve. Right now is a backup player. Stamina and natural fitness could do with improving is going for a high intensity tactic. Elliot is very similar to Jones, too slow for the wing imo, so better for CM, has good offensive attributes which can improve. Right now is a backup player. Stamina and natural fitness could do with improving is going for a high intensity tactic. In the first window its possible to sell Keita to city for £43m, and Thiago to PSG for £52m. Good prices for injury prone players in first window. Keita only has 1 year left on contract too. Possible signing are Bellingham, can be got for £30 upfront and £75m over 3 years. Rice, Caicedo, Kone and Camavinga are also possible first window signings. Can get a couple with good use of installments. Of course you could move TAA to CM and buy a good right back instead. I may try for Livramento in season 2.

Thread title: Rebuild time

Anyone else feel Elliot is in an awkward place. Hes a natural at CM now which is great, but his stamina of 13 and natural fitness of 9 just makes it feel like he wont be able to cope in CM. Got Bellingham for £30 upfront, £75 over 3 years and 20%. Seriously thinking of using TAA in midfield as Carrielo, loving wide so can keep crosses coming. But will need a good right back.

Firmino, Milner, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adrian on last year of contract. Injury Prone Thiago (31) with 2 years left also. Philips. All on my list for potential sale. A bit of testing found out i can manage to get £52m for Thiago (PSG), and £40m for Keita (City). I may get Ox on a new contract then sell him in 2nd season. His price will go up if successful. Firmino will prolly get a new contract too. Would of course live Bellingham, but think will have to wait till season 2 for the funds. Looking at Caicedo from Brighton for season1 midfield signing. Its looking like a fun rebuild tbh.

Excellent: 255,87,34 Good: 160, 220, 120 Average: 245, 245, 245 Low: 215, 204, 200 I found these colors years ago on this forum and find them to stand out nicely, but also fit the skin nice as they are not too bright and garish.

Anyone know if we can turn off the terrible looking headshot for our manager and just use a photo or blank head? Dont have FM22 installed and not played in a while to check.

Wont even think of ordering until i know more about changes and whats new. Along with screenshots. Prolly wont order until last 2 weeks before release day.

Set piece training video is out, and very interesting. Really enjoying the videos.

Very interesting video. Watched a few others too. Really interested to watch his upcoming videos on the other training sessions too. I do still like to have def shape and att movement tho, as they train individual roles. I have tried many training schedules, from BTN, RDF and Zealand. And most always fill every training slot. And as a top premier league team who mostly play 2 games a week, well fatigue is always an issue so nowadays i try to have 2-3 rest sessions along with recovery after matches to help combat fatigue, which alot of other training schedules dont really seem to consider.

I actually think its bugged too. Got Van Dijk back to satisfied, then had a chat with him, said i'd rest him for 2 weeks and he was happy with that. After the next match he is back to concerned becuase he didnt play while being rested. Silly bug. Edit: same with Robertson. Was Satisifed, happy with a rest from next match, after the next match he was concerned.

There does seem to be a problem with playing time happiness in the years game. Example i have is Van Dijk, as Important player is currently concerned about his playing time. He has played 17 out of 20 possible games. Dropped for 1 prem, 1 champ league, and 1 cup games. He is now becoming fatigued so needs a rest and is concerned about his playing time. I can say the same for several players, from squad player to regular starters. They dont seem to take into account cup game importance and when they need a rest. It is an issue with the game imo. Never had a problem in past version of teh game.

How many rest days a week should i be using in training to help with players fatigue? Playing as Liverpool, and a lot of weeks we have 2 games, so battling fatigue can become an issue for the players who want to play all the time. Giving the players a rest now and again of course, though gotta be careful with happiness due to agreed playing time being a bit harsh this version. So how many rest days do you find works?

First season i got Vagnoman for 3.1m. Mainly because i can sell him on for a profit later when Neco Williams comes back from loan to be my backup RB.

Anyone had success training Elliott as a CM? Just started playing again, and he doesnt have enough stamina or pace to play on the wing imo. So hoping to train him as a CM, really need to work on his defensive side tho.
