[Nordsjaelland decision making]

I'll take this into consideration. I hope I can find a way to trick the system without dropping their technical or physical attributes too much.

Long story short, decisions take up too much CA space, and making a profile with that little CA in U-squads can be tricky. I can leave it at random, like many others do.

AaB: Have 42 U19 players, but only twelve of them have data for their decisions, and the most they gave them was just 10.

St. Johnstone: Have 18 U19 players, but only three of them have data for their decisions.

Andreas Hansen from FCN is way more of a sweeper-keeper than he is in game. His passing should be at least 14 his kicking +15 his handling could be lowered a bit to 11-12, eccentricity should be higher he can make some mistakes, technique a bit higher as well.

 

Well, Hansen is already quite a sweeper keeper with 12 passing and kicking is not about open play passing, it is about goal kicks and play restarts, though for long clearances, kicking is also accumulated, but sweeping is more of a passing issue. Maybe we can give him some more for his technique.

So if we look at the 14-15 passing range and above, Ederson 18, ter Stegen 17, Neuer 15, Bravo 15, Ryan 14, Alisson 14, Onana 14, Mendy 14, I don't think Hansen is much more of a passer than these.

https://www.tipsbladet.dk/nyhed/superliga/ogura-er-jo-ikke-superliga-maalmand-endnu - Even the coach pointed to the fact, that he is def not a Superliga-level keeper yet. Other than that, I think your evaluations are good. Thanks for taking it into account. It's just a question of making Andreas Hansen the undoubted starter for FC Nordsjælland as he is maybe an average-to-good Superliga-keeper whereas Ogura is just not at that level yet.

Thanks and no big deal. I always believe that a critical approach to FM data is a must because FM data is based on our sightings and for a bigger consensus, the more the merrier, and I agree with you and him that he is not that at first-XI level yet, so around 95-100 CA is ok now.

Also Andreas Schjelderup in FC Nordsjælland should have his stats lowered.

He is an amazing talent, but i don't think he deserves to be the best player in the Superliga.

OK, fair point, but can you write a bit more about why and which attributes should be lowered?

CA-wise, he is in the top 5.

Dribbling attribute in the top 2.

First touch attribute in the top 3.

Passing attribute at the top.

Technique attribute in the top 5.

Anticipation attribute at the top.

Composure attribute in the top 10.

Concentration attribute in the top 30.

Decisions attribute in the top 30.

Off the ball attribute in the top 4.

Vision attribute at the top.

I assume you probably say some of these should be lowered, right? Currently, he is overperforming, as we see that before, players that left FCN for other European teams got better CA and attributes than rated here.

Mads Bidstrup’s work rate and stamina should be increased. I would really describe him more as a box-to-box midfielder with incredible work rate.

 

Oliver Villadsen definitely needs an upgrade. He is so quick and has really made that right back position his at Nordsjælland.

 

Emmanuel Ogura in FC Nordsjælland: How on earth has he got those stats? He is nowhere near that good. Andreas Hansen is miles ahead of him. I do not know how he has been rated like that!

For Bidstrup, well, his stamina was already 12, so raising it to 13-15 is no big deal and would be fair. At least according to my game, he was more of a central midfielder support or deep-lying playmaker, but he can also play very well at box-to-box; his work rate was already at 15, so we can figure something out for him. 16-17 might be the way to go.

Villadsen's pace is 13, which we can increase to 14 and possibly 15. His CA is 110 but can be 115. We will see about that.

Ogura, I don't think Ogura was rated too high. His performance was average rather than terrible, so 105 CA is pretty much average for liga players, but I don't mind dropping him around 100 too. And for Hansen, maybe he was rated lower, so the way to approach this, maybe raising him around 110 would be much more fair.

Thanks for your input and feel free to write more. I'd like to hear and see more of this critical analysis.
