I believe it's 3 years youngsters need to be at your club to gain the "trained at club" description. I have an affiliate club 2 leagues below, could I loan players to this team and still achieve this, or do they have to remain at my club?

Everybody is different. I use no qualifications, Sunday league footballer, as that best describes me personally You have to be cautious and know your players Most people probably use the recommended qualifications and reputation. This would make sense for realism I guess

Not sure where I should have posted this, But I can't search on this forum? Every time I search, it shows 0 results for anything I look for, I have tried on mobile and MacBook? I have checked all my search parameters and I should definitely see some posts

Some nice changes mate! -A couple of personality “upgrades” really useful for mentoring -A few ability boosts -Option to call back Pearce and Coyle from loan is a bonus -Can raise a few quid if needs be Also, Foden can join on loan on deadline day (for me at least)

Thanks guys the player is Jack Clarke from Leeds, he’s only 17 so lots of time to nurture him He’s naturally a winger but I rarely use them

Without seeing the players name and position, what position and role you recommend? I want to base my team around this player. I was thinking shadow striker

On this update I had to add Croatian first division to find him, they wanted £25 million!

Nice boosts to Cooper and Clarke (shame about his natural fitness) in the update No more cheap Antonio Marin though 😂

Nice! Don’t want to spill the beans I take it? Can’t wait to get my teeth into a new save

@Seb Wassell Any CA/PA changes in the upcoming update mate?

Just had a read through to see if I could see an answer to my question before I posted. So many negative, unhelpful posts in a single thread Anyway, I saw the winter database is currently not included, but is player ability changes included in this? For example, I'd say David Brooks needed a boost in CA, is this kind of change included yet?

Hi mate, I had the exact same scenario when I signed him in a previous save. He saw little to no progression until he hit around 21, then bloomed. FM gives players certain time frames where they go through "spurts", maybe Ryan's is just a little later than most. Still turned out class for me eventually

Rossi has just got a 7 month injury 😂. 20 goals by January. Gutted. Had an injury clause so terminated his contract 😞

Yes, £5 million budget. I raised just under £7 million in sales- along with the reduction in wage. All players signed were on monthly instalments and a minimum initial fee

I have recently started a Sunderland save, after watching the Sunderland 'til I Die series (highly recommend it!) I have been amazed by some of the transfers I have been able to make and the funds available- Couldn't help but share. Obvious emphasis on young players but crazy that the likes of Tonali, Marin, Olsen, Kamara, Viviani and Vagnoman would play in league 1. Guiseppe Rossi on a free, he has been phenomenal! I also have these two coming in January, Hamad on a free and Rodrigues for 775k, both could do a job in the Premiership.
