  1. So, I'm managing tycoon driven KAA Gent in Belgium, and we won the league last season and had a great spell in the Champions League (CL) where we got to the semi final but lost to Bayern Munich. The year is 2050 and I'm looking for players that are not yet developed, but can become players winning the CL. My scouts found this guy and I'm quite interested as he's a perfectionist and got a couple of stars to grow. The only problem I got is, if I get him, where do I play him? And in what role? This is my current main striker btw, so I can see Rodrigues to become a supporting player to my main striker. But what role do I give Rodrigues? Not enough Jumping for a Target Man Passing not the best for a DLF F9 wouldn't work the best with my main striker (i think) Not great finishing for AF Maybe a PF? What do you think? This is the tactic I had success with so I'm not thinking of changing it. I can see Rodrigues maybe fitting in the DLF position:
  2. BAZINGA! Not exactly the attributes I expected.
  3. I got an update on Agot. One of the reasons I like him is because he is a player from South Sudan, and I love finding players from obscure countries (even though he developed in Belgium), AND he's also a Home Grown player which helps, but not necessary as I have enough of them already. So I decided to not sign Agot for 47M and I let him go back to Man City. His 2nd half of the season was average so that made my decision a bit easier. BUT, at the very first day back at training in the new season, I did a sneaky 19.5M bid for Agot and to my surprise, it was accepted! He was happy to sign for us so I've now signed him up for the next 3 seasons Lorentzen Junker is still at the club, but the transfer window just opened and he already draws interest of the following clubs:
  4. Just an update, playing a bit slower these days due to work commitments, but we're just after the January transfer window and my Danish midfielder hasn't been poached yet. Inter Milan came with a 30M bid which I could easily reject without upsetting my player as I promised to accept any bids of 78M. Funnily enough, my player has a 39.5M release clause for teams in the Champions League, which Inter is. They didn't put a higher bid in so I can still keep Lorentzen Junker in the squad. So what is going to happen with Agot? He was actually out for a month with a twisted ankle, and now has a cold for a week so he hasn't featured much in the last 2 months. I'm still not sure if I should get him end of season as 47M is quite a lot. I have found a great (cheaper) alternative if I decide to not get Agot: Columbian/Austrian Santiago Riveros that I should be able to get for about 15M: Watch this space....
  5. Update on Will Cross, he's now 28 and playing for Toulouse. Never really developed into a winger that should provide crosses: Didn't have mant assists either:
  6. No it isn't, but I'm a tightass and don't want to overspend. Also helps we had a South-Korean tycoon takeover at the end of last season , following up from a Hungarian tycoon and they were unable to secure a Qatari tycoon takover last winter. Didn't know Gent was such hot property with tycoons!
  7. Great! Thanks for the feedback. The reason I want to develop the belgian player is because the player currently in AP position is being followed by Leeds, Southampton, Spurs and Inter. Meaning if they would come with an offer (which is quite likely during the winter transfer window), I would likely have to accept it as the player would otherwise become unhappy and create a negative atmosphere in the dressingroom considering he is a highly influential player. He's already kicked up a stink for rejecting a last minute bid by Watford previous transfer window after which I promised to sell him if a 78M offer comes in. Watford was offering well below 78M, but I'm afraid teams like Spurs and Inter will get to that amount. So I guess if they turn out to buy my Danish midfielder, I can afford to buy Agot with that money at the end of the season. Unless I find a cheaper and better player for that position in the meantime.
  8. I'm managing AA Gent in the Belgian top division and I've loaned this player from Man City with a hefty optional future fee. We just started the season and I'm thinking to purchase him at the end of the season, if there is any chance to develop him further. The amount that City wants is about 80% of my transfer budget so if I get him, I need to make sure he'll be one of my best players, which looks like that may be possible. According to my staff, he's got 1 star to grow, but the problem is: he is already 22yo. So my question is: What do I need to do to make him reach his full potential? This is what I'm currently doing: He's getting a good amount of playing time (currently 7 games into the season and he's played 4 games so far in the league, and 4 in the Conference League). I'm likely keeping him as a starting 11 player so that should help. He may get swapped as I got a few players that can play in his position. I want to make him an AMC-AP role, but I currently have a player that is much better at that position, so I'm playing him as a shadow striker for now. Not too bad in this position either as he already got the following stats: I haven't added him to a mentoring group as I think a "resolute" personality should be ok to develop further Any other tips you can think of? I'll probably review his attributes at the end of the season but I really want to know what else I can do to make him grow, considering he is already 22. I kinda need home-grown players so that's why I am really interested in keeping him on the squad... if he develops a bit more... These are my facilties: And this is his report: And his history: Man City got him when he was 19, loaned him to Sturm Graz where he performed quite well. Also played a few games in EPL but not exactly convincing. When I signed him on loan from City, I tried to negotiate a lower future fee, but that was the only thing they didn't want to modify. So I got a big call to make if I want to spend that amount of money at the end of the season.
  9. Have you ever signed a player because of the name? Or in my case, I opted to not sign a player because of the name: I'm managing Juventus in 2042, and my scout recommends a similar younger player to my MC playmaker Austrian Florian Schmidt. And his name is Mikkel Schmidt from Denmark. So the successor for Schmidt is Schmidt. This would get confusing when putting the team sheet together, so I decided to pass on buying Mikkel. I decided to go with a younger player that has room to grow while Florian Schmidt is winding down:
  10. After surfing and music, he became a tycoon and took over Sion in the Swiss League:
  11. He's definitely littler than anyone else in the team!
  12. Good name for a winger! Will he though? With attributes like this:
  13. One save for me. I tried two saves once but I started to mix the two saves in my head. I ended up in situations where I allowed to let my star striker go because I had my eye on a young Serbian player and I knew I had the resources to buy him. Only problem was that said Serbian player was a newgen in my other save.
