I made this recreation in fm 21. 442 of the ball, 23,35/325 on the ball depending on the opponents shape Let's just say it was pretty dominant. I didn't lose a single game all season in all comps:

KDB is obviously world class, but he’s not the best player in the world like he is in fm23

Another monsterclass from Saliba today. 13 composure is just way off

Gabriel has 14 composure and has made way more errors under pressure than Saliba, not only this season, but also last. Do you think Gabriel is more composed comparatively to Saliba. I don’t really think anyone can come to that conclusion.

Thanks. Anything on Saka's strength? 9 seems very low. He dominates full backs physically

Arsenal fan here - Jesus 16 finishing is far too high for someone who underperformed his xg by 20 goals at city and is underperforming his xg again at arsenal. Would suggest 13 or even 12 in an ideal world. Also an argument for his composure to be lowered instead. That should be balanced by increasing his dribbling to 17 (always goes on a mazy run in almost every game), acceleration and pace to 16 (very quick over the first 5 yards especially). Aggression to 15 (he’s an absolute nuisance and his stats should reflect the fact he’s the embodiment of what a pressing forward should be). Determination of 13 is also low (he never gives up in a game and is relentless). Bravery increase to 15 the game presents him as a clinical advanced forward which is quite far away what he is in real life so he needs quite a bit of changing imo. His stats should be more reflective a pressing forward which is essentially what he is.

Ronaldo isn’t one of the best dribblers ever

the man utd side were struggling because of him. March to may then. Doesn't make it much better. 14 goals in 37 apps. He's finished. i

he has 14 goals in 37 games in 2022. It's not 10 bad games. He's been bad for the entire year bar the purple patch he had from april to may last season

Yes defenders literally bounce of him

Rightfully so if you’ve watched both players. The reason son is so good is because of his ridiculous shooting (deserves 19/20 finishing to be honest). Tbf Saka’s stats are fairly accurate barring his strength

Saka is actually underrated so not sure how you’ve come to the conclusion that he’s too good. 9 strength is terribly low his mentals are is his strongest attribute which matches how he plays plays irl. Arsenal would also never sell him for lower than 100m so your price sounds fairly realistic. Also you can’t really name 5 better right wingers than him in the world right now. He’s very fairly rated

Definitive attributes is still better than no attributes where you can’t tell whether mbappe is faster than Maguire. Also it’s not an opinion to say mbappe is without doubt one of the fastest players in the world. Whether he’s the fastest or not doesn’t really matter in terms of the attribute debate

The match engine is nowhere near good enough to tell any significant differences between attributes from watching

Never got the playing with no attributes logic. It makes zero sense from a footballing perspective. Because in real life you’d always know one player is faster than another, or that a player is a better finisher than another, or that one player is a better passer. Just from watching if you have a good eye

Their issue is absolutely player quality. You aren’t going to win the league with Rashford, sancho, Antony, martial and finished Ronaldo as forward options. Not too mention their midfield and defence is not title winning quality either

Think this has been mentioned a couple times but Saka’s 9 strength is egregious. Full backs consistently bounce off him. They can’t match him from a physical perspective. Probably the one of the best wingers at shielding the ball before bursting past the full back. Literally his go to move.

Smith rowe out performed his xg by 5 in 21/22 and outperformed again in 20/21 in limited minutes by almost 2. Every metric suggests he’s a well above average finisher https://understat.com/player/7230

Jesus looks the same level as lacazette did on fm20😂. He has worse physical which is laughable

Saka 9 strength is a joke

Thanks. Some questionable attributes as always from the arsenal researcher

Saka please

Best you can do is have an advanced playmaker or inverted winger on sit narrower.

The tactics creator is about 6 years behind football tactics evolution. That’s ignoring everything in relation to the graphics and the match engine

Would be nice if fm added a list of all time top scorers/assisters for each competition. Would be nice for some acknowledgement that my star striker has broken sheared record for most pl league goals or ronaldo’s total cl gos
