BigV

Been in since fm20 if im not mistaken. It basically means they've poached a player you would've seen in next years youth intake. Similar to what happens irl between the manchester clubs and academies. Its a rare thing in the game.

I myself am using 433 but my DM's ratings and stats in game are always below 6.7 on a press more often tactic. High possession would assume, low tempo and short passing and maybe playing narrow to create overloads and have one winger PI to stay wider for the switch/1v1.

Your save is getting more ridiculous by the season Incredible stuff

Sell and get the best of the best on cheaper wages.

You could so I assume you still can

I bought Hickey cause I heard his potential was a wordclass LB/RB, I replaced AWB with him and hes perfect, blended right in for my squad.

You can be passionate and still be critical in feedback rather than saying the same stuff several times. Tweaks were made, i'm certainly getting more on avg than I was which is what the patch notes and zach stated. Im currently doing a test whereby im comparing 6months of scouting, from my previous save to the new save, im 4 months into my new one and have an extra 64 reports, some being more recommendations rather than near matches. It's still nowhere near what was during the past fm but it's *something*- my point was a Data update is not the same as the major update, there'll be more bugs and hopefully this issue, that will be fixed.

Saying the same things over and over again isnt going to help you nor them sort this issue, voicing your issue constantly is going to clutter up analysis others have done and make things harder to skim through and find the appropriate posts. There are others who are in the same boat as you and have just not said anything because they haven't got the feedback to give cause its been covered quite extensively in here and the general feedback thread. There's still a major update to be done, this was just a DATA one, yeah you can be dissapointed and let them know, but be critical about it rather than just stating it. E.G. that post above.

No, they monitor them all, they have it plugged into their systems, creating more and more will just make you angry when or if, they dont respond.

Yeah he was and I rated him before coming here but sometimes things dont click. I would've said pressure but he's too composed and mentally built like a brick wall so im not sure what the issue is irl. Hes a bit slow off his mark and his positioning is poor at times, not sure if thats coaching or just straight up adapting to changes and it not coming to him straight away, hes been ok though, not great mind you, but his stats do say different.

Mainoo's PA has gone to 150-180 so even at the worst you still have a solid prem player, anyone who gets the 180 range will be having one of the best midfielders in game. Attributes increased aswell.

I know it's mentioned in the patch notes of sorts but dont forget this is a "DATA" update plus can be different with different saves. I asked a friend today after the update and it seems he's getting a reasonable amount but still a little less than the start of the game's cycle engine thing or whatever you call it.

He's perfect as a libero but cause its such a niche role, you need other players to cover positions. I usually use it in big games to spring a tactical surprise and hasn't let me down yet. Onana never got a buff after his inter season which is crazy but kinda correct cause he's not doing great irl now, always replaceable- im getting diogo costa in my 2nd season. Fitzgerald has dynamic potential so its different every save, his potential for me is decent prem player. Best you get is a very good prem player so always worth keeping around and getting the best out of him. Gore is the same but his overall attributes are very solid for an 18 year old so he'd be a great rotation/backup once he's developed abit with game time.

Libero, DM but I do primarily use BPD but like yourself his ratings do often swing one way or the other.

Appreciate the update Zach! Quick question, surely the ‘include results found in other recruitment focuses' inflates what another scout has done? for example, if im scouting spain with 1 scout and the other is on laliga, one scout out of them 2 would be giving the report but having the same report in the other just adds more players they didnt scout.
