As the Liverpool researcher, I can't recall ever finding a reliable consistent source for height and weight, so I haven't set Quansah's height but agree he should be similar to VVD

I'll ask for further clarification

With respect @pamf has asked this before with this official SI response... That is still my understanding - I can't comment on why, if correct, Man United may have had two

TAA has hardly played at CM for Liverpool to be considered accomplished. I am sure he probably could be but he's hardly played as an 8. As a 6 he has played c20+ games recently and when he played there for u16/u18s. I would strongly argue that TAA is not a a great defensive player - his key attributes are progressive ones. Again he hasn't played that many games on the left and when he has it has been to replace Robertson during games when Robertson was playing his Wing- back role.

As in recent previous iterations we only allow for one Ass Man in the EPL

A high Finishing attribute does not mean they score more goals. Other attributes collectively can contribute to goalscoring such as; Technique, Anticipation, Composure, Concentration and Off The Ball. On top of that you have other factors to take into account, physical / mental attributes, team, tactics, league etc I'm guessing Weghorst's finishing is higher than Rashford based upon him historically scoring more goals recently in his career compared to Rashford. Since 2018, Weghorst has scored 71 in 161 games, Rashford has 56 goals in 151. Plus Weghorst has been 'scored' by 3 different researchers for 3 different clubs across 3 different leagues in the last 3 years, presuming the Man Utd researcher didn't change anything in January as the sample of games was too small. Therefore the last meaningful research was for Besiktas where he scored 1 every 2 games.

Well spotted. Thank you

Didn’t know that, have you got any evidence of that at all?

It does. It appears as his 2nd nation in the DB. However I have him declared for England (which I need to double check) which is probably where the error appears

Datalock was over two weeks ago so your opinion couldn't have been taken in to account unfortunately. Hopefully it will be considered for the next DB update

Yep, fair point

Not all attributes are random. I don't give him the random attributes you refer to if that's where the confusion is. He is allocated random attributes by the AI. He came from Celtic with random attributes as the Celtic AR may not have seen enough of him as he did make a big leap from schoolboy to first team there. I hope to change that as he continues to progress at a higher level with more game time. I reiterate don't get carried away with his attributes but his performances and development at that level. I've not 'missed the ball', the more I see him at this level (or even higher), the more accurate the range of his attributes will be.

Datalock was 24th Oct iirc

I'm the Liverpool researcher and I have seen him play for us. His CA is significantly greater than any other u18 player for LFC which is the squad he started to play with. His first game for our u21s was 8th October, he only played c120 mins for our u21s prior to datalock. Yet his CA is already in the top half of our u21 players. His PA is very, very high too and potential range should be reached in game. Do not get carried away with his attributes but his performances and development at that level. So with respect, I've not 'missed the ball', I need to see him more now that he's playing at a higher level to ensure his attributes become more reflective

Not enough injuries in FM23, totally unrealistic particularly for Norwegian strikers. Scripted for sure

Definitely report that as a bug. I'm not happy about that at all. SI are awful to let this through

Your post will be lost here. I know the following thread exists, please add your points there please.

@Pete Sottrel Note this is incorrect the Anfield Road expansion should be finished in June 2023

There isn't anything in the DB when researching that details how many scouts you can have, so if I identify 23 that's how many I put in the game. Can you log it as a bug please - I agree with your logic on this

Can you see the actual PA? Or look at hidden attributes. I have a small window to hopefully change things before datalock after my holiday.

Konate - what are you seeing as his PA? Doak should be ok hitting his PA range Bajcetic has had his CA raised 31% from his last iteration ( I think the biggest rise in the whole playing squad) Gordon - unfortunately that’s correct Clark - a tough one his CA has been raised 20% though

Unless you use the in-game editor to change him when it’s available What are you seeing as Konate’s PA?

The wife booked the holiday - talk about bad timing🤯 You guys in this thread are usually more rational, so I’d welcome any other feedback please.

Hi. I’m away on holiday so don’t have access to the DB. You will not be using the latest DB so I think I may have already changed it but I’ll check before datalock. Cheers
