  1. I agree with the role playing elements. Would be cool to see a few scenarios come up throughout the year (maybe like 2-4) where you get to choose how to react to it and will either have a positive, neutral or negative impact based on what you choose.

    Could be dressing room / training bust ups, etc but make up about 100 scenarios and play a few out each year to keep it interesting. 

  2. There are a few trends in player ratings I’ve picked up from playing FM and wondered if others have noticed the same. 
     

    - My GKs always have a relatively low rating. I once went a whole season conceding only 4 goals, yet my GK’s average rating was 6.85

    - My DMs always have a high rating in the game 

  3. As per the title, I’m curious to see what your record is for a season (league only). I got an offer to join Barca after 3 seasons and I took it on (boring I know). My first signing was Mbappe. He just scored 45 goals in 38 games. His record is as per below:

    1st season - 37 games, 39 goals

    2nd season - 37 games, 35 goals

    3rd season - 37 games, 35 goals 

    4th season - 33 games, 35 goals 

    5th season - 36 games, 20 goals 

    6th season - 38 games, 25 goals 

    7th season - 31 games, 27 goals 

    8th season - 38 games, 45 goals

    when they say do not expect much from this intake they usually means do not expect 4 stars and above which is world class players by spurs standard. doesnt mean that u cannot get a player good enough to start for you or be a rotation option. 2 squad players in 6 seasons is not bad since u already have a stacked team which i assume u do since u won 2 of the last 3 CLs. do u still get the leading development clubs in the league message? if u see ur team up there usually means that u are doing a good job for youth development and i feel that is actually a better benchmark for a top team since their youth graduates are unlikely to end up in their parent team due to the quality of players.

    Hey mate, thanks for explaining it makes a lot more sense to me now. I agree 2 isn’t a bad outcome all things considered. 

    I haven’t paid too much attention to those emails when I’ve received them to be honest but I will now. However, one thing I had noticed about them (unless this was a seperate email...) is that mine includes guys like Sessegnon (joined from Fulham) and Bellingham (who I signed), should these guys not be showing up for Fulham/Southampton seeing as though technically they were the clubs that produced them?

    What most ppl dun realize is reputation is the most important factor in getting good youth intakes. It doesn't matter if u have what level of youth facilities or even how ur youth staff is if ur reputation is low. This is especially true if ur club operates in a crowded region like London which is where spurs based in. Think about this if u are a young prospect will u want to go to PSG or Paris FC? Both are in the same Paris area but one has much higher reputation than the other.

    May I know have u at least surpass arsenal or Chelsea in terms of reputation? If not, then u know where all ur best London wonderkids will go. Also what is the highest potential star ratings u ever got in your intake?

    Hey mate, yeah I’ve surpassed both Arsenal and Chelsea. Won 2 of the last 3 CLs. In fairness I have had 1 or 2 players that I’ve developed into the first team squad even when I had the message “don’t expect much from this intake”, so perhaps it is just that the wording needs to be reconsidered. I’ve got one CM who had 4.5 star potential and will be a star, then I have a RB who didn’t look particularly good but as I was short on RBs I promoted him to the first team squad and he has developed himself into a handy player.

    i guess 2 squad players from the youth academy in 6 seasons is actually not too bad and reasonably realistic. 

  6. I think that in a year whereby Euros or World Cup is around the corner, if a player isn’t playing regularly by say January and are on the periphery of the squad that they should go to their manager to request a loan or transfer move to help increase their chances of a call up.

    I’d also like this option to be available for me if I’m coaching a national team, to be able to chat to a player and say they should seek a transfer / loan or will need to play more in order to be considered for selection.

  7. I’m into my 6th season now at Tottenham and I haven’t once had a youth intake preview that wasn’t deemed to be a poor one. I’m always receiving feedback saying “don’t expect much from this intake”.
     

    This is despite having “superb youth facilities” and “exceptional youth recruitment”. Is there something I’m missing here or am I just really unlucky? Anything else I can do?
