Flexible potential: Lets say players would keep their fix potential but there would the a +10 point “bonus” that SOMETIMES (rarely) with proper training AND outstanding performances could be reached on top of their fixed one. Simple thing and doesn’t make John Dunham in non-league Messi in a day, but you could achieve the “Klopp effect” when he signed good players and made them ELITE. Just go and check the Salah Mane Bobby Liverpool team’s players PAs before they joined and after 1-2 years at liverpool in the database. That is evidence that this could happen IRL, it's not just that scouts misjudge. Performance matters.

Here's my current view on the youth team where I tried to gather all important info for their development: But, many many info is currently missing from here. If we could add multiple custom columns there that would be fantastic and people shoudn't have to go to their own speardsheets. we should be able to add custom columns for comments and we should be able to edit the information just like a note that should be displayed in the squad view like this: So that we could spot and see key info we add on the squad view - I think its pretty easy to develop but would make our life so much easier.

Not sure if it's a feature or a skinning thing, but when you loan out players, the loaning team report should say the following beside the level of training facilities: Team's division Team's reputation League's reputation Team's predicted league position - sending out a young defender or striker to a team that's going to struggle in their league doesn't make sense since they'd probably get low match ratings. Also it could include stats like avg goals conceded, avg goals scored, avg chances created, avg match ratings of the players Loan manager's opinion on the players predicted actual playing time - maybe they just trying to get the deal done so they Loan manager's recommendation when you have multiple choices - from different aspects: best option for player development, best to maintain/grow value, best financial option for the club. just a sidenote: tbh loan managers are kinda useless now, they always **** up something so better not to let them loan your players Loan manager's opinion on potential adaptability issues -based in player's adaptability hidden attribute. Things like : player has already played in this league, this is his home country, or never played there and could have issues hitting the ground. If it takes 6 months for him to fit in why loaning him out? Also, you should be able to see these info when multiple team offer loans for your player: Loaning out players is a very important part of player development, and find a good club makes a big big difference. It would save us so much time on this task and would educate everyone to make a better decision. : ) Also this would at least validate the loan manager's role in the game.

hey, my cheif scout assigns scouts currently and I see that he assigns a given scout to multiple ongoing assignments: (see for example Tiago Costa, currently on 2 assignments) When I check Tiago Costa under the scouting assignments tab, it says he's currently focused on Austria, which is part of the Au-Ge-Swi ONGOING assignment: So what he's going to do ? Since his assignment is ongoing, will he "finish" and jump to the next assignment? Or what? Does it make sense to assign multiple ongiong assignments to anyone? Many thanks, best

Academies should be represented in the game. It should be adjustable which types of players academies recruit (junior recruitment) and which types of players they should produce (junior coaching), which is part of the club's vision. For example, La Masia produces players who are highly technical, focusing on attributes such as vision, passing, dribbling, and anticipation. At Ajax, the selection criteria were focused on recruiting youngsters with a strong mentality (personality and mental attributes), while the technical foundations were taught at the academy. This could be predetermined for some big clubs, similar to club vision, while for other teams or if you're creating the academy, the board could ask for recommendations. This could be simply provided in text, for instance: Junior recruitment criteria/priority: Personality, Mental attributes, Technical attributes, or Physical attributes. Junior coaching focus: Technical-passing: Focus attributes: Passing, vision, first touch, technique. Technical ball control: Focus attributes: Dribbling, first touch, technique, flair. Physical-endurance: Work rate, endurance, teamwork. Physical-speed: Acceleration, speed, balance. Mental-intelligence: Focus attributes: Anticipation, off the ball, positioning, decisions, vision. Mental-toughness (bravery, aggression, determination, work rate, team work). If you have better academies, you'd be able to pick 2-3 from the focuses. The quality of the academy staff would define the success of the academy, but they would prioritize these as they work. Of course, there would still be a random effect as most things do in FM, but the youth intake should somehow reflect to that... Not in every ocasion of course, but in general. This way, if I'm managing a club I want to play gegenpressing all day, I could ensure that I wouldn't get random youth coming through with no work rate, team work and so.

Generally, I try to keep the promised playing time as low as possible for all my players to avoid constant complaints about playing time if I rotate more during the period or if someone is in better form. Now, managing Auxerre, it's important for me to sell my players at a high price, and I'm not sure if increasing playing time (assuming they play matches anyway) would influence this positively. Question: If I were to increase someone's playing time, could it also increase their market value? For instance, if someone is labeled as a "squad player" but plays almost every match (e.g., Toti Gomes), could this increase the likelihood of the player knocking for a better contract? Thanks!
