Good season.
I have just started as Everton. How are you lining up?
I am struggling to find a tactic I like.
My tactic on two saves since with Everton has been this one and I've finished much stronger on both of those saves. You do need quite a lot of overhaul in players to get it working initially I find though.
Can you tell I love Everton, Fornals and Yusuf Demir? Haha!

I created quite a successful tactic across various saves with Everton, it evolved over time, mind. I finished 6th first season with this tactic on my very first save. The first variation was used across the season with DCL as AF, Richarlison as LW, Fornals as AP and W was either Gray or Iwobi. The second variation is more reflective of the current team selection too.

So i been having Erling Haaland on my Man United save and im thinking of selling him.. for the past two years he has won all the individual award for a player.. balon'dor , best player, best striker..
Worth 88mil, so im curious, what is the highest fee anyone has received from selling Erling Haaland on the game.. be it FM 22 or previous versions.
I think it has to be a waiting game with an elite player like that, if you transfer list him, chances are you won't get a massive bid whereas if you wait, see a bit of interest in the player then organically teams will make larger bids. I have seen him move for £150m between AI clubs though. I also personally bought him for £110m with Leeds on FM20 but he is a fair bit better on this version.

i know what its based off but i dont get the HUGE difference in the valuation and the players expectation of his value. like in my save there was no way he should be valued at 35m ( i even would of been surprised at him being valued at 10M ) but is the difference i'm questioning.
I think ultimately what you find is that high reputation clubs can command larger fees for players though because of their reputation and ultimately 'smaller' clubs have this ideology that hey, that player is a promising player from a top four team so the game values them accordingly due to various factors.
Ultimately, the player is probably a bit more realistic with their expectations of value if they want playing time, they'll certainly want to jump ship at a much more appealing price to attract more clubs as opposed to only richer clubs/other high rep clubs where they won't play. However, I do agree there is a lot of discrepancy on the game, I have had similar instances but not as extreme in variability between the values.

what is the story with player valuations. Balagizi valued between 34-40mil, i offer him out and hes annoyed as he feels his value should be 750k
how can it be that far off????????????????????????
It's based off of his potential on your save and the reputation of your club. It doesn't necessarily mean that anyone will pay it.

He's natural CB, but with only a jumping reach of 10 I don't want him at the back. Currently having him train as a DM as defensive midfielder. Is that the best course of action?
Yes, I would say so. Unless you trained his strength to improve his jumping reach significantly.

OK so if they have really high potential, but low ability they won't get it as description until ability increases?
Whereas someone with high ability (for a youngster) with lower potential may get wonderkid tag?
Essentially yes to both of your questions, providing the current ability hits the certain threshold.
1 -
The only important thing that dictates whether a player is a wonderkid or not is their level of current ability. I won't type in the exact number of current ability as I'm aware some people don't want to know these details.

Any of them are good shouts, stick them into a random name wheel! However, Kaiserslautern are good because you completely avoid any work permit complications.

I've recently got a new laptop and fm 2022, not played properly for a few years. I'm tempted by Barcelona and man utd saves, but are they too easy? From scanning through the forum no one has really touched barca, I see that as rebuilding the squad and trying to make the club solvent again. Man utd we all know what needs doing there, but are they easy saves or they something you can get stuck in with?
Honestly, if you've not played the game for years - you might as well give either of them a go. They are both good saves to ease you back into the quirks of the game. I wouldn't necessarily say they are difficult saves but it's up to you, you can always challenge yourself further by not actually buying any players at Barcelona for example and just using players from their academy.

I LOVE this list. Player personalities is a big key for me in transfer targets.
In addition to some well known and personal favorites (Max Eggestein has long been on my fav IRL who I think is vastly underrated in FM), there are also lot of players I wasn't aware of. Thailand's Suphanat Mueanta is an especially cool find!
Thank you
You're welcome buddy. Eggestein's brother, Johannes was a great wonderkid on an earlier FM, really enjoyed him.
I've also added Ekanit Panya to the list who is another great Thai player alongside Nattawut Suksum (perhaps not as good as the other two!) - Mueanta is really, really good. If any of these go to a decent enough European nation first, you can get them work permits in England too.

The intricacies of mentoring have fascinated me since FM20, FM22 is no different after attempting to make an army of model citzens on FM21. I have found myself favouring the approach of striving for players with good personalities on my various Everton saves that I play across the year and I feel as though this is something that I will always do on the game now, especially when playing with Everton.
Alas, I like 'absolutes' in this game and something that does irk me is the 0 attributes for personalities, this is especially poignant in younger players - understandably so, as researchers clearly won't have a read on what some younger players are like as people. However, this collection of players either have more or less fixed attributes (some may have one or two) that aren't far from being mentored into being model citizens within a couple of years. Some are well known, some are obscure.
GK - Tim Ronning, Dominik Livakovic (not far from being a model citizen, 'professional' is excellent), Inaki Pena, Caoimhin Kelleher, Altay Bayindir, Alvaro Fernandez, Andre Gomes, Samuel Brolin, Daniel Naumov, Diogo Costa and Vladan Kovacevic.
RB - Pierre Kalulu, Junior Sambia, Fabio Depaoli, Vanderson, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Davide Calabria, Joakim Maehle, Max Aarons, Diogo Spencer and Robert Gumny/Karol Fila (to a lesser extent).
LB - Giuseppe Pezzella, Kostas Tsimikas, Alejandro Balde, Tyrell Malacia, Luca Netz, Guilherme Montoia, Nuno Mendes, Marco Cucurella, Eric Kahl and Victor Kristiansen.
CB - Chris Mepham, Waldemar Anton, Illya Zabarnyi, Valentin Antov, Maximilian Wober, Andrea Papetti, Giorgio Scalvini, Mattia Gabbia, Kamil Piatkowski, Jules Kounde, Kristoffer Ajer, Oscar Mingueza, Diogo Queiros, Tom McIntyre, Pedro Ganchas, Tiago Djalo, Benoit Badiashile, Edvin Tellgren, Mario Tudose and Goncalo Inacio.
DM - Rafael Luis, Luis Munoz, Jandro Orellana, Declan Rice, Lutsharel Geertruida (can cover a variety of positions), Gonzalo Villar, Yannik Keitel, Magnus Kofod, Berat Ozdemir, Hidemasa Morita and Rafael Brito.
CM - Sotiris Alexandropoulos, Daniil Fomin, Raul Guti, John Bjorkengren, Patrick Berg, Vitinha, Matheus Nunes, Willot Swedberg, Isak Bergmann Johannesson, Scott McTominay, Manuel Locatelli, Maxime Lopez, Maximilian Eggestein, Sivert Mannsverk, Andri Fannar Baldursson, Nico, Tiago Dantas, Can Bozdogan, Jude Bellingham and Paulo Bernardo.
AMC - Yusuf Demir, Pablo Fornals, Emanuel Vignato, Pedro Goncalves, Riqui Puig, Pedri, David Larrubia, Rodrigo Valante, Filip Krastev, Josh Dasilva, Matteo Pessina, Daniel Nachev and Emile Smith Rowe.
AML - Suphanat Mueanta, Ismail Jakobs, Amine Gouiri, Rodrygo, Matias Vargas, Todd Cantwell, Mohamed Daramy, Marvin Obuz and Jens Petter Hauge.
AMR - Ajdin Hasic, Alex Collado, Pedro Neto, Robert Skov, Bukayo Saka, Patrik Walemark, Dennis Collander, David Brooks, Ekanit Panya and Jovane Cabral.
ST - Goncalo Ramos, Nils Froling, Tim Lemperle, Tiago Tomas, Jonas Wind, Giacomo Raspadori, Andrea Belotti, Ansu Fati, Mason Greenwood, Gabriel Martinelli, Jonathan Burkardt, Dusan Vlahovic, Youssofa Moukoko, Kasper Dolberg, Roberto Piccoli, Eddie Nketiah, Jan Thielmann and Lorenzo Colombo.
Stick any of these in mentoring groups with model citizens (some in the list already are) and you may well make a few of them into model citzens yourselves.

His natural fitness is really poor, I'd probably swerve him on that basis but I'm very picky.

On the plus side, so far Calvert-Lewin has shown no indication of ever wanting to leave the club, and has encouraged me to reject bids for him. So there's that!
One thing I'd maybe say is to sign him a new deal without a wage rise because some of his bonuses are quite hefty in his contract I have found, especially the 20% rise.

So what's the best solution for something like this? I definitely wanna avoid it happening to me.
Monitor their game time very carefully, think Foden at City. Brine them in with substitute appearances at 18 and ensure you don't start them too often. If they play a full season starting at 17/18 and get a bumper contract - it tends to be the case that naturally their demands are astronomical. Accepting the contract tends to decrease their personality and also playing them in too important games too young. For example, a 16 year old scored the winner in a UCL final for me and his professionalism fell of a cliff despite not giving them a new contract.
I tend to negate any of this by giving them an optional 3 year extension on their very first contract so they won't need a new contract anytime soon.

Got these two through my first intake on my United save. Possibly something to work with
Peto looks interesting but it's a shame he lacks in consistency and seems to be quite injury prone. I'd personally get him training as a shadow striker (AMC) or pressing forward to try and bump that concentration as much as possible. Get him in a mentoring group with Ronaldo too, that'll be helpful for him.

Do Everton move into their new stadium in this save?
Yes, at the start of the 2024/25 season.

The first season is a grind for me... I will be honest
I finished 5th in the first season, I try and shift the culture of personalities in the squad to a much more professional outlook from the off and that tends to have a positive impact. I sell the likes of Allan who are pretty unprofessional and go from there.

Mentoring too possibly?
Mentoring tends not to have too significant effects, only a small jump - one attribute point per hidden statistic.

Did you start playing them excessively before they turned 18? Are they on a large contract now? These are both factors that can severely impact hidden attributes - for newgens anyway.

I play an Everton save every year, I'm always fairly successful when managing them on the basis that I know the ins and outs of the squad so well based on past versions too. I genuinely just clear all of the deadwood in season 1 as best as possible and focus on watching DCL carry us for the first couple of season, he's actually unreal on the game. Richarlison is always one I like to shift out in second two or three as his personality isn't the best.

He reminds me a lot of Marco Kana of years gone by, I think there's plenty of scope for him to play CB, CDM or in CM depending on your need, looks like he'd make a good box-to-box also.

A few young British gems for you that are easy to get at the start of your saves if you play in England. Ignore the estimated price for Leon King, I think I got him for about £700k.
Smith's determination isn't always 1 - seems to be set at 0 on the pre-game editor, a few of these are like that.
Here's quite an obscure one from the talent pool that is Benfica too.
Vukelic also looks very solid but difficult to get a work permit in England.

I just watched a video on Youtube from FM Scout and they reccomend this striker who plays for Red Bull Salzburg called Benjamin Sesko. He is an 18 year old 6ft 4 Slovenian who ends up becoming a superstar striker.
You probably wont be able to sign him in the first season as he signed a new contract but keep an eye on him. He will probably cost £15-£20m but worth it from the looks of the video.
In the video he ended up getting over 500 goals in 575 appearances or something like that.
Here is a screenshot of him.

This was from my beta save with Everton, he's fantastic.

9 times out of 10 it will be Raspadori as his potential is fixed whereas Brenner's varies from save to save but can be higher. Honestly though, Brenner has some excellent starting attributes regardless of where his potential lands on your save. I've found he's a consistent performer too. Raspadori would be a good shout for a homegrown option though.
