[Why do English work permits take so long in game?]

In real life people are getting signed without having to wait 1 week or more and coaches get signed without waiting 2 weeks all the time.

The game has a few better stats than shots now, speaking of which.. Just how unlucky are Brighton? Expected goals analysis of Graham Potter's side (sportinglife.com)

There's also in-game expected Point tables, which can give somewhat of a clue as to how much luck or bad luck is at work for any given season (AI managers can underperform this by as much as 15 points, e.g. they dropped 15 points in matches where they had the better xG value). 

Ok well i did say i was probably talking bollocks. 

I let the frustration get the better of me and went off on a stupid rant, apologies.

This does happen to me but it's rare for me, its likely due to an issue with your teams tactics, id recommend having a  look in the tactics forum if you're interested in getting suggestions/help on it

I am not having issues with my tactics i am currently having a dominant season. My only complaint is the game has too much of a luck element to it, i get it teams get lucky sometimes but it doesn't happen in real life on the scale it does in game. Why shouldn't i go unbeaten in a season or smash everyone just because the game decides, not today son your going to balloon every easy chance you get while the striker on the opposite team with 10 finishing turns into prime Ronaldo slots home his 1 chance or the amc with 6 long shots turns into Messi and curls in a 35 yard shot with the teams only chance of the game.

In real life this kind of stuff happens once or twice a season if that... in my game its like 4-8 games a season.

I am just saying it would be cool to tone down the luck element. More than likely i am just talking bollocks and i am just salty it happened to me 2 games in a row after smashing everyone.

Does anyone find they get a lot of those annoying games in this years version where you dominate the game miss all your 20+ chances and then the other team has 2 shots and wins 1-0. Or gets a lucky 1-1 draw from 1 shot on goal etc.

Its like the game is trying too hard to prove that this stuff happens in real life. Yeah i get it, it happens in real life too... but nowhere near as regularly as it does in this game.

It just feels like forced bad luck. 

Anyway rant over

First post here so hey guys :)

Few things i have noticed on this years game and current patch.

• You can easily get/make a club legend/ best player in world through having a set piece specialist. With crosses from corners/ free kicks being counted as key passes I got Lemar at Atleti to club legend status in 2 seasons and he's averaging over 8 rating a game.
• Strikers seem worse since last patch or is it just me?
• I am struggling to get my AMC's to have much effect on games.  Resorted to using that position for my set piece taker and they are now getting godly ratings through set piece key passes without contributing much else.
• Becoming a club icon/legend should be easier. How am i only favored with a champions league win, 3 league titles in a row, multiple manager of the year wins in 3 seasons at a club that has never won a CL before (Atleti).
• Unrealistic expectations. Had a Palermo save where i got taken over and they wanted me to win the league in my 2nd season after promotion from Serie B and they gave me no money to spend on transfers whatsoever 
• Nobody ever makes offers for my good players or even shows much interest. Also seems too hard to sell off some good players sometimes even at bargain prices.
• Lack of leaders in regens.... Or players with desirable personality traits, Model Citizen/ Model Professional/Iron Willed etc. Makes it hard to find a regen to be a potential team leader in future who is going to mentor my other players.

Anyway match engine is better this year compared to last year and am generally enjoying the game.
