His shirt name is set to "NWOSU" in the database. If you've then got "show shirt name on the pitch" ticked in Preferences that'll be why it appears in all-caps. Needs amending to "Nwosu" or removing entirely given that it matches his surname.

If the -95 was a -9 I don't think anyone would bat an eyelid, both he and the two other English -9s from that age group are fantastic young talents who are head and shoulders above their peers and have shown it both domestically and internationally in their own age groups and U21s. The problem is when you elevate him to the -95 bracket, he hasn't done anywhere near enough compared to the others rated with the same PA. Most of those have been playing first team football since they were 15 years old and consistently showcase their ability on the biggest stages whereas these 3 at 15 years old were either making U21s debuts or in one case a PL debut purely as a sweetener for a contract offer and to ensure the club received more than the standard compensation if they did leave. We likely just have different standards about what constitutes enough for a -95 but for me when it comes to 15-18 year olds, unless they're playing first team football already I think it's too high. If they were that good, they would be impacting the first team already because you're talking about the potential to be the best player in the world and when you look at the top players - Ronaldo, Messi, Bellingham etc, they were already playing mens football regularly by then.

I can't help but feel the Spurs researcher has gotten a little too carried away after a good few opening weeks for them with a manager who plays more exciting football than his predecessor.
Cristian Romero has been given a huge boost in his attributes, CA and PA in 24.2. He was mostly a meme player in the premier league before this season, but after 3 months of the season with Spurs sat in 5th place and the 6th best defensive record in the division (also yet to play Man City, Newcastle, West Ham and Brighton) it's been decided he should have a CA of 163 and PA of 178? After a season in game he becomes the best CB in the league along with Saliba. By way of contrast Fabian Schar (147 CA) and Sven Botman (156 CA) were both performing out of their skins as part of the best defence in the league last season across a whole season, and have again been part of a better defence than Spurs in 23/24 so far. Saliba's CA is 164 as well for example, and this is a player who has proven himself to be elite over the course of last season and this season. It seems obscene for Romero, a player known mostly for bad tackles and getting sent off, to receive this boost to his attributes after such a short period. I would suggest reducing his CA and PA by 15 each would be appropriate along with most weighted attributes to suit.
Pape Matar Sarr has been given a fixed PA of 172. This is pretty much Rodri-level ability and would make him one of the best midfielders in the league and a surefire world class player. He barely played last season and has around 800 minutes this season where he's been good but not standout in a team that is only 5th in the premier league. I think -85 would be more appropriate and this would make him a guaranteed good PL potential player at least, with the possibility of being world class in some saves.
Yves Bissouma is rated as the best DM in the Premier League after Declan Rice and Rodri. This was actually in the initial data for FM24 iirc and so was based on a few weeks of the season. It's a better CA than Partey, Casemiro, Moises Caicedo who were all fantastic last season; and wildly better than the likes of Luiz and Kamara at Villa who've had just as good seasons so far. Again this seems highly irregular. He couldn't get a game last season and was poor when he did appear.
Surely these players should have to show form for more than a few weeks before they're made into world class talents on the game?
In addition to the above, I would also question some of the PAs that have been handed out. A -95 for a player who has played 0 minutes of men's football and no international football higher than U17s when every other -95 player in the DB is a regular for the first team of their club and/or country. There is no other English player with a random PA that high, it's far too early to be claiming him to be the best player England could produce when he's not shown anything above his own age group internationally or above what is widely regarded as an unfit for purpose PL U21s competition in England. There's also 7 -85 players, only Ajax have more and they're the joint highest in England (Chelsea the other). If everything works out, they've almost got a full 11 of potentially world class level players of whom collectively have less than 100 games of senior football and 74 of those are from one player. Don't get me wrong, a number of those may be perfectly justifiable but on paper at the moment it sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the DB and other players of similar ages who are already playing first team football at a high level.

Every player will be assessed ahead of the next major data update after the January transfer window and changes made where deemed necessary.

There are other 15 year olds in the game? Not sure how the process works - can a request not go to the club?
Those 15 year olds will turn 16 by 31/8/2023 which is the cut off as that's when the UK school year officially ends and that's what the FA uses for it's age brackets. Anyone who turns 16 on or after 1/9/2023 will still be at school and for UK child protection reasons can't be included in the game.

Chris Agutter is still Stevenage U18 Manager in Game - he joined Brighton as an U18 coach back in November 2022.
Max Woodford made his debut for Stevenage recently and is not currently in game.
Woodford is too young to be included, he's still a schoolboy. It'll be next FM25 before he can be added to the game.

It does work for Mac, it's a graphical issue with Steam, the Mac logo is missing.

For some reason on Man Utd, you can see the U21 Manager Travis Binnion, but not the U18s Manager Adam Lawrence

The duplicated transfer fees/clauses are a known issue under investigation.

He's too young, cut-off is to be 16 before 1st September.

Jacob Murphy is transferlisted at the start of the game, but he gets a fair playingtime irl. And the boardexpectation is to high. And Gordon should have higher workrate.
I've removed the pointless jibe at the end of your comment. If you can't post like an adult in here and provide constructive feedback to the researchers where you feel there's any error then you'll have your posting privileges removed.

This isn't helpful. What reasons should they have different CAs rather than just throwing out arbitrary numbers? What stats should be upgraded/downgraded and why? Martinez was consistently one of the best CBs in the league until his injury in a team that finished 3rd and won a trophy. Romero was in a Tottenham team that finished 8th and from what I saw had a pretty mixed time of it throughout, at times looking solid and others all over the place, much like the rest of the Spurs defence throughout the season. They're also very different types of defenders and different stats eat up different amounts of CA points. How does Romeo actually perform in your game?

With so many PL clubs having more than assistant, I think there's a good argument to say that the limit of 1 assistant is no longer appropriate and needs to be upped @Pete Sottrel

Seems like a Valve related issue with the Steam client rather than ours.
Did you get this for any other title?
Might be worth pinging them a support ticket: https://help.steampowered.com/en/
Only with FM, don't really play anything else on the Mac though. Will see what Valve say.

Hi @Jimmy Wong, this is being caused by Steam not having disk access to open the app correctly. Need to enable Full Disk Access for Steam, after that it works.

Hi @Jimmy Wong, everything is up to date.

Axel Tuanzebe’s injury should be a back injury and both his and Brandon Williams’ injury end dates should be changed to reflect their expected return to training around 7th December. I did see a mention somewhere that Williams’ injury was also a back injury but can’t find the source again to corroborate.
Teden Mengi was absent with a hamstring injury 7/4/22 until 8/10/22.
Di’Shon Bernard also got injured at the start of pre-season and was out until 31/10/22 with an unspecified injury.1 -
Kaita Hasegawa (2000063018) has left Everton and joined Man Utd as a first team performance analyst at some point this month.

Nick’s made his position on Garnacho very clear. If there is a factual error like his height or playing history stats with any of his data, please open a bug report. His attributes will be reviewed for the next research cycle. Locking this thread because there’s no further discussion needed on the matter.

This also happens on MacOS as well as Windows. All of the mass edit functions at the top cause the Editor to crash.

I'm also seeing this. If you go into a Playing History with a fee already in the field or if you add a fee yourself, you can't delete the value from the field. It just comes back. This is not using the Details Panel, it's using the list at the top of the screen which has worked fine previously.

If the researcher hasn't been able to find a reliable source to add the person's height into the database then it will be randomised upon starting a new game. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I think there's ranges that can be used by the researcher so if a player is short but you don't know the exact height then they can be set to a range with a random height between say 5ft and 5ft5 for example so their height doesn't end up too far out of what it should be.
