Very rare for someone to win an World Cup or a Euros by stringing together 6-7 brilliant performances in a row.  It just doesn't happen.

You turn in 2-3 brilliant performances and you stumble to the results you need in the other games. 

Tonight we stumbled but we got a result.  It's really not a big deal at all. 

People assuming now that we can't possibly go very far because we didn't smash 3-4 goals in a group game.

Like, have you watched international tournaments before?

 

Completely agree, Portugal in 2016 came third in their group after 3 draws against Iceland, Hungary and Austria. Wondered what ever happened to them!

If you are doing this isnt it economical sense to purchase them in boxes of 100 packs. About £56 at Amazon 

Half tempted to do one, Havent done one since the early 200's and then I never completed it.

Jay has added an end product now which is helping, that always seemed like the part he was missing to really cement his place in the team.

Agree Sweeney may not actually be 6 foot, it partly explains why he was shifted to RB for so long. 

Data for ECFC all feels pretty spot on though so well done.

Cheers

Just as a follow up to this. I wasn't able to find concrete evidence on his height. As you say on the OS it says he is 183 cm. I have been looking at photos of the squad at pre season photocall and I in particular noted this on:

Admittedly this is from 2018 however he shouldnt have grown any more. He looks shorter than Troy Brown (6"1) and  Hiram Boateng (6'0) but without bringing up "VAR offside line" it will be difficult to precisely determine his exact height from this. However I have sent all the evidence to Dean to make a  final decision

Very quick and minor update for Exeter City, specifically the height of some of the players.

Main example is Matt Jay. His height in-game is listed as 5 foot 10 when he's probably the shortest player in the squad. I know the club website says he's 178cm (5 ft 10) but that's definitely a mistake and he's probably closer to 5ft 6 or 5ft 7. I gave similar feedback for FM20 so I think what he was listed as in the final database would be accurate.

In this image you can see he's clearly shorter than Joel Randell (on the left) but the official ECFC website lists Randell's height as 177cms... https://ppauk.com/photo/2255842/

This image also shows it nicely - https://ppauk.com/photo/2251132/

Pierce Sweeney is also listed 5 foot 10 but according to the club website he's 183cms - 6 feet tall - and he's definitely not the same height as Matt Jay (and is a centre-back and more likely to be 6 foot (I also used to work for the club and have stood next to them both...)

Matt Jay also starts as transfer listed, but IRL he's featured in twelve games and has basically been a regular starter (not sure if that's the sort of thing we mention here?)

Thats an interesting observation. Matt Jay has always been a thorn in my side because of his height. I havent got the game loaded up currently and the club website height has been wrong for years.  Looking at the research database that we useds over the summer he should be listed in game as 5'7 which is the figure I got from another researcher who has met him. So once I have the BETA in front of me I will check and try to find out whats wrong.

As for him being transfer listed that is not really a data issue par se. I think the issue is more that there are several players who can fit into each role i.e Nicky law for example. He definitely has the CA of a player who is a first teamer in an upper league 2 club. Ofcourse up until now he has always played second fiddle to Nicky Law and it will be interesting to see how he fit into the team now Law is more match fit. Although Taylor seems to now feel Law may be able to play a more deeper role allowing Jay the "hole" role. But thats more of a recent tactical development in the last couple of weeks and it will be interesting to see how that develops before the squad is rerated in January.

I'm sure Pierce Sweeney was also listed in several sources as 5'9 I will check, I do take your point on the OS he is listed as 6 ft and will look to get it corrected if from what I can find backs up your comments  

Again thankyou for bringing this to our attention!
