    Really impressive for the price. For a player like that, the low physicals don't matter as much anyway.

    Yeah physicals aren't the greatest but hoping to improve that if possible, scored 3 & 2 assists in 4 games so far in the Championship. Think he'll be very handy back in the Premier League too next season.

    FM20: Leeds Utd - On the way up!!!

    Mateta looks good, few less than attractive mentals but ticks the Nketiah boxes.

    Martinez is circa £20m, which is in budget but feels like a lot for a Haaland makeweight.  Ruidiaz is also good, but is 29 and against my philosophy.

    Morelos is a possible, aggression worries me a bit but if i'm spending £20m, has to be someone with something a bit special as if Haaland was to become available in Jan, I'd probably have no budget left to do the deal.

    Arp is also a loan possibility I reckon, he's played zero games for Bayern all season, I could get him for peanuts but no way will I meet his wage demands, he's already on 83k a week...

     

     

    I managed to get Arp for 10.5m but on a wage of 105k pw.Maybe juggle the books lol

    Attributes literally do not matter in this game

    If you played Bonucci in an identical role to Messi in FM for a full season, Messi would play infinitely better.

    There is no scripting to the match engine in the way you are implying here. Attributes matter, but they are not the only thing. Otherwise you could just assemble the best CA team in the world and not even bother to play matches as you know you will win every single game. This is decidedly not what happens in football.

    If you think chance plays no role in football, you must live in a world of constant frustration. Chance is one of the most important parts of football.

    I do not understand the entire concept of this thread. We see all the time players who we normally think of as being average putting in amazing displays, scoring amazing goals, dominating games when you normally would not expect them to. There are already plenty of examples of this on this thread. It is an obvious part of football, it is not something you can really question.

    The underlying current here seems to be that players should never be able play well if their attributes are low. Never score. Never have a great day. Lose every tackle. Which is absolute nonsense. That is contrary to our every day experience of football. Hell, even I have had days where everything I do works perfectly and I just play well. I am sure I am not alone in that. I remember once scoring a 30 yard screamer into the top corner. Never done it before, probably never will again.

    I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding of how the game actually works. Attributes determine how good a player is on average. So over the course of a season a player will play more or less to his attributes. You would expect a striker with 20 finishing to outscore a striker with 10 finishing, playing in the same system, over the course of a season. This does not work on the level of a single game, and definitely not on a single passage of play (from which the OP and others are extrapolating here). Here there is much more of a random element. Attributes are only a small part of what is going on in a single game. The way in which players interact with their team mates and the opposition players is vastly important. And add the fact that players can do things like this. They will just do it much rarer than a better player. There is no mystery here, and it is another example of abusing numbers and statistics that I see so often on these forums.

    It is annoying to concede such goals, but they happen and it is entirely realistic.

    Amen Brother!!!!
