I'll keep an eye on them, and I hope his play and training will progress a bit! -

How much can the coach report be trusted, though? It doesn't highlight any negative parts of his character, and like you said, something is obviously wrong in that department. -

@herne79 Thanks for clearing that up! I managed to pair him up with Domenico Berardi, even though he didn't want to in the first place. Berardi's personality isn't the best (fairly ambitious), but he does have 14 in determination, which is a lot better than Chiappini's 10! So I hope it will work out well. Chiappini had two gold stars in CA, when he was spawned, and I hope this will further his development a bit! Cheers, guys! -

I hope this question is appropriate for this topic. I have a 15 year-old that I would like to tutor, but no matter who I try to link him up with, he refuses to be tutored. I have read on this forum that it is merely down to his controversy attribute, but seeing as he is medie-friendly in his media handling style, this attribute can't be too high, right? His personality is balanced, which propably isn't ideal, but that is awfully tough to do anything about as I can't let him learn from anyone. I have tried matching him with both a player on the fringe of the first team, but in the core social group, and a first teamer who is in the core social group and who is highly influencial. Yet, he refuses still. Any advice on what to do? -
@Evanescent How is that 3rd season coming along? The Costil sale is looking crazy! I have just taken over Bordeaux myself on my career save on December 8th 2019. They are in 13th place, and they have only won 3 of the last 10 matches. They still have Malcom, though, and they certainly should be performing better with the players at their disposal, so hopefully I can turn the tide.

He developed really nicely for me, and by the third season, I had loaned him to a Ligue 1 club, where I think he scored 15 or 17 goals for the season. Could easily be a vrey good advanced forward or poacher for a good European club in my opinion. I would have had him in my starting XI had I played another season.

Ha! Spitting image! That is actually really nice! How come you didn't like Saint-Etienne?

I find it very fulfilling when my players want to leave and there is no one to buy them! Well, I think I am just not cut out for FM18. I can't get the scouting running. When I send them out myself, they return with 2-3 players per assignment, and when my staff set up the scouting, they return with all sorts of random players who don't have the profile I want. And I simply refuse to scout hundreds of players when regens appear, as it ruins any chance of immersion in the save for me, so it isn't possible to get a long term save up and running for me. Luckily I have my work to distract me from any sort of leisure activity...
-
@Evanescent Did you have offers for Malcom? I have just about given up on my Rennes save, but I will continue to lurk on here.
-
I thought so. When I have changed my defensive setup, the goals have rained in as well. So I might keep it. I am already giving Egbo first team football, and Delporte has been coming on from the bench as much as possible. But he is pushing for a starting place!
-
@nico_france They have been remarkably poor both seasons, even though they won the league the first year, they "only" obtained 86 points, and for a long time they weren't even in the top 5. Same goes for last year. This season they have started with 7 points from three games, but only three goals scored!

So, I've just completed on of the most fulfilling and fun seasons of my FM career. I was crowned as champions of Ligue 1 with three matchdays remaining, and the team performed very well all along. In the Champions League we were drawn in a group with Liverpool, Juventus, and Real Madrid. That couldn't have been much harder, but we ended up in 3rd place (Real Madrid was 4th), and so went on to star in the Europa League where we lost the Final to Chelsea. For the new season I have spent a fortune of €51M on Rodrygo (€18,25M) from Botafogo, Andrei Ivan (€12,5M) from Krasnodar, and Malang Sarr (€20M) of Nice. My only really big sale was Diafra Sakho who I let go to Swansea (€16,5M). I had no golden generation come through the youth ranks this year, but both Francois-Henri Delporte and Obinna Egbo are pushing for playing time in the best eleven the coming season, where my aim will by to defend the Ligue 1 title and advance from the group stage of the Champions League.
-
@Evanescent Are you conceding a lot with that tactical setup? I've contemplated going with a hybrid back-three / back-four in order to push an extra player in attack, but I am not sure if I will completely jeopardise my very solid defense if I do so.
-
Even better luck with them then!

Marseille certainly was a great save on FM17 if nothing else! Will be great to see if you can restore them to glory.
