Hi Harrison,
Some other moment that I considered a quite vague CCC popped up:
In this one, Jota gets credited for a CCC, but this is the ensuing highlight:
It's weird how Jota gets the CCC and Alexander-Arnold does not. In the first place because Alexander-Arnold, if he had taken the shot by himself, was never in a CCC position. Second, because the pass didn't even lead to a chance and third, because the ensuing header by Mané did not get considered to be a CCC as Alexander-Arnold finished the game with 0 CCC's.

If there's an issue with which highlights are being shown that would be a separate issue so if you could offer us some more details then we can investigate that separately.
Hi Harrison,
Thanks for getting back to me. I've made a gif of a moment that was included as being a CCC, but ended up in being a highlight not leading to something that is a CCC in my eyes.
In this highlight, Casemiro gets credited with the CCC. He passes to Carvajal, who then dribbles into the box and gets fouled by the leftback and gets rewarded with a penalty kick. He never really had a clear shooting angle, so I guess the CCC gets credited due to it leading to a penalty kick, but it feels a bit weird this is seen as a CCC.

Hi,
I've just played this game and there seem to be quite some differences between the statistics you find per player under player analysis and under player statistics.
An example:
In this player analysis table, it says Peres and Vormer have made 2 and 6 key passes respectively, but when I go to the player statistics screen:
It says Peres and Vormer have made 3 and 9 key passes respectively. What does this mean?
I have also noted a difference in determining "chances created". You could sort based on "chances created" in FMT20, but in FMT21, there's only "clear cut chances created" and "half chances created". I don't know the definitions of these. What I'm interested in is the actual chances created, ie: a pass that led to a shot on goal. That's what "chances created" means. It's not only not there anymore, but sometimes when I select a "clear cut chance created", the highlight just shows a player randomly passing to another player, who then passes to someone else and then the highlight ends. There's obviously something wrong with the mechanic to count these chances, because this happens to me nearly every game.

OCTOBER 2021
A very undeserved loss against Alba Acajutla has granted El Vencedor a huge gap right now. But we're still living up to the expectations.

The Uruguayan season might have been closing to end, but the season's just started in El Salvador! We've taken a little step back in terms of the country reputation, but we do get the possibility to manage close to a full season at Ciclón del Golfo. We're expected to finish at least second, which seems no hard task given that my predecessor had actually done a pretty good job. There's seventeen games to go to challenge El Vencedor.

It nearly looked like we would get a quadruplet of 1-1's, but a last second goal by Machado secured us of a win against Villa Teresa! One more home game against Atenas de San Carlos to go...

We skip ahead an extra month because there were no games due to the Copa América.
We were the better side twice, but only one point. Still, we have our fate in our own hands.

MAY 2021
A great start to life at Rampla Juniors with a big win over Albion, part in thanks to a hattrick from Chocho. We're now well back in the race for a playoff spot. June will be a quiet month because of the Copa América, so the next game will be in eight weeks.
This will help too.

THE START
I've loaded up all the abovementioned leagues with the start date being 1 January 2021. It took a little patience before the first wave of sackings in Uruguay, but it's 25 May and Sebastián gets his career off to a start at:
----------
Only eight games left on the schedule for the season, with only one this month before the league takes a break for the Copa América, but that goal should be doable, with being only two points from the playoffs.

EL LOCO ABREU FLIGHT CLUB
THE LATIN AMERICAN DISLOYALTY MILES PROGRAMMEOne of the reasons for my unsationable love of Latin American football is the benchload of colourful personalities, crazy tournaments and the utter competitiveness of all teams - mostly helped by European clubs buying anything that has two feet before the age of 18.
A very big exception to the rule of "anything that is good, does not play in Latin America" is Sebastián Abreu. A footballer who, to the non-South American audience, is most known for scoring the panenka that sent out Ghana from the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and Uruguay through to a semi-final confrontation with the Netherlands. You remember the game. Luis Suárez punched out a Ghanaian header from the goal in extra-time. Suárez got sent off, but Asamoah Gyan cannonballed the penalty off the crossbar. Suárez was cheering next to the field, before heading to the showers. Uruguay would eventually beat Ghana. Probably the closest an African side has come to a World Cup semi-final.
Anyway, we're daddling off. I was talking about Sebastián Abreu, who for various reasons has received the nickname "El Loco". The crazy one.
Abreu is probably one of the greatest strikers in Latin American history. You... what? Yes, I'm serious. I know he's not that well-known in the Northern Hemisphere, but that might have something to do with his career. Just look at that thing of beauty:
Sure, it's one random ass list of clubs, but someone who's scored more than 1 goal every 2 games for a quarter of a century is a giant in my eyes.
---
Every now and then I go back to his Wikipedia page and just click through his list of clubs. Just, for the fun of it. Because these are the kind of footballers that make me interested in the obscurer stories. When Football Manager 21 came out, I suddenly had a great idea for a hommeage to this Uruguayan great: the Sebastián "El Loco" Abreu Challenge.
It's my first save in FM21, so as to combine something enjoyable and nothing too serious while trying to learn the new functions, the premise is pretty easy:
Quote- I've loaded up all playable leagues of all twenty Latin American countries from Timo's league files
- I start as the unemployed alter-ego of Sebastián Abreu: a badgeless Uruguayan manager.
- I wait until I get a role as a manager at a Uruguayan club
- From then on, the circus starts: I may NEVER stay at the same club longer than ONE season. This also counts if I get hired a couple of games before the end of the season. I'll try and only sign one-year contracts, but if it turns out to be necessary, I will resign at clubs at the end of a season.
- I will try and work myself up reputation-wise and qualification-wise, battling through the image problems associated with the fact I am a complete club whore.The goal?
- Well, as I said, I'm doing this just for fun. It's mostly a challenge to see how random of a career I can develop. The only ultimate over-arching goal that I would like to accomplish is to having managed in every one of the twenty Latin American countries (only Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking nations) as well as fulfilling the ultimate goal to eventually winning the World Cup with Uruguay.So here's our protagonist:
Ready to conquer your pants.
I said all twenty.

THE FINAL

Neuer; Klostermann, Rüdiger ( 82' Tah), Süle, Schulz ( 82' Gosens ); Kimmich, Can, Kroos , Havertz; Werner ( 67' Götze), Volland

Report:
France takes home the World Cup trophy for the third time in the nation's history. In a rather underwhelming final in New York, the French were hyperclinical by scoring twice on just three shots all second half. The first half was an absolute eyesore, but the second half started with a Benjamin Mendy cross, finding Antoine Griezmann who struck home after only 37 seconds. The game went flat rather quickly after that. Germany was left to crosses that were collected rather easily by Hugo Lloris. With only ten minutes to go, Raphaël Varane powered in a corner kick to ensure the French victory.Statistics:

And there it is!!! It's the final whistle! France does it! After Italy '34-'38 and Brazil in '58-'62, they're the third nation to retain the World Cup title! Les Bleus will no longer be wearing just two stars over their emblem. It's three's a crowd from now on!

Oh it's like there's magic in my words! A cross from Benjamin Pavard ends up at Antonio Rüdiger's feet, who just cannons it away for a corner kick. This ends up as another costly error from the Chelsea defender, because Antoine Griezmann's ensuing corner kick is met by the head of Raphaël Varane who easily beats Joshua Kimmich in the air. It's 2-0 France with only ten minutes to go!
The German coach is having none of it and makes a double substitution, but weirdly enough, he takes out defenders Rüdiger and Nico Schulz for.... defenders Jonathan Tah and Robin Gosens...
----------
All Germans go forward at a Toni Kroos cross, but Joshua Kimmich heads it over.
----------
Now it's France who get a free kick, but Paul Pogba's header is acrobatically saved by Manuel Neuer.
----------
Three minutes are added on....

It's basically Germany in possession, passing it wide to it's fullbacks and hoping that a cross meets Timo Werner or Kevin Volland's head. Something's gotta give, so the German manager brings Mario Götze for Volland. The PSV striker made himself a hero back in Brazil in 2014, but he's not gifted with a lot of aerial power.
----------
Ten more minutes and no new substitutions so far... except for the first five minutes in the second half this has been quite the underwhelming World Cup Final. Are we going to see something spectacular at the end?

SECOND HALF:
France gets the action back underway. Both teams have come out of the dressing rooms unchanged.
----------
Oh and there it is straight away!!! France take the kickoff, pass it wide to Benjamin Mendy who covers some ground, and see him quickly cross the ball into the box towards Antoine Griezmann, who sneaks up on Antonio Rüdiger and lashes out a powerful strike. Neuer can only get a finger to it as the ball ends up in the net for the French lead!
----------
This second half certainly is no copy of the first so far. Germany breaks away for a counter-attack as Lukas Klostermann's cross is found by Kevin Volland, but the Monaco striker's header again ends up in Hugo Lloris' hands.
----------
Already fifteen minutes down in this second half. Volland has had another header end up in Lloris' hands. Germany will have to think of something here...

FIRST HALF
Welcome to New York. It's the 22nd FIFA World Cup Final. Which European nation will claim another star to its collection?
----------
A rather nervous first fifteen minutes of the game. Germany has mostly pushed France back onto its own half. This has resulted in two rather undangerous attempts at Hugo Lloris' target.
----------
And it's France's first attempt of the game. Paul Pogba receives a cross from Benjamin Pavard but heads it into the hands of Manuel Neuer. Neuer rolls it out quickly and Germany seem to create a very dangerous counter-attack, but Nico Schulz' shot is from too tight of an angle to make life difficult for Lloris. Still, another shot on target for Die Mannschaft.
----------
It's a classic World Cup Final in that it's a very nervous affair. In the last six minute, only Germany have tried an attempt, but Kai Havertz' shot from outside the box went deep into the stands. Lot of tension so far!
----------
France has its biggest chance of the game so far: Benjamin Mendy's head meets a corner kick, but his powerful header ends up straight into Manuel Neuer's hands.
----------
Both teams add a shot to their total, but nothing really worrisome. Nope, it hasn't been a very good game so far in New York. Let's see if the second half will be any better.

THE FINAL - PREVIEW
There's only one day like this every four years: the day when a nation immortalizes itself into football history. We've gathered at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, nearby New York for a confrontation between four-time winners Germany, who can join Brazil atop the list of most World Cup titles against two-time winners and reigning champions France.

Haha, I'm not really good with streaming stuff, but I'll make sure to write a play-by-play that is as immersive as possible!

It's interesting to see just how tight these last games have been which probably shows the teams deserve to be there.
I've really enjoyed this format and it's been a good read - thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you for your words! I've really enjoyed writing it so when I'm done with this, I'll switch to FM21 and see if I can come up with new possible tournament formats that would have a realistic shot at implementation.

It seems like this match was extremely error prone, because this was the total amount of shots blocked defending. A nearly incredible amount of 18 (!) in a single game:
I randomly clicked one of them to see what they looked like:
I feel like something is off whenever stats get registered in the "analytical data" screen. I feel like I trust the "player analysis" screen more.
