[Can making someone club captain affect their form?]

i cant say for certain but in my FM21 long save there were a a few (3 players) who played really well till appointed captain. then their form and teams form dropped till they were replaced.

Edit: to clarify they had high leadership and didn't have any negative pressure traits. though they didn't get upset when they were removed as captains either. this was also before getting to EPL so lower leagues.

 

[fm23 still too many old players in squads in future and not enough youth development]

how come in my FM 21 save i'm seeing t the opposite all the best players in the world are 29/30 ive had to break my own rules and buy 30 YO pay him the highest wahge to finally get my team 2nd in EPL year 2035.

i dont have all the leagues loaded byt quite a few are all the mian countries and 2nd tier european leagues. maybe its till not enough.

also should point out the options for loading a league are not very clear and its a bit too late to chage it once youve started.

 

[FM21 How to help player who is not handling the pressure of first tam football]

im in year 2035 in FM 21 and had this message from Ass Man for first time that one of my best young players is not handling the pressure of first team football well. or struggling to handle it, something like that.

he played very well last year but has been inconsistent this year. team has been in the EPL for last 4-5 years and have managed mid table finishes in last 3 years not quite reaching European football. wage budget is in the bottom 5 and we are always predicted to finish at the bottom 5 of the league. though we have over achieved consistently  at the begging of  the year when i suggest we go for mid table finish  lot of players were not happy. ive bought in a couple of more experienced players at higher wage and its helped us stay in the top six so fat. about 15 matches in. lots of draws and some good wins. recently said player is being scouted by man city regularly. 

so my question is how do i help him> do i play him little less for a while? his coach report says nothing about his big game ability and believe mentoring does not hemp with that. also hes an highly influential player so the other older  team mates do not affect him at all. he is currently 20 and been playing to increasing degree last 3 years. 

or is this something that will go away with time or when hes less under scrutiny. 

please point me to any other posts if its already covered.

thank you

[FM21 how many leaders do you need in a Team]

i'got Barnet to the premier league (in 2029) and stayed there for 4 seasons. however each year i cannot maintain performances. the team plays well for a spell of about 3 months but then then fall away and never regain their form. or start very slowly so even if they end well they don't get much higher than mid table. even players who play 2 -3 months at 7.5+level suddenly cant play above 6.5 this seems to affect all my players except for the defence.

my team lacks good leaders there are about 3 players with high leadership but they are not good enough to play all the time. exception is my goalie and i am presuming my defence does well through out the season because of him standing behind them screaming at them. 

so my question how many leader do you normally have in a successful team and what's a good rating for leadership is 15 enough?

also does having good leadership trump other technical stats

[FM21 What age do you start thinking to sell?]

yeah i ve sold a few keepers in my save bought by top tier club to be never used again. made some good money from that. they were good when i was in lower tier but never though they were that good.

[FM21 What age do you start thinking to sell?]

now ive been in the PL for 3-4 seasosn but am also thinking players can keep playing as long as their physical atts are OK.

also there doesn't seem to be a point in buying any player who is 26 or over unless he is the finished article.

 

[What's with all these clubs wanting to sign younger players?]

agree the game shows they have developed but looking at their stats hardly anything has changed. seems current ability is king potential never arrives or just drops every year.

[Pointless Complaining]

also hate it when players who demand playing time  play horribly when they do get the chance

[Most of the players I have sold flop in their new clubs]

i'm only playing 21 year 2034. and i've noticed that too. every player i let go did not do well. some hardly got a game. don't have an explanation other than AI cant train their players to improve. judging by how my asst Man allocates work among coaches i am not surprised. 

previous version i played were 2011, 12,13 i remember regretting selling players in those cos they did so well after leaving.

[[FM21] Captaincy having negative affect on good players]

i seem to have a captain curse in my save. every player i choose as captain has dropped performance significantly. they ahve all had high leadership ratings 15+ ang have enjoys big matches etc but cant seem to cut it as captain. problem is my other choices are much lower in leadership stat.

also my current VC is a realist and seems to struggle to stay motived. it could that the press think we are overachieving and our odds before every game is against us. (only 2nd season in PM) though weve managed to finish mid table both seasons have had really bad losing streaks against the bigger teams but managed to win/draw enough to keep out of relegation battle with one or two surprise wins along the way. is realist a bad personality type for captian?

also dont seem to be able to really change personality of player s even mentoring for long tie. thought they seem to learn special moves quite often from the group.

[player relationship on pitch]

how long does it take players to develop on pitch relatiosnhips?

and is there a way of getting rid of a negative one?

[How many leagues do you load? Playable? View only?]

what's the affect of adding leagues players 10 years into a save?

[[FM21] player relationships/synergies help]

I'm not at home right now and i don't know the right term for it in game, i'm talking about the lined on the tactics screen that show two players work well togther.

well in my case i've got a dotted line between my RFB and RAM apparently they don't play well together. seems a bit strange as they have performed good and bad but since we nroe not the best team in the EPL ther e was been some losses. 

my problem is that they are two of my best players in the positions and and i cant really leave either of them out. they don't play well in other positions either. is there a way to improve the relationship issue? maybe putting them in a same metoring group or something

[Defending Set Piece]

the game throws out stupid mistakes or unbelievable goals from time time mostly against you but sometimes for you as well. like the other posted said it could be a glitch in the matrix where the simulation cannot be effectively translated by the graphics engine. also i feel tried player with low concertation sometimes just seem to give up. that's what the match engine shows its probably the simulation factoring them being tired or making a mistake

[FM21 Attributes Decisions v positioning]

am i right in saying that things that have zero weighting can increase even when CA is maxed out?

i'm surprised flair has a 0 weighting

[FM21 Attributes Decisions v positioning]

thanks this sheet is very helpful

[FM21 Attributes Decisions v positioning]

which is more important to a defender?

i've looked for positioning so far but seem to think decisions is more important.

also the hints seem to indicate that composure is not that relevant for a defender but it seems like it is in game, with defenders with low composure making mistakes under pressure.

[player nobody else seems to like]

hi ive got this top rated squad player who nobody else seems to like. his personality is determined and media friendly but many of the other squad players are finding it hard to get along with him. i had problems with player before and had to loan him out for 2 years because he wanted to leave the club to play in top tier but nobody would pay his value so never sold him like i wanted to. we have now reached the premier league and he dropped his wats to leave issue. so i signed him up on new contract. but now see many other players have a red issue in their happiness not being able to get along with him.

is there some hidden attribute i am missing?

[Interpretation of likes to beat active repeatedly]

cheers playing since 2011 i always forget that

 

[FM 21 how much participation money from EPL in 2030]

yeah i get the wage drop clauses and will try to include them in future singing. a couple i already signed without it so too late for them. i'm not sure what is a reasonable wage for EPL level player. up to now my highest paid player was on 18k in championship but ive had to sign a player at a bout 25k for EPL. but good players asiking for 50k+ which i am prepared to commit to now. still in preseason so hoping to find some cheaper options. 

anyway was going to push the board for improved training etc once the money comes in. my training facilities re only great.

[FM 21 how much participation money from EPL in 2030]

thanks however the TV money is going to be the more significant part of the income i believe?

[FM 21 how much participation money from EPL in 2030]

hi 

first time in EPL in this version of the game. was wondering how much the club would earn for being here and is i immediately get relegated how much would i earn next season.

Edit reason for the question is i am trying to figure out how much wages i can afford with possible relegation a high possibility

[Player growth - non existent?]

yes the physical aspect is quite evident in FM21. which got me wondering if you play sufficiently into future does the average technical ability of top flight players also drop? (due to the slow development)

i'm only 10 seasons into my save so ahve not noticed.

physically weak players don't look like they can make it in EPL. even championship was hard if they were lacking. specially in the midfield.

[Player growth - non existent?]

thanks guys great info

the growth rate by age group i've seen but never put it together in my head. i've seen my youth players increase stats a lot but mainly in physical attributes.

even now i find it difficult to increase technical attributes even in my first team. well keep trying probably might need better facilities and improve my coaching little bit more

the other thing that popped in my mind is the progress graph it sometimes seems to be opposite to attributes increase. ive treated it as reputation graph rather than an actual ability graph

[Player growth - non existent?]

that's actually  a lot more than i usually see post 25. though i seem to always get upward arrows they don't actually show many improvements usually only see pluses in work rate and determination achieved through fines.
