[FM19: Ajax Amsterdam - Time to reap what has been sown]

@zlatanera  

Almendra is a top player in my side, he seems to play equally well as the DLP-s at CM, B2B and even occasionally as a RM Winger.

He has low flair, but he still seems to be capable of beating a man which is probably due to his absurd physical stats. He averaged 7.35 domestically and 7.31 for the champions league campaign, which is surprising, we batter teams in the league so I thought he'd show higher. He doesn't contribute many goals/assists, but as he generally plays the DLP role that's not a huge concern. 

I am tempted to alter my midfield role pairing to allow him to play as his preferred Mezzala role but with 9 finishing and 10 long shots I'm not sure it's worth it.

Good luck with the save! Top tip would be to tie down your best players on new, long contracts with 100m+ release clauses (De Ligt, De Jong, Van De Beek & Dolberg) are the main ones.

First season is a strange one while you figure out who you're going to keep and sign players to fit your formation, 4-2-3-1 has worked well for me so far though.

I think from now on I will be trying to put absurdly high release clauses into all contracts.

Liverpool not only had the nerve to ruin the champions league for me by scoring a dodgy penalty in a 1-0 defeat but also would like to lowball offer £15m for my star player!

The player conversation made me laugh, it's been about a week since but apparently, he's already forgotten we had a fairly comfortable run through to the final.

 

 

He agreed and said he'd stay for one more season!

 

edit: sorry for huge pictures

Popped up in my league today.

Ref didn't even book anyone!

[My Big Fat GK can score more than your Big Fat GK (Blast from the past challenge).]

This thread is making me want to find a savegame where my GK was my best FK taker..

I don't think he bagged too many but I now have the urge to find and continue that save

It might not even be on FM14 though..

Don't have a screeny knocking about from when he was generated but he's so good as a treq for my southampton side, knocking on the door of the england squad too. A pity his tackling is so low, otherwise he could have made a very good shadow striker, especially with his amazing pace.

His PPMs are to knock the ball past opponent & play one two's more, my coaches say it'd be useless to train his weaker foot, so I think I will work on his passing/finishing/dribbling mainly, unless anyone else has any good suggestions?

had an amazing debut season, but dropped off until last season when he came into his own. This season though he'll be fighting for a place with an ageing Marek Hamsik

T'nique's technical stats leave much to be desired...

never seen this name before?

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Lower league chairmen sounds quite cool 18 rabbit, if for example you took the BSP and wiped all club debts loans etc and gave a starting balance of a couple of million to each club for the new chairmen to spend on upgrades etc.

It would be difficult to make it work, but at least nobody would argue over hiring SAF as their manager in a lower league, would be interesting to see what approaches would yield the best results over time.
