FM13: Good Mentors


Coleman

Recommended Posts

I read an excellent article on mentoring while researching to build my youth system on FM Scout

http://www.fmscout.com/a-youth-development-on-football-manager-tutoring-guide.html.

The article stressed using mentors to build mental a young player's "personality." The author stresses several hidden attributes in a mentor, and the visible attribute determination. I think other mental attributes are also important, although I am not sure they can be learned through tutoring. My list includes:

Determination

Work rate

Decisions

Teamwork

Question: does anyone know if these other mental attributes can be trained through tutoring?

If so, I propose a list of excellent mentors. These are players who will be great with the youth team, yet still able to contribute to the first team. Name some players you've brought (or would like to bring) to your club specifically to bring up the young 'uns!

no they are not, only determination, hidden personality attributes and ppm's (the last one only if you pick the first option when assigning the mentor) are affected by tutoring

As far as I know, this is correct. The second option learns ppms, the first is personality development.
on fm12 the secound option (take under wing and mentor of the pitch) only did mental attributes while the first option (help improve his game) did both ppms and mental

I would assume its exactly the same thing on fm13 (and my limited experiance with this side of fm13 seams to suggest that to be the case)

i found Jelle Vossen to be a great tutor for my strikers, has great mental & technical attributes (don't know by heart, at work atm)

he doesn't cost that much either

I agree. Also, since he is pretty much at or near his prime, he can do a good job in the Prem leading the line.

I'm proposing a new format, to include relevant information. WP is mostly relevant for England, and for value/sale value I generally just pick up however is available for free after their contracts have expired and give them a low wage with massive appearance-bonuses.

Also, for tutoring the things you should look at is mentality, media handling and determination. PPMs can be a nice add-on, but if the player has a negative mentality you risk ruining the development of the player being tutored. Anything else (OP mentions work rate and such) does not really matter for the tutoring. The best mentalities are Model Citizen, Model Professional, Perfectionist, Professional, Driven, Ambitious, etc. For media handling: Evasive, unflappable, reserved. Look at this excellent thread for reference to what they mean: Personality/MH-guide

Media Handling Outspoken

Determination 18

Additional comment: He is outspoken, which means negative value in controversy and sportsmanship, but his other traits far outweigh this. Can also be used to improve outspoken youngsters that refuse tutoring from more level headed players.

Have to say on the 13.3 patch Robin Van Persie turns out to be an immense mentor. So much so that i have allowed him to overstay his welcome by an extra year on his bumper contract just to bring my youngsters along, The improvements are almost instant !
