tastaiwan Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Word of note, I'm going to start transitioning to showing you the best players on your team instead of the top potential players. As evidenced by Valentine Masange, sometimes the top potential players just don't develop into world-beaters while the lower expectation players flourish into monsters. You might still see a good high potential player in either your squad or in the top potential players list, if you want to take a look at him there's no problem in asking.

tastaiwan Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Top Players Top Potential Angola - Rank 22!!! I wasn't sure if Angola could keep improving at this rate...the answer is a resounding yes! Squad Emilio Barbeitos Armend Bello Blessing Diogo Wilson Goncalves Very strong team, with the top players playing at the top level. Good stuff from Angola. Bermuda - Rank 107 Squad Kelrick Bannis Sergio André Aguiar Francisco Coppola Blenn Watson Another very strong showing from a nation, although the rank hides this fact. Cuba - Rank 115 Squad Ze Serrao Yoslan Aguirre Arnaldo Ameijeiras Christian You can immediately tell the step down from Angola and Bermuda's world-class level. Hopefully that continues to improve but Aguirre is very stubborn, he's been at Zagreb a long time. Faroe Islands - Rank 131 Squad Galym Krasikov Paul Taylor Kari Hansen Eli Jarnskor Don't worry, you have better players than this, but I'm focusing on the recent regens. Georgia - Rank 71 Squad Zurab Gabelaia Nika Devdariani Sergey Fomin Romeo Khachidze Club-wise on the same level as Cuba, probably just more depth in the team. Guatemala - Rank 73 Squad Cesar Garcia Milton Rodas Carlos Gonzalez Lester Cabrera Wow...Rodas and Garcia and absolute stars. Hong Kong - Rank 87 Squad Daniel Gadow Jeroen Helsen Paulista Yeung Chun Hung Probably one of the weaker countries because the great amount of good kids popping up here aren't being trained properly. Europe is too far... Indonesia - Rank 99 Squad Muhammad Syaranamual Dedi Redian Yoga Santoso Hugo Imbiri Another demonstration of the weakness of Asia. Mauritius - Rank 106 Squad Jean Madron Fredrik Oldrup Jensen Johan Gunesh Aadilah Clarisse Players are getting to Europe, but it's still clearly a detrimental factor, just like in Asia, when your fourth best player is still playing in Mauritius. Nepal - Rank 142 Squad Binod Pandey - Free Agent... Bimal Gharti Magar Santosh Gurung Ramesh Basnet Forget the rankings. Nepal is clearly the weakest team in this experiment. The potential is alright, there are good players just like there were in Hong Kong or Mauritius. But virtually no one is leaving the country, and the fourth best player is a 16 year old. Really worrying here. PNG - Rank 145 Squad Jerry Japu Steven Spain Valentine Masange Kema Habuka Two amazing players, and then it crashes. Hard. Jerry Japu now far surpasses the ability of Masange. Being in the middle east, I wonder if he gets really good wages and there's no club that can justify bringing in a player of his (lack of) quality for that much money. Singapore - Rank 36 Squad Rizal Aminuddin Fadhil Daud Sulaiman Faharuddin Azwan Ismail I really don't think Singapore's Rank 36 is justified. I think we don't have any really good players, we just have great depth of mediocre players. Either way, I don't know why we're up in 36th. Somalia - Rank 125 Squad Fuadi Amin Ali Luke Booker Deogratias Abdillahi Mukhtar Ali Two decent players...then crash. That's it. Turks and Caicos - Rank 146 Squad Carlos Burgueno Fehmi Langliz Stevens Glinton Carlo Diamond Honestly...it's really fascinating watching the effect of the betting rounds on Turks and Caicos. They won some amazing players, but there's no force behind them that could make them contenders. It'll be interesting to see what happens when those top two retire. At least Glinton is home-bred. T&T - Rank 89 Squad Lloyd Joseph Brian Charles Jamal Latapy Levi Garcia Still got Garcia up in that ranking, T&T is having troubles with youth development and export. Wales - Rank 54 Squad Gethin Goldston Aaron Ramsey Ben Woodburn Gareth Bale Where all the regens at? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I was wondering why Bermuda aren't processing to Gold Cup qualification or getting to the final round of World Cup qualifying, so I looked at the squads of Trinidad and Tobago and Guatemala (since they're the 2 CONCACAF teams that are outperforming Bermuda) and I noticed that they've a lot more squad depth.

Somewhat surprising to me that Uruguay won, but hey! Good for them. Is Suarez still around the team at this point? It's kinda disappointing that Indonesia finished runner up to Singapore (who are looking quite strong). We seem to have not really been in with a shot at any point over those two legs either.

Koetzer Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Nice to see a full squad finally And some top potential youngsters who are wanted by other clubs (I guess Scandinavian or British?) Sad that 'transfer preferences' feature in FM works like that, so players from 'obscure' countries like Somalia or Nepal actually have no chance to catch an interest from European clubs and develop there. Just wonder what will happen if remove all those preferences in editor, probably an idea for some future experiment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSolidSnake Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I wonder what the causal link between quality and good clubs is? Are Japu and Spain my best players because they play for Münchengladbach and Panathinaikos (had to be the clubs with the longest names), or do they play for those clubs because they're the best players? And you could be right about Masange, although 4.5k p/w isn't that high really is it? I'd pick him up on my save! (If I knew his potential) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several team, admittedly not all, are reaching maturity and will several players will start being a world force. I think it's time to transition into the final phase of this experiment/sign-up, which is focusing on the big dog: the World Cup. The next update will be 2026. Featured will be World Cup performances, squads, players, and if a big award (Ballon d'Or, World Player of the Year) is won by a player, I will definitely post that. Additionally, I won't be putting the top players of the countries involved anymore. The players are becoming so good that it is time to compare them to the world's best. The top players and potential list will truly become a list of the world's best, and hopefully some of you find your players. The rate at which your countries improve will also increase fourfold (math), which is nice. It will take a long time to sim, but I think it's better for this experiment in the long run.

SoSolidSnake Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 It's so frustrating to see 2 players with over 190 potential, but not improving! At this rate the team is going to go stale because Japu and Spain are nearly at their peak, Masange just desperately needs to move to somewhere with better training facilities ASAP.

I'll still look through past years to see past games and competitions. However, gauging the reaction, it seems most people like the year by year format. It doesn't matter to me, they take about equal time to do, but would everyone prefer to stay with one year intervals? With the length of this experiment, I wasn't sure if people wanted yearly updates which adds up to, what, 60 updates? Doesn't seem like anyone thinks it's a problem though.

Bishaaro Omar has 198 PA, but chances are he won't reach it because he might not get out of the country. Very frustrating to watch all this occur. T&C - Rank 141 Schedule Squad Carlos Burgueno Stevens Glinton Fehmi Langliz Carlo Diamond T&T - Rank 26 Out of nowhere, T&T are in the mix! Schedule Squad Lloyd Joseph Brian Charles Andre John Jamal Latapy Wales - Rank 56 Schedule Squad Gethin Goldston Mark Johnson Ben Woodburn Paul Redman Top Players The best player in the save goes to Przemyslaw Butenko, from Poland. Don't forget, I slightly improved Poland at the beginning of this save so that will have no doubt played a large role. Zurab Gabelaia of Georgia lands at #7 in the world, two spaces above Paul Pogba. Angola's Emilio Barbeitos also features in the list at #10. Clocking in at #15, Guatemala's Cesar Garcia also makes the list of the best in the world. At this point, Gianluigi Donnarumma is only 26, so this is no small feat. Top Potential Of the top 21 potential players in the world (two of top three are at Ajax, I'm feeling a Dutch Dynasty coming on...), we have players from Hong Kong, PNG, and Faroe Islands, as well as two players from both Indonesia and Cuba. World Team of the Year Cuba's Yoslan Aguirre and Daniel Gadow of Hong Kong both infiltrated the World Team of the Year. Gadow starts in the middle. The Broadcaster's African Footballer of the Year Award goes to Angola's Emilio Barbeitos. Gadow and Aminuddin place 2nd and 3rd respectively in the Asian Footballer of the Year. North American Player of the Year gets a representative from Bermuda, Guatemala, and Cuba. Jerry Japu and Steven Spain go 1 and 2 in Oceanic Player of the Year World Rankings In the top 36 teams, Trinidad and Tobago was the only team of the sixteen nations to pierce the best countries in the world. Hopefully they stay up for next year. I'm also elated to announce that we will have four of our members participating in the 2026 World Cup, namely Angola and Singapore, who are competing in the same group, Guatemala, and Trinidad and Tobago.
