billybo_h Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi Fenech, so excited for this. I've loved your database since the very first one, and I was, you may remember, the person who asked for Watford to have a full squad back on the original one. I'm liking the look of the Watford squad this time around, though I do have some suggestions: As much as I love Filippo Galli, he did only spend one year at Watford. I can understand why he's not part of Milan due to the strength of their squad, but I don't think he deserves a place in Watford's team. Maybe he could be in the Milan academy? Maybe Duncan Welbourne in? Wilf Rostron should be able to play on left wing as well as left-back. He started his career there before Taylor moved him back, so well worth keeping it as one of his weaker positions. I also think Rostron should be captain, with McClelland vice - Rostron was captain when McClelland was signed, and the latter refused to take the captaincy off him even though offered it straight away. Kenny Jackett should be able to play left-back and left midfield as well as his current positions. I don't think Etienne Capoue should be there. In terms on midfielders in recent history who have been important, Almen Abdi has been much more influential. He would be my choice to replace Capoue. Maybe make Ashley Young slightly younger seeing as he came through the academy. Just makes him one of the younger members of the selected squad. Replace Juan Hernandez with Ross Jenkins, Watford's third-highest scorer of all time. I appreciate this is quite a lot, and I'll make the changes if you don't wish to after it's released, but I just want to help you make the best FM database as complete as it can be. Thanks Fenech... I am supremely excited to play! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am supremely excited to play! Hey Billybo_h Fair enough with Galli, I have sent him back to Brescia where he played nearly 100 games... Duncan Welbourne has come in Wilf Rostron was able to play on the left wing as well so I didnt need to adjust that. I have made Rostron the captain as indicated with McClelland as vice. Kenny Jackett can now also play as left back and left midfield as well as his current positions. Not sure I agree with Capoue, I thought about it as he has almost played 100 games for Watford now, which is more than Almen Abdi if you dont include Abdis appearences on loan, however as it is debatable, I have sent Capoue back to Toulouse and given you Almen Abdi. Ashley Young is now only 18 years old. To be fair, I must have missed Juan Hernandez being there , as I wasnt including him in the squad so ive shipped him back to the Colombia Second Division, And Ross Jenkins third all time scorer will be put in his place. If you check in the morning, the Watford Squad Photos should all be updated for you. I hope that helps. Fenech Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to you can sign the players who are not at Arsenal They have been coded to remember they played for Arsenal and hold the club in very high esteem. However I will add Reg Lewis to the Arsenal Squad... and I can't deny you Ted Drake either. I will also add David Jack to the Arsenal Squad. Alex James is needed by Preston and Frank McLintock is needed by Leicester and both made over 100 appearances for those clubs before they joined Arsenal. To compensate and balance out the squad, I am sending the young Walcott and Oxlade back to Southampton and I am sending David Herd to Stoke & Keiran Gibbs to Wimbledon Thanks Fenech Edited July 17, 2018 by Fenech Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carninho Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) nice work again on the DB Its such a tough job allocating players to the right squads. I found myself saying why is 'he' here and not there, but when I looked at more squads you can see why you have a couple of random strikers at Forest that I'd never heard off, so that was a nice little google session for me are gary birltes and stan collymore in the youth team? I saw stan is listed as a club icon (any chance of a screenshot of the youth team?) also is graham alexander in the preston youth team as I didn't see him in their squad, he was the only club icon I didn't see listed in the other squads The England squad is the one that surprised me the most. Did you pick that yourself or is that how it came up? lots of unknown names to me in there, then Le Tissier & Clough who I would never expect to be there (IRL obvs) Have you put the game on holiday for a few years to see how it all plays out? is there much transfer activity? are the clubs happy to keep a young squad or do they buy in older players from some of the unedited clubs? The way you set all the player ages this year interests me a lot, knowing that they are all still yet to hit their prime Edited July 17, 2018 by Carninho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you set all the player ages this year interests me a lot, knowing that they are all still yet to hit their prime Hi Carninho, Stan Collymore is 20 at Crystal Palace and Garry Birtles will be included in the forest squad in the next update Graham Alexander isn't there and preston don't need him, this is the invicibles preston team that went the whole league and cup season unbeaten. He may also be included in a future update. I am picking the England Squad myself to be honest, Le Tissier & Clough are both worthy picks in my opinion, Its actually a travesty le tiss didn't win more england caps than he did and Clough was a better footballer than he was a manager. He was such a good manager of course that people focus on his managerial career but in my research I obviously discovered he was an even better player! That said, I could of probably picked an even better England squad but this is just for the purpose of showing some world cup games on here. I have done extensive testing over many seasons and everything is perfect. I am very happy that it is ready for release. Transfer activity is booming.. Players cost less and wages are less too. You can buy players from the start. Clubs will sell and Players will go. Clubs buy and sell and mix the squads up a bit. There are not many 'premiership/championship standard' older players to buy tbh, as everyone 'who is anyone' is younger The reason i lowered the age is because someone asked that the legends be younger so that we have more time to enjoy them.. To be fair, if they are 21 years of age, they are not going to improve much more from where they are, it wasnt that i wanted them younger so they 'come' into their prime, it was more a case that we could enjoy them 'in their prime' for longer obviously anyone below the age of 21 still have improvements to make and the younger the players are, the more improvements they will have to make. I can guarantee that this years version is the best ever with over Double the Depth of previous years. Edited July 17, 2018 by Fenech 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the legends going to be priced out of the game for all but the elite given the huge wages and transfer fees in football and FM these days? Hi Weezer Great Question. I have not touched Club Finances for the simple reason that if you e.g. give a club more money, then this has a bad effect on FFP unless you increase the sponsorships and if you start increasing finances and sponsorships, then it really does take away from the realistic nature and authenticity of the game. However there are NO Foreground Sugar Daddies in this game, so no oil e.g. as we are going back to 1880, these oligarchs and oilgarchs never existed. This is FM 1880 really in Hard Mode because it really does come down to tactics such is the quality on the pitch. Saying that, Wages and Transfer Values have been recoded completely so Wages are less and Player values are affordable. It is similar to the 2017 version in that regard, The legends are not priced out of the game and from the start, clubs will sell and as long as you are offering the player the level of football they want, players will go. Obviously in Hungary its like ringing the dinner bell, world class mighty magyars in a bumper sale as leagues like hungary just need the money and also bargains to be found all over the world here, esp in german third divison where clubs who used to be winners have slide down the leagues and never returned to former glories, there are bargains everywhere but yes, some clubs will demand money for top players like maradona, but pele is at santos so he should be reasonable enough... Players cost less and wages are less but clubs individual finances have not been touched and foregrounds are gone. Unfortunately I cant change the greediness of agents. you can expect much better quality of regens worldwide and finally Brexit is removed.

Naturally it will have an effect now there may be players who would of been of a certain international/premiership standard and now may be a great player but not on that level or even at just a championship level. But you have all the major players since 1880 on the stage at the same time so this is bound to happen. However if a player is still great for their clubs and in the champions league it is still going to have a positive effect on the value. The value reflects the ability of the player in his current standing and that will of course fluctuate accordingly depending on his success within the game. this is normal too. Of course great players who would of been capped in the normal game may not get another cap and it can also depend on the national managers squad selection, i may pick a certain team and you may pick completely different e.g. so its on a game by game basis... Ultimately the players ability will determine the value though. and that is something which a player can gain as they develop, or lose as they age or get injured or if they dont get the game time or if they dont get the success etc etc and this is all normal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezer Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 This db makes things tough! Had no money for signings at the start of the season and was languishing around 15th-18th by November/December. Got given a wedge of cash by the board just before the January window though so strengthened with the signings of Jose Santamaria, John McPherson and Jozsef Bozsik. Since then I've won 3 of my last 4 and climbed to 11th in the table. It's nice to play a good old fashioned 442 now as well with the plethora of traditional wingers and more 'old school' target men or poacher style forwards available in this db.
