![]() ![]() But to allow me to switch formations in game I buy players who usually play more that one position. I have two basic formations as I start either 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-3, very occasionally I'll chuck in a 4-1-3-2 if I'm going defensive. This includes monitoring their general fitness as well as making sure you have enough cover for injuries. Strikers are generally at their best between the ages of 26 and 31.īefore you even get to a game you need to make sure your squad is prepared. Midfielders are generally at their best between the ages of 27 and 32. Goalkeepers are generally at their best between the ages of 31 and 35.ĭefenders are generally at their best between the ages of 27 and 32. I don't think temperament or consistency are such big deciding factors, especially if I only really intend to use the player more as cover for the first team. Some scout reports mention a player can be a bit inconsistent or not do well in big matches.Īs a general rule I don't like signing injury prone players unless their attributes / stats are very good. Some scout reports mention a player can sometimes be hot-headed so bear in mind he may get booked / sent off more than other players. If a player gets injured a lot it may not be worth signing him as he may only be fit for a handful of games a season. ![]() Repeat until you sign him or lose interest in him.īefore signing a player there are some key things I look at: It's best to add them for a year as when the year is up you are notified they are being automatically removed from your shortlist and there is nothing to stop you scouting them again and then adding them for another year. But don’t use 'indefinitely' as they will still be on your list many seasons later. That way you can always make a counter bid if you now decide you want to player. Secondly, if a player is on your shortlist then you will get notified if some other club offers them a contract. Firstly, you can access your shortlist at a later date to see players you liked the look of, but didn't sign. There's a couple of reason for doing this. Similar to the above, when you scout a player you really need to use your scout with the best judging abilities so you get the best assessment of his abilities.Īfter scouting someone, if you like the look of someone, you can add them to your short list. So I do that all manually which means I select 'always close down' and 'show on to weaker foot' for all their midfield and forwards. Further proof of his poor skill was that on match days the 'advise on opponent players' button was greyed out - that's because he was not skilled enough to do it. The reason I got my assistant was for his training skills as he gave me 4.5 stars for tactics as I hadn't realised the implications of his poor judging skills. So if you then replace your assistant with someone who has much better judging abilities don't be surprised when a player who previously had 4 star ability now has a lower rating. This means you get 'false ratings' in the player ability & potential star ratings as most players look good to someone who can't really judge very well. Even now I'm still learning things as I've just come to realise my Assistant Coach is rubbish at judging players (think he's got ratings of 3 & 4) so his squad assessment is probably not very good.
