This worked for me for Tato skin, but presumably it should work with any skin. First few steps are for Tato skin specifically. 1. Install and run Resource Archiver. 2. Extract the Tato FMF file to Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins through Resource Archiver. 3. Make Tato...

I have tested most divisions and clubs in FM21 (all on latest patch). You can read my free and non-monetized article on it here. As a teaser, here are the top 20 (active) clubs worldwide: Chelsea 142 PA, 145 PA, 130 PA, 153 PA, 153.5 PA, 147 PA = 145.7 PA Rennes 125 PA, 171 PA, 143.5 PA, 141...

Full data: Ivory coast - ASEC Mimosas 117.5|126|115|105|116|118 = 116.25 PA, Africa Sports 95|81|76|98|69 = 83.8 PA, SC Gagnoa 76|47 = 61.5 PA, AFAD Djekanou 79|102|114|76|105|102 = 96.33 PA, WAC 31PA, LYS FC 30.5 PA Algeria - ES Setif 88.5|65|110|99.5|106|104 = 95.5 PA, USM Alger...

Because no African league apart from South Africa exists in the game, I decided to activate the leagues in the editor to get a clear picture of their newgen quality. No attributes were changed. The most accurate measure of newgen quality is the median CA/PA of the intake. Given that very few...

From memory, you need to wait until one of the other u23 teams drops out, which from even vaguer memory is when their main team gets relegated sufficiently. But consider this.. The u23 competition reduces your players training time due to more matches. They will also be more likely to...

Here are some results from other nations which might interest some people: Belarus Div 1 - BATE 89 PA, Shakhter Soligorsk 90 PA, Dinamo Brest 82 PA, Dinamo Minsk 84-87 PA, Torpedo Zhodino 65-66 PA, Vitebsk 74-89 PA Israel Div 1 - Hapoel Be'er-Sheva 84-85 PA, Maccabi Tel-Aviv 109-119 PA...

You should still be getting good newgens from Brazil with just the top clubs loaded.. here is the raw Brazil data: Brazil Div 1 - Palmeiras 127-131 PA, Flamengo 135 PA, Gremio 109-124 PA, Corinthians 123-126 PA, Sao Paulo 142-149 PA, Santos 105 PA, Cruzeiro 138-140 PA, Internacional 114 PA...

Yes, that's probably very well true. I'm using FM19 and experienced the same. Your post made me think about this and brought me to a conclusion that I mention in Part 2, which is that the way to go about it would be to leave youth players in your youth teams for as long as possible to develop...

Part 2. 'Attacking'/'Possession'/'Defending' (specialized) sessions In my schedule I have 'attacking wings', 'defending engaged', 'chance conversion', 'chance creation', and 'aerial defense'. You will want to choose your own sessions based on what tactical style and attributes your tactic...

Thanks Yes, feel free to make articles using my information, though I would like a simple attribution to my username and blog. The reason I haven't made this into a blog post yet is because it's more speculative than fact-based, unlike my findings on newgen PA. When I get more evidence, and...

First the results to hook you in. The following results were achieved at Dulwich Hamlet, with training facilities of '5' or (later) '6', and with zero experience in competitive matches. After 12 months: After 2 years: After 3 years: Next come the caveats. I use a Knap...

So I did a test of this: England Premier League + 'Large' Database Time to load 1 year: 5:41 Total newgens after 1 year: 851 Rennes newgens: 2 Kano Pillars newgens: 0 England Premier League + 'Large' Database + All Players Time to load 1 year: 31:38 Total newgens after 1 year: 44,929 Rennes...

This is something that interests me, that as you say, is difficult to isolate. My theory on training will identify key attributes that are beneficial across all players, and the degree (roughly) to which they are beneficial (for instance, 'professionalism' is more important than 'penalties')...

The above advice is good I think I can add a bit If you have good training and have it so your youth/reserve teams always win against their opponents, then it will be much better than any loan due to good training + good happiness Youth teams will actually train better than your first team...

Just sent you a message, but in case someone else wants to know, I plan on making posts on these two things soon: Training Set of steps to creating a near-perfect custom DB (hours long process, but gives better result than default game) I can put out some more stuff on PA (i.e. more specific...
