So it seems that I indeed had to keep starting him to keep the dot green. I had been starting him in the odd game here and there (not every other game though) but 9 days before the end of the promise period I noticed the dot had gone back to orange at some point. So I started him in the only...

Yeah, thanks guys. I'll be starting him in as many games as I can afford atm (fighting for the League 1 title) just to be safe. In a couple of months, when things have run their course, I'll post an update on how it went. That's quite a funny anecdote about Lingard, I'd say it should at least...

Thanks for giving me your view on it! That's what I was thinking as well, but since there were only 99 days left on the progress bar, it couldn't correspond to a full season. So then I thought it might be half a season and he'd assess his situation then. But in that case I'd still expect the dot...

Although he never explicitly asked me about it, one of my youngsters (Nathan Mills) wanted to get a chance in the first team this season. I've been obliging somewhat, especially because he wouldn't sign a new contract until I did. Out of the 21 league games we've played so far he's started in...

Would the AML truly stay up there (behind the opposition full back) without extra instructions? (the Get Further Forward instruction is already active for his current role and duty) I gather you would opt to push the right flank player up to AMR as well? I'm aware of the defensive vulnerability...

So I'm preparing for an away game vs Man City (with Everton) and I want to exploit the spaces behind their attacking full backs. What I'd like to do is to instruct (both or perhaps only one of) my flank players and my sole striker to stay high when not in possession, ready to break, while the...

This is a question I've been meaning to ask for a while. When you start a new game (or move to a new club), obviously you need to sort out a good tactic for your team. Together with match fitness, this is what pre-season is for. Now, I was wondering how other people go about testing their...

I don't know if that's ever been the case with me. Granted, I usually go for low league clubs which means I rarely even look at those kinds of players (can't sign them anyway). I can't imagine the computer clubs wouldn't have to scout as well when you enable masking. Also, it's not because a...

Yeah that logic works for Wilshere, but his attributes will already be shown exactly for that reason. Only for players you wouldn't realistically know the attributes of, they are masked. The masking does make it more realistic and if you're gonna scout for potential anyway, why not leave it...

If you don't enable attribute masking, what's the point of scouting? I think most people do leave it enabled (as I believe it is by default), at least I do. ;)

Oh I can understand it, but only because I don't have dyslexia. ;)

Dude. Sentences. Form them. :P

Might try to take a regional Belgian team to European glory, once someone has been awesome enough to put together a decent database for those leagues. I currently have an FM14 save in Singapore and I'm enjoying that, so I might also do something similar on FM15. Lastly, I want to return to Spain...

I don't think the "ranged" scouting works that way. As I understand it, the ranges will replace the blank attributes from previous versions, which means you won't miss out on a player you don't know the Pace attribute of because you used a Pace > 15 filter for example. If you do scout the...

Thank you! I knew there was some place where you could check this stuff but I just couldn't find it in the 14 version. Thought one of my players should be eligible already, but turns out he's still got 1.5 years or so to go. Bummer. Thanks again though.
