^^^ just so the people can see he doesn't make any costly mistakes.
i bought papadopolous 2nd season with liverpool, cost me 40m i think. now i'm in 6th season and he's not turned out great despite getting loads of games. his tackling is fantastic, he dives in and always wins the ball. but whenever i concede a goal its always him who caused it, or missed his interception. for that reason i generally leave him out of my team. after 4 seasons my staff rated zapata as better, and he only cost me about 8m (good solid squad player). i couldnt figure out why papadopolous was so poor when his stats are so great, his concentration etc is no bad. one thing i noticed was his agility, it was something like 7 so i've had him working on that for a few years but it hasnt made a difference.
i tried to sign sakho and hummels but neither would come so i signed howedes instead. he's pretty beastly and has been my best CB since i signed him 2nd season, so far i've won the treble and world club cup (4th season) with him in my defence.
based on my experience i'd recommend going for someone other papadopolous.
how did you make him soo good ???
Limited defender training schedule and individual training. Only remember one bad game he had for me, which was a UCL final where he got a rating of 3.5![]()
lool he was nervous mabe he couldn't handle the pressure loolwould it be possible if you can print screen his training schedule for us please ?
They have been playing together for Leeds for 6 months now, and are each others favourite players. A bit of a Greek Bromance going on there!
What my players get up to behind closed doors is up to them as long as it doesn't hinder their on-pitch performance.
I'm not sure if his decision making and concentration will improve to be honest but it's not being a problem for me so far. Perhaps if you invest in a good mental coach and put him on an intense mental training regime, in a few seasons those stats will be good as well. I'm confident that he will be my star centre back for as long as I play the game until he retires, or a bigger club comes to knick him.
how do you put someone in intense mental training regime ?????
****! I thought there was a mental training slider when making training schedules. Did I just make that up? The coaches have mental training attributes - perhaps hiring coaches with high mental coaching attributes will do the trick. I wouldn't dwell on it too much. He's a top class centre back, and if you do want to get rid of him later on, then his value is only going to increase.
I would probabaly go for Hummels. I expect he'll cost you quite a lot!
