Okay, Celtic changes:
James Forrest deserves a fitness and balance increase, he looks extremely naked and as though he was just thrown together, rather than had someone actually scout him to see that he's a very underrated player with lots of potential. He's 22 as well now, and doing well and showing more maturity on the pitch, so I would suggest the following changes too: Creativity - 14. Crossing - 15. Flair - 16. Technique - 14. But that's it, everything looks well enough to be in place to develop correctly on their own. He's a great wee player, but he's not exactly up there with your Adam Johnson's or your Gareth Bales.
Lassad has left. His contract was mutually terminated. I heard about this a few weeks ago, I don't think it's been properly confirmed for anyone to clarify online.
Samaras can do with the following changes - CA/PA 10 higher on both, I would maybe make them both 165. He's always been a very reliable player and is a giant when it comes to looking for getting the job done when the rest of the team are struggling. Most of his attributes are spot on, but as I said a PA/CA could do him justice. Heading - 17. Finishing - 14. Long shots - 13. Marking - 12. Bravery - 14. Composure - 12. Concentration - 15. Decisions - 14. Influence - 15.
I tried this before when I went to update my Celtic side, and I made everyones CA/PA 20 higher and Manchester United were coming in for Commons, very unrealistic, so I took it down to 10 and Scott Brown, Joe Ledley and Charlie Mulgrew in particular's attributes were that of a ******* monster, like Hamsik or Moutinho. So if you leave them the way they are they'll be just fine. Whilst everyone else could do with a 5 - 10 increase.
Adam Matthews also is in need of some changes, he's only 21 and got bags of potential, which already shows in the game, but some attributes are off now that the season has been complete: Passing - 15. Composure - 14. Concentration - 13. Creativity - 15. Decisions - 14. Flair - 15 and Balance 13.
The following youth prospects should be taken a look at, their attributes and CA/PA are just ridiculous and have found it difficult to bring said players into the first time over time because their attributes aren't correctly matching their position on the field.
Marcus Fraser, he's considered a star of the future, deffo needs a CA/PA change. Marking, Concentration, Natural Fitness, Anticipation, Decision Making, Composure and Influence all needing set right, I would say between 10 - 13 for each. In my current game, Marcus, Paul George, Lewis Kidd, Tony Watt, James Forrest, Adam Matthews, Dylan Mcgeouch, Filip/Patrik Twardzik, Calum McGregor, Jackson Irvine, Tom Rogic, Joe Chalmers and Paddy McNally I have set their CA/PA to 121/175. Patrik could sit at 111/145, as his brother is the better of the two. Joe Chalmers you needent touch attribute wise as this boost compliments the player he's been showing signs to be. Tom Rogic and Dylan I would make their passing 14 and that's it.
Also, some system changes, we should have 20 in passion, loyality and influence as you don't need a genius to tell you we have the best fans and home and away atmosphere on the planet! Also our training facilities should be all 20 as we have state of the art facilities and always have, we're always producing the best youth prospects (if we manage to keep them, introduce them to the first team and not sell) This era under Neil Lennon we will see that, the past years not so much.
But yeah, this is my honest and unbiased opinions on the changes needed to be made. We're the top team in the league, yet in some games we're being tipped to draw with Aberdeen, wtf?! Also, a reputation update would be good too. I know everyone believes their club to be the best, with the best history, fans, players and facilities, and that doesn't ring across on FM, but Celtic are a special club, always have been and always will, we're up there with Barcelona in terms of how we treat our players, how we enter games, the passion and commitment we show, our reputation speaks for us ALONE! (Just be stingy on the transfer funds, we've got an owner keen on never spending big bucks on anyone) and this game makes us look full on *****, and unrealistic and a genuine part of the rest of Scottish football.
Ain't no body got time for seeing big Samaras play to colossal measures in the Champions League, to see him struggle against a 35 year old winger for Falkirk, no ******* way!
