LFCMarshall's FM14 update suggestion thread

Release date:

Saturday 16th November 10:00AM


this is just a starter update with minor changes to some players ability and transfers/changes missed from the past month

 

[yaniv297]

One thing that really jumps to mind - Paulinho's stats are criminally low.

 

[phearn]

I think Andros Townsend deserves a small increase in CA and a decent increase in PA after his start to the season.

Hi there Marshall, a couple more suggestions heading your way:

- Romelu Lukaku should not have 8 stamina and 8 technique. I would agree his main strengths are his physical attributes, but 8 in technique is too low in my opinion. 8 in stamina is just weird, considering his work rate and how fit he is.

- Tettey @ Norwich is a regular starter for what has been a poor Norwich team so far. But he should at least be good enough too be the first choice as an anchor man/ball-winning midfielder at their team.

- Joel Ward @ Palace has been one of two good players in that team this year. Maybe make him a bit better, should at least be first choice imo.

- Saido Berahino @ West Brom should be better overall.

- Daniel Sturridge should perhaps have more than 7 in teamwork? He has become a much better teamplayer the last few years.

- Balotelli has not had a good season. He should still have more than 5/6 in teamwork/work rate. I know why they have set it so low, but it ends up with him doing NOTHING in the game. He actually passes the ball a lot, making good passes etc.

- Pogba @ Juventus should be slightly better. Regular starter and impressive in those games i've seen (Champions League)

- Ogbonna @ Juventus should be better aswell. Also regular starter, with Asamoa on the bench (because of injury as well though).

- Adrien Rabiot and Hervin Ongenda @ PSG should have a lot higher CA (dont know their PA though). Rabiot has been a regular/semi-regular starter this season, and Ongenda has both been used as a sub and as a starter a couple of times.

Yaya Toure
Free Kick taking needs improving

Alvaro Negredo needs a boost i think on his CA, he's performing out of his skin and I think a few attributes boost might be needed to match his real life ability (Aggression and Tackling) as he currently seems to operate a more Defensive Forward role

 

[iamauser]

Probably been mentioned but Yaya Toure's freekick taking. 12. 12!!! Deffo needs to be higher.

A couple more suggestions Marshall:

I forgot one player at Soton which deserves a slight upgrade in CA: Jose Fonte. He is not world class, but he has played well for an (overperforming?) Soton this year. He and Lovren makes a good centerback pairing. He should be better than what he currently is in the game.

Matt Lowton @ Villa should be slightly faster i think. And maybe a slight increase in passing aswell. He has really good vision on the field.

Cardiff: Frazier Campbell has been decent. Maybe a slight CA increase? Jordon Mutch is also rapidly improving his performances, maybe a tidy bit better aswell.

Stoke: Arnautovic should have teamwork upped a bit. 5 is too low. His mental stats in general seem really low. Been pretty good for Stoke imo, on an below average team. Begovic should get positioning increased slightly imo, maybe to 15. He is real quality and has been for a couple of seasons.

Sunderland: Is it possible to remove Dossena from the game? Horrible player and a horrible tackle last weekend.

West Ham: Mark Noble should maybe get one or two up on speed. And should have a higher tackle stat. He often plays more or less as a ball winning midfielder.

Liverpool: Coutinho should have PPM "Tries killer balls often" or what is called. He tried 10-20 trough balls against Arsenal alone. IMO, dont get mad Liverpool fans: Lucas Leiva is a bit overrated in the game. His pace has been well off several times this year etc. But thats your call Marshall. Wisdom on the other hand is rated a bit poorly or? I know he has been loaned out to the championship, but still. Kolo Toure slight increase? He has actually been good this year. Henderson work rate should be increased.

Arsenal: Kieran Gibbs should be improved. He has played well, and is not close to being real quality in the game IMO. Flamini should be a bit better. Giroud slightly better technically. Bellerin and Gnabry should be better. Zealem and Crowley should have better CA, as they are (despite HUGE PA) not close to being good players atm in the game.

City: Kolarov higher Positioning. Other changes have been mentioned by others. George Evans on Under-21 is on loan to Crewe until february 2014. He was on the bench several times last year and seems a real good prospect. Has been playing steadily for Crewe I think (can anyone confirm?). Should have a large CA/PA increase. Shaun Facey @ U-21 the same.

These are a bit more controversial I guess.

 

[Jensefaen]

Also, regarding Jay Rodriguez: His PPM makes no sense. He now usually plays as an inside forward/winger or poacher. He does not "come deep to get ball". He should be modeled into more of an inside forward type/poacher than what he currently is, imo.

 

[Jensefaen]

Gaston Ramirez @ Sotons CA should be lower. He has not been close to a starting this position, and is not even part of the squad tonight. However: Sam Gallagher who is in the squad should have a lot higher PA and higher CA aswell. 18 year old english players who gets picked in Soton squad tend to be quite good players in the future.

 

[MikaBrandonOng]

Hey Marshall... one thing... Cristiano Ronaldo still the most expensive player? isn't Gareth Bale?

Madrid still say Ronaldo is most expensive, Bale was a little below 80 million according to them anyway

 

[Jensefaen]

The game states value anyways. I think most would agree that Real payed a higher price considering the players skill/normal market value than they did with Ronaldo. Ronaldo is a better player than Bale, no doubt.

Cant really change it considering Madrid are adamant it was less... we all know Ronaldo is better though

ok thanks^^

 

[pompey forever99]

alright mate, i know people say the stars for players doesnt mean how good they are its how valuable they are to your team or somin but how come Liverpools are so low like Mignolet is 2 stars coutinho 2 and a half and Sturridge also 2 and a half, just curious :S

Suggestions

- Draxler should have 20 on amc and maybe a slight improvement in creativity. He should also have a little bit higher CA and PA imo.
- Coutinho should have 19 in technique. There is not many people in the world with better technique than him.
- Omar Elabdellaoui is a right back. He should have 20 on RB, 17 on RWB, 15 on RM, RW and CM. He is very versatile.
- Reus has 11 in passing and thats ridiculous. Should be 14-15.
- Suso has been very good for Almeria this season so he could need a CA boost.
- Lewandowski should have better composure.

I disagree with some of these changes: Coutinho is a huge prospect, but I dont think he has proven to start with 19 technique. There are in my opinion many players with equal or better technique but worse stats. IMO 19 and 20 stats should only be for people who are pretty unique in their fields (Persie for finishing, Xavi/Ozil for passing, Suarez for dribbling etc.) I dont think Coutinhos technique is 19. He has been good for Liverpool, but the season is still early and he is a huge prospect in the game already.

Same with Draxler, has huge PA and good CA to begin with.

Agree with Reus/Lewandowski, even though increasing Lewandowski even further seems suspect considering he is the best forward in the game already.

Suso I know nothing about.
