Damola3 needs to stop writing random stuff here, majority of his stuff are totally biased towards Arsenal and other things are just random based on 1 or 2 games he saw from a player... Just an example Ciro Immobile, can't even spell his name right prolly watched 1 WC game with him and comes here telling to reduce his most important stats, when a player has had an amazing season in Italy and Dortmund have spent big money for him... I can give you a lot more examples of pure randomness he writes if necessary.
No he he is offside alot playing for Torino and I didn't watch 1 world cup game. He did have a good season but it's fact that he does get plenty of offsides per game. I do watch plenty of European football. Don't assume someone has watched 1 game without knowing them. Yes I am an Arsenal fans but I don't go in with plain bias and I'm fine with admitting I'm wrong. Eg. I remember when Adebayor scored 30+ and he was offside 5-6 times a game. Every player has weaknesses.

Man city:

Samir Nasri created the most chances in the league last season so needs a. Upgrade if anything not downgrade.
Kolarov upgrade was also good last year
Clichy downgrade
Fernandinho slightly more upgraded(think he's been done but a bit more)he was basically running in midfield on his own last season so stamina should be up to around the top aswell
Huws ca upgrade (been linked with a loan move to premier league clubs this year)
Rekik ca upgrade but potential stay same
Nastasic possibly set as injury prone and slight ca downgrade
Richards big downgrade injury prone
Caballero upgrade slightly
Rodwell downgrade pa
Jordy hiwula pa upgrade big,never seen him go past league 1 and should become premier league striker at least
Guidetti downgrade
Maybe downgrade jovetic but I wouldn't he showed glimpses when fit.
Don't know if you're doing stuff to managers but:
Also pellegrini formation change to either attacking 4-2-2-2 or 4-2-3-1 Denmark, current is too deep and defensive and he often drops silva, navas and Nasri because of it
Patrick vieira plays passing 4-3-3 not direct like in game
Same with Jason Wilcox also passing 4-3-3
Also vieira upgrade managing pa many see him as future city manager and done well for eds in first season
will take a look

Mattias Genc (Assyriska FF) Has scored a lot of goals in the lower leauges in sweden, but he deservs a higer grad on his finishing witch is now only 8, maybe 11-12?

Mans Soderqvist (Kalmar FF) Top scorer in swedish Allsvenskan, needs a improvment in finishing now it 10 maybe 12?

Dardan Rexhepi (Brommapojkarna IF) Also needs a improvmemt i finishing maybe 11? he has now only 8 in finishing.

Can you update Leeds united transfer budget? Cellino has said the clubs budget is 15 million.


Expects 5-6 new signings


thanks
Yes it has had a boost following McCormack sale
Atletico Madrid's Thiago has switched to chelsea not only as a player but also developing in a coaching role. This is if you haven't already done it
not confirmed yet
roma suggestions

strootman - his tackling should be higher than the 12/13 the game starts with, rest of his attributes are fine

pjanic - finishing and tackling should be higher, he's very similar to oscar in both those regards

gervinho - after the season he had he deserves slightly higher finishing (12-13) and a few mental upgrades, he's definitely back to his best

castan - definite tackling/marking/mental/jumping upgrade, he and benatia were one of the best CB pairings in europe

rest seems about right
yep
Rekik needs a CA upgrade, also his status in the squad is not HomeGrown. But he is homegrown player, can u please rectify this. Here's the link. Manchester City want £15m for Roma target Nastasic - Goal.com
agree on increasing, will take a look at home grown
Lahm has retired from international duty
such a shame
 
No he he is offside alot playing for Torino and I didn't watch 1 world cup game. He did have a good season but it's fact that he does get plenty of offsides per game.

You don't even know his name but you know his play style in details... Your request to upgrade Walcott because he scored 21 goals and 16 assists in 43 games 2 seasons ago is a joke (and you even wrote he played 31 instead of 43 games, don't know where those 12 games disappeared but goals and assists stayed the same)...
 
If a player is offside too much IRL then you just add Likes to beat offside trap and he will be offside 4-5 times a game at least, but requesting to reduce his anticipation,decisions and off the ball movement to 6-7 is just crazy... anticipation and off the ball movement are the most important stats of a good poacher.

It says on this site that these stats are needed to execute the ppm well. E.g. in my saves I have my defenders to play out of the bacl because they have 18+ composure and high passing but if I was in the championship, mistakes would be made because of low composure and passing. Fm doesn't work like that. I trained Joel campbell that ppm a few seasons in and he does the offside trap perfectly because he has the right stats. Well that explains why he isn't the perfect poacher. Vossen and Hernandez are the best tbh.
 
I'm a Torino ultra fan and these changes need to be made:
  • Ruben Perez on loan from Athletico Madrid with an option to purchase for 3.5 million
  • Omar El Kaddouri on loan from Napoli with option purchase for 3 million
  • Alexander Farnerud torn ligament until October
  • Cerci's value is too low should be roughly 12-16 million
  • Nikola Maksimovic is now a competent right back / right wing back
  • Antonio Nocerino on loan from Milan for 1 years, option for a second, his contract with Milan expires in 2016
  • Matteo Darmian needs to be changed to a natural right back, accomplished right wing + left back, competent left wing back. CA should reflect his performance at the World Cup
  • Fabio Quagliarella officially joins from Juventus for 3.5 million to be paid over 3 years
  • Alfred Gomis has the potential to be an excellent goalkeeper, see his value climb on transfermarkt
Loans:
Alfred Gomis to Avelino
Lys Gomis to Trapani
Mattia Aramu to Trapani
Antonio Barreca to Cittadella
Andrea Ientile to Südtirol
Alessandro Comentale to Como
Sergiu Suciu to Crotone
Simone Verdi to Empoli
Vittorio Parigini to Perugia
Emmanuel Gyasi to Pisa

Phillip Lahm is the best right back for the last decade :( why retire now? Do you think that Klose or Podolski will retire now? They both have 100+ caps.
 
Also would you take Cavani at Liverpool? I think that he's worth 25-30 million at most and not 55.
 
Have you updated Blackpools squad? these are the 8 players that currently there,

High wages and 40-50mil+ fee - no i wouldn't

Not pretending i watch him regularly and his numbers are quite impressive still but every time i have seen him play (10-15 times roughly) he has been hardly noticed and quite poor

How does that work you're in the year 2014 but you can see the result for the 2018 World Cup?!

This ia a few months after the world cup and teams are about to play qualifiers for the 2018 world cup.

32 games 14 goals 10 assists, you said 31 games 21 goals 14 assists!
It's obvious to everyone that you just write random stuff claiming you watch lots of different leagues and players when you clearly don't watch and have no idea about those players.
Just wanted to point out to Marshall to double check everything you write since it's mostly incorrect.
Done with this discussion.
