The Ask Raikan thread...

[Raikan007]

Hi Raikan, I am managing Aston Villa. I have more or less 10mm in January due to selling a lot of dead wood. I am in need of a DMC, that can also play CM support. I can get Romeu for 4-5mm. Is that a good deal? Also I need a GK as Given has HUGE wages and also he will be 37 soon. For sure I can not buy Stegen, but I need one GK with many years in front of him. Any ideas? (around another 5mm) it would be a good idea to buy a DLF as well that can make the difference but I do not have a lot of money. Rochina is available,maybe I can get him on loan, for the second half of the season and then snap Destro.. Right now I am playin Wellington Nem as a DLF but I think in AMC he would be better. Another solution would be to sign Gylfi (8mm unhappy) and keep playing Welli as Forward. What do you think? Is there any other BEAST that I can get?

Sorry for the thousand questions

hey bud,

not too sure what he looks like, (hold on) no, no deal! he is not great in the future at all...

check this out mate, see if you can find and pick up some of these players

Rochina is good!

Gylfi is also a good option for that price mate!

Jadson is quality mate.. Wijnaldum, Maher, Bernard, Inui, Coutinho..

Found this guy last week, looks pretty good

hey bud,

they are tough, play defensively or on the counter, thats Fm13 mate its realistic..

I would not use my tactics for pool, they never, ever work properly.. try TBH's or veez

how long have you been using it for? what other changes have you made? where are the problems coming from and where are you doing well?

Fully aware of the realism haha only too well

I am keen to make your tactics user friendly towards Liverpool. Now that I am in season 3, I can safely assume my stamp is getting placed on it and the style you use for the amazing amc tactic is how I want my teams to play. Getting good results from the set pieces with it going short and then getting drilled in. Got quite a few own goals this way.

I modified it slightly now with the inside forward being wilshere in the amc role with 2 attacking wingers. Had a hard run of games but have since beat Man City 4-1 away, lost 2-1 away to Barca but have also beaten Chelsea 4-1 at home with Arsenal left to play in a tricky pack of fixtures.

I have always had good success from setting my strikers to poachers for the goals they get but I am thinking of turning that role into an advanced forward to get more from that role. If I was to do this would I need to set it to support or attack? Or if there is a better option for the 3 strikers (Borini, Suarez, Immobile) What do you suggest?

Unfortunately due to my job I play FMC, so I don't have many options, but I will try to find another one. For example Jali is not available in FMC. Do yuo have in mind a quality DMC that can also play CM?
Thanks again. I will take Rochina on loan and see how he turns out... Regararding GK?

orite people. am chelsea going into 2016/17 season. terry and cole just retired and i'm looking to overhaul the defence. the only defenders i've got that i'm happy with are dede, david luiz and phil jones. have lots of money to spend and would like the best to fill the gaps. ideally wanting a great left back and right back so i can move jones to CB. went for otemendi and some other right back from porto but they wanted like 70m each for them, which i refuse to pay. any ideas?

Gino Peruzzi is a monster rb

 

[kostasq]

Raikan and everyone, due to the 3-5-2 I play, I have a AMC right behind the two strikers? How would you set the two strikers?
Right now I play with DLF and AF. But I was thinking that since I have the AMC linking the play maybe I should use AF and Poacher. Any suggestions?

poacher - poacher

switching positions, short passing, through balls often

run from deep and with ball often

good mate, AF works well, AF is only available in attack

Thank you and then thank you again

6 months to a year

he will not accept those terms mate.. its such a pain with release clauses.. just offer him more wages and signing fee's and increase the release clause.. it worked for me in the past

Thanks Raikan

It was 9 or 10 months into his new contract, offered him a new one annnnnd..

He asked for 90+k a week but brilliantly wanted an £133 Mil release clause in his contract. (H)

That was a pretty easy negotiation.

 

[nihatek]

player values are subject to your clubs rep..

um, the players current value is shown on the profile mate..

not sure exactly what else you mean...

Player value is according to my club reputation?

Yeah, i know it is in their profile - but lets say. Player is evaluated for 130k, i sold him for 1,3 milion and after the transfer he was evaluated as 625.... i wanted to sell him for twice the value and my guess turned out correct - but how can i get more accurate values then on the profile - because i just feel it is total rubbish

 

[rockstarkilla]

Hi Raikan its been a while!XD

So i just started my first a save with Monaco FC and im looking to strenghten the squad up front, i might get Wellingtom Nem(just need to get his contract done) but im lost on who i could bring. Im playing the 4231 formation

Thanks in advance

 

[brommers92]

Hey pal, I was wondering if you know how to create tournements in the editor that will work in the game because I wanted to create a summer competition called the "Unicef Champions Cup" which consist of four random teams including the winner and runner up of the Champions league, the winner of the Europa League and the Winner of the Brazillian Leauge and I know there is a way but I have nooo clue how to mate help would be greatly appreciated !!

yes it is mate...

thats because the club that bought him has a higher rep than you but not high enough to value that player at his transfer value which was over 1000% higher...

there should be enough there to find at least 3 good players for cheap also, look at Alan Ruiz - Gimnasia

hey mate, sorry, I do not touch the editor or any other tool etc have no clue.. ask LFC Marshall, he is the best around

Hi again Raikan.

I have like a million questions this week I guess

So I've noticed that 1 of my players stats are decreasing, when I noticed this I took the coaches advice and put him on his individual role training (average intensity, but it says workload is heavy?) but this didn't seem to make any difference (although I don't know how long it takes to have an effect).

Right now hes injured but he has half a star potential left and hes already world class so I just want him to stay at the level he is at least (hes just turned 23)

EDIT: Although now my Attacking coach has recommended put him on quickness in his coach report , but in his training screen recommends individual role.

hey bud,

http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/foot...4251-why-do-my-players-stats-drop-thread.html

my saying and I stick to it is, "stats talk and PA & stars walk"

I have several players that are 2 stars and 2.5 stars in my squad, yet they are really good players and play most of the time, well I rotate a lot, its my style.. but they have the required stats I need to perform certain roles that I need them to in my tactics..

players star ratings drop and rise a lot, just remember, its your coaches giving you these values, they are not scouts and some might not have very good PA judging stats either..

if he is already WC then I would not stress at all mate, I am sure after his injury (which is why his stats are dropping as he cannot train or play) he will pick it up again, well depending on how bad the injury is
