LOL you are an entertaining clown I'll give you that.

Name: Danny Drinkwater Injury: ankle, attacked by 6 men after trying to sleep with another players girlfriend Injury Length: ~4 weeks

Used to do it bit by bit yes, I'm not in any GW currently so it's more difficult for me to track when I do have some free time. That being said, hope I can return to doing them for the summer preds.

More examples of French Players risers so far etc. I WILL be doing a "best of France list" when French review is totally finished:- Obviously NOT 100% correct but i wasn't expecting that. Interesting as u can see Gnagnon dropped -1. I actually sold both him and Gelin because I thought from these stats neither would rise. It actually saved me 3million as u see, a benefit I hadn't even thought about! The Red boxes warning saved me from buying Traore or Bourigard, tho I did think Traore would rise. Disappointed Diallo didn't go up +4 or +5. I must think of a way to ammend the formula where it predicts 81's and 84's which SM so seldom use, in contrast to 80, 82, 83 and 85. Shouldn't be difficult, but I leave all these thoughts til after BIG5 Review is totally finished. Very disappointed CAMAVINGA got a really mean +3. Hoping to get another upload at some point today but I will be watching Chelsea while Recording Leeds and I think there's another big match at 5pm as well! So it may be late tho I have started it already. Otherwise tomorrow... Hope u find the above interesting... Also gonna see if SM have given me some more "Likes and Thanks" to spread yet!

I prefer his cousin Hocus Pocus

I am really glad PSG is only winning the league, especially for his president, who thinks he can simply splash money around and will win everything. This is football, and to be successful at the highest level you need to be organized and have stability before you start throwing Millions around for mercenary players, those won't win you big titles.

Bit of a farcical review so far. Unbelievable how Jesse Lingard's got an increase in rating above Ousmanne Dembele. Hopefully Anthony Martial gets his rating increase tomorrow at least, but at this rate it wouldn't be very surprising at all if he didn't. Imagine what rating Lingard would get if he was a star man at Barcelona 😆 Guendouzi to 83 is just ridiculous. He's come out of nowhere to play over 1500 minutes for Arsenal already this season, and recently has pretty much started every single game for them. He's also out performing a Granit Xhaka who's managing to keep hold of his 91. Mohamed Elneny couldn't lace his boots and maintains his 88 rating. Also, not that anyone will be particularly bothered but Dwight McNeil only maintaining his 70 rating despite 275 minutes at the time of his review at Burnley; whilst Ben Wilmot got an increase from 73 to 75 for 182 minutes at Watford just shows no logic whatsoever.

Since I am grateful to this community and I want to drop quickly a couple of names but my thread's dead, I'm going to do it here. I'm sure Costa will be happy too haha I don't have time to check if people already talked about these players so, sorry! Kulusevski (Atalanta) Djalo and Bradaric (Lille) Castrovilli and Sottil (Fiorentina) a lot of Famalicao players, such as Willian and Assuncao Haland, Bernede, Szoboszlai, Diakite (Salzburg) Kumbulla (Hellas) Ihattaren and Malen (PSV) Dest (Ajax) Simakan (Strasbourg) Majer (Lecce) Nuno Tavares (Benfica) @thorgan lesar @Elizeu Campos @HoochyKoochy

Watched worldwide football since the sixties and have said Pele, Super Leeds, 1966 WC and those days were the very best ever. It's a longtime to have this steadfast belief and then have it ruthlessly SMASHED in two Nights of sensational, unbelievable, incredible football. I have to change my mind and admit now after all these years, this the BEST TIME EVER to be watching football on this Planet. I also thank whoever made it possible at my time of life that I am still here to glory in every minute of those 2 incredible matches on 2 consecutive nights. Thank you to fate or whoever made it possible... SoccaVeryAPPY! 😂

early predictions for top 6 PL teams

Turan has dropped from 92 to 85 in less than two years. Mad decline.

I am so grateful for the predictions that you provide, Sir Rahul, I do not worry when the outcomes of few players do not go the way we want. If more people appreciated the fact that rating players as an art, not a science, they would be more content with the oddities that this game throws our way (as in real life). Keep up the good work, and know that your ongoing efforts are greatly valued by many of us here in the forums. Cheers The Madhatter. (Buying and selling based on forum predictions since 2008!)

I reckon Mazraoui will increase in a day or two. His entry on soccerwiki was edited a few days ago and the others who were edited either increased today or a few days ago (bar Tagliafico).

Boateng and Hummels are not going to be starters while Sule and Lucas Hernandez can form a formidable partnership for years to come. I agree Robertson is playing very good, has more assists than many midfielders and Liverpool is in great form but still I'd go with Lucas. I'm still not convinced this team (Pool) will be unbreakable for years to come. No offense but it's my opinion and I'm going to stand by it.

Really good prospect 86 maybe 87 if he continues to impress & West Ham are clear of Relagation which they should be... Son, Isco, depay 3rd choice No Keita is still settling in at Liverpool. Liverpools midfield wasn't as good as usual last night v Bayern ( a bit disjointed and passes not as quick and accurate as usual) Keita was taken off in 2nd half. Having said that I think he will come good in time just like Fabinho who was great at Centre Back last night. Keita just. The Duo See above comment, YES very useful -------------------------------------------------------------------- There was also a mention of Upamecano which the Multiquote hasn't saved. He's had an injured knee since game 23rd January but it was hoped to return by end of February. Some other Injuries in Bundasliga I made notes on might be of interest:- Haidara also at Leipzig out since 31 October with ACL Knee ligaments due back End of March Dortmund: Akanji out since 18 December (Hamstring) due back this week : Reus Out since 5 Feb (Thigh Muscle Strain) was due back on 18 February. Bayern: Tolisso ACL Knee ligaments due back March 19th : Robben out since 2nd December (Hamstring) due back Feb 24 Monchengladbach: Hofmann out since Feb 10th (Ankle / Foot) due back Feb 23 : Ibrahima Traore out since 13th December (Thigh Muscle) due back April 29th Leverkuson: Retsos out since 29 November (Thigh Muscle Rupture) due back Feb 21 : L Bender out since 31 January (Thigh Muscle Strain) due back Feb 28 Eintracht Frankfurt: Almamy Toure out since 21st November (Thigh Muscle Strain) due back Feb 28

Yes you are right, he should've stayed for as long as possible

I prefer oblak

Because he's Brazilian, Brazilians are the most overrated players in SM. If he's 90, Tadic, Ziyech, De Ligt, De Jong, should get at least 91, LOL. What a joke!

If Rosario doesn't move it might be next year before he's reviewed again unless he gets a random change some time. Long term he's worth keeping though. Definitely keep the others until the summer review at least. ... He's definitely got talent, but this is his breakthrough season and he's very young so bound to be a few mistakes there still. Could be proper top quality in a year or 2. Rakitic won't drop. Iniesta will get -2 at least, possibly -3. The rest are probably right. + 3 I'd say. As mentioned, they'll need a trophy. Don't think so, wages are weekly (2 SM weeks to 1 real week) and the cups are midweek in SM land. Think Salah +Torreira just edges it for me. Close though.

The Turkish review: an annihilation. Counted about 30+ droppers. Seems like they skipped six teams to get to Fenerbahce, and another eight to Besiktas. Usually they go by league table from the bottom. Guess they were itching to drop all those high rated guys.

I'll only do top 6. When it comes to Belgium @thorgan lesar 's preds are much better.

Ajax not in my new spreadsheet but eventually it will be. I'm totally All-out to get Big5 done with as with as many clubs as I can b4 the rush of the December / January review. After that top "Other clubs" might be a target but regret not now Thorgan. I don't think I'll do much more than Big5 and then only some top clubs like Ajax, possibly a few players I can scout from Brazil. Subbing mostly after his injury Maurito. To get more than +1 he needs more game time, tho he is an International now but again not yet regular. Could be anything, we await events in the near future which I'll feature in my spreadsheet shortly after they happen. Looking likely 87 yes and to get more SM would have to raise VILLA Cap to 88 (Possible now AV in Premiership!). Another Upload below:- Minutes will vary game by game and league position also helps a lot. Anything over 0% indicates likely riser, higher the better/safer. Negative percentages don't predict a drop just less chances of a rise. The more games played the more accurate the predictions should be. Remember ATM we are only about a dozen games into Big 5 Leagues. Previous predictions on pages 777, 779, 780, 781, 782, 783, 784.785,786,787, 788, 789, 790, 791, 792 Hesitant about Reims as first time in my spreadsheet. So a little bit of guesswork where to pitch them without a recent previous SM review for them to compare with. I think I've pitched them low to be safer, but u never know. A nice number of risers tho and Remi Oudin not far away, could rise to 87 squad Cap if % improves. The 7th position now helps them but could go against them with only 2 points covering a lot of positions behind them in the table.Interesting to see where it is next time but I have pitched low in anticipation. Your support is greatly appreciated and your interest is why I'm pushing hard to get U as big a picture for the reviews as possible.

Hard call, both are young, both plays in good but not great team, both are doing a great season. And they have different positions Zaniolo is rated 88 and should have a +1, or +2 because he's hyped and he is doing really well (4 goals and an assist in the last 4 matches), he can cover more position in SM: M(C) AM(RLC) Tielemans became a key player in Leicester and should have a +1, going to 90. Is a coin flip, I know more Zaniolo, so I may go with the Italian

Thanks @zsp2 @TMCosta @Milanista1 I have decide to keep both Musso and livakovic. I sold Bonifazi to make room as I think I am better to see how the two keepers develop and Centre backs are easier to find than stickmen.

Mason Greenwood at 73 will no doubt get an early season rise if he starts a few of the early games.

Neymar has never been on the same level as Messi and Cr7, so he could not evolve so fast just to be part of a strong team scheme. VVD is by far the best defender in the world and one of the main reasons liverpool is champion of europe. I think it's okay for his accelerated evolution to be fair

Arguably the best RB in the game with great chance of rising within a week or so. I’d definitely not sell him especially for as low as 35.5 million

It'll take more than a post on a football manager forum to offend me

90% for me (32 M transfer)

The United prediction needs to be revisited.

Those Ajax boys really need their ratings reviewed at the end of the season again.

The ability to loan out players is based on their rating, not position. Your chairman will not allow you to loan out any of your top 23 players (approx) on your squad based on their rating. Go to your squad page, sort by rating, (highest to lowest), and count own the list 23 or so players. Those are the ones, and those rated lower, who you should be able to loan out.

top 3 done

Depends on the other player. Kante might well have peaked at 94, but Saul is a couple of years away from getting the same rating, if he does. Of the two, ratings aside, I think Kante is the better player. No chance. Just gone up and Juve are running away with the league, half of the Juventus side will get rises, there's no reason for Pjanic to drop.

Too much of a gamble for me! Plenty of Barca youth talents never really amount to much Definitely duo Havertz is the better prospect there. For me that depends on what else you could get for your 30m. I'd say Pintor, but that may be because forwards always seem like better prospects. It's looking like he might make the first team before Centelles as well. Get Alcacer.

They’ve gone a bit overboard with the Liverpool ratings. Van Dijk 92 would have been satisfactory plus not sure what Salah got the 95 for. The defender rising from 91-93 but SM don’t rise likes of Alba, Kimmich, Koulibaly etc for long periods of time. Kimmich is one of Bayern’s best players. Just goes to prove that Soccer Manager believes the English Premiership to be the best in the world.

He's recently been brilliant for Chelsea whenever I've watched him play, that goes for most of their players. Albeit (I'm sure you are aware) he would be a very good short term option at RB. I really like what F.Lampard has done with Chelsea, you can see that the players are happy and Chelsea are doing well. From now If L. Martinez starts to play primarily in Midfield for Ajax then it would make sense for him to have the midfield position added to his current CB/LB role, rather than losing anything. His versatility is one of the many reasons why Ajax bought him in the first place. Our own A.Romagnoli has not played at LB for well over a season, but yet he can still operate as a LB on SM: https://en.soccerwiki.org/player.php?pid=64154

Are you insane? Keep Mbappe as long as SM lives

Van Dijk Koulibaly Umtiti De Ligt

Van Dijk. Higher ceiling at Liverpool, and should rise to 94 end of season. Koulibaly won't rise anymore unless he moves, or Napoli win the league (not happening)

No problem...ill do this today Fabio Duarte dont know him...Maximiliano have a big reputation...i bought him for my teams Outside the 3 big clubs (and yes...Napoli will sell him to 1 of them problably in the end of the season) he is clearly the best striker... Yep i think so Hehehe End of the line now: Denmark, Greece, Scotland, Japan

How can you have an issue with Icardi being rated 93? He's a goal machine, it's been a long time coming.
