Just noticed this thread has crossed 1 million views, 23k odd replies, 930 pages. I know this is 3 and a half years old but I never intended for this to monopolise the forum back then (I would have thought of a better name otherwise!) Glad to have this as a space for all managers to come. Although I didn't know it at the time, the forum had regressed too much to have multiple threads, individual league threads. At a certain point the quality got spread out, coupled with the forum interface update a lot of the big guys left. I think this has helped keep the forum alive, and I'm

I was bored so made random memes related to SM and rating changes 😂, sorry for the spam but hope you guys like it 😛

I have just received my Vaccination Appointment for tomorrow afternoon - Yippeeeee!! 😀

Not my place to tell but you are spamming this thread with absolute unnecessary pictures/comments. It consumes time to actually find questions and answers to questions. For whatever reason you are trying very very hard.

Random collection of 250 RISERS Its been a long road compiling this list but something I’ve really enjoyed trying to do so here goes. There are a few Dutch, Portugal, Championship and Brazilian players in this list that might change in the future with their reviews being a few months off. 1. Lamine Gueye - 78 -> 82 (Metz) 2. Mahdi Camara - 80 -> 84 (St.Etienne) 3. Facundo Medina - 82 -> 85 (Lens) 4. Nuno Mendes - 78 -> 82 (Sporting CP) 5. Jamal Musiala - 73 -> 80 (Bayern Munich) 6. Aaron Hickey - 78 -> 82 (Bologna) 7. Giovanni Reyna - 80 -> 85 (D

I was in the process of doing a list of risers who I think have a chance of rising, should be some cheap options here. I must stress that it’s still early stages in different leagues and these predictions can alter. Lamine Gueye is a projection, he’s only played twice for Metz but has recently joined, I see him being a regular for Metz in the future that’s why I predicted a +2. This also applies to some other players on the list. I will be adding to this list in the future too. Random selection of 100 risers in their leagues review Lamine Gueye - 78 -> 80 (

Potentially good news on this. Today I heard that SM has asked some long standing users to join a group with them and work on ideas and updates for the game. So there could be changes coming. What and when I don't know. But wheels are in motion apparently.

Thanks for your kind thoughts Hooch yes I have been very poorly for some time but am definitely recovering now. I havent been tested tho as NHS said to hang on as long as i could & that was more than 2 week ago. I'm left fatigued but definitely improving. Socca is very happy to feel as good as this today. Cheers Hooch See below Sir It's France all right, many players from maybe 8 or 9 clubs on Swiki as I just checked BUT each club NOT having as many at the moment as a usual full France Review. So it might be a light one ie not all players are reviewed, that will co

Thank U for your very kind wishes in response to my appointment for vaccination, very much appreciated. An early update on having it yesterday mid-afternoon is 1) it wasn't painful at all, 2) I don't seem to be reacting as yet in any way at all, about 20hours later. I am actually hoping I do get a reaction of some sort to show my immune system is responding to it but nothing yet. Hopefully some good news, I am going to start adapting my Spreadsheet BIG5, starting with France which has moved from 11games onto 24 games since their last "minor review date". I always update between, where it

Scotland obviously

Top 50 French 21yo or under Was going to do Toulouse to finish off France this afternoon, but of course Toulouse were relegated. So instead here you have the Top 50 French 21yo's or Under (Based purely on the safety rating rather than talent etc) which co-incidentally came to about the +10% safety rating which was really good the way it happened. Was very time consuming to do the way I did it, but in future I think I'll try a different, hopefully quicker way. Quite a number older than 21 in the French clubs which would have been interesting but would have been too large to uploa

Hi guys 👋 I’ve added 50 more players to my original list of 100 random selection of risers, hoping to get this list up to 250 before the big 5 get reviewed but I’m running out of time so though I would share the next 50 just in case. I found this as a little fun thing to do in my spare time just adding random players here and there 😊 I will also be doing a starting 11 full of risers for each of the big 5, the starting 11 will be full of players I think who will rise the most and in some cases have good potential. These players will be between 75-85 in rating. Lamine G

Hi fellow forum members, I've decided to set up my own thread consisting of young English prospects currently based in England/UK and overseas. You guys know how vocal I have been recommending players from England recently with reports from a number of players including Jamal Musiala, James Balagizi, Liam Delap, Darko Gyabi, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens among others. Many talents especially from the elite clubs in England aren't currently in SM but just like the list of 50 players posted earlier on in the year (Will add the links to this thread) they are players to seriously watch out fo

Southampton trolling Donald Trump, if you know you know 😂

Hello everybody! As some of you know, I have been silent with my predictions lately, but I have been preparing for a big project that I want to launch on this forum. In the following days, I will create a new thread (sorry Sir Rahul), where I will keep track of the main Football Leagues worldwide, with regular reviews (2 or 3 times per year for the main leagues, and just once for the other leagues, at their end), and a schedule of previous reviews and expected ones. I have usually followed SM schedule to make my predictions, but considering that it is becoming increasingly unreliable, I w

Roll up, roll up! It's the MLS Bargain Bucket. Who knows if the MLS will get reviewed sometime this decade, but here's a nice list of cheap players for anyone on a tiny budget: (Name, Age, Minutes played, SM rating, SM value) < £100k C. Gasper 24 1170 67 £36,000 A. Gutman 23 631 67 £36,000 N. DePuy 25 630 70 £70,000 H. Dotson 23 884 70 £80,000

Messi furious that SM gave him a -1, now wants to leave Barcelona!

While you learned gentlemen studiously toil away on divining future player ratings, I am in my secret underground lab working on formation evaluations. I have taken a Division 1 team in five separate Game Worlds. During the pre-season I bought and sold players so that each roster is filled only with 90-rated players. I picked five different formations (442A, 433A, 532, 451A, 422B) and these teams will play the entire season using the same formation I assigned them. I will record win-loss-draws; home and away; league or cup; players form; opponents’ formations and tactics; managed or un-m

I thought I'd start this thread in terms of players to watch in Ligue 1 this season. It is mainly under 21 players or low rated players who are playing and could get reasonable rises. I will aim to update after each game week. I will only add players once they have actually played this season. Feel free to suggest other players who are over the age of 21 but low rated. The promoted teams like Lorient and Lens have players to watch for such as La Fee and Medina in particular who are both highly thought of. Gouiri one in particular to watch as was rated highly when came through at Lyon. He'

SWIKI REPORT (03/12/20) Hi guys a very similar day today as yesterday on soccer wiki. 13 and half pages mainly of Uruguay, Mexico, Japan and China.

After 3 clubs edited yesterday SWIKI have slowed today SIR and edited only 1 club Rosario Central (9th) at this rate a week plus 2 days to go on SWIKI. Should speed up again they have plenty to do Lodi just Omba! Either are good Inspiron but I like Mancini slightly more. YES Selfishro I play De Jong at CB, on Left alongside Marcelo and unexpectedly he's scored 6 goals! Think out of about a dozen or so games, No rhyme or reason to that I can understand but YES. I will play him there IF or until SM takes CB away Don't look at top of post then please Kurt as don't

The year is 2872, England have just won their 27th World Cup, Hereford United have just become Premier League champions and the SM Argentina review is still going on.....

Jeremy is now Nick Latest Part Updates for Portugal, Holland and some interesting BIG 5 updates from Celta Viga and Monchengladbak Below:- Remember this is my first spreadsheet predictions for Portugal Holland so the accuracy is unlikely to be as good as BIG5 predictions. I have to find SM's 0%Line and adjust for the next review. Hopefully my estimation, won't be critically out this first time.
