How do we get to know why these seemingly random drop in values happen ?

It can’t be just random undocumented drops since that would be no fun for noone . There must be an intention , right ?

Asking because i see so many players dropping after a rise lately .

Another example . conrad de la fuente . Value was 400k before rise . Got a rise from 68 to 73 . Value became 700k (if i remember correctly) . Now today his value is .... 400k . Losing money buying the right players . This can’t be neither right nor fun for any self respecting manager now can it .

 

Surely there must be someone here who has a connection to the devs ?

Hi topofthebilly,I toatally agree with u! I have probably been the harshest critic of SM on this forum for probably the last 8 years.

I have had many issues with SM and their attitude has always been as follows:-

1: Ignore the critics and ignore the forum. We once had right here, on the forum, a form of polling where forumer's could vote on any issue they wanted to. A forum member, any member, could put up a question and with a click make it a poll of members. Many times the forum made it clear they didn't want this and that was no good, sometimes like 80 voted and all but 2 disliked what SM had done 78-2. After a number of polls SM closed down the polling feature.

Many left on this issue alone after SM closed it down. BTW SM just closed it down, they didn't even tell us they were closing it. They were still "advertising" that such as they, SM and Swiki were community based.

2: SM Attitude: For the last appx 8 years SM have been bringing in measures that penalised what I call "Scouting Managers" who buy and sell to raise cash. Many tiny changes were made over the years, to help managers that basically were not much good. I can understand that they would want to keep their customers.

I've forgotten most of them but much larger Cash payments at seasons end and getting rid of new 10k players who would rise are a couple. These 10k players were too obvious to us and not to poorly informed managers. So they now have a much more "Level Playing Field".  OK I accepted all that but there have been many "clever" little tweaks in the years gone by and what U have said is probably the latest one as "poorer mangers" wouldn't have bought them.. 

So what u say about someone connecting to devs is unlikely to work as it's probably instigated by the top men anyway.

3: Never Trust SM when they say they are going to "Improve" things or for the community. Almost all SM improvements have been the opposite, including what Invision have done to our Forum...

Anyway I'm still Socca- Happy and not SAD so please don't "Shoot the Messenger" with a sad "Icon" please just bringing the facts as I see them 😃😀😄

Luis Henrique (18) is on the verge of a €10 million transfer to Marseille from Botafogo.

Medical on Wednesday

https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2020/marseille-to-sign-luis-henrique-from-botafogo-for-e10m/
 

Exciting transfer, he’s a known talent on the forum.

SM rating - 73

Value - 1 million

[Far Post 20]

Bit unsure what to do with Guendouzi. Arteta has now reintegrated him into Arsenals training and his 88 rating should be safe for the time being. 

Selling him however could free up some funds for strengthening. 

Keep or sell?

I would keep for a few weeks (Transfer Window) to see if he moves on to a BIG Club or gets to play more... then sell if still same situation, Far Post.

Hi, Which side of this deal would you opt for and why?

Angel Correa & Alex Grimaldo or Stefan De Vrij 

Thanks 😁

Duo depending on what positions you need and if De Vrij will become your best CB.

Sell especially if there are better options in your game world.

Any cheap RB or LB that are going to rise to 86/87/88 soon? 

i currently have 2 82 rated players playing RB and LB but they are not good enough for the division but i don't have a lot of cash either

Was watching Brighton away against Newcastle & they were clear winners 0-3 with another incredible performance by Tariq Lamptey. 

He was fouled time and time again but that didn't stop him from being MOM even after having to be "Kicked" off the pitch by  about 60mins. Brilliant play by him. He could turn into another Alphonso Davies with exceptional speed and control, he attacks and defends equally well.

Ohhh and Ben White was supreme as usual in everything he did. I could cry that Brighton had the sense not to accept Leeds 25million bid! Will definitely play for his country and eventually a really BIG CLUB, just a question of when? He played every minute of a championship season for Leeds and helped us NIL a lot of opponents, which he obviously did again this afternoon. Leeds United miss him so much and have conceded 7 goals in 180minutes so far.

BOTH PLAYERS are must buys and have been for a long time. If either are available buy now even at max SM Price it's a "steal".

See above BUY both if they are available even tho both are on right. You could sell one in future if need cash but better to keep both.

Santos Dodo - 83 -> 85 has a chance at 86, this should happen soon.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - 83 -> 85 has a chance at 86 also.

The problem we have is we don’t know which league is next, Ive got a starting XI top risers post coming out in a couple of days and this focuses on Austria, Russia and Ukraine who have long overdue reviews.

I was going to do each country separate, but decided to do them all together because the players I outlined will probably get random reviews.

Players for the future in let’s say December if they don’t get random reviews: Tyler Adams and Tariq Lamptey.

Dodo already taken and i have Mykolenko as well but seems like i've been waiting for ever for him to have his rise

I’ve added additional information, Tariq Lamptey and Tyler Adams but I think you will be waiting longer unless they get random reviews.

Those 2 probably going to be out of reach for me, Lamptey is TB'd till November which by the time i'll be in the red which rules out Tyler Adams completely 

Would be ok if the american review got started, have a tonne of players waiting for rises to make a profit on

What about Alexis Saelemaekers (83) or James Justin (83) could both rise to 85+ in a few months.

Cant think of any apart from Dodo and Mykolenko who are overdue a rise.

Again, late to the party but Tyrick Mitchell added who is starting for Palace now.

Jimmy Dunne is also on there, having started for Burnley yesterday too.

Good shouts, expect Dunne to get some gametime this season as Burnley's squad is pretty thin

Kieran has said it all - I saw your post on Lamptey but for me he's the most likely to hit 87 this season, been immense for Brighton so far.

Josko Gvardiol

Club - Dinamo Zagreb

Age - 18

Position - CB

Nationality - Croatian

Gvardiol is a relatively well known player who has interested a lot of top clubs around Europe.

Josko is a centre half who is very comfortable in possession and already has great knowledge of the game.

Highlights below:

Gvardiol will become a Croatian senior international in years to come that I am sure but I think the next step of his progression is to keep gaining first team football.

Very expensive and hyped in SM but definitely worth the price.

SM rating - 73

Value - 1 million

Joško Gvardiol (18) will join Leipzig in January 2021 at the earliest.

According to Bild, it looks as if Leipzig see Gvardiol as Upamecano’s replacement.

Already a MUST BUY but even more so now.

Perhaps this is SM doing as u say "random undocumented drops"

Also Daniel James Valuation of 10m now down to 8M and as proof I didn't imagine it (from spreadsheet):- 

Daniel James Man Utd 3rd -4.4% 1 88 0 £10.00
