I have a cup game coming up against division 1 opponent with 90 average rating while my team's average rating is 85. I was thinking of playing Very Defensive Counter attack. Does this work?? Or is there any other potentially good tactics against big teams? Yes, I've won few times against teams higher rated than me using very defensive tactics. But my best win was against team 3 rating higher than me. I guess the only way to "win" against team 5 rating higher than you is play very defensive and hope to get 0-0 and win in penalties.

topofthebilly 212 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 Thank you guys for assisting me with the tough choices Selling Holgate was a given . The others are more difficult . I will only focus on buying Dest right now . Then , later on I can maybe sell my Tarkowski and with the funds try and get Caleta-Car . We all know that Tarkowski deserves a higher than 88 rating , but since he is not playing for Aston Villa he is not getting the 90 any time soon I'm afraid . 🤐 Sir Rahul 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually possible. 11 goals and 7 assists last season. Could get 84. SM were generous with Zagreb last year: Petkovic got +3, Orsic got +4. 1 hour ago, Nameless said: Hateboer, Hermoso or Dumfries?

Milanista1 1,460 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 🤔 I re-post and edit just for the Liverpool fans: @Liverpool Fans. Whatever happened to the class of 1993, the likes of: John Flanagan, Jack Robinson (Liverpool's second youngest debuten), and Andre Wisdom? Were these 3 never really good enough in your opinion? I'm sure you'd agree that Trent Alex Arnold, Andrew Robertson and Joe Gomez are quite a different class. We'll, 🤔 that's 7 they aren't caught out playing a constant high-line, without really wanting 2 press the opposion = Lazypool (anyone?). 😅 😇 crvena_zvezda and Kieran_S91 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been waiting on Sinaly Diomande. Co-incidentally I hope to Spreadsheet Lyon and Sinaly Diomande this very afternoon if time allows and will upload here when done in response to this post. There are more tables throughout and as promised, here on Jaybee's thread on Players to watch 20/21 page 4 and 4th post down is the Spreadsheet for Lyon also with Diomande:- https://forum.soccermanager.com/topic/170999-players-to-watch-202021/page/4/?tab=comments#comment-3242612 Also on there is a description on the post as to why Low rated players with very few minutes are more consistent, taking the example of Diomande with only 86minutes. jaybee and Spiller2020 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mwahahaha 3 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 I had a bug in a Gameworld where a player developed level 5 concerns out on loan. Next season was automatically transfer listed and an external team bid. I bid a bit higher but my bid was rejected and the players concern level was level 1 when I looked at the profile. Of course no bug was found when I reported it. 😕 Never seen it happen before in my years of playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably average 89 rated. What was surprising to me is that my team got 8 corners compared to their 2 and 8 shots compared to 9 shots of theirs. It wasn't one sided as I expected it to be.

I had a similar thing happen in my game world. a team had a bid accepted on level 5 player, then the team that won the bid ran out of cash coz it took so long to go through (people constantly changing the amount of their bids)so he ended up getting the player back in his squad and no concerns at all!

Hrodulf 99 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 Finally SM mentioned a corner in the game notes: "The ball deflects out for a corner to Internazionale.Valero crosses the ball into the box.Wagner has an attempt at goal.

Good investment! SM rating - 73 Value - 300k Tonked by France but a close loss v Germany and a win over Spain. He's played 270 minutes at senior international in a week and those last two are nice results. Ukraine has just been reviewed though, I think, which is a shame.

I can only recommend that you attack through the middle (his weakest area) and play with a fast tempo - for only the first 45 minutes, ey, it's worth a shot. 😀 And, is there no other decent Goalkeeper available? Adrian was impressive at the beginning of last season, but since then he's just not been good enough: a hazard waiting to happen - a bit like DDG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! 🤗 If these new players are not named in the your GW database (new players section), then go on to your account setting - select the calender like icon (highlighted in blue in image below) - Load Data Pack - select a data pack - click Load - now see if you can view the player's with their actual names. I myself have to load a new data pack regulary as I get a new player with only their number (no name).

Adrian was impressive at the beginning of last season, but since then he's just not been good enough: a hazard waiting to happen - a bit like DDG. Didn't know that he would field weak CBs. I got Adrian as an free agent. Definitely gonna replace him with another GK after his transfer ban is over. The league is very competitive and players are expensive. So getting a good GK for reasonable price would be really tough. Btw, I rarely play fast tempo and whenever I play it I don't get enough possession, so I prefer the slow tempo. Any other advantage for playing fast tempo over slow tempo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCLVikerz 115 Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 @Ajay Not all out defense enough! Chelsea is my friend's 90-rated team (weakest among managed team in my GW). His team is full of concern thanks to the previous manager and Chelsea AI bought players when there is no manager. Yet, he could win WC Shield in his first season with his very-defensive tactics. He used 5-4-1/5-3-2 very defensive against stronger teams. He almost got me too in WC Cup! Barcelona is 93-rated, Lazio is 94-rated, and mine is 92-rated Lowco and Ajay 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
