The grades system is a really nice addition and they feel quite accurate
Well you need to put sunglasses on when playing in snow...
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that when fixing the dark mode they actually made these buttons more or less invisible?
this was the worst penalty shootout ive seen
Managed the clinch the title with a 93rd minute equaliser!
3-0 from 3 shots on target against Man City's 32 shots at goal and 13 on target
How it feels waiting two more weeks for FM20
Just so you know, Man City are pretty good
As a Milan fan since I was a little boy, I can say that fm is realistic as hell ahahah Milan is a joke :(

Most interesting "Moneyball" find so far

Posted: 06 Nov 2019 09:02 PM PST

I've spent the majority of my first season at Watford in FM20 trying to set up a painfully in depth scouting system with custom views and filters galore to try and tease out the statistically best players in the game, for the best value. For anyone not super familiar with "Moneyball" the long story short version is that it is the use of statistical analysis of players to identify high ability, low cost players. Kante to Leicester is probably the best example of this.

The following filters apply to all positions on the pitch:

Minimum of 10 appearances
Age is between 15 and 29
"Division is at least" For this you have to manually select each division per country, per search. For example "division is a minimum of "Liga2 Ledman", the 2nd tier of Portuguese football. This will only show players from that league or above, in Portugal. This is why you have to do it for each nation one at a time.

Other filters are role specific

In this example I'm looking for Central/Defensive midfielders and so I've also filtered by maximum of 15 mistakes made.
Minimum of 80% pass completion
There is a huge amount of information I've not included such as the view columns and other factors but literally no one would read any of this if it was THAT long, already taking the piss a bit with this size of a post.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So anyway I've stumbled across a very interesting player from the second division of Portugal, who plays for a team called Clube Desportivo Mafra. Here is how my man measures up compared to every other central midfield player in Portugal who met the same criteria as listed above. My man does not have the worlds most interesting attributes, he uses only his left foot and he doesn't even have a single PPM but the following stats decidedly set him apart from his piers in the top 2 tiers of Portugal.

An interesting find for sure, a player hugely over performing but is it worth the gamble on such an unimpressive looking player with an unremarkable career? Waste of money? Waste of time? Not suitable for the Premier League?

Probably worth a punt when he costs £14,750 and comes in at hefty £4,000 a week wages. This guy is my first promising punt on a moneyball signing and I'm pretty excited to see how he gets on in the premier league. Tha

Summary of major issues with FM 2020 Match Engine

Posted: 06 Nov 2019 05:50 AM PST

Here is a summary of major issues with current match engine (Someone posted this in the official SI forums).

Long balls over the top from CBs and FBs too deadly and accurate.
Too many one on ones and it's very easy to create them.
Wingers/wide players not crossing when you want them to. Crossing is toned down too much for every player.
Wingers/wide players not dribbling when you want them to. Dribbling is toned down too much for every player.
Long shots from all over the place. Players are shooting from all angles ignoring better passing options.
Long shots too accurate and overpowered. Worldies every other game. Too easy to score long range shots.
AMR/AML staying too narrow in the final third. Try creating Sane and Sterling movement in the final third. It won't happen because you can't ask your wingers/inverted wingers to stay wide in the final third and stretch the opposition. Pep will be devastated.
High pressing on high mentality too effective. Clubs in the relegation zone or clubs in the third division- anyone can Klopp style gengenpress their way to the top.
Constant switching of play and long cross-field passes regardless of tactical instructions. All full backs have Beckham style passing abilities. They can hit perfect 500 yard cross-field passes with razor sharp accuracy.
Wingers/wide players shooting into side netting instead of crossing/squaring the ball. Wingers will beat their man, reach the byline and the for some reason shoot from impossible angle instead of crossing or squaring the ball.

Basically in its current state, the match engine is playing like an arcade style engine rather than a simulation engine with same patterns being repeated in every save.
