player cannot reach potential?


Recommended Posts

Hi

I have 4-4.5 star coaches and am playing in the CH as Gillingham. My star right back, looked him up on FM Scout, he's a regen, has 174 PA. He's currently on 137 CA. I have adequate training facilities because I haven't had the cash to buy new ones and only have 1.3m in the bank. The problem for me is he is not improving any more and hasn't for ages, he was the same stats as last season and I am midway through this season.

Do adequate facilities hold back players from reaching above a certain level?

Whats the lads personality? I had Jack Butland who didn't increase his stats for a season with me until I had him tutored by a senior keeper, once he changed his mindset his stats rocketed. Have a read through Cleons Ajax thread, this goes a long way to developing players further and quicker.

The wonders of fm scout. Quite often players dont reach anywhere near there PA. FM scout really should only be used as a rough guide for people who dont trust the in game scouts. Obviously in older FM's people would use it for all sorts, like knowing exactly how much to bid for someone etc....now its pretty useless these days but its still a good guide if you dont consider it cheating an can live with yourself lol!

Like previous poster mentioned. Lots of factors need to be taken into account. Just because the genie scout says his PA is 170 for example does not mean he will reach it. He needs other attributes like determination etc....consider mentors or looking for those stats before signing. Like stated though not all players will reach there PA or get anywhere near it.

How much first team play does he get?

He plays almost every game and has done since he was 16 in League 2, main reason is he has 17 pace and 17 acceleration and 15 dribbling and 13 flair :D. I have trained him to accomplished at Attacking Midfielder Right. I am just annoyed I can't get his crossing stat to go above 9 and his creativity and off the ball sucks. 93 appearances in 2 and a half years.

And yes, my manager name is George Galloway :D

Yeah will struggle to improve beyond the level he's at if he's in the Championship. He may get a bit better as he's still only 19 and has scope to grow, but I think he needs to be playing at a higher level.
