GDH38 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Have any of you seen any high-profile players fall dramatically from grace in your saves? I ask because I've just spotted this - http://i.imgur.com/H4jHfya.png It seems that in the 2017/18 season he got two long-term injuries, and never recovered. He couldn't even get a regular starting spot at Leicester in the Championship! Now been released by Leicester. Absolutely crazy. Anyone else seen anything like this?

Karnack Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm also interested in this because I think it might occur far too little. I never see it. In this case it was actually injuries that made him fall from grace, but does it ever happen that a big player simply don't perform in his new team? IRL examples: Fernando Torres from Liverpool to Chelsea Verón from Lazio to Man U Kaka from Milan to RM Does these sort of flops ever happen in FM? I've never had an issue where I just can't get my signings to work unless they are injured or getting old (calculated risk). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Andrea Pirlo went to Liverpool on a free after finishing at Juve in my current save. <edit> He's yet to make a single appearance and has been placed in the under 21's... Perhaps he's just a big Merseybeat fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWERTYOP Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Wayne Rooney. And I'm at Manchester United. Tolerated him for a season where he scored something like 4 goals. Flogged him to Spurs for £7m, now lucky if he gets on the bench for them (season 4). Didn't score a single goal in season 3. Absolutely finished.

lusignang Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think the games got something against Rooney because he crashed and burned in my save as well. Nowhere near the England team after season 2 and spent the rest of his career at Monaco after falling out with LVG due to lack of playing time.

Nowhere near the England team after season 2 and spent the rest of his career at Monaco after falling out with LVG due to lack of playing time. I think he starts the game "finished". Certainly as a very top end, Champions League level talent. Useless. Especially for the ridiculous money he starts on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWERTYOP Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Six league goals since I started my save... SIX!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brod Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 He didn't make the England 2018 squad in my save and is in the Man Utd U21 squad. He is 32 by then though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDH38 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 On another save (where I have admittedly been playing with the financial state of Premier League clubs), he's 35 years old, at League 1 Bradford on 4k a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr_7 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Sergio Aguero in my Real Madrid save is suffering from Radamel Falcaolitis. 6 League goals all season so far with a month to go. Glad my wingers (Ronaldo and Bale) are chipping in I'm also interested in this because I think it might occur far too little.

Karnack Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm glad to hear (sorry for you) that it happens! Increases the realism very much indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenevo Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Wayne Rooney for me and apparently it's a regular occurrence in FM15 saves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
