Also powello could you show us levitt by any chance? 4* rating in that team seems to me you've probably improved him more than people give chance. Interesting to see how you both smashed it and see the true potential of our youth players on FM given the first team chances, you 2 noticed any of our youth players bottling it? as in the type of games jesse has been having this season lolĀ Yeah sure, here you go Well I don't have any 27 year old "Youth" players really hahaha, but in all seriousness, for me it's probably Gomes, he was doing alright first couple of seasons, but now Traore has smashed it and taken his place, I'm now at the point where I am considering selling him. He refused to go on loan saying hes too good for that, yet he doesn't perform when I give him a chance. ANd my tactic don't really allow both him and Traore to play at the same time. So I'm undecided what to do. There's no way I am changing my approach just to fit him in. There is huge potential with many of the youth players, not all are great or can turn great but many of them can. And the youth set up is fantastic so you get quite a few coming in Edited April 28, 2020 by Powello Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increase that flair and dribbling and he could be amazing, does he play CM or in your AMCR/L spot?Ā I guess that's because of his mentality, doesn't go high enough for my liking, he's been the same past few FM versions, since 16 or 17 I believe. What are the roles in your AMC spots? could always try him as a treq cause his off the ball is usually good guessing he's on 15-17 on yours atm. keep him in pre season, play vs large teams and see if you can accomodate him in, that's how I usually do it and if he doesn't work then I sell them, shame cause I really like him irl and on fm but he's so on and off.Ā Agreed, just barely people give them a full team chance simply cause they find better, seeing them fulfil their potential is quite good to seeĀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomes's OTB on mine is a paltry 13, It doesn't seem to improve with training either as I have tried to get it up. I tried him at AMC with different roles, he was terrible in all of them, so I put him out to AML and he had a pretty good time out there, hejust wasn't as good as Traore out there, and now Ramazani and Elanga have moved ahead of him, although he does still get chances as he had a good pre season. This season is his last chance, if I don't see enough from him to convince me he deserves at least a place as an impact sub then he's gone next summer, and I don't want to have to do that. But this is a short challenge and I need players who perform if I am going to complete it. Doing this challenge has made me appreciate youth development a lot more, I used to just give a few who had 5 star potential a chance and either sell the others or let their contracts run out, or they just stayed in the reserves their whoe careers lolĀ Although playing against City after they have bought Haaland and Mbappe, I do get a bit jealous lol 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powello Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) EYD Challenge Take 2 Season 4 Review It was a fun but hard season, but we improved on the previous one and which was promising for the final 2 seasons of this challenge. I was expecting more improvement once again but it turned out to be a season of ups and downs and struggles. To cut the story short we didn't improve, but didn't really do worse either. I completely forgot to screenshot the youth intake, well I did but my laptop crashed when I was updating drivers and when I reloaded it I completely forgot to do it again lol. But there was only 3 players that have a chance of having a future going by the initial judgements. Domestic Cups Carabao Cup -lost to Villa in the third round FA Cup -Lost to Southampton in the 5th Round Premier League Only just about kept the 4th spot on the final day of the season. We just had to not lose against Bristol City and it was ours, we won 6-1 Champions League Didn't top the group this time, but we did smash PSG 6-1which was nice And for the second year in a row, we faced Barcelona in the First Round Knockout. And once again, they knocked us out. It was close over the 2 legs but their class shone through in the end. Ā Ā Ā Ā Squad Stats Greenwood had a battle on his hands for top scorer this time, the regen Hattori has really advanced in his development. Gomes is lucky this is the last season coming up or he would be going in the summer, if I could buy players he would definitely be replaced. He will be a fringe player as others in his position are way ahead of him, but he might get the odd game or 2 So we are left with one season to win both the league and the champions league to be able to complete the challenge, and as you saw earlier, that means we have to chop down Liverpools 21 point lead and somehow probably find a way past Barcelona lol. I do love a challenge! Edited April 28, 2020 by Powello 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try it for a while and I just couldn't find a way to get them to perform well enough with it. SO I guess that one needs a certain qulaity of player. To be fair you need quick, intelligent defenders, a solid midfield base and technical attack minded. These have some of that they just aren't at the right level yet. I may give it another go if my current tactic doesn't work, or just as a different option during the season. To be fair, I have changed tactics a few times on this save, nothing has lasted. On a side note, I have just seen a scout report of Bellingham, it's shocking to see he's stillĀ at Birmingham and hasn't developed at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, he is fantastic from the get go, he's just picked up a few injuries I am contemplating whether this is going to be my last version of fm for a while. The amount of goals conceded from set pieces is attrocious, I don't remember it ever being this bad on previous versions, and it's been bad for a while. And watching my defenders run alongside attackers and not trying to tackle them is another thing.... what else? hmmm... the usual players trying to be messi and running through the whole defence and shooting from stupid angles instead of passing.... literally doing about 15% of what I instruct them to do... The list goes on. It feels like SI have concentrated more on adding little things to make it more indepth and have neglected to work on the ME. Rant over sorry haha just frustrating to watch games Oh and it has nothing to do with my challenge, I think I will complete this time, will at least be very close anyway. I won one game 6-0 and I was still annoyed with what I was seeing, literally none of the goals came from what I instructed them to do, 1 of them was from Williams runnign all the way from the corner of our penalty area, past about 5 of their players and tapping it past the keeper, he went full me on fifa mode, but his intructions say, dribble less, cross more often,etc TIs also saying dribble less and work ball into the box... And t's not like he was on his own, 5 other players were available. I was just sat here screaming PASS THE ****ING BALL!!! hahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tummyowl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Finished my second season; won everything... League, ended up being a lower points to win it, however everyone other than Liverpool had dropped off significantly. Fortunate to beat Liverpool, they pushed right until the last 3/4 games. League Cup, fortunate to beat Liverpool. FA Cup, comfortable victory over Liverpool. Liverpool did not turn up at all, and had a couple of injuries. Europe, comfortable victory over Arsenal. I'll throw some screen shots up late, everyone played well this season. Pogba was excellent. Sheffield United were top five up until the final 10 or so matches were they completely fell apart, finishing 7th? Leeds and Forest were relegated (the latter being horrifically bad) and Newcastle! I'm tempted to try and move a defender on (maybe Maguire), as good as he has been there are better options out there (Pavard). Depending on finances, Mbappe, but that does mean I am stackedĀ up top. Maybe look at moving some of the younger players whom I do not feel will quite make it on, and might consider moving Shaw and Henderson on too. While Henderson played well in the cups, and made some league appearances... he is starting to think he should be first choice. De Gea is still a far superior keeper and Gasparini is not far behind Henderson with more potential (and they are both happy at the club). There are a couple of Chinese clubs sniffing around Lingard too, and looking at paying 50,000,000Ā£ for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tummyowl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) To sign Mbappe I would be looking to off load; Gomes (has done ~ok~ this season, but not impressed me), Chong (similarly done well but not impressed), and Lingard (has been excellent cover for either wing and chipped in with the odd goal or two). It still means I would have; Rashford, Greenwood, Martinez, Boadu, Stengs, Sancho, Mbappe. Rice, Bruno, Pogba, Louis, Garner, Bellingham, Hannibal. Wan-Bissaka, De Ligt,Ā Paard, Williams,Ā Laird, Mengi, Tuanzebe, la Vibora De Gea, Gasparini, + Promoted youth keeper.

Powello Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 EYD Challenge Take 2 Season 5 Review And so the challenge comes to the end. It's bee a long, fun andĀ at times annoying, journey. There have been ups and downs, progress and backwards steps. But are this squad good enough to hit the targets? Let's find out! Domestic Cups As these weren't a priority for this challenge, they were left to Phelan to manage and as he has done all throughout the seasons, failed to win any haha. This time we were knocked out in the thrid rounds of both by Arsenal and Newcastle. But who cares right? that's not why you read these updates Premier League Liverpool have dominated the league form the beggining of this save and last season finished 21 points ahead of us, so it was always going to be a difficult task to catch them up, they are miles ahead of us in squad quality and depth and it showed again. WE put up a great effort, but ultimately fell short once again. But at least we managed to cut that 21 point gap down to just 6 this time. The pressure of challenging on 2 forns and being expected to win both trophies took it's toll on the players and the amount of injuries didn't help either. It was very close between the top 5, any one could have won the title, but Liverpool are just too good with their impressive squad added to by a lot of amazing signings. Champions League We were handed a pretty easy group which we dominated, only surprise wasĀ Ath Madrid not progressing, seeing as they won it 2 seasons ago. That set us up with a battle against Dortmund un the 1st round knockout. Over the 2 legs they gave us a tough time of it, but we came through. You can see below how it went We were doing fantastic so far, winning every game. SO much better than I expected and we made it to the final, where we would face domestic rivals Arsenal. The first half was a test of who would break first, it was end to end but not many good chances were created by either team. At half time I tweaked the tactic a bit and gave them the hairdryer treatment and we came out a totally different team in the second half to record an amazing 3-1 victory Squad Stats So that brings the end of the Extreme Youth Development Challenge. It has been a fun 5 seasons, but unfortunatly we failed, only hitting one of the targets. I'm a little disappointed but at the same time, trying to beat this current Liverpool squad is, well bloody difficult lol.Ā I am very happy to have won the Champions League with this squad though, especially winning every match and setting a new record for longest winning run and goals scored.Ā Now what's next? well, I am really enjoying this save, I want to keep on going with it. There are some amazing youngsters who I really want to see develop. Here's just 3 examples Ā Ā So I think I will continue this save for a while and see if I can dominate like Liverpool have for the last 5 seasons Ā 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just see what you can do. It's a game, whats the worse that could happen? you could fail, so what I have twice now lol. It's fun trying it. I have attempted to recreate many real life tactics over the last few weeks, such as Dortmunds current one, Liverpools, Barcelona's 2012 one erc, but I have neglected our own ones. So for the coming seaosn I am attempting the 2007/2008 United tactics. There were tachnically 3 of them which is perfect for fm with 3 tactic slots, and really they are not much different from each other. I'm just not sure how I am going to get the fluid front 3 we had back then. On previous versions of FM you could have multiple players swapping with each other, on this one you can only have 2 swapping with each other which is annoying, so it's going ot have to be roles and PIs that kind of replicate the movement.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee_Simpson Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) @Powello Yeah recreations are good to try if you can pull it off. Would be interesting to see your take on the tactics Utd used that season, in particular the 4213 with the fluid front 3. I may try that EYD save after my regular save with Utd, but for now I want a nice easy save considering it's my first since FM13, the amount of things to do in the game now is quite overwhelming lol, I have no idea where to start. I think I will delegate quite a bit to my staff.Ā Edited April 29, 2020 by Gee_Simpson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try that EYD save after my regular save with Utd, but for now I want a nice easy save considering it's my first since FM13, the amount of things to do in the game is quite overwhelming lol, I have no idea where to start.Ā Once I have created it all and tested them, I will post them up YeahĀ fair enough, a lot has changed since 13, way more indepth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get ole but he was still manager of swansea I think it was, you just reminded me to have a look if hes available now Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may even add the rest of the leagues if it goes fast enough for this season thenĀ How long does it take you to get through a season?Ā My spec is pretty outdated; I have not updated since University. I also play on my MacBook Pro which is a few years old. Spoiler Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz Microsoft Windows 8 64-Bit Corsair Hydro H70 Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO x2 MSI GeForce GTX 980 Gaming Edition MSI Z77IA-E53 Intel Z77 Kingston HyperX Blu 16GB 1600MHz BitFenix Prodigy 'Tiger' Mini-ITX Cube Case - Orange/Black Corsair Builder Series CX 600w Modular I play slowly, as in I take ... hours and hours and hoursĀ just in pre season, seasons take me a long time to complete because I am always tinkering or doing something, however, the game plays fine on my system. The only difference is that I turn matches to 2D on my MacBook Pro, rather than director camera on my PC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than 17 and they don't get anywhere near my youth team lol I have offered him a contract as a first team coach though Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Ryan is my U23 manager. Working with youngsters is 20.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
