LetsNotScoreGoals Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I don't pay attention to height but I realised I've bought a Brazilian midget. He's only 161cm short and has a paltry jumping rich of 3. He's a wonderkid defender and is turning in good performances and I am wondering if this even matters at all.

DementedHammer Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 What's his jumping reach? I'm pretty sure that has more impact within the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footix Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 As long as he's not a central defender I wouldn't think it mattered too much? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Sell him, I hate short players (Messi says hi) Seriously though, short full backs are a problem, a lot of regens are short I'd guess if his mentals are all solid he could outmaneuver taller players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasilia88 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Sell him to buy 3 more wonderkids... This game taught me one thing and that's not to get attached to your players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marabak Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 To put 161cm into context, I considered Mascherano a short central defender and he was 174cm tall. I'd definitely not bother with him at CB, but potentially he could be retrained in a different role, maybe a BWM etc. (like Kante, who is only 168cm) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger666 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 There's a big problem with jumping reach in regens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I was looking for two fullbacks last night, 11 years in so regen time & they're all 5 6" - 5 7". It's no wonder so many far post headers are scored Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanMilly Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Depending on his stats, I'd retrain him elsewhere - fullback or DM/CM as a BWM/DLP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no wonder so many far post headers are scored Yeah I'm looking at my squad now and it turns out everyone's on the short side. I've got a regen at 1.98 cm but he's an outlier lol. Here are his stats: He's not perfect right now but he's only 19 and I've only had him for half a season. 2 hours ago, JordanMillward_1 said: Depending on his stats, I'd retrain him elsewhere - fullback or DM/CM as a BWM/DLP. He can certainly play DM/CM but I don't need bodies there now :P I have too many MC's, I had to move a couple of DM's down to CD's. I play 4-4-2.

He does some insane assists, booting the balls straight from our side for a tidy goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstrikuuu Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I basically want tall players at striker, centerback, and if possible on one wing. I'm willing to tolerate shorter players on one wing, in two of my three central midfield positions and at fullback if I have to. Strikers who're less than 6'0 go straight in the bin.

Geordieboy52 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 He's the type of leftback no one likes playing against. Great tackler, brave and fast, he's gonna be a star! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstrikuuu Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Meanwhile I'd actually kind of love to play against him since my right winger is 6'2/187cm and really good in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp_87 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 As with most things it is all about the trade off. Personally I'd be saying that I expect my team to dominate most games, boss them with circa 70% of the ball, and therefore back that he'd have more good moments and contributions than the odd occasion when the lack of height/aerial prowess was exploited. But that's just how I see it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbrahimAliMaher Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'm struggling to find CBs with good jumping reach in 2029. There's also a dearth of defenders and defensive MF with decent levels of aggression too, need to find a way to angry them up a bit I had a young CB I inherited with jumping reach of 8. At the time he was rated as my best defender, possibly best player full stop. I got bids of £20m+ from bigger clubs but held them off as they didn't meet his min fee release clause. Retrained him as a midfield anchor man, turned out he was equally crap there too. Flogged him to a Spanish team for £8-9m in the end, very disappointing!
