SI Staff Simon Tipple Posted November 23, 2020 SI Staff Share Posted November 23, 2020 Please post any data issues related to England's EFL League One here. As much of the data is subjective we’d ask that you respect everyone’s opinion and accept that the final decision is that of our club researchers and our heads of research. We also request you please adhere to the following three point plan when posting in the data topics: · State what you think is specifically wrong with a particular piece of data. · State what you think the data should be. · State reasons/proof for your suggested corrections/improvements. Please note that any non-data issues for England's EFL League One should be posted in the appropriate thread within the League Specific Issues forum. This would include issues such as league scheduling, league table sorting rules and match rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ8 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Just fired up a charlton save on the full game. Thanks for making the changes to the ownership and can even see some player upgrades like on Alfie Doughty. One problem is the player salaries have changed so that I now can't register the squad under the salary cap. One possible reason this has happened is that Alex Gilbey and Conor Washington were announced as signings after the salary cap cut off for players counting as the average league 1 wage but I believe they have been counted at the league 1 average as we actually signed them 2 weeks before and asked the EFLs permission to sign but as we were under embargo it was delayed by 2 weeks. Would like an urgent fix please as can't actually play as charlton if I can't register all our players! We are 4k over budget on the game but in real life we actually have around 2k a week spare Edited November 23, 2020 by DJ8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Dean Gripton Posted February 22, 2021 SI Staff Share Posted February 22, 2021 21.3.0 Winter Data Update. **SUNDERLAND** The takeover occurred after the data lock for the 21.3.0 update, unfortunately. However, it will be included in the next data update, which is planned for after the Russian and Chinese transfer windows (and others) close at the end of February. While I have the attention of Sunderland fans, we do require a new Sunderland FC researcher, as the previous one has had to leave the role.

Email scouting at sigames dot com if you are interested in that voluntary role. Lots of directorship changes announced today. Essentially it looks like the board should be: KLD as owner / chairman Igor Levin and Patrick Treuer as Directors Tom Sloanes and Dave Jones are still non-executive directors unless that's about to change (things moving quickly) Donald, Methven, Sartori and Rodwell have all left the club (the former 3 still retain minority shareholding but are no longer directors) Edited February 23, 2021 by Mr Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go with that myself mate, official websites are rarely updated by the actual club and are taken from out of date databases.

frosty Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Don’t know if I’m too late with these and if any use to be updated but a few Sunderland related things Lee Johnson has 3-5-2 set as his preferred formation and I’m assuming is causing Gooch and McGeady to be transfer listed when they are key first teamers and McGeady is the main outlet the team has to create chances, since taking over he has consistently played 4-3-3 or a pretty much 4-4-2 Josh baggs plays at right back for the u18s https://smiworld.co.uk/players/joshua-baggs jonathan krakue plays as either a cb or dm for the u18s Caden Kelly and Harry gardiner have also both signed to play for the u18s but the club haven’t announced either and no information seems to be available other than Kelly is a midfielder and gardiner a striker This article references Kelly signing https://www.footballflick.com/football-flick-meets-caden-kelly Gardiner is on this one And finally Dan Jones has to be younger than he is on the game as he’s played in the fa youth cup and wouldn’t be eligible using his game date of birth.

Clintabn Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Max Ehmer should have prefers to play on the right Alongside Ogilvie & Tucker for us, he has consistently played well playing as the RCB Whereas he struggled last year getting moved around Bristol Rovers' defence When I auto-pick my team or go on holiday it always puts Ehmer on the left & Tucker on the right, which isn't how they play in real life Gerald Sithole should have Zimbabwe as either his 1st or 2nd nationality, as that's where his family is from. I'm pretty sure he was born in England though. Robbie McKenzie should have avoids weaker foot, due to injuries, suspensions etc he's played a few games at LB (quite solid performances) but he clearly avoided using his left foot at all costs.

Clintabn Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Robbie McKenzie should have a long throws stat of around 12/13, as he seems to be the first team's nominated long throw taker (Harvey Lintott's dwarves his by a bit so his 15 rating seems quite accurate) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
