GR3NDAL Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Haaland says he will weigh up his options at the end of his contract. This put off PSG who turned their attention to Musiala. He wanted to go but I said their bid was too low and he agreed that a bid of 166m was needed. Needless to say PSG eventually offered 166m all up front so I had to let him go I never understood why no matter how much better Liverpool are than PSG they can always attract any player. I mean who would rather live in Paris than Liverpool.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ultimately what you find is that high reputation clubs can command larger fees for players though because of their reputation and ultimately 'smaller' clubs have this ideology that hey, that player is a promising player from a top four team so the game values them accordingly due to various factors. Ultimately, the player is probably a bit more realistic with their expectations of value if they want playing time, they'll certainly want to jump ship at a much more appealing price to attract more clubs as opposed to only richer clubs/other high rep clubs where they won't play. However, I do agree there is a lot of discrepancy on the game, I have had similar instances but not as extreme in variability between the values.

I only use player instuctions in a few cases such as if someone is in danger of being sent off. Opposition instructions only for their best playmaker (if he is good enough) but usually I don't bother as my tactic is pressing enough. Show onto weaker foot if their forwards are very one-footed. Never use tackle harder as I get too many yellows as it is! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kloppy Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Starting a new save. Not going to do a 4-3-3. Going with a front 4 to give Minamino a career at the club. Easier also to give Kaide, Matti, Balagazi a career here aswell. No transfer policy at Liverpool as per usual. Find great enjoyment staring at good finances whilst bringing through my lads. Adds a great challenge though as you can’t improve much. Also will always have a weak spot in the team which is quite realistic. FSGs wet dream I am.

Staf9 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 new save. i holidayed to the 20th of dec 2021 to see how klopp started the season. liverpool are sitting 4th on 34 points after 18 games. 10 points behind City. Chelsea and united are 2nd & 3rd both on 36 points after 17 games. Liverpool topped their CL group and are in the qtr finals of the LC against United. which will be my first game. quite happy with that as a starting point. wont be an easy task to win the league. i'll try to bring through Elliott and Gordon as Salah's back ups and eventual replacements and i'll give Jones the rotation with Mane on the left wing instead of trying to get in potential wonderkids.

guruhd Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Is anybody struggling to develop their younger players? Kaide Gordon and Bobby Clark obviously have most potential, but approaching the end of my second season I have seen pretty much no improvement in them. I have quality coaches in place giving 4 to 5 star quality training all with a light or average workload. They all have high stats for Working With youngsters, motivation etc. Facilities are bang up to date. Previous games you’d quite quickly start to see these types of player improve but it’s just not happening for me. Am I alone? Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR3NDAL Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Do any of you guys go into national management? It is summer '28 and I finally got the England job. My first foray into international management was a stint at Ivory Coast winning the AFCON 27. I then took Serbia all the way to the Euro 28 final which was only lost in extra time! We even missed a penalty with practically the last kick of the game. England were knocked out by Turkey so Marco Silvas time was up.

Yeah I know what you are saying as I was reluctant to pay the £90m it took to get him as I like to keep the game as realistic as possible. But in his case I made an exception, and I think in real life he’s the kind of player LFC would make an exception for as he has so much potential with so many years ahead of him. The game can get somewhat unrealistic with regards transfers and budgets. My mate is playing it and start of season 4 having sold a couple of players he has a transfer budget of £260m!!!
