28 SECOND red card, 

[What happened to online game?]

What happened to all the online "clans" in FM20?? and FM19 for that matter, Is there a reason why they've all disappeared, or am I just looking in the wrong place? 

[Youth intake notifications]

I'd like to come back to this topic now that I finally have a good example of something. Now, a couple of year ago (in game) I had a youth intake:

Note the two strikers I've highlighted in red. The top one 23a seems WAY better than the lower one 23k. I signed both, mostly because I didn't have many youth players, and his determination was high if nothing else. But still, 23a was far better, and I had decided to let him play a lot early on since he was a good talent for me.

Now, here is 23a two years later:

.

He has played 82 matches for my team, and scored a few goals. Not enough, but I'm a poor Hungarian team, so it's not a real surprise. He is still a good talent.

However, also take a look at 23k:

Suddenly, he looks like a very talented player as well! And his potential is now rated as 4.5 stars, and his ability is the same as 21a! Look at a comparison I'd say 23a is slightly better, but not by much.

So what happened here? Well, I might have given 23a too much games too early and that has hindered him rather than help him, because he played against far too good players. At the same time 23k played youth games for a few years and could slowly improve. At the same time, 23k have gone from a "Balanced" personality into "Fairy Professional", so his professionalisation have clearly increased. But additionally, the coaches have worked with the players for a few seasons and perhaps the initial assessment was plain wrong?

So, once again I've been give a lesson by the game. The stars are merely a still frame of a player, and could be very wrong. So even if the coaches don't rate a newgen from your intake, he could be good and you could miss out on a real player if you reject them on a glance.

I noticed one is 1 is only 16 yrs old while the other is 17, not sure how relevant that is. Did you control their training or your staff? were there any significant injuries or multiple minor injuries that added up to couple of months out? only other thing I can suggest is Bokros has 19 Natural fitness.

[What is the most goals one of your players has scored in a season?]

Best I've ever seen on ANY FM was a Brazilian named Bill, it was on FM19, Season 2031/32 and I splashed out my entire 15 million transfer budget on this 17 year old, I don't have the save game anymore to give you full season stats, He'd win EVERY possible season award (Young POS, PO5, Golden boot, World footballer of the year etc.) season after season.

I did manage to find this 1 screenshot  of his stats 18 games into his first season.
