Yeah, fm is realistic, except for tactics, they are broken Outside of gegenpress any other effective tactic will stop working after 4-5 months. Not to mention a lot of realistic tactics barely work. Parking the bus is usually a effective and realistic tactic, but on FM its complete dogsh*t I once used the FM editor put a manager who had park the bus as his favorite tactic into the game, he had only 20's as his rating And no matter what he did, every team he joined DECLINED when he joined

Zealand, contact Kev (Lollujo) and ask him if you could analyze his team/system/instructions in his current Holme FC save. Personal opinion: his save (mainly due to Kevs stubbornness, extremely bad tactical decisions and transfer policies) became the most frustrating thing to watch in FM KZbin history. Would like to see a video on that. Thanks in advance.

[@Tyrkia123]

Hey Zealand. Could you make a video about what the expected range of attributes should be on your wonderskids based on their age? With that I mean: If you say get a brazilian wonderkid that is 18 years old, what should his stats look like compared to say a 22 year old brazilian wonderkid? What is the expected level your wonderkids should be at, at what age?

[@valmeida6846]

It depends a lot on 4 hidden attributes: professionalism, consistency, injury prone and big matches. Also game time. A wonderkid with those attributes on the high would be maxed out by the age of 22

[@SimersFM]

Wonderkid is simply a media description for how good they perceive the player to be at a young age. The best players in the world can increase say 5+ in each attributes. I’d focus more on how good they are based on their age and what a good scout says their potential is. If you see they seem to have a long way to go and their not super young then likely they won’t reach that potential. May just take more experience in playing the game. Every player is different and attributes are different based on position.

Realizing how unbalanced the FM21 engine is in regards to tactics kinda ruined the game for me. Low block is extremely disgustingly unrealistically bad, counterpress is overpowered. Lida 4132 seems to be miles better than any other tactic in game, no matter which players you have. Even if your players cant really play their positions in the 4132 it is so much better than meticulously crafting a specific tactic to fit your players. In my save i took over Norwich at 20th and got them to 14 same season and then 7th after one season with 0 purchases. Fiorentina from 19th to fifth in half a season without any new players either. Shadow strikers seem to have much more intelligent movement in regards to coming deep, finding channels and running in behind. Also wish they kinda had something else than just rep and EL/CL qual to make players come to smaller clubs, something like manager hype or known great development among players there last season, people wouldnt join my 7th place Norwich team that was filled with youth and shredding teams like city, like what?

[@loganfriesen8145]

It's about potential. The players with 3-4.5 stars on this save are NOT GREAT because that 4 stars is in comparison to the other players on the same team (not the league or world). Wiring the world and scouting popular regions for hot prospects will find some super studs with actual insane stats

[@ShinySwalot]

@@loganfriesen8145 I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I mostly meant like Attributes. The guys at for example the ADO save have like so many high green stats in the good areas but he still calls them not good enough and I don't really know how I quantify that

[@janbo8331]

@@ShinySwalot It's quantified as relative to your opponents/league. You need to be very aware of what level of players your league has in terms of bottom teams, mid table teams and top teams. A player might be great for a team trying to avoid relegation but a bench warmer in a top team. Study others teams long enough and you'll get an intuitive sense on what level is good enough for which objective.

Finishing is just one attribute of many that contribute to goal scoring.. like all attributes they can be important. Strength pace accel composure dribbling first touch technique and like 10 others help players score goals.. not just finishing.
