Also, I really wish they'd sort out the problem where, after every registration window, you get about eight 16 year olds with no prior 1st team experience, complaining about not being registered for European competition. It's so unrealistic. Also, does anybody know if you can still get experienced 1st team players to take youngsters under their wing? I don't seem to be able to find the option anymore. It's done via mentoring groups now which you can set up in the training section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so annoying. It's often young players I've purchased for the youth set-up, rather than the yearly academy intake. They're on youth contracts too (and squad status), so I can't figure out what's going on. I think the programmers have just overlooked something.

villan95 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Yeah I had a couple of young prospects and a squad player I signed that were unhappy they weren't registered. Strangely though Kamara and Messi weren't bothered when they were left out 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can help if you want to make a young player more determined and improve their personality. So if your senior player has 'professional' and 17 determination but your 18 year old only has 'balanced' and 10 determination it can be beneficial to try and improve it to help them reach their potential. Players can also pick up traits like 'brings ball out of defence' so it's worth making sure they play similar positions in each mentoring group. On the flip side if your senior players have worse personalities than your wonderkids then I definitely wouldn't bother. And no need to mentor someone if they are already 'driven' or 'professional' etc. Edited January 9 by villan95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have eight 16 year olds in the under 18s wanting to leave because I didn't register them for the Champions League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I often holiday between matches just because I can't be bothered to keep pressing continue lol. It has got me in a few situations like when a player is 'developing concerns' and I miss the chance to talk to them. But overall it just makes the game that bit quicker which I like. I set the time processor to instant, so the game continually goes until I stop it / get a inbox that needs attention.

villan95 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Somehow we've made it to the CL final Madrid did beat us 5-0 at the Bernabeu in the group stage so I'm not very optimistic but we'll give it a go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie has scored a decent amount of goals but he does seem a bit streaky. Also watching him I noticed he loses the ball a bit too much and keeps running offside. I feel like FM could have been more generous with his dribbling and technique especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
