The bilge is what enables the analysis mate - but will save that till your on the couch

Don't knock the internet though mate, it's been scientifically proven to be better at realtionships than banging a bird on the stairs of the K at 4am in the morning for building long lasting realtionships (I miss my youth...)

That's eerily close to how I met her.

Using FIFA or FM to make decisions about football players is like using Call of Duty to decide how you should fight if a war ever broke out, they are games designed to let you to win regardless of skill

Played the old champ manager years and years ago and ended up with Messi at my second division spanish side at 25 for 25k, so yeah that sums computer games up, god knows what they are like these days, but guessing equally as wide on the mark on most things

In all fairness the Football Manager games are extremely life-like these days and are used as more than just a game in some capacities.
 
The caliber of players we're obviously after should fill everyone with confidence...if wits or Mata doesnt materialize then theres other boss players on the pipeline

Chill and enjoy the weekend

Think is mate, end of the dayu they are just a game though, yeah they have networks of people compiling data on players etc and doing estimates on player potentials etc, but i can guarantee for every player they get right who goes on to be great they will get 10 wrong, but people remember how this 17yo croatian lad they signed became world class when he does and forget about the dozens of 'wonderkids' in the game that turn out to be absolutely rubbish

As i said though haven't picked one of them up for about 7-8 years now but can't see that having changed really

The game was designed to let you win everything you can do and dominate eventually with any team in the world and a ssuch is as un lifelike as you can imagine.

Unless you think that Estaban Diaz the manager of Sabaddell (me) was that good that he took a team from the spanish 3rd division with a part time team to win the CL, Spanish league and become the manager of Spain and his club side at the same time winning the world cup


As un lifelike as you can ever get, same with FIFA, games are meant for the lowest ability level to win

Well we can agree to disagree in with that as it's possible to raise the difficulty to make it harder to conquer everything with Fleetwood Town. I'm not saying you're wrong in regards to the scouting of players but I can't think of too many "wonderkids" on the last 2-3 FM's that haven't turned out to be just that. The days of Cherno Samba seem to be over now with the plethora of information SI have available to them.
 
I tryed to buy Witsel last night on FM16 for £20m. The club accepted my offer but Witsel wern't interested in joining a smaller club (n).

Thing is mate, you won't see the utter wonderkid flops till you get about 5-6 years down the line, so always looks better shortly after that game is out, may google the current ones fromt he last 2-3 years and bet ya the likes of Berahino etc are listed in them, one who could easily be a laughed at one in yhears to come, Loftus cheek i am also guessing is one as well as a few unite dones etc
