Season 64

[nikolgiorgos]

I know your feeling Buff. I have the same issue this season.
Started last season with a nordgen I bought. Excellent trainer but awful scorer. After tried everything, I waited this season but nothing changed so I sold him.



My main ST NEYMAR (four seasons won the golden shoe) also lost the touch with the nets and the third one LEONIDAS - well, he has good rates but he is mostly assist man, not the executioner I want. I bought another ST, BEBETO, nothing. Not bad rates but no goals.
I bought a scout/list player and he is the worst of all (too bad I gave the name of a great scorer, ZARDEL)



So, most of my goals are from MCs, AMs and then finally from my STs. At least they have more goals from my defenders



With my league I 'm ok but in CH.L. I can't see much future with that situation

Yeah I can remember your discussions about that ST.

I can live with my ST issue atm because its not like early season where I was winning by 1 then came a draw and 2 x 1 goal losses. At least now I can kid myself on that the midfielders are scoring before the STs get a sniff >.<

I'm more concerned that the Academy has thrown another 24T training flop - only saving grace is he is performing very well because he was not worth it in terms of MV and will not receive extra training. So he'll last as long as 'he' wants to.

Like I said before, his motivation is near peak, that is the cause of a fast trainer training slowly.

If you keep him and let him play you will see his training progress skyrocket (but won't be making insane performance anymore).

I know what you mean but.....He has been playing initially as sub and recently as starter - its not just his training rate, his MV looks really strange for what should be a higher value player and doesn't 'seem' to be increasing in a normal fashion either, but I'll keep him for the Season to see how he progresses and how MV increases from Q to Q. I've had a lot of Academy players and even had a team for 8 seasons that existed only on Academy players (never went near TM) and all I can say is this guy 'feels' weird. Don't know how to explain it yet.

But on training rate I decided to share 30 packs (God Bless the Saturday fb video frenzy ) between this 81Q player and my 89 & 90Q 22 yo (a Nordgen and an Academy player from another team) and he fractionally averaged better. Again, it just feels a bit weird. Had this before with another (coincidently) 24T player who was normal in 1st season then stopped progressing as expected by both value and training. (I'm starting to think I'll avoid 24Ts on my main and I'll put extra into lower Q >.< )

I'll keep an eye on things but he's getting no extra training unless things change either by 'motivation' by better luck or by other voodoo.
