Recommended players - how the engine works

[talisman]

Gert , did you see the defenders in my recommendation? I'll have 3 (unreliable) GK for a while, will see what happens...
I don't mind under-21 GKs on the bench for investment since they'll gain skill points from most any training.

Remember guys, English ain't easy, cut everyone a break when they're trying to share something thoughtful. We've got plenty of trolls around here who really earn some smack!

The guys English is perfectly understandable. What isn't understandable is his insistence in regurgitating the procedure we all know and use on the 18yo 5* fast-trainer Nordgens that we can pick up for a few tokens off the normal Transfer Market a few times a season at 5-6am GMT and applying it to the most expensive of the AM recommendation players, who already have the rating and SA that we would be training the fast trainers for. In my experience, the expensive AM players, although good players and good trainers, have never been particularly fast trainers.

For 79T I am expecting a player who will fit my needs, with all the appropriate accessories. Imagine if you bought a Rolls-Royce and it came with the steering wheel the wrong side, a 1 litre engine under the bonnet and no spare tyre, and then you were told you have to pay extra to get it put right. That's what the 'gentleman' above is proposing.

You have ample opportunity to create the player you want with much cheaper initial outlay, don't expect to do the same with an AM player.

In my view, the AM is provided by Nordeus and therefore works for them. He should also be working for the manager. He has access to the manager's playing style, the player roster and their quality and SAs, and stats for the appearances and match ratings. The AM should be using this to bring to the managers' attention a selection of players that will improve the squad as it stands, not a random (and/or repeated) choice of players that the manager has little interest in - after all, the object is for the manager to buy a player, therefore bringing income for Nordeus.

I already know which players I will be looking to replace next season - they will then be 3* and low-Q 4* players who I will be looking for good 5* replacements for. If the AM was to offer a selection of players that will be excellent replacements for them, then Nordeus would get a guaranteed sale, not an unfulfilled one.
