He has been fairly poor, only 3 goals and 3 assists in 23 games, nowhere near good enough

have to say I was/am expecting alot more from him and now is the time for him to deliver

Have you moved him about? I had Ganso at AMC and he wasn't doing great, moved him out wide and put Jadson AMC and both are doing alot better now

ctrl-alt-delete

Does anybody else when searching through players get a "you may need to load a data pack" ?

Has happened a few times to me, i press load data pack anyways and it does its thing.

Did you try moving him about? I popped El Shaawary up,front and he improved no end!!!!

He should be doing more than that for sure........

I have tried him up front, out wide and behind the striker. Nothing seems to be working and it is risky to be trying new things at this stage of the season

Hmm... Your right he should be doing better, might be worth having a look on the SM forums to see how other managers are getting the most out of him. Those stats are poor for a player of such quality so there must be something in it.....

Interesting, considering Neymar is rated higher (higher division I know) but even his average performance is under 7, it should be higher than that really....

Ya, its not just him though, I have the best defence in the division but I also have the lowest amount of goals in the top 8, only 48 goals in 31 games which isnt enough when I have so many attacking players

Ben Arfa, Neymar, Yarmolenko, Thiago, Willian, Michu, Cisse and Matri

Surely there should be more goals flowing:(

Neymar obviously isn't suited to the position or formation!

Mr Blobby

You shouldn't judge a player on his Goals & Assists.

Instead look at the AvP ( Average Performance ) Its the best way to judge a player.

Isco only has a few goals and Assists but his AvP his pretty decent.
Actually though... Neymars is pretty low.

Neymar is Only a 6.83.. Isco is 7.21

Ya, he should be averaging over 7 at least imo

Do any of ye change your tactics for an upcoming game based on the oppositions results against certain formations?

Rayne Wooney

Getting psyched up for my game tomorrow, going to drop the suit into the dry cleaners later. The first game of my run in of death, a chance to win 7 consecutive league games.


7th place Fiorentina come to the Philips Stadion to play 13th place PSV. 11 points separate the sides with 7 games to go. There's a difference of 0.18 between both starting 11's rating, in favour of Fiorentina.

Probably giving stuff away but sure fúck it. I found what I think is a winning formation and haven't changed it in about 20 games. Obviously sometimes I'll lose but for the most part I do pretty good. The way I see it is, I'm top of Div 3 so no point changing anything

Yeah that's why I posted that, I look at the avg. performance first and foremost and Neymars is rightly down, so was El Shawaary when I had him on the wing but he drastically improved up front. I agree with Pepper, he is a player you need to build the entire team around, if he is not performing you need to look at the entire setup IMO

Lord TSC

I am the same as PPPP. Been playing a 4231 since I took over and it's doing me very well.

Might try with two strikers next season, as it's been doing well in friendlys. But in the league, this close to end, I am playing safe...

That's not giving away too much, giving away too much would be saying there is a very I depth thread discussing formations/counter formations on the SM forum.....


Oops

Going to take a risk so for tomorrow night, if it works my promotion chances will hopefully be back on track, if not.................

Fiorentina 7th (H)
Roma 6th (A)
Fenerbache 15th (H)
Porto 1st (A)
Leverkusen 5th (H)
Newcastle 3rd (A)
Zenit 8th (H)



All bolded teams are in the top 8, I've to play 1st, 3rd, and 5th in the league. I'll be saying a few prayers to the footballing gods.
