My 3 best players (average ratings) have all been on the transfer list this season. Maybe i should put Alba on the market so he gets a grip (although 2 goals and 3 assists isn't that bad).
Another thing. When you pick your side; do you play players in certain positions to "balance" out the ratings over the pitch?
Ex:
Not that it's helped me so far..

Yeah I've got a weird obsession with that in midfield.
Last season I had:
Griezmann (91) Nasri (92) Pogba (92) Eriksen (91) Bale (94)
Now its more like
Griezmann (92) Özil (94) Pogba (92) Isco (92) Bale (94)

Yeah I know. I have wanted to switch to this for a while now but lahm and chiellini are such a waste at FB.Your team is suited to 4231.
Thats true tbf.
It isn't that. The same team and Tactics give widely varying results. But yeah, a change is required anyways. No point keeping things the same and continuing to be shit.
None of my players' rating has increased this round 
Was hoping at least 2-3 players will get a plus. Now I am not sure if it is going to happen soon

They do because the opposition is taken into consideration. For example you had shit results against any other formation apart from 352. Having he better team quality you have been better against 352 teams despite the result not going in your favour. You lost 5-1 to me on a simple 352 formation vs 4231 and only 4-3 to Everton after changing things slightly against a 4231 again. Everything is taken into consideration. Looking at the forums I saw a discussion back in 2006 where the developers have said that numerous factors are added into the game engine formula such as condition, morale, rating, form, home adv, formation, tactics and so on to produce the results. It's not random pot luck whatever RS may have you believe! He might be a good scout but he's a shit manager

Actually your stats are slightly skewed.
Wolves: Litter Bug - In charge 14 Feb 2015 - present - Games 45 - Points 108 - Average 2.40 - Team Value: £143m - Average First Team Rating 84
Forest: Phil Knut - In charge 2 Jan 2015 - present - Games 73 - Points 168 - Average 2.30 - Team Value: £351m - Average First Team Rating 89
You said shit manager. I merely pointed out that I have won 8 trophies compared to your 1 on SM and average better points on SM. So yeah, get better stats Jose.
You're looking at all SM stats, look at our GW stats as that's where comparison is fair.
I have had one season on SM and won 1 trophy. So far I'm at 100% record.
You didn't win anything till your third season and have been complaining about match engine forever now that you can't get a win but it was due to your superior managers quality when you won all those trophies
According to your SM match engine logic then you are a crap manager and did nothing to win those trophies.

We're all crap managers because the match engine is random.
Also, I picked a Div 2 club and it took a while for me to get a hang of the game. Given that i'm listed as the 2nd best manager both currently and of all time on this gameworld it would perhaps suggest that you're talking pipe Jose. Which is at least consistent with your online persona.
My first ever signing was Adriano. It was a rough beginning.We're all crap managers because the match engine is random.

Getting the Spurs job saved me a lot of trouble, saving that Palace side was a mammoth task of my own making.Mine was Stuart Taylor.
good timesThe offer for Keisuke HONDA of CSKA Moskva from Leeds United has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.
The offer for Pacheco HENRIQUE of Santos from Leeds United has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.
The offer for Morais WELLITON of Spartak Moskva from Leeds United has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.
The offer for Federico FERNANDEZ of Napoli from Leeds United has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.
Well pro. Stars of the future them!

Why are we playing this game then? I've only been here a few months but what about the rest of you on 3 years plus? If you believe that then why play?
To disprove your logic I can recall 5-6 games in this GW and others where I didn't change my team and lost. By that random logic I should have won at least 1 but I did not simple as.
We enjoy scouting.
Alaba <3
@RedSky maybe I wasn't as bad as I thought
The offer for Douglas COSTA of Shakhtar from Crystal Palace has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.
"Nottingham Forest are said to be interested in 84 rated Nathaniel CLYNE from Crystal Palace"
I was bloody awful. Took me 2 and a half seasons to get going and repair the damage I did in the first season.
Some good players there!
Yes scouting is a nice aspect of the game but its another tool to help you with the actual purpose of the game which is to win games, trophies, etc
Its flawed logic that the engine is randomized otherwise it would be so for everyone and the better teams would not win games and end up with trophies.
Evrything matters, one player change can affect your whole formation.
The match engine is absolute bollocks, the reason I quit the game for good. Transfers is what keeps most interested, I built 2 very good teams at Spurs and Villa but lost the enjoyment as the results were never consistent or realistic.
I shall continue enjoying tweaking my team and tactics to win games while you continue to watch your players rise uselessly and complain about the match engine.
Anyway to check our transfer history from previous seasons?
Now I understand your obsessions with not lowering the player cap. Transfers is all the enjoyment you have left
@Damien can you threadmark the latest FFP pretty please.

I remember buying hulk and thiago at villa. Don't remember much else.
I'm going to assume Savic was my first buy
I bought a load of oldies and got relegated.
Unfortunately not, you just have to rely on posts which works well when I'm looking at initial transfers when I was at Leeds, but is useless for when I took over Manchester United as Zarlak didn't post teams/transfers and I didn't post the squad before I de-oldfogified it
I got rid of them when I took over but now bought a few again as they're good cash cows and have decent ratings.
On the test GW I bought a whole new team of oldies and have wages of £1m. I have the best team in Div2 right now but will be in deep shit debt by the end of the season.
#Pro
I was in the relegation zone when I took over I think so tried to buy my way out of it. Sold everyone and bought an entire new team only to still go down. I think only Parejo's left of my initial transfers at the club
