Are there any players you have signed that TOTALLY underwhelmed?
Andre Wisdom was solid enough for me in League One with Sunderland, but went to heck once I was promoted. He did not cope with the step up in leagues at all, and his attitude when I criticised his form led to me selling him within 6 months of promotion.
So far Ansu Fati for 80m for United has been shocking in his 1st season. I even play he's now behind Rashford, Sancho, Shoretire and Elanga. He's played 12 games 0 goals and just 1 assist with an average rating of just 6.53. When he signed he'd come off the back of a 10 month injury at Barca and had also been injured for 3 months over the Xmas period for me. I'll give him one more season as I've altered his training etc if not he's got to go lol.
@@RossPH1 had the same issue with Wisdom on Sunderland 😅 solid him off and brought in some wonderkid from Cyprus who guided us to promotion playoffs in half a season
You could have genuinely renamed this list to players who have high injury proneness on the whole.
What about players with low professionalism? Professionalism is one of the key drivers of player development.
Weston McKennie for example has 7 for professionalism, Matheus Cunha and Riyad Mahrez have 9, Matteo Guendouzi, Marcelo Brozovic and Ousmane Dembele have 8, Leon Bailey, Julian Brandt, Niklas Sule, Bernardo Silva and Luka Jovic have 10.
All of the above are potentially elite level players who A) probably won't reach their potential unless already close to it like Bernardo, B) won't train well and C) won't be good mentors.
Any new FM players would probably still buy these players because ordinarily they are fine to the average player. However, if you play the game basing a squad around positive personalities like I do, none of these would fit the bill whatsoever.
Yeah and also these are stuff that we can know just by scouting the players they could have instead made a video where they show players who seem to be really great with very good attributes as well but just don't work in the match engine and then it would have been a much better list of players to avoid
Some of the players in the vid have a lack of professionalism and other issues as well, we just don't want to spoil values for people that are hidden. Barco f example, about 6-7 problems with him. Prof, con, pressure, controversial, slow to adapt, low decisions and to top that off he is inj pro. They were picked as players to avoid on the whole, even though just some things are mentioned and shown in game. The players you are mentioning, I don't think many expect them to develop a lot but training ofc is an issue, as is rapid decline when old.
Those hidden are also stuff that can be mentored for many players, maybe not all the ones you mention, but again that's one of the reasons we stayed away from divulging it. Injury proness and consistency can't, so that is worse and why we mostly focused on that.
@@rishoo700 People don't use the scout reports enough, you guys have to remember that not all vids we do will fit expert players. We have to fit a lot of different audience groups when it comes to FM, that' just how it is.
People can find tactics on sites, and wonderkids using editors.. Not much in this game that's hidden.
That said, we could do different episodes of this, there sure are a lot of players to pick from.
But for every player we say ain' working, some guy comments "he scored 200 goals for me"... ;) So.. We can't please everyone.
@@fmscout I didn't mean to criticize you guys and I agree when I started playing even I didn't go look at the scout reports I would just check the attribute graph and make a decision based on that so it's a pretty useful video for beginners. I was just suggesting an alternative video where you can show more players to avoid who might seem good but don't work in the match engine.
@@fmscout The younger ones, like McKennie you'd absolutely expect to develop further. But when professionalism is that low and with a relatively high reputation, players like that won't develop on the premise that they won't actually benefit from mentoring unless you never play them - even then, mentoring is very slow anyway this year. You'd need at least 6 or 7 'training reports' about personality changes to actually see a good turnaround in professionalism and even then, it's random which attributes change.
You argued professionalism can improve, likewise, consistency can over time, albeit slowly. My point is though, just loosely mentioning low professionalism in general terms won't hamper someone's gaming experience rather than sharing the number. It's just a fixed variable in the game even if it is 'behind the scenes'.
TBH, players labeled with "Might Have Problem With Injuries" or "Susceptible".
I don't see them injured that often. It is the duration of their injuries which is much more concerning. Minor injuries are part and parcel of the game, usually before the next match they'll be fine.
Major injuries are those kind that puts the player out for more than 3 months, which you need to be concern of.
i think the "might" and "susceptible" players are still worth a go if they arent going to be your whole transfer budget if its some cheap buy then go for it as it probably means their injury proneness is around 10ish so sure they could have a bad injury or pickup a few knocks but if you handle their training correctly could also never have any injury problems in their career.
even a player with 1 injury proneness stat can end up getting a lot of injuries
@@MrShadowRaiden Yeah, at least give them some hope. They could help you quite a lot.
Fortunately Zagadou has been a beast for me with Stuttgart as we qualified for Champions League football in my second season 😎
Same for me, picked him up on a free with Bayer04! So far no real injuries and doing great
@@sonmar2813 He only had one injury which ruled him out for 3 weeks but other than that He’s been solid for me
He is my starting center back in my invincible Chelsea save.......lol
ik silas katompa is a dawg for u
@@murego1849 unfortunately not man Roberto Massimo played better with me probably due to my tactic and Katompa was consistently getting 6.4-6.8 ratings every game. I got Francisco Conceicao on a loan with a 2.2 mandatory fee and decided to sell Katompa. Maybe He would’ve played better as a AF but I have Arezo and Sesko.
Pelayo Morrilla retired in my save in FM21 at 27 after having the same injury 4 times in 2 years
Me watching this video while managing Notts County in vanarama national league "Yeah I shouldn't buy Eden Hazard"
I like to take a gamble with most of these injury prone players IF i'm managing a topclub and could get them for a bargain. The sports science works very well in FM and if you keep a close eye on injury risk and matchload, you can usually nurture them pretty well trough a season. Even if they do get injuries more often, it doesnt always mean they are out for months or weeks, sometimes it's only a few days so they are ready for the next game. And it's something you can more or less calculate, that they won't be available for 20 games in a row. But not many players are anyway so rotation is never a bad idea. The inconsistancy is a much bigger danger that is way more unpredictable or avoidable imo.
Great comment, thanks Fuzzy
Unless you do a save and track their progress it's all 'could have a problem with injuries'. They might not.
This vid should only have been 30 seconds long. Thanks for telling me I shouldn't buy players that are injured all the time, I had no idea.
Where is the injury table in fm 22 I can't find it but I'm sure I've used it this fm before. I'm on xbox. I've looked at the league and I cant find it
I have stefani sensi. I got him on a free from inter. Hes turned out to be a good signing for me and tbh has managed to play nearly an entire season ever season ive had him which has been for 3 seasons.
He may get injured but its usally only for 4 weeks so may miss 3 to 4 league games a season which i can live with. it could be partly due to my training schedule which is taylored to deal with fitness and keep the players fit
Injury proneness is a bit weird as it won´t always come into effect, I have 3 and only 1 of them has actually been injury prone in the 3 seasons I have had him.
zagadou doing well on my save in benfica !!
Zagadou never got injured too often for me, he was just properly shit
Using Dortmund as beta save, I guess I was lucky that Zagadou was relatively injury free. Tho ultimately he's losing out to Collins in the pecking order
Sometimes we are lucky! :) Sensi has 20 inj pro, I wonder how he lives his life.
Thanks for the great shouts on these players. But I also look natural fitness. So I know the right time to sell players before they past their peak
It's a good pick, we probably could have mentioned that.
Some market values are crossed out. Why is that so? Can you help me?
Avoid low determination, problem with injuries and inconsistency.
In terms of Neres it's a gamble. He can be consistent.
1) Riccardo Calafiori - Tried both with Udinese 3 seasons and Fiorentina 2 seasons, average 6.4 but with huge errors on key matches. Better go with Mattia Ruggeri, after 1 season worth 80M and 7.22 average. A rock on the left wing.
2) Mauro Icardi - Tried after one first great season with Sassuolo in which we conquered Champions League by 4th place in serie A, 4-2-3-1 with Raspadori striker. Since Scamacca never convinced me, I tried to sign Icardi for his european experience by putting him striker and Giacomo TS. After 25 caps and 4 gol, I signed Lorenzo Lucca, who really turned that page.
I got zagadu on a free as a back up defender and sold him the next season for 25 million was well happy 😊
Im on my fourth season with Leicester , i lost uefa cup final first season , won it the second then won the champions league in my third season but still no league yet , was 6 , 5 then third last season missing out with 3 points in it , ive had lewindowski since my second season amazing player also i do the corner trick and my french defender fafana has scored 15 goals last year and now he has 10 with half season gone 🤣🤣
Instead of apologizing for every single name they read (which gets old fast) I wish FM creators would just take the time to slowly read some of these names and realize they are usually quite easy and straightforward. Now you can't get through a video like this without hearing ten to twenty apologies. I know it's a small thing to argue about but it just takes a little reading and patience.
It really bother me also 😅. Like It won't take more than 5 min to learn those names for video. Still they just seem to not giving a single try and apolizing annoyingly throughout the video.
Signed couple of them, and I can tell you Dembele and Zagadou are absolutely terrible is a very different way. Dembele is inconsistent in his for, he is injured most of the time and is unplayable. Zagadou is a good player, but every year he wants more money, more time on the field, his agent is awful so yeah, if you can don't sign him. I sign him and Dembele on a free, and that is a trap. I also signed David Neres for 55 million and he Is an absolute beast. Scoring goals and assists almost every game
I've just signed dembele in the transfer window. So have to see how he goes. Hazard was brilliant for Chelsea last season.
@@garywinfield9764 what year are you talking about? In my version Dembele ia not consistent and his prone to injuries. Not worth it for 150k per week
I snapped up Zagadou for my Cardiff side.. Ever present so far minus the games he has been benched to give game time to others and rotate. One or two minor injuries and hasn't asked for a new contract yet either.
Damn , I signed Zagadou For My Villa Save, I mean he ended up doing great, especially with corners, but its just lucky, maybe?
Luck always helps!
NOOOO
Neres is a very good player!
One of my favourite!
Same here Neres has done very well for me during the first season. Until PSG came and spend a sh*t ton of money on him.
I signed Zagadou on a free in one of my saves, kept him for 5 seasons only 2 injuries in that space of time (longest was 2 weeks out) Sold him for £80 million!!
Center backs get fewer injuries. I think because they are strong and get less tired than other players.
David Neres? Consistency is roulette. Like playing in big matches. For some incosistency can be ignored.
Phil Jones should be the top of the list, just saying.
Good shout. He was on our top 15.
I would add Dwight McNeil to the list. Stats amazing, scout report - not so much
Moukoko is a trap, his attribute looks amazing but he's not playing very good on daily basis, don't ever sign him! Sign Adeyemi instead, he's a true goals bag...
It’s pronounced Royce not Ruis…
Jordan Morris needs to be added - high salary demands plus had two serious ACL injuries in 3 seasons - plays for Seattle Sounders.
Without watching… I wonder if anyone has been able to use TAA successfully without using a gengenpress tactic
I did on FM2020 using tiki taka
@@ethanprince356 wish I was able to, not sure how to if it’s a possession game
@@scottmiles6625 Go to 4-1-2-3 custom tiki taka and play TAA as a Complete Wing Back (Support). This role will show a complete light green circle showing that it is his natural role. Hope this helps!
Bro.. Neres in this list is just not fair. He has been a beast for me at Ajax. Being the best player of my team for like 4 years straight. Your scouts suck i guess!
DONT SIGN Noa Lang. Worst spend of money in my FM 22 save until this moment
Please make fm22 mobile version
Mbappe is always underwhelming for me,
Erm sorry this is wrong, I signed Barco for 5m at the start of the game, two seasons in playing as AMC, AML and CM he won fans player of the year twice, and has these stats:
2012/22 Played 31 (5), Goals 9, Assists 11, Ave rating 7.24
2022/23 Played 39 (2) Goals 13 Assists 11 Ave rating 7.18
Phenomenal signing and even won Premier League signing of the season. No idea why he would be included on this list
Well he has low professionalism, low consistency, pressure extremely low, is controversial, takes a long time to adapt when he arrives, could get injured a lot.. And his decisions is also 8.
Now, that doesn't mean he can't work, but if there are some players that it's risky to sign in FM22, then he is one of them.
It also depends on how you do and how he plays. If one always wins games, he always plays, there are no problems with dynamics etc then for sure he can be a good player. So can Phil Jones.
Each to their own :)
@@fmscout I get what you are saying but could it be more emphatically wrong than him literally winning signing of the season? And only 5m, is that such a risk? And Although its Newcastle with bags of cash, it isn't easy to get top players in early on, so he was playing with the likes of Isaac Haydn and Sean Longstaff, hardly world beaters
