    I've tried but I can never get into playing with anyone but Liverpool.

        I'm the same with Newcastle, but they are so bad in this game. I might not be able to pick it up until January. Our researcher post on the Newcastle forum I frequent and he's said he'll improve the team for the transfer window patch.

        Still haven't won a game with Woking, but starting to get some draws. Signed a few good players, but still lacking a bit, mainly a goal scorer. Tried to sign my old camp counselor, but couldn't get a work permit.

          Are all the players just underrated?

            Pretty much. But also, Ben Arfa and Donovan were awful, which was weird. What's most annoying is that our best players this season aren't just bad in the game, they are just blatantly awful. Coloccini, Enrique, Tiote and Carroll mainly. Nolan is passable, as is Barton, but that's really it.

              To be fair, if I was rating them for this year, I'd probably do the same. Colo and Enrique were terrible the relegation year and it's tough to gauge how that will translate a year up. Nolan and Barton were the same.

              Tiote coming from Twente is definitely underrated though. Dude was the rock for a Eredivise winning side

                I think a lot of Colo's play was exaggerated, but he was pretty bad. I don't think Jose was that bad though, as evidence look how much worse off we were when he was hurt and Duff was stuck at LB.

                What's weird is considering their form, that's what FM usually bases the first patch off of. Look at Defoe in the first patch last year, I thought we'd see the same with Carroll.

                  I agree. Wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to wait to see him keep it up for a while before giving him a big boost.

                    Also, James Perch is halfway decent in the game. This is a problem.

                        4 wins and a draw heading into the Christmas break with Napoli, improving our standing up to 5th in the table.

                        I've got Simon Kjær and Maroune Fellaini transferring in on January 2nd.

                        Kjær is going to start alongside Cannavaro at CB, while Fellaini will join Blasi in the midfield, with Cigarini moving to the bench.

                        The other change, is Candreva starting at AMC rather than Quagliarella. Quagliarella has requested a transfer, and it has been granted, as the previous regime had acquired Abel Hernandez and with Nicklas Pedersen also on the squad, I have more than enough depth in a one striker system.

                          Definite bug in the transfer logic IMO, haven't been on the FM forums but I assume they have this. Teams offer players for sale, but have an asking price of £0. I know Liverpool hates Babel, but there is no way they want to give him away

                            Yeah, it's been mentioned on the forums. I've only glanced though, so not sure how much concern there is behind it.

                                The only way I can see something like that being semi-not fucked up is if it happens more with older players with massively high wages, that most teams wouldn't be able to afford anyway. So, even if they are out of favor and are being shopped around, it would make a little bit of sense as the team trying to get rid of them doesn't want to pay to keep them on the bench.

                                One example I saw of someone complaining about it was when Kaka was offered around for no fee in 2013, when he's 31 at that point, injury prone, and being paid a massive wage. I didn't see that as unrealistic, because of the aforementioned age and injury factors. He's a great player, but at that point in his career it's not at all unheard of.

                                Now if it's happening with younger players then I guess I could be more of a concern, but nothing earth shattering really. There's worse things than Babel being offered around.
