Nah, I know about the best way to have the best youth progress in this game; that is, play them. Often. He got a bit better here and there, and to be fair he wasn't bad even when playing for me. But he would never be great either, it seemed. I just didn't want to waste anymore time, having another two great talents at right back (even though one has now slipped back into the "can be almost as good as X" stage).I just bought him for my QPR game as I couldn't get a permit for Borbon and don't know if there's any other good young British RWB's, maybe he didn't develop for you as he'd moved abroad. Did he actually start for you, or was he just coming off from the bench?

Edit: I just checked, and Santon is indeed a -9 in the database. I guess he was closer to 150 than 180 in my game. There's no guarantee in FM (except for players you know have a certain PA)
Sakho didn't disappoint though. I'm only a few years in, really, and he's already a top defender. And he's going to remain one for the better part of 10 years. Evans, I'm not so sure about. I had planned to make those two my regular pairing, and while he's done well enough, he's not in Sakho's class. I might look to get another top class player in while keeping him as a good #3.
Good ShoutFederico Fazio..
Yeah, he's on my shortlist. Excellent player.Federico Fazio..
Are you running a very high detail level? If you're properly simulating all the games from all the leagues (and cups, and internationals), I can imagine it would get quite slow. Personally I only properly simulate the big 3 leagues, and the big tournaments. I don't care if League 2 matches are a bit more abstractly simulated.I've dipped back into my old United game, and for some reason the processing is so slow, takes ages to do the weekend fixtures
Any ideas, as I've got another with 6/7 leagues that are so quick
Indeed! Just go to Options > Detail Level.Can that be changed midgame??
But this is Denmark we're talking about. Denmark.Denmark just offered me the national squad job, never done an international manager game, it'd be boring IMO
I took the Spain job. Naturally I was ace at it and won literally everything in sightDenmark just offered me the national squad job, never done an international manager game, it'd be boring IMO
Sure.You can still manager your club at the same time can't you?
Nah, hasn't seemed to work. Cheers thoughIndeed! Just go to Options > Detail Level.
It might not be your problem, but it doesn't hurt hurt to give it a go.
Did you play him out of position?Wenger might be winning the league, but I got him back good by playing Fabregas for all 90 minutes of a Spain friendly against Japan, even though he asked for 45. Hah, take that!
I still wanted to winDid you play him out of position?
I play as Arsenal,Rooney's going over 1500 minutes without scoring for me.
He was fired/left in his first season in mine (same too with Moanrinho) and he ended up at Inter.I just remembered what the problem with Arsenal was, mainly. Yes, some of their players are overrated (Adebayor practically always scoring a huge amount of goals), and yes, their youngsters are way overrated, but that isn't the main problem. The main problem, as it turned out, is Wenger. He's simply too good in the game. He's too good at making formations and tactics work. I just checked, and Wenger is still the manager in my game. I expect they will do a lot worse after he retires. Which I hope is shortly...
He usually ends up at another club fairly quickly, so I think I've just been unlucky here. And he didn't win the league for the first two seasons either (first Chelsea, then me, and now Arsenal twice). I think I've seen him end up at France a few times as well, so I hope I get them early in a tournament as Spain, so I can knock them the feck out and get their manager firedHe was fired/left in his first season in mine (same too with Moanrinho) and he ended up at Inter.
