How do transfer demands work, does it go to highest bidder or is every bid accepted?
Good luck to everyone, I'm sure @Dom Gill in particular is rooting for you.
I've got no idea. I'd like to think it is like bidding for AI - all accepted and it picks one of the highest at random - but concerns going to level 5 is so rare that feck knows.
Last 19 year old to hit 93 I believe was Mbappe, and at that point he had won the World Cup.
2:2 draw against Frankfurt - Frimpong scoring on his first game since becoming 90 rated. I don't hold out much hope for the final against Cardiff but will try my best.

@BenitoSTARR Can you ask why Malen didn't rise after the spring he had? Bit of a joke he couldn't get 90 for it.
I’ve not had anything to do with Germany but I can raise it.
Likely answer will be down to his minutes share. I’d imagine he’ll be at 90 by winter review if he keeps up the form though.
So he’s just over 2000 mins with 10 goals 8 assists this season.
Could be due the rise.
Could be due the rise.
9 goals and 5 assists in the league in 16 matches this year. He's a feckin 89. If that doesn't deserve 90 then what's the point of this feckin game. The fact he hasn't played 90 minutes in most games makes it even more impressive, no?
First half of the season shouldn't have any effect as there are 2 reviews. During this review window he was great. Fecking bollocks.
I’ve queried it but don’t shoot the messenger
Alright, thanks.
3:1 victory at home to Middlesbrough to end the league season. Crazy that after eight games United were 9th in the league, couldn't score 1 goal per game and conceded pretty much a goal per game then for the remainder of the season averaged 2 goals per game and conceded 21 in 30.

@The Stain
Wasn’t considered due to being condensed into the half season.
I’ve stated the case for a rise though as I do agree with you. Starter now for top club and statistically very strong.
If he continues to start then expect a +1/2 in January. For what it’s worth I’m happy to push this in the build up to next review (although I don’t usually deal with Germany)

Given the relative strengths of teams to get Cardiff into 5th on average is crazy.
We’re a top striker away from a league title I feel.
We’re a top striker away from a league title I feel.
1.6 last 5 season average for Damien is absolutely filthy!
The only way is down from here
seriously though after the first 6-8 games I thought the 9th "worst finish" record was under threat. If you can get a top striker/goalscorer you definitely have a shot. Mbappe, Lewandowski, Kane - all the league winners had someone smashing the scoring charts.You might need to put Sterling there but then you're in the awkward situation of not having a 91+ winger, though I'm sure it won't be long until Gakpo is there.. and then there's the issue of David's lack of versatility and Sterling probably going to continue to go down in rating with the way Chelsea are... tough situation.
I’m looking at this I think post reviews…The only way is down from here

Neuer 94
Rüdiger 92 Le Normand 90 Tomori 91 Shaw 92?
Tchouameni 92 Thiago 93
Gakpo 91 David 91 Aouar 90
Sterling 92
Rüdiger 92 Le Normand 90 Tomori 91 Shaw 92?
Tchouameni 92 Thiago 93
Gakpo 91 David 91 Aouar 90
Sterling 92
Laid out like that it really is impressive how you are so high in the PR. I think Shaw does deserve 92. Shame about Aouar's lack of versatility as, for me at least, the LW is the one who gets the bulk of assists so usually would prefer the likes of Gakpo there.
What's the situation with Pope/Neuer?
Don't they see how dumb that is? We only get two reviews in a year. So if someone performs poorly in the first half of the season it doesn't matter how well they perform in the second half? I guess unless they are hyped players, then they get a rise for being linked to some clubs even if their stats are mediocre. Might as well sell underperforming players mid-season then. Not talking to you here, just in general.
Such a dumb concept: "If they continue to perform then they will surely rise bla bla.." Again, not saying it because you've said it. We've heard that shit before. How about rise players when they do well? Just as they should drop ratings when players perform poorly. Just rise them again if they start performing again. Please forward my thoughts if you want.
It’s a decent side but nowhere near as good as those above me. I need to get lucky on signing a worldie youth player early on.
I do think Gakpo has the potential to be 93+ at Liverpool and David given the right move is a good enough consistent goal scorer to do that too. Just depends on his next move. So I’ve got hopes they will raise the ceiling of the attack. Wilson coming in will be due a +1/2 as he’s statistically one of the best finishers in Europe behind only Haaland in the PL right now (based on npxg/min). If Kolo Muani raised to 91 I think Wilson could well be in with a shout here too. Fabio Silva is always one in expecting to develop a lot more in the next 2 years.
Mudryk I expect to take off next season at Chelsea which should give me a guaranteed 90+ winger. Which means Gakpo could move back to LW.
I’ve also got Mbuemo very underrated who I think hits 90 next season at Brentford before getting a move to a bigger club, Santiago Simon who is a very good talent and Rak Sakyi who I expect will play a much bigger role next season at Palace or on loan.
Koopmeiners should also rise to +1 been one of the best in Serie A this season and I’ve got some very good young midfielders on the way up too especially Lavia.
Defensively I’m pretty happy. I think Le Normand, Rüdiger, Tomori and Zabarnyi all have a little more room to grow. Aguerd should be good for an 89/90 at some point too. LB I think is strong depth wise for now.
I think Pope will get a +1 and then want to see how he starts next season. There is an outside chance of Pope in a champions league side going higher.
Neuer is still one of the best GKs in the world so I’m quite happy to keep him unless someone wants to offer youth for him. As he’s a GK and the chances of signing another 95 rated one is impossible he’s worth just keeping.
Im open to part exchanging one of them now though.
I’m always in favour of just rising when they perform and dropping due to poor form even if it means a more volatile environment.
I’ve had this discussion previously so trust me you’re preaching to the converted here.
Yep, really need a 93+ striker to win the league imo regardless of how the 11 is otherwise. That's why the Kane for Bruno deal is something I did right off the bat when I took over even though it was guttingThe only way is down from here
You might need to put Sterling there but then you're in the awkward situation of not having a 91+ winger, though I'm sure it won't be long until Gakpo is there.. and then there's the issue of David's lack of versatility and Sterling probably going to continue to go down in rating with the way Chelsea are... tough situation.
Nice and balanced team. Quality all around but needs that extra quality in the front 4.
My team is the absolute opposite. High quality attacking 4 but 90s everywhere else
-----------92------
89---91----91---90
-------90----90---
93-------93------95
-----------95
Think Son may drop to 94 but Gavi should get 91. Mendy is fecked so will need a new GK soon.
My team is a bit crazy at the moment thanks to Pep and Klopp (expected ratings after review):
-----------94------
92---94----92---94
-------93----94---
93-------93------92
-----------96
My depth is worse than dogshit though and, it doesn't matter how highly rated my back four is my conceded % is shocking.
If Trent has his position change reverted then I'll have a 91 rated player in midfield but I think Southgate playing him in midfield both games over the international break has cemented it.

That's an insane team and yeah, gifted 2 elite mids thanks to Pep and klopp. Don't think TAAs position will be taken away so you're golden.

Ramos will be gone soon, but yes, the depth for LB and striker is horrendous, and my wing positions are a problem with most of the current players who can play there unlikely to in 2-3 seasons.Damien’s depth.
