Southie_Owl Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Too many Wednesdayites are playing championship manager for my liking .... perhaps they should forward their recommendations to the club ....... Don't worry I hear they already have a committee in place for that kind of thing. Surprised you havent to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Too many Wednesdayites are playing championship manager for my liking .... perhaps they should forward their recommendations to the club ....... Also, this is a very odd attitude to take. Don't get me wrong, a game should never replace what you can learn from real life stats, observations and performances... but these games are so successful because they try to build a reputable and accurate database. If someone is good in a game, chances are they're not that bad in real life... errors are becoming increasingly rare. Not all good players in games are good players in real life- either through lack of ability or not being able to settle into the country, system etc. Equally, not all bad players in games are bad players in real life- but in general they correlate accurately more often than not...

Which is why some Prem teams actually bid to have first look at the databases each year so they can scout players that look good. Prem teams actually use FM to scout players. Incerdible isn't it. Bit no, according to some we shouldn't bother as they are 'only games'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prem teams actually use FM to scout players. Incerdible isn't it. Bit no, according to some we shouldn't bother as they are 'only games'. I was an FM researcher for half a decade. Everton signed a deal with SI to ensure they saw the completed database early to help them identify targets; which they would subsequently look at further using software such as Prozone, WhyScout and ultimately then send scouts to watch the most promising targets.

Please see the posts highlighting that Premier League clubs use the Football Manager database to identify targets- to the extent that Everton signed an exclusive rights deal with Sports Interactive. Best let the Everton scouting network know one of their methods is crap though, I'm sure they'll appreciate the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' i told you so ' ..... i'm just concerned ,,,,, No worries just messing, I can understand why you might be worried but the general opinion is the unknown foreigners are good players. I feel it may take a month or so to perfect but then we will have a good team 👠and btw I'm usually very pessimistic Edited August 1, 2015 by Southie_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Another thread that's complete and utter shyte. It might work, it might fail, nobody knows. Had you heard of Vydra, Abdi or Forestieri before Watford signed them? I highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
