If you go onto their site, Fifa 18 career mode, find the player, it'll tell you their ratings but also their ratings in different positions. Really handy.

Cheers Marky, SoFiFa does the same. Unless I have missed something it doesn't say how their overall rating goes on to affect their ratings for pace, shooting etc though.

So https://www.futwiz.com/en/fifa18/player/lucas-torreira/39623

Torreira is 77 for a CDM and his acceleration is 82. If I play him as a CB (where he is rated 68), how does it affect the acceleration rating of 82? Does it go down by the same amount (so in this case by 9)

I don't think it affects the individual ratings in that way. If you are 82 quick up front, you are going to be 82 quick at FB.

It probably takes into account the skills required for each position and works out a rating based on those skills

If that's the case then really it doesn't matter if you play someone out of position if you feel their individual ratings could suit a different position?

Interesting that really if true. I would expect it to penalise you in some way.

My plans for the reboot are already in the public domain

Well it penalises you to the extent that they might be rated at 82 at CB, but would then be, say 78 at FB and 77 at DM, so the more out of position a player is played, the worse they will be.

The bit I'm not quite sure about is that all players have the same ratings on the left hand positions as on the right hand positions. I disregard this a little as I work on the basis that if they have a low rating on their weak foot, they are always going to be cutting on to their strong foot

I'll trial a few games over the weekend with players really out of positions (Aubameyang at CB, Silva up front etc) and see how it plays out.

In the meantime though... Miky/Tino...tactics still required

But is that bit true? Obviously playing a striker in a CB role will have a knock on effect because they were have low standing/sliding tackle ratings. But say I had I had a CM, who was relatively quick, strong and had reasonable defending stats. If I played them at FB the overall rating will go down even though i feel they have the right attributes to succeed there and, we assume as you said earlier, that their individual stats such as acceleration and strength won't change no matter where they are put.

I suppose the question is if someone is rated 82 at CB and 78 as FB, what actually changes? Does a lower rating in another position actually change anything?

It doesn't actually change the player ratings - i.e. the shooting, passing, tackling ability.

It's more a recommendation from fifa not to play the player in a specific position. Playing full backs at centre back was my plan as they tend to be fast with good tackling ability.

But yeah, if you play aubemayang as a cb he'd still have the incredible pass but will screw up tackles.

If you played a back three, you could comfortably get away with playing either a LB or a CB as the LCB, same with a RB or a CB at RCB.

yo

sorry been manic. tactics on the way

cheers sweetcheeks

anything for you (well apart from Salah)

Am I right in saying the earliest we would reboot is September (for Fifa 19)?

In which case there's probably time to get a third season out of this?

We're at week 8 now so another 10 weeks of season 2. That'd take us until the beginning of August. I'm then on hols from the 10th to 17th so we'd only have 4 - 5 weeks after that for a season.
I'd say we do something with those weeks but probably not a full season.

I’m also off 17th to 31st August. I suspect a few people will be in the same boat over August.

Yeah what I'm thinking is for those few weeks we run a European competition using the teams?

Hang on so is this the final season?

Here's my big idea to make Season 3 work in a shorter timescale.

At the end of Season 2, Top 5 into League A, Bottom 5 into League B, fewer fixtures but still means we have a competitive Season 3 and also gets done in time.

Sounds a good idea to me

Well if we're rebooting my 72m signing of an 81 rated Salah was pointless. Does anyone want him?

I'll give you Cutrone + Dzeko + Rodri for him

Brooksey79 wrote:Well if we're rebooting my 72m signing of an 81 rated Salah was pointless. Does anyone want him?

Isn’t he 87 rated?

I'm sure his standard card is 81

Sorry 83...

I think he got upgraded to 85 in the winter, that's what happened to him on ultimate team.

I'm not sure. I just presumed that the players were the default rating

He's either 85 or 87. Hero can confirm which one. If you do decide to sell him I can offer your boy Cutrone in a deal.

To be fair Tino if you get a lawyers offer you could probably buy Dybala/Griezmann so worth hanging onto

Salah is 86

Morning. Any more thoughts on the below idea to ensure we fit in a Season 3?

Didn't see it the first time but happy to run with it!

I'm just so against the idea of another v2 league ending after 2 seasons, that's all.

Could also just do a tournament, with the two groups of 5, top 2 in each group make the semi finals

I totally agree in regards to reboots on here but I also think we've got a league set up now that's got people interested again. We get the framework right for when Fifa 19 comes in and it should make for an epic league going forward.

I really want a long standing league but we did also say that this season would be a trial run for a FIFA league where we could start small and go for a really long league once FIFA 19 is out.

Happy with any kind of plan that fill the gaps although it will also coincide with holiday season.

Is anyone able to do Lawyers and injuries?

I can’t manage it this week as I’m in Pembrokeshire with intermittent signal and my phone

I will do Injuries

Can someone do mine whilst i do them

I'll do yours in a sec

In regards to next season what level shall we start at?
And how do we cap/slow the level of players coming in?

Did you get a chance to do this? Be interested to know how it went?

Hero wrote:You may regret asking...

Simone Verdi got changed to Sime Vrsaljko as I sold Verdi to Lawyers last week.

Sorry to pester but any chance of some lawyers.

Then I can get my tactics finalised for Hero

Bunch of slackers, thought I'd be able to do transfers and leave tactics to hero before I fly out tomorrow

Ditto. Did tactics thinking I could sell and buy a couple, and just change a couple of names
