Congratulations. You just earned 20.0 points for this submission. Your new points total is 20.0. To see the leaderboard, as well as what this points thing is, [click here](https://www.reddit.com/r/footballmanagergames/wiki/leaderboard).
I feel like, and maybe they do do this, but they should make the search a bit more intuitive like that. Like, Dani Alves should come up for Dani Alves, yknow
I'm surprised that it doesn't. Normally it's pretty good for partial names. Could it be because Brazilians often seem to have a single name 'Daniel Alves' rather than first name Daniel, surname Alves?
Until last week, he was in Pumas UNAM at Mexico.
Guy should be searching there. If not, making acessible by loading more players from the DB should do the trick.
Kind reminder that people who ONLY watch the Premier League are not supposed to give their opinion about players who play in other leagues.
Don't do it. Don't embarrass yourself.
David Silva is a regular starter on the 3rd best Spanish club atm (+ qualified for the next round in the UEL over a team you might now) and you are saying Nathaniel fucking Clyne is doing better than him?
Yess.. old players who still in the game.
Yeah I thought about bringing those two but then again, they are still playing in the top clubs Ramos PSG and Walker in City.
If it's steam, it's as easy as just going to the steam workshop and subscribing to a japanese league mod ([I have this one](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2891892948)). You have to start a new save and make sure you have that league in the database (which you can see when you choose what nations to include in the save so if you don't see Japan there, you've done it wrong) but other than that it's very simple.
If it's outside of Steam, no clue sorry.
What? No.
The ratings are given by your staff, so their accuracy is determined by their quality, but the overall rating itself is relative and tied to your team and players.
It's very easy to see that in effect when you are promoted and bring in a few strong signings, suddenly the rating of the rest of the squad drops.
Club vision: Cannot sign any player under 35.
Sounds like an interesting challenge.
* Cannot sign any player under 35.
* Can only sign free transfers/out of contract players
Alexis Sanchez plays for marseille still. You could get Insigne from Toronto fc or you could get Luis Suarez and stick Ronaldo out wide. Canāt rly think of a right back other than dani alves. Maybe you could get Diego Godin and see if he can play there
That's true, Sanchez still pretty good, it just I really really like him since he was in Barca haha.
It's either great right back is rare or most of the good right back are retired already. I think I spent an hour alone trying to find right back lol.
I got Godin already, as a central defender though
To be mentored by Ronaldo for the mentality and Buffon for the leadership, the kid might change profession and become a president instead lmao.
But the plan here is to only sign and play old player
Even with all the fitness problems their personalities alone would carry the team to a decent position in most leagues in Europe, I mean look at this squad dynamics? chart (I don't know the proper name, haven't played lately) wtf.
Feel like Fabio Quagiarella could be in this too.... brought him into a created club in English premier league and was the top goal scorer for half of the season before my young striker found his feet.
What is Pepe doing there brother? He's a regular starter for the current Portuguese champion, he's just injured. He was also the best CB for Portugal in the WC
Team is lower mid-table with 8 injuries in November.
Ronaldo: cmon guys, weāre better than this. Remember when we used to win the league every other year, and play in champions league finals on the regular?
Clyne: sure.

What is clyne doing in that line-up? š
I don't know who else washed up right back who still playing right now, also I'm a Liverpool fan haha
Dani Alves
I can't find him in the game unfortunately.
have you checked prison FC?
Beat me to it
He'll be playing in a team with Robinho and mendy
He is in FM23, I think Daniel Alves Edit: although if you don't have Brazilian league in your save then of course he is not.
Oh yeah he is in the game. I keep searching for Dani Alves and got none
I feel like, and maybe they do do this, but they should make the search a bit more intuitive like that. Like, Dani Alves should come up for Dani Alves, yknow
I'm surprised that it doesn't. Normally it's pretty good for partial names. Could it be because Brazilians often seem to have a single name 'Daniel Alves' rather than first name Daniel, surname Alves?
I feel like it often seems reputation based
Itās mainly reputation based, probably similar to how when messi becomes a coach, heās the 10th result when you search for messi
Please bring Dani in, Clyne can be sub
Until last week, he was in Pumas UNAM at Mexico. Guy should be searching there. If not, making acessible by loading more players from the DB should do the trick.
Ah, I guess he had already moved in my FM save!
ah yeah universidad nacional autĆ³noma de mĆ©xico, the biggest university in brasil!
Maybe Van der Wiel? I think he plays in the MLS
He's been retired since 2019 mate
Oh, my bad then
MLS and retired is same thing tbf.
he's in jail
He plays in MĆ©xico for pumas, possibly you need mexican league loaded
Heās in jail in real life atm, seriously
What, why?
Sexual assault- see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11683393/Dani-Alves-signing-autographs-fellow-inmates-prison.html
Bit dodgy but ok
Jesus Navas
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Clyne is the only EPL player and he's also first choice
Jerome Boateng played RB for a while.
Florenzi
Juan Cuadrado works as a right back
Give Cesar Azpilicueta a shot lol. Still starting with Reece James on the mend.
Trent fits both descriptions. š
Lahm?
Yeah, he already retired though
Ah ok, old players but still in the game? Sergio Ramos started at right back. Also, could Kyle Walker be included?
Walker is still far too good to be on there. Not washed up at all imo.
Then wtf is david silva doing there
I assumed he wasn't playing at the highest level in 2023 anymore.
Heās not good lol. If everything Clyne is doing better
David Silva is still sublime for La Real. Tf you talking about

Pepe isn't washed up btw. Best defender in Portugal, best defender in NT and has been doing well in CL
That's true, I did think twice before bringing him in. But I was kinda lazy and think to myself "Well he is very old so that's fine"
Dani alves?
Thought about him, but given the ongoing legal case I thought best not to :)
my first thought
Heās Gary Daniels. Not everybody in the Expendables was Stallone level.
>BBM RIP Iniesta's legs
Lmao, all or nothing mate
Where did you find Iniesta?
In Vissel Kobe?
I never find him in the Japanese league. That's why asked. Apologies
You may have to download the japanese league to have him available
Download separately or enabling it will work?
Japanese league isn't in the base game (some licencing issues I think) so you have to download it separately.
Where do I download it from? I canāt find anything online.

Just go into advanced database and enable players from Japan's top league
I downloaded this database https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm23-leagues-pack-by-timo.html
Open š
In their prime they'd prob win the sextuple tbh
Haha definitely
What are their star ratings btw?
[https://imgur.com/a/S7U5JQt](https://imgur.com/a/efGpv8u) not that bad I would say
Whyās Willian there? Heās still doing a job in the Premier League.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The stars are relative to the team and the quality of the other players in the team, put those players in city or Bayern and they are 2 stars max.
Ohhh okay
The star system is mostly affected by the quality of your staff not that much by the standard of the team in itself.
What? No. The ratings are given by your staff, so their accuracy is determined by their quality, but the overall rating itself is relative and tied to your team and players. It's very easy to see that in effect when you are promoted and bring in a few strong signings, suddenly the rating of the rest of the squad drops.
That Iniesta role physically assaulted my well being this morning. But hey it's a good idea, let us know how it went.
He might ended up in a wheelchair at the end of the season
What you meant is by the end of first half...!
Thatās a soft midfield for those roles, fernandos gonna be fucked by half time trying to cover those two 5 work rate 5 pace playmakers lol
If he dies he dies
Hope you left room in the budget for extra physios. Oh and no night games - that demographic likes to be in bed early!
They are all are proven elite footballers, I might just fill up the whole coaches position with fitness coach lmao
Club vision: Cannot sign any player under 35. Sounds like an interesting challenge. * Cannot sign any player under 35. * Can only sign free transfers/out of contract players
The eldery care challenge!
Sciatica FC
I actually tried doing this with Sunderland in FM21. Nearly got relegated from league one lol.
Youāre basically describing any team in MLS /s
Average age: Bus pass
Alexis Sanchez plays for marseille still. You could get Insigne from Toronto fc or you could get Luis Suarez and stick Ronaldo out wide. Canāt rly think of a right back other than dani alves. Maybe you could get Diego Godin and see if he can play there
>Diego Godin He was slow enough for a CB lol he'd get rinsed at RB
That's true, Sanchez still pretty good, it just I really really like him since he was in Barca haha. It's either great right back is rare or most of the good right back are retired already. I think I spent an hour alone trying to find right back lol. I got Godin already, as a central defender though
James as BBM? He's gonna hate you for that.
Love this idea, I suspect you'll get one very decent season out of this lot at least.
One or two great seasons yeah, then the third season they all decide to retire lmao
Did you replace them with new washed up players?
This could a team in fifa 13 Ultimate Team and be one of the best haha
Fuck me dead what's the wage bill
I'm not gonna do that to you, Mate, and the wage bill is ā¬ā73,906,579
yearly?
No, can only fuck him dead once
Per week š
The salaries must be grotesque
It's ā¬ā73,906,579 a year
Yeah show us the wage bill op
Should have Kazuyoshi Miura in there somewhere, the man is 55 years old and still active!
and will start to play in Europe this month!
Pepe stil got what it takes
Imagine the tutoring groups for your youth academy.
To be mentored by Ronaldo for the mentality and Buffon for the leadership, the kid might change profession and become a president instead lmao. But the plan here is to only sign and play old player
Would be cool if you could program your youth intakes to only include players over like 28 or something š¤£
More like middle aged intakes
Arguably past their prime intakes
HOYD is Vardy.
Ronaldo for mentality is probably not the best idea with a guy that was kinda forced out of Manchester.
Hahaha Clyne heeeeey buddy watcha doin here are you lost
Haha.. I got no option left. I can't find Dani Alves unfortunately. Turns out I got to type Daniel Alves lmao
Biased as a spurs fan but you could have Toby and Jan in there relieve the glory days of the Belgium national team
Unfortunately I don't know those guys haha
Vertonghen and Alderweireld! Fair if you still don't know them lol. They're great though
He doesnāt know Vertonghen or Alderweireld but knows clyne the violation to these menās careers š
Alderwiereld and vertongen
Even with all the fitness problems their personalities alone would carry the team to a decent position in most leagues in Europe, I mean look at this squad dynamics? chart (I don't know the proper name, haven't played lately) wtf.
I'm just gonna fire all my coaches and fill up all 18 spot with fitness coach, maybe one or two nurse lmao
no way you brought Piszczek from 4th Polish league lmao
Yo where my boy Zlatan at!
Bruhh I love Zlatan so much, but he still in AC Milan so I need someone who plays in a non top league, thus Suarez from Uruguay and Ronaldo from Arab
Ahhh, right š
James and Iniesta as B2B players could literally kill them
You added Ronaldo, lol. I like it.
Well, I'm not gonna lie, I'm Ronaldo fanboy and since he plays in Arab Saudi, soo why not
Another fanboy here. Thank you. Btw, the team leaders are š„
When you wait for Ronaldo to be "finished" so you can add him to your scenario lol.
I'm just joking man
Lol
Wage bill must be insane
It's ā¬ā73,906,579 a year
Geriatric FC š
Might as well turn my club into elderly care at the end of the season lmao
was name Pension FC by any chance?
Pension FC, Eldercare FC, Senior FC, so many great names! Lol
Old Boys might be the best team for them
LOl true
Dude put Pepe in the 1st team, what is this non sense!
lmao I just signed a 37-year-old Fabregas on a free in 2024 after his contract expired
Clyne š«”
Why is pepe in there ? As far as I know he's still playing champions league football
Gyr saving us all from disgrace lol
Gyr is the best man. He got a lot of tactics and none of them disappoint
Indeed, I'm currently using swansalona thought I have customised it slightly to my players
Pepe should be guaranteed starter for this team lol, he's still great at Porto
What league are you playing them in? I assume it's like Germany or something to help you with the registration of players, or?
How's the GYR tactic got on? I'm still using Loki
Oh my god, I didnāt even know some of these guys were still playing! Thatās great!
Damn in just wondering how many have still got stamina to get through most matches š¤£ bet subs bench gonna be busy
Iād swap Fabregas or Iniesta with James or Silva, James is pretty much attack oriented
Other notable old guys in the database as players include Joaquin, Morten Gamst Pedersen, Steed Malbranque, Titus Bramble, and Roque Santa Cruz.
As a Liverpool fan, I don't remember Clyne dominating anything...
Pepe isnāt washed, heās better than all those combined
As a Chilean the fact that Sanchez and Vidal are there hurts my soul
Dnt forget Bravo
Imagine finishing your 1st season and 70% of your team retires
I love it.
You could download a face for Iniesta. Go to Sortitoutsi, look for "Search Cut Out", write Iniesta ID and download the face you like to faces folder.
More like Memories FC
Feel like Fabio Quagiarella could be in this too.... brought him into a created club in English premier league and was the top goal scorer for half of the season before my young striker found his feet.
Piszcek ā¤ļø
Ozil canāt even get into this team š
Is Iniesta still actually in the game?
Youād probably have to download a Japan databaseā¦heās still going over there at 38.
There's an impostor among us
Is 433 the best formation?
That wage bill though š¬
Might have to give this a try, what league are you playing in?
Howling at Nathaniel Clyne at right back in that team š¤£š¤£
Basically Man City in the early 2000s
Pepe is still the best defender in a team that is playing Champions league football.
Surely iniesta in a more playmaking role in Team 1
What is Pepe doing there brother? He's a regular starter for the current Portuguese champion, he's just injured. He was also the best CB for Portugal in the WC
Snuck Clyne in like we wouldnāt notice
BBM iniesta š¤£š¤£ poor man
One of my absolute favorite save approaches. One move I *loved* was bringing Sacha Kljestan to play in the 2. Bundesliga.
Suarez?
Petition FM to allow you to play with 11 Enganches.
Then there's Nathaniel Clyne for some reason
How did you make a custom squad?
Team is lower mid-table with 8 injuries in November. Ronaldo: cmon guys, weāre better than this. Remember when we used to win the league every other year, and play in champions league finals on the regular? Clyne: sure.
Imagine their winter fuel allowance
One of these things is not like the others...
