I created the PERFECT STRIKER in FM22 and this happened... 

That's a really good point I hadn't thought of!

@@TomFM You might also want to consider the lack of player traits. A lot of them influence the desire to strike on the net. "Takes Long shots" and "Hits first time shots" would dramatically improve his shots/minute. Also, some of the personality modifiers use to be better at 1 and not 20, Injury Proneness for example. Controversy determines "feisty" behaviors to managers. Not sure if high levels is a positive thing or if its inverted. A more mid line value on Sportsmanship might allow the player to take some.... graceful advantages.... when the opportunity arises. High Loyalty might force the player to stay at the club, even though he is not really suited for that clubs play style. I have a feeling that a players "approach to the game" might have a larger influence on outcomes, PROVIDED they have the stats to back up their approach, AND the tactics allow them to execute their approach properly.

I did this with a custom tactic and he got 108 goals in a season 🤣🤣

​@@garisonhayne668 yeah, i played long ago, and there was a guy randomly generated? or just really high roll. his stats were 12-14 in most offensive stuff, so like 60%ish, maybe 2 things above 18. but he had 5-6 skills, and he was a super beast, easily best player each game. also, psychological traits? havent played lately but it was a thing, that he reacts differently to different instructions and coaches and events, so morale might depend on it. one time i had a few real life guys, old fm, like 2006, i had signed Corluka and Modric from Zagreb, and a national league guy who was in real life signed, they all had traits, and was able to teach them to youngsters, i had a 16 yo central def, who was generated in my academy, he had 4-5 traits from 2 guys, scoring from corners mainly, then i trained a right midfielder into both full back positions and focused him on speed and stamina, Milan snatched him for 24 mill, then a few attackers into running behind defense. I even had a guy from second league, who scored 31-35 there, with only 10 pace and maximum jump and header, and he was doing the same for me, better than best strikers around. kinda like a Bergkamp, as my other guy was 20 off the ball 18 pace and decent other stats, as my 'Henry' in that formation.

@@laszlobandi6456 I use a lot of mentorship programs. I sign old players with low overall potential but great mental stats ( Enjoys big games, high consistency), and some key traits, like long shots and uses outside foot. They typically can be signed for very cheap long term contracts, with very low play times. This is likely do to high injury rates during their career , or some similar issue like existing at a poor club. As a mentor, things like injury proneness are a mute point. I set these gentlemen into mentoring groups of 3, and I bring up all my star-lings from the under 18s. The young ones go into these groups, typically 3 in each. Beyond being in this mentorship program, the oldies do absolutely NOTHING else. They are only there to sway my young players and transfer traits. So, my young players spend the next year chilling with the oldies, subbing in the main team, and generally building relationships with the squad.If you pick your mentors correctly, the typical outcome is a high increase in determination, and teamwork. You can get a spike in consistency and "enjoys big games" which is essential for full potential realization. They are likely to garnish a trait or two as well. By the time these younglings are ready for full first team activity, they will already have gained the traits and relationships you need to integrate them.

Yep including the rooney aggression

Rooney IS the perfect footballer

@@onose10000 fat and mentally handicapped? Sounds more like the perfect gamer

exactly, but 20 temperament is good i think

20 aggression is also good.

@@lconnerz100 with 1 dirty play yes

Controversy is pretty bad

@@lconnerz100 with the injury proeness no, agression and bravery is good for beefy dmc, but might get him in trouble unless custom tactics.

I LOVE this idea! Thanks!

should of been 1 as Ibrahimovic :D kay, cnat complain her got back to Milan, but probably he was only after money for several years.

Ah yeah, injuries would have been rife! Something to think about for future experiments.

@@TomFM having dirtiniess and controversy set high in the hidden attributes also isn't exactly the best thing to have for a good player. Those stats are considered "good", when their value is as low as possible.

Wouldn't it show up on the positions as at least red if he was being played anywhere else though? (He seems to have been played as an attacking midfielder a bit, so maybe you are correct)

it would show the positions AT LEAST in red (if they were closer to green, then it means he got better in that position, indicating he was most likely played in that position a lot) He was played as a ST, in very few games as an attacking midfielder, so no, we can't explain his lack of goals by him not being played as a ST

I think you're spot on!

He almost exclusively played as a striker you can see it on the position graph on the left throughout the entire video

Agree with all of this there’s so much more to it than wacking a load of stats on a player. Harry Kane is a real life example for this where he’s so good at everything that a lot of his time is spent doing everything else not just trying to stick it in the net. Also the team around him is going to make a huge difference the fact Liverpool only won 4 premier leagues in around 20 seasons with this guy in the team would strongly suggest that actually they didn’t always have the best players around him. Little bit much at the end to say ‘oh everything’s just random numbers and people have little effect on the out come’ when there’s so much context not even begun to be explored.

yeah, also there arent players like that. even messi had like 5-7 in def stats. also there were a few presets on the spider, and i got used to looking at that to figure out his style. like the creative amc, the slow deep laying midfielder, the fast wing backs, etc. they were also perfect a what they do and overall wasnt too high attributes

He won't attempt to do everything, he will do what his role description is (exm. Advanced foward = move into channels, dribble more, get further foward), just because he has 20 tackling doesnt mean he will go running around the pitch tackling everybody if he's playing as a striker, he will stay in his position doing striker things

That's what happens when you train at Boston for two years! :D

Incredible 😂

He would pass more only if his player instruction said so not because he has good passing, so no thats factually incorect

Also he almost never comes off the bench when you click on individual seasons which idk if that means the club is being super cautious with his injuries or super well not cautious Also he has 20 loyalty so he will never leave and accept pretty mediocre contracts probably as long he's playing for a club that's winning things (ambition 20)

Oh jesus is the higher match rating a thing still? LOL I'm using an older fm (laptop limitations) and it's amazing to see it still influences awards. You can score 70 goals in a season and lose the Ballon D'or to someone who got a .09 better rating :D

Why would high defensive stats hamper his ability to at least have one premier league season with 30+ goals as a striker playing in Liverpool. He is after all the perfect striker.

​@@kenanmujkic1555this is an old post. But remember the AI is in control here. The ai might be putting them on corners all the time or even sometimes using them in deeper positions because everything is maxed out. If you just have the basics maxed put for striker the AI will not start putting them on random stuff. Like he wont get put on corners if you made it low level. As an example. Probably get more goals this way. I can give you real life examples of excellent forwards who get played in deeper positions for the benefit of the whole team.
