  1. Bikram baidwan

    I didn’t know where to ask these questions so I’m just posting them here. They are regarding manager career mode players potential, growth, injury.

    1. If a player gets injured than does that mean his “potential growth” stops completely? Like will their stays won’t grow anymore? (I had Koscielny in my Arsenal manager career mode and he got injured for 3 months. When he came back his acceleration and sprint speed decreased -1. And now I’ve been playing with him for 3-4 months and yet his acceleration and sprint speed is still -1. Now I have an 18 year old and 24 year old player who are injured for 8 days and 4 weeks respectively. So, will they never reach their potential anymore? They will just stay as they are or barely some of the stats will grow but not till their told potential?
    2. I heard something about “a players potential gets locked when you sign them”… What does it mean by potential getting locked when you sign that player? Does it mean like they won’t grow above their specific potential and growth rating? (Like ea posted a young players potentail list and futhead and futwiz’s website tells you players potentials and growth.)
    3. If yes, than here is my next question. I bought David Alaba in the beginning of the season and played him in most of the matches until January, but only one or two his stats grew +1 and his Overall rating stayed the same; compared to other players whose many stats grew +1 and their overall as well. So here’s my question regarding this. Like David Alaba there were some other players who had an overall close to him and their growth was told to be +3, same as Alaba’s as told by the futhead and futwiz websites, but yet their overall and stats grew but not Alaba’s that much, WHY?
    4. Also another question regarding my 2nd question in the list. I bought David Alaba, played with him till January, and than sold him in January transfer window. So my questions is: Like stated by the futhead website that Alaba will grow +3 to become 88 rated, will he grow till that even without being in my team? Or will he just stay the same like he was in my club and don’t grow and reach his potentail anymore?
    5. This is also regarding the #2. Question about “locked potentail growth stuff” on the list. Take for example I want to buy an “unknown” player who is young and like it says on futhead and other websites that he will grow and his overall would increase as well. So, If I buy that ” unknown” player in the transfer window, play and increase his stats, than sell him in the next transfer window, and than buy him back in the next transfer window. Will he be able to grow again in my club or will he not grow anymore even though it says on the websites across the web about that players potential and growth will increase?

    I know it’s all messy and probably confusing as well. But these are really important questions I wanted to ask. You people are most knowledgable about this stuff and I only trust your guys source. Any help would be appreciated in answering ALL OF THESE questions that I asked above with a question mark at the end. Thank you.

    1. Hi.
      Let’s try to help:
      1) He probably will not grow during the injury. However, as soon as he is back, he may grow or not.
      2) I don’t think it is true.
      3) The potential is merely indicative. That was a coincidence. To grow up, a player needs to play and to be happy.
      4) He potentially will grow up even after moving to other club.
      5) Yes, you will be able.

  2. Does a player has to show a specific status to reach a potential rating? Like I have Pogba whose potential is to reach at least 93; as stated by websites. But his status shows “Has Something Special” which is just a flair trait. So, my question is will I have to loan him and try to get his status to change to “Has Potential to be Special” for him to get to 93? Or are different types of statuses shown on players just to show us an estimate of what kind of potential overall rating that player can achieve?

  3. Does it mean dat we cannot play any kick off match with either club or country except the single player tournament ?

  4. Of these 3 strikers which one should I get rid of ? Cristi Gonzales,Dominic solanke or Thierry Ambrose??

  5. Harry Edwards

    I don’t think he is under 19, but Maximillian Meyer is a really good young player, at age 20 he is already 82 rated. And in my Barcelona career mode, he is almost at an 88 rating.
    Meyer is a cheap player from FC Schalke if I remember correctly.

    1. Hi.
      He’s 20. That’s the reason he is not in this players selection. However, as you say, he is a brilliant player. For that reason, he is one of the our favourites as you can see here.

  6. Hello i have 3 midfeilders i want to sign to have a young team and replace vidal (30), lahm (34) and reus (28)
    The three i chose Ross Barkley, youri tielemans and memphis depay
    Do you think this is a good desision for a VERY young side?
    P.s this is my 3rd or 4th year ….. and i already have paul pogba

  7. Hello Rodrigo, I was wondering what 4 players I shall sign to Atletico Madrid, they already have a few good young players but would like to add some. Preferably 2 midfielders and 2 defenders.. Rabiot? Meyer? Any defenders? Thanks

    1. Hi.
      That is a good team. However, you can improve it. If I was you, I would start by selling Ibra and getting someone much younger for his place (Embolo?).
      Take a look here to our favourites CM players.

  14. ssebuliba steven

    Timo Horn
    Mason Holgate
    Tin Jedvaj
    Jaiiro Reidewald
    Andrew Robertson
    Youri Tielemans
    Len Hallilovic
    Adryan
    Leroy Sane

    Vaclav Cerny (433 false9)
    OTHERS

    Jeremiah st Juste
    Gimenez
    Richedley Bazoer

    Cedric
    Van Dijk
    Fonte
    Bertrand
    Sane
    Tielmanns
    Sergi Roberto
    Mane
    Tadic
    Long

    I know I need a new GK and CB but who?

  16. Best team ever?

    Starting my 6th season, won the Champions League with Luton Town last year.

    Slowly assembled my team and ended up with a starting 11 as follows:

    ST – Breel Embolo – Switzerland
    ST – Divock Origi – Belgium
    CAM – Youri Tielemans – Belgium
    LM – Leon Bailey – Jamaica
    RM – Williams – Spain
    CDM – Danilo – Brazil
    LB – Rico Henry – England
    CB – Jonathan Tah – Germany
    CB – Reece Oxford – England
    RB – DeAndre Yedlin – United States
    GK – Alban Lufont – France

  17. Luton Town
    Season 6
    Won Champions League in Season 5 – but by playing, not simulating

    Here is my team, and where I play them

    F
    Breel Embolo
    Divock Origi
    Benjamin Tetteh

    M
    Youri Tielemans
    Leon Bailey
    Williams (Spain – Bilbao)
    Danilo (Brazil – Valencia)
    Charly Musonda
    Andy Kawaya
    Julian Green
    David Henen

    D
    Rico Henry
    Jonathan Tah
    Reece Oxford
    DeAndre Yedlin
    Carlos Blanco

    GK
    Alban Lafont
    Jack Ruddy

    Question is, in reality are the wingers I use as midfielders feasible? In other words could they actually play mid or are they purely offensive players and I should look for more two-way guys (offense and defense)?

    Thanks.

    Any Suggestion should I sign James back?

    1. It´s not good. It’s perfect.
      Bring Varane back and Laporte to the bench if you have enough money. Berardi isn’t a must buy bt he will be a decent addition to your team.

  23. My Second Season with Arsenal:
    GK: Courtouis(86)
    RB:Bellerin(78)
    RCB:Koscielny(85)
    LCB:Gabriel(80)

    LW:Hazard(89)
    RW:Bale(89)
    ST:Griezmann(83)
    I’m planning to do 6 more Seasons with this so could you tell me which players Under the Age of 21 I should get and the players I should keep right now.
    Thanks!

  24. Hey Rodrigo,
    So I’m planning on starting a career mode but I have a question. So lately there’s been all these transfers in real life like Ibra to united and Higuain to Juventus and etc… so on my game I just manually transfered these players to their clubs since the games hasn’t updated the rosters. My question is, should I start a career mode with the original rosters or the updated ones? Because like if I did one with Juventus for example, they’re already stacked, plus all their transfer budget is still there so it wouldn’t be any fun you know…?

    I need an amazing winger…….

    1. Yes, you can use Alli in that position.
      Gomes and De Bruyne are a better option but Tielemans and Bazoer should be used in less important matches to give them the chance to grow up.
      You can see the best wingers here.

  36. Muhtasim Alvi
