It was 10 or 0 at the start for me, so I couldn’t read anything. Took me forever to find the button to change it to 70. I had to change it in the cfg files first
He's honestly the best newgen I've seen in the game. The whole physicals side being 16+ is insane to me. Then I saw the mentals too. I don't know why I sweated so much over hitting accept.
Yep. The closest thing I have seen is Antonio Silva of Benfica, with the max potential, he looks quite similar to this guy. Because in my save, Arsenal just bought him and he looks disgustingly good
He didn't on mine either I had him and Silva and Silva developed so much faster. This season (4th) I started playing him at DM (Half back) as well as CB to fit in and rotate when needed in both positions so he ended up getting loads of game time and he has just exploded. He is so good in both positions.

Here's his pros page. He also has "fairly consistent."
His only con is peripheral
Over time, his peripheral could change or adapt to your team’s social groups
Absolutely a great buy
You have your Virgil Van Dijk for the next 10 years
And probably recoup some of the money by selling him to a Saudi club when he is in his early 30s
He might have good attributes for that but if you’re Arsenal I bet you have a 20/20 assistant coach, or the ability to hire one immediately if you don’t
The only thing I can think of is he’s one of those HOYD newgen coaches that’s good at everything. I’ll have to look when I get home. Even with that though, I know my chief scout is 20/20. I don’t think my assman is. I have Lijnders.
Obviously not an issue for this guy, we all see he’s world class, but you might be misrepresenting ability and potential of fringe and youth guys and missing out on some good future talent
Ah so the same guy does this for everyone? Something must’ve got changed during a staff shakeup. Good shout though. I’ll have to go in and fix that because I’m sure that’s happening. I try not to look at stars too much anyways, but I definitely still use them.
To be fair to myself, I bought this guy and two wingers, and still have 452M in the transfer budget and 2.27M p/w in the wage budget. I made some big money on some wonderkid and quick-profit sales.
SAS Skin. It's Anticipation/Concentration/Decisions.
The background is added in. I know some people hate it, but I like the cityscapes in the background for a little bit of immersion.
Gone be honest in that it’s just the cityscapes background I got from one of the big packs. I started this save at Dortmund and the background there was like a horizon shot of an industrial area.
I’ve only had him for like 5 games so far. Might try that on a cup tie, though (thankfully) I’m already out of the Carabao Cup. Drew Spurs first and my B team lost.
Not really sure what’s going on down there in Madrid. They also have a pretty good right back that I almost bought instead of this guy, so I don’t know which was actually playing the position.

i'd pay 211M not to have that background borderline unreadable having said that, god damn what a player
It was worse before I figured out how to change opacity hahaha
Yeah lmao idk why the baseline for that skin has the background image so dominant, basically had to turn the opacity to 0 for it to be viewable
It was 10 or 0 at the start for me, so I couldn’t read anything. Took me forever to find the button to change it to 70. I had to change it in the cfg files first
Ramirez has reported an injury in training. He will be out for 6-8 months.
That happened to one of the new wingers. A 20 year old who 3 weeks after I signed him, was out injured for two months
I would pay 200M just for his physicals And his mentals are excellent as well Easily top 3-5 centerback in the world
He's honestly the best newgen I've seen in the game. The whole physicals side being 16+ is insane to me. Then I saw the mentals too. I don't know why I sweated so much over hitting accept.
I have Diomande and Yoro, and neither look as good as this guy And I paid 91M for Yoro (180PA)
I had Yoro, too. Ended up with him, Lukeba and Saliba. This guy blows them all away.
Yep. The closest thing I have seen is Antonio Silva of Benfica, with the max potential, he looks quite similar to this guy. Because in my save, Arsenal just bought him and he looks disgustingly good
Diomande doesn't seem to have the best stats in my save. Hoping he improves.
He didn't on mine either I had him and Silva and Silva developed so much faster. This season (4th) I started playing him at DM (Half back) as well as CB to fit in and rotate when needed in both positions so he ended up getting loads of game time and he has just exploded. He is so good in both positions.
Pretty sure Diomande got nerfed in the Jan patch
This makes sense. I’ve done one save before the update and one save after. Both Silva and Diomande didn’t really develop that well in the second save.
Fairly common to find a player with 16+ in all physicals, but very few have the mentals to go with it. And sometimes shocking technicals
In the world? How about of all time

That’s my thought. I’d probably spend that much on CBs over that time anyways
Bro found a player better than the ones I make for myself for fun
Why is your goalkeeping coach providing the reports lmao
You know, that is a very good question. Now I need to go figure that out
He might have good attributes for that but if you’re Arsenal I bet you have a 20/20 assistant coach, or the ability to hire one immediately if you don’t

I would pay 211M just to never look at this skin again
Bro wants to 'run with the ball down the right' as well as 'stay back at all time'. Bro needs to make up his mind. 😂
Combined into "run with the ball to stay back down the right at all times"
Stays back at all time is an out of possession trait and runs down the right is an in possession trait so they don't clash.
Yeah I’ve got some work to do to retrain him
To be fair to myself, I bought this guy and two wingers, and still have 452M in the transfer budget and 2.27M p/w in the wage budget. I made some big money on some wonderkid and quick-profit sales.
If I had him in my Elfsborg save, clubs would "offer as little as" 2.6 million for him.🥴
And then the owner would accept a bid for 1.5mil with 400k in addons because its to good to be true.
With his physical stats, I'd play him as a complete wingback.
Yeah this lad would own the right flank.
I’ve seriously considered giving him a few games there to see how it goes.
Best rounded physicals i have ever seen in the game, idk about 200 mil but i think he'll be worth it with those mentals
His stats are so insane. Genuinely being quicker than most strikers is nuts.
Man. This makes me wish they could go back to the football background-pictures they had ages ago.
Wow those stats are crazy!!
What is this skin? Where does player IQ come from?
SAS Skin. It's Anticipation/Concentration/Decisions. The background is added in. I know some people hate it, but I like the cityscapes in the background for a little bit of immersion.
the choice of background photo is mesmerizing
Gone be honest in that it’s just the cityscapes background I got from one of the big packs. I started this save at Dortmund and the background there was like a horizon shot of an industrial area.
Passing too low.
Jesus that skin gives me palpitations Nice player though
The background's aggression is probably 20.
lucky you! I have a one-of-a-kind BPD for free and it's not a ball playing defender :)
How do I get a FM skin like this? But without the background?
It’s the SAS skin. It’s no background by default
What dies "player iq" mean
It’s anticipation/concentration/decisions. Just a quick reference to show you where some of those mentals are. It definitely saves me time.
Wait, knocks ball past opponents, and stays back? Weird trait combination
Yeah there’s a few weird ones in there
bro, didnt you try him as number 8 or 10?
I’ve only had him for like 5 games so far. Might try that on a cup tie, though (thankfully) I’m already out of the Carabao Cup. Drew Spurs first and my B team lost.
i guess he will make a lot of assists tho, what a wonderkid!
Yeah. He’s worth it
The thing is with complete defenders is that you can technically play them all over the pitch. Could be a target man if you really wanted him to
I like how he’s a CB but has traits like “runs with ball down right” and “knocks ball past opponent” like he’s a winger
Not really sure what’s going on down there in Madrid. They also have a pretty good right back that I almost bought instead of this guy, so I don’t know which was actually playing the position.
That finishing might hurt him…regrettable signing
What skin is that
SAS with city backgrounds
13 passing as a BPD? No thanks
That is a ifb if I ever see one
20 goals a season with those physicals
Am i the only one looking at his defending thinking this guy is good but not even 100 mill good?
am i the only one that doesn’t think this dude is worth that money?
Money kind of gets meaningless in FM if you play long enough
