Unfortunately it's not quite as obvious anymore as the game doesn't just regenerate a young player in the mould of a recently retired one. So you won't suddenly get a brilliant but injury prone English midfielder when Gazza retires.
Instead it works a bit more random and a bit more dynamically. It can throw up hilarious names though as the naming process is random I think. I once had 'Lennon McCartney'. Surely a programmer has put that in...

What a shame. Everything was so much simpler in the old days. I used to love filling up my shortlist at the end of the season with brilliant but ancient players then when they all regenerated in the close season your list would be full of the new young regenerated player who you could then pick up for 25k from Altrincham or whatever

I remember a particular bug being that a player's stamina would go down as they got older then the regen would pick up that low stat so if you had a game going for like thirty or forty seasons every single player ended up with 1 for stamina. Think they may have fixed it for later versions

My favourite is when it throws up names that can be first or surnames - I have seen Ryan Ryan, George George, Jack Jack etc

Yeah Plettenberg mentioned it earlier on in the window that Lepzig could accept a option for a loan, Loan with a option would be good

He has seemingly had an average season last year in most metrics.
But if he can bring the attacking threat he had at Feyenoord he will be incredible here.
Just on the numbers it seems like he is a really good passer of the ball with good physical attributes. I think he makes complete sense in our position, he won't be required to start but there is enough raw ability for us to take a punt and not be reliant on him being brilliant.
I think he is my pick of who we have been linked with.

Said in another thread (or this one) that I've no idea whether defensive stats are skewed by games, positions played, formations, club etc.He has seemingly had an average season last year in most metrics.

I've really no idea and trust the club with their judgements. But based purely on the defensive stats section of the fbref full scout report he can't defend.
Lots of positives as you say. Purely on stats I like the young Belgian kid, Says. This guy and Says then...

Why have you turned into a statto GP? We already have one of those (although a less verbose one might be welcome).

I've taken it upon myself to look at fbref for all our targets - probably a bit sad but you can work out types we are profiling and play the 'do they fit what I expect to see' games while working out expected strengths/weaknesses etc.
Obvs I won't be staying we should/shouldn't be buying players because of this - stats are one thing, and quite probably not reliable.
But yes, when things stand out I'll mention.

According to those stats he canāt block, tackle, intercept, clear it, or win the ball in the air. I like my full backs to be able to do some of those things.He has seemingly had an average season last year in most metrics.

Or didn't have much defending to do, which would certainly be the case at Feyenoord. Which is the problem when looking at 'volume' based rankings.
It's the flip-side with the possession/creative numbers. Feyenoord would've dominated the ball in 90% of their matches, so his numbers would always look great in that regard.

Yeah, I wondered about volume, and it's probably why the Leicester guy can defend and this guy can't according to their metrics.
I did like the look of the Belgian kid since he had good defensive stats, outstanding carrying and very good passing.

It doesn't mean he can't, it just means he doesn't do it much.
As an example, he is 25 out of 100 percentile in aerial duels won, but he is 96/100 in percentage of aerial duels won which means he wins most of the ones he goes up for.
He is amongst the lowest for "dribblers tackled", but again - the percentage of dribblers tackled he is amongst the best which means he takes the ball off people running at him most of the time.
Van Dijk has rubbish defensive stats for this reason too.

This seems quite a definitive statement. You've got info?

According to Transfermarkt he also has a good amount of games at CB (unsure how accurate that data is).
Useful in keeping defensive players from taking up too many bench spots.
