Anyone ever just get one of those players that doesn't seem to take the game seriously, I picked up a newgen on a free transfer, and now I know why he was cut after just one season.

Unprofessional attitude and a victim complex. It's a shame because he could have been a great player, but I rid myself of him after he was caught out at the pub after a reserves game, and didn't make it to training the next day.

Me and Dave Wilson went out last night. cracking laugh. He couldn't take his drink though. Especially when he woke up with that silly woman that we took to my hotel in wales. she was very drunk and wanted 2 signed shirts. she looked over 16. we took her up to the hotel and then...

Shit happens mate. its really good that the game recognises that to an extent...safe outlet I guess.

fine him and make him train with the reserves until he comes back grovelling. if not, get rid. you're the boss. he clearly needs guidance from an older more professional player so try that.

Nothing against it happening, I just thought it was funny. I tried the guidance, but he was still a little problematic so I sold him off. He was a decent prospect but not worth the problems when I had better prospects for his position. Honestly more surprised it doesn't happen as much in the lower levels.

In my FM15 Real Madrid save, I found a gem of a newgen. Pau, Spanish GK. Played for Barcelona, so needed to pay £27m to get him, aged 18. I found him using FMRTE, which I use for scouting, CA was low (95-ish), but PA of 195. What I failed to check was his controversy stat (20) and professionalism stat (1). He never progressed, failed to show for training at least once a month, always on the poor performance in training list. Every time, I would fine him for unprofessional behaviour, spoke to him about his poor training, and each time he kicked off. After 18 months I got fed up and released him on a free, but kept him on my shortlist to track him. Signed for Marseille, played a handful of games, always missing training, they ran down his contract then let him go. Think he spent 2 years floating around on a free. Checked his stats again, CA had dropped into the 80's. Never seen a bigger waste of talent in the game. Like you say, keeps it interesting.
