Franck
Johan Audel is his name and in 23 matches he has managed to score 3 goals, wasted probably 30 good scoring chances, played us out of the French Cup against a Ligue 2 club, missed a game-deciding penalty shot and earned a horrendous 6.30 average rating. He's far from the worst player I've had in terms of attributes, but in actual on-the-pitch performance he's the worst I've ever seen.
What are your worst horror stories?

That's incredible!

I never understood why he couldn't score. He had the ability and was surrounded by world class players but just couldn't do the business. Think I ended up selling him for about £10m to either Marseille or Milan, can't remember. I would load up the save if I could but I lost it when my laptop died last year

My question to you is, why did you keep him for so long?
bmg033
Nobody would buy him from me and I didn't want to pay to release him. Also he was a young player so I hung on to him for a bit just incase he improved.

I've had plenty shite down the years, can't be bothered to dust the cobwebs and trawl my mind archives. So I shall give you a player from my current game. 19 games into a season with Palermo in 2050. Vittorio Di Martino. CM I got from Chievo, had my eyes on him being a starting MC alongside some Nigerian I nabbed from Genoa. So far Di Martino has averaged a 6.7 and a 34 year old Romanian is keeping him out the side.

My worst player is now Leonard Trgovcevic. A Croatian AMRL ST whom I nabbed on a free from Liverpool, just turned 24 and pace to burn. Hasn't caught any sort of form since joining and I had him pegged as my starting AMR. Hoping he comes into his own in the second half of the season / after reading this.

2050, amazing effort that!

Managed to be nice striker before i signed him, he scored 20 goals in 30 games at Napoli

haha I guess that shows you the quality difference at the time between the leagues.

It can be one of or a combination of things, from stats such as consistency, adaptability to his confidence levels, injuries, your tactics not suiting him, etc
You'll never nail it 100% everytime, I've signed players who I thought would suit my tactics perfectly, everything seemed to be lined up. But for whatever reason the stars just never aligned. On the flipside I've signed players for backup roles and they've ended up exceeding my expectations and landing starting berths.
At this point I now avoid players who the scouts find to be injury prone or inconsistent (unless they are under 22 as a lot of players under that age are listed as inconsistent)

Averaged 6.2 - 6.7 Every game, truly awful. Didn't even chip in with the off assist or goal.

I bought him for some silly amount of money when I was playing with Hamburg on FM14 and he was absolutely amazing.

I always see Arsenal transfer list him after about 2 or 3 seasons and I managed to buy him for Middlesbrough for about £5m.

FM15 underrates central midfielders who don't constantly produce goals and assists, the average ratings don't reflect the actual play.

cant believe Ajax once paid £16.25m for this tosser in 2008...
Tyrion Lannister
NOO!?? he was quality for my network arsenal game in 2013 and 2014. i hasten to add that my quality scouts didn't rate him for my Fulham team when i got promoted in my first season in FM15....
Marc Stendera the best!!!

His failed transfer to Ajax in real life was what really spurred on Cruijff returning to the club and trying to get them to rediscover their academy routes.
I've had many an imaginary argument with my scouts during my time with Palermo. They just don't seem to rate any player as good enough to play for us, yet when such a player joins both the ast man (JCA 20 JPP 17) and my head of youth development (20 20) seem to love them. Must be some sort of rep issue down somewhere down the line

I sold him for £20m to Southampton two seasons later. I'll never sign him again!
