#367550 Steven Gerrard

Search Makelele and see his thread. I've already had a convo. about getting him re-added and it's not possible by these SI guys. The only option is manually adding himself yourself.
BTW this thread is about Gerrard not Makelele!

I'm sorry but I don't understand nor do I want to go to substantial effort just to add an assistant manager. I'm going to read between the lines and assume he can't be added the main data update for FM17 then though as you've not suggested it. So thanks in around about way.

Seriously what's your problem? There's nothing wrong with my English thanks, it is yours which is lacking as is your understanding of how out of order you are.
This post is about MAKELELE, I don't know why you're talking about abilities and those players or why you think this is an appropriate place to do so. It's completely irrelevant and and inappropriate. Please stop interfering with irrelevant nonsense which is detracting from my point (which still hasn't been answered clearly)

#346833 New players that need to be created and added to FM16 database. (FAO The Minsterman)
D_LO_
He's risen to prominence sharply having always been considered comfortably the biggest prospect to have graced the successful academy (an academy which has produced Dean Moxey, George Friend, Tom Nicholls and previous top recruit Matt Grimes of Swansea) He is the son of Exeter legend and Arsenal youth coach Kwame Ampadu. Ethan was part of the Wales' Euro training squad (countries commonly select the biggest prospects to make up the training numbers in order to gain big tournament experience) England have been trying to persuade him to switch but Ethan seems destined for Wales given the lengths they have gone to and his firm ingratiation within their set-up
Ethan can literally play anywhere through the middle. His debut and the majority of his appearances this season for Exeter have been at centre-back despite only being 15yrs old (d.o.b. 14/9/2000) although it's largely accepted he is primarily a deep-lying, ball playing midfielder who is is comfortable on the ball with his balance, passing and close ball control. Given the injuries this season at Exeter and Tisdale's firm belief of playing out from the back however he has slotted in comfortably at the heart of the defence. Ethan has over-taken the likes of Craig Woodman and Tom McCready in the Exeter pecking due to his man of the match performances this season (hence the still conservative 75 rating IMO) Even when these palyers have been fit Tisdale has chosen to play usual centre-backs Jordan Moore-Taylor and Pierce Sweeney in the full-back positions entrusting Ethan at centre-back. He does however lack the physicality as demonstrated by Colchester's second goal at that weekend but this is to be expected. Every game Ethan has played this season he has been one of Exeter's top performers.
He hasn't signed a professional deal with Exeter and as such every top club in the country are being strongly linked. Man Utd and Arsenal in particular with the latter favourites given his dad's youth role there. It's highly likely he'll leave when eligible for a professional contract. Admittedly I believe this will harm his development, so hopefully he can look beyond the short-term. 2/3 years of league two/one football by the age of 18 would be a huge platform for the future, i.e. Dele Alli.
soccerway stats this season: http://uk.soccerway.com/players/ethan-ampadu/440094/
As mentioned I've given him a current ability rating of 75 given his displacement of more seasoned professionals this season. For context I have the likes of Moore-taylor and Troy Brown in low 80s, Sweeney 87, Woodman 75, McCready 73, Harley 81, Oakley 77, Lloyd James 83. 75 seems conservative given this but I've tried to be realistic given lack of experience although I'm in no doubt Ethan will be involved with City squad all season now.
Injuries alone have not resulted in his opportunity, his huge talent has played just if not a bigger role. His international recognition and caps at various youth levels and now professional experience at only 15yrs old in my opinion deserves a potential ability in the realm of 165. His pedigree is just as good, if not better, than his counter-parts at the elite academies.
Positionally I've opted on my personal DB for 20- DM, 20- CM, 18- CB, 17- AM (I'm sure he could play either side also but this hasn't been shown)
I feel he's a pretty big omission from the DB so you might want to consider him for people who may not be aware of what a big talent is missing...

I see a lot of the changes are becoming reliant on the websites I mentioned and that's a bit concerning.

Transfermarkt, eu.database and soccerway should never be used as 'proof'. Stats, yes but up to date squads, no. I've found hundreds of inaccuracies on these sites when doing my own database.
Croft signed a 6-month contract extension with an option until end of season!

and here's his stats for this season (he was involved in the match-day squad two days ago!)
