Sadie Gibbs, Bea Priestley and Jimmy Havoc are gone from AEW.

Edit: and forget about changing FTR to faces, they're definitely heels.

So AEW fixes below. One thing I've noticed is that it is really hard to play as AEW. Most people have poor stats and get booed by the vocal crowd which is incorrect (eg. someone like Darby Allin, who is one of the most over workers in the company, gets booed because of his stats). The solution is to either go through and make adjustments to the stats of basically every worker under contract or change the product to something else that doesn't have a high pass mark for stats but I'm not sure what actually suits AEW besides Wrestling Nerd Nirvana... Anyway, changes below.

Watched season 2 of The Umbrella Academy over the last few days. Was an excellent follow up to season 1, can't wait for season 3!

Antonio Thomas should be under the alter ego of Thomas Santell which he has been going by for ~3 years now and probably classed as a technician.

I honestly can't see De Gea leaving in the summer. Where does he go? There isn't many big teams clamouring for a goalkeeper especially for the fee and wages you'd expect for a transfer re De Gea. 

I also can't see United letting go of a big prospect who could potentially be their goalkeeper for several years. I see United loaning him out again for a year tbh and De Gea getting another season

This is all bar Chelsea putting in a ridiculous bid for Henderson (here's where they go for a swerve and bid for De Gea) 

The only place I see DDG going is maybe back to Atletico if Jab Oblak goes. But if he goes (presumably to Chelsea) it is likely Kepa will be involved in a swap so that leaves DDG out again. So yeah, nowhere really for him to go at this stage.

I have a feeling Henderson will be back at Sheffield United next season. He's too good to be our no. 2 goalkeeper, and too good to get rid of, and I don't think DDG is going anywhere yet.

Is Bale really heralded so lowly that people honestly think he wouldn't walk into the Spurs team right now? 

I think it largely depends on which Bale you get. A motivated Bale, yes, he absolutely would walk into the Spurs (and most others) first team. But getting the petulant child Gareth Bale is a different story and there's no way to guarantee which one you'd be getting.

He's already in the mod as Jimmy Yuta, but I'll update the name and add the alter ego, as for the missing Chikara workers, the ones missing I couldn't find info on hence not adding them.

Yeah that's fair enough. Also Worker Ant II retired via his twitter earlier this month as well.

Sylverhawk should be listed as Wheeler YUTA with the below pic as it is his gimmick since leaving CHIKARA.

Also missing from the database are recent CHIKARA wrestlers Josue Ibanez, Joshua Wells, Xavier Faraday, ZERO, The Spoiler, Donna Rama, Masked Enforcer #2. I haven't seen enough to help out with stats except to know that they're all fairly generic Wrestle Factory graduates except for Masked Enforcer #2 who is obviously quite a bit older and wouldn't surprise me is someone already known working under a mask.

EDIT: Also The Proteus Wheel's manager Professor Nicodemous is missing from the data as well but with CHIKARA done I don't know if he's going to be a thing anymore.

Maguire is a good defender but unfortunately we paid the English tax on him which is why his fee was so high. If he was a foreigner I couldn't see him above 30 or 40m, tbh.

Still Life with Apricots and Pears latest look according to twitter.

Have you tried the Wayback machine?

Anyway here is a Mobius/Blaxstrom/Dylan Black

Danjerhawk is now known as Mach10, Razerhawk is now known as Neowyng and together they are The.Air.Show

Nytehawk doesn't appear to be involved and one of their videos indicated they might not be wearing masks anymore.

The absolute cheek of it when you have a player who's contract is expiring and you get a transfer bid of £0 but with you paying some of their wages

Haaland joined City for £114m at the start of last season, he's scored goals for fun every year. Would have loved him but was out of my price range.

Greenwood scored 7 for Man United last year and then got transfer listed, which is why I got him for less than £40m. He scored 20 in his entire Man United career, which is awful considering he went on loan to Nice for the 21/22 season and scored 18 that year. He has 13 for me already and I'm not in November yet.

In my current game he's not doing well. 3 in 18 games in 19/20, 4 in 26 games in 20/21 and only averaging 6.90s.

In one of my other games where I played as United he replaced an injured Martial and scored nearly a goal a game and was that good that I ended up shipping Martial out the next season. He seems to play better under a human player than the AI.

Only made two signings for Juventus in the summer, 74m for Pepe from Man City, Mason Greenwood for 39.5m from Man United.

After two games, Pepe broke his foot on international duty  he's now out until December.

Greenwood has been a revelation though, 11 goals in 10 games. 

This Juventus team is quite well set up bar weakness in attack. My Chelsea old boys Emerson and Angel Correa are here, along with Ferland Mendy, Ruben Neves, Thomas Lemar, Marco Verratti, and Luis Suarez who they apparently managed to grab on a free transfer. They've got a wealth of good left backs, centre backs and central midfielders, but Suarez was their only striker and they had no decent wing cover (and still don't now Pepe is crocked). Right back is probably my January priority, Danilo is all I've got there.

Greenwood is massively underrated by the FM community. I've gotten great work out of him as an out and out striker and as a right winger right from the get go. If I couldn't get Haaland he'd be my second choice in a heartbeat.

Few NXT things:

Yeah the default angles are now unfortunately not really compatible with getting good ratings.

Edit: Disregard all sorted.

I just sprung for the black one.

"You can have 35% of all transfer revenue." *Raises £187m in window* *window shuts* "Okay now you can have 100% lol"

How does Tuanzebe develop? Seeing mixed reviews about him online but I'd love to make him good enough to not have to fork out. 

Probably not going to be anymore than your third choice central defender, tbh.

EDIT:

I kind of feel like this is cheating but fuck it I'm a glory hunter, right?

I thought the usual advice was that having players in the same positions and roles, i.e. your CBs and CMs, wouldn't be as effective as having different roles. In any case, a wide 4-2-3-1 works pretty well as far back as FM12, where I naturally stumbled upon it being effective. The only formations I've found that work as well as 4-2-4 (basically 4-4-2 but with AMs) and the narrow version of 4-2-3-1, which is what Man City usually default to.

It used to be that you had to have different roles but this year it seems you can get away with the same eg the two BBM midfielders which was originally me tinkering in pre season at Bayern to get Goretzka and Toliso both starting. Again I think the strong DLP behind them in Thiago is what made it work. Then at Juve it was Matuidi/Bentancur with Pjanic behind.
