Haaland will have to be nerfed for FM25

[Myll]

Anyone paying attention to the way Erling Haaland's skills are lacking in the current Premiere League season in the Real World? Check today's news, Haaland's general gameplay was described as 'League Two Player' quality. No kidding. This season has been an extreme letup for Haaland, considering how meteoric last season was. Hate to say it, but Haaland's going Attributes/Skills data for the FM series need to be significantly nerfed for the next version of FM, he's just not as dominant a player and something switched off with him this season. Maybe age plus far too many matches in the past year, or perhaps fame/publicity and the pressures of "stardom" - whatever it is, he is simply not the same "hungry" player this season. I've often thought - that hunger thing isn't represented enough in the FM Series, in terms of the ability of some players to go above-and-beyond to use what talent they have to their utmost potential. Haaland is like a machine that is not firing on all cylinders. Maybe he could be better, but something is either messed up in his mind/wiring or in his body, and he simply doesn't "have it together" this year. It's sort-of like one-hit wonder Rock Bands, lots of stardom quickly and then fizzle out and fade away. Then again, maybe Haaland comes back next season and revives that same play we saw last season - especially if he's confronted and told that - he won't make as much money if he keeps underperforming. Regardless, SI should not be so gracious with Haaland's attributes/stats in the next FM game.

100% true, City was a better team without him.

I hope so, and I hope Chelsea and Utd are just as ♥♥♥♥ in FM25 as they are in real life too. I wont get my hopes up on that one though.

Roy keane said that, he's possibly slightly bias against Haaland.
ended his dads career intentionally, and hates man city.

Haaland just came back from injury and is still the top scorer.
And please don't quote Roy Kean when it comes to City. Calling him a league 2 player when he broke all time Premiere league records is just talking rubbish.
Must be hard for him to watch City winning everything while Man Utd haven't won anything of worth for over a decade.
