In a game of mine that i'm playing with a friend (he manages juventus), my friend was trying to buy ribery from Bayern. When i checked Ribery's favorite teams I saw that ribery had no longer bayern like a favourite team but Juventus even though he was still playing at bayern. And my friend claims that he only put ribery on a shortlist for a year and juventus became his favorite team just for that....

Has this happened to anyone with ribery or with any other player???

Usually see a team added or maybe removed (if treated badly by them). But never have I personally seen one team replace the one the player is currently at.

me neither i had never seen a thing like that... that's why i decided to make a post for it cause it sounded fishy to me and i wanted to see if maybe this has happened to someone else...

Nope not really seen this tbh, it's another little part of the game that i should really take more care in viewing.

Firstly, welcome

Secondly, I've seen it happen once and only once. It was Shaun Wright-Phillips but this was on FM08 (I think it was '08). I did find it strange at the time to be honest; I'd not done anything to make him change his favourite club.

It could be down to the club underachieving or him being unhappy in general. These stats are rated on points (out of 100), I think it's 75 to be a favourite (or something like that) and if it is a favourite club by a few digits (76 for example) and transfer listing a player makes them drop 4 points, he'd subsequently remove the team as his favourite.

I think if you looked into it, that Ribery's favourability for Bayern would be borderline and he's gradually lost a little favour for the club. Probably not a lot, but just enough for the statistic to drop below the required amount to make the club show as one of his favourites.

It happens with favourite players a lot too, I find. Probably the same reasoning as above.

Thanks for the welcoming

As for the post... ok i understand that he lost a favourite team, but can it happen that a player adds up a faourite club only by being on the shortlist of a manager for a long time? For example like in this case, ribery added juventus as a favorite club right after losing bayern and my friend claims he only had him on shortlist for a year and ribery was still at bayern when adding juventus. Because in my opinion being on a coach's shortlist (if this situation is possible at all) would make a player add the coach as favorite personnel not the team the coach is training...

If you know something on the matter it would be really helpful...

Was your friend Juventus? If he was tracking Ribery then he might be flattered by the interest and it would maybe be higher than his love for Bayern, so it replaces Bayern with Juventus.

You'll find that some players will respond better to these things than other players, so it won't happen all the time. But the more flattering you are to a player, the more he will like you and maybe your club too.

Yeah my friend was juventus' manager...

I've been playing the FM series for a long time now but i had never remarked smth like this... but this was very explaining...

Thanks for the info that was really helpful...

Strange thing that, I've never seen it before. Unless Ribery hates Bayern for not letting him leave the club?

Was thinking that myself. Frustration at not being allowed to move?

[Mylo22]

well i checked the editor file and ribery had a likeness of 50% with bayern at the beginning of the game so i understand that he might lose bayern as a favourite keeping in mind that they are selling him... what i don't understand and that seem really strange to me is how he got to grow the likeness for Juventus without ever having any connection with that team... because just being in the shortlist of the juventus coach doesnt convince me...i mean i have loads of players on my shortlist for a long time and no one ever made my team as a favourite club just for that...
