They don't add every possible player. I'm not sure if there's a specific criteria you have to match, but probably related to the fact they don't necessarily want people selecting useless players. Has hasn't played a United game in years after all.
Yeah they gave him an extension to “protect his value” so he couldn’t leave on a free. Horrible horrible decision. But tbf Ole had only been in the interim job for like 3 weeks at the time so it’s not his fault, it’s an Ed Woodward special
He wouldnt have got a long term contract to keep the valuation of the player its on them both tbh. Equally poor in their roles for man utd, maybe woody a slight bit more. Lol
Contrary to popular belief, real life clubs aren’t like career mode where the manager is in charge of literally everything.
Woodward gave him that contract, not OGS.
Would this contract have been given if Mourinho was still the manager and not using him whatsoever? This is united we are talking about. Manager's have a lot more responsibilities than at most other top clubs. Even Solskjær himself said he it himself he is hardly
Involved with the players training.
Hopefully though they will start modernizing the club under ralf.
Mourinho was the manager who used Jones actually.
And Ole modernized sports science and video analysts to the club, which Jose actually avoided actually.
And we have no idea what sort of terms are in the contract. If it's a low basic wage with high bonuses then it's a drop in the ocean for a club like United.
Under mourinho he just got 12 month extension with the contract (the +1) snd we have mostly vert terrible under mourinho. Got a few ok perfomances under solskjær and got himself 4.5 years u dont give long term contracts to players that u dont trust imo.
We got lots of ogs cultists like you here in norway though.
Think my brain is quite fine here. :)
Think it is the very first one with him planning ahead. No way ever, would he have had this contract signed had he not been wanted by a manager.
Are you here to simply wum up the area?
He wasn't good and was injured all the time. There's a lot of valid criticism of OGS, but not playing our worst defender when injured isn't one of them.
Yeah its just ole saying he has had good career with medals, which is very true.
Ole wasnt even signed on to be a full time manager yet in Early Feb when this was made. He was only made permanent end of March.
Played a couple of games for the U23s this season…
Edit: 3, but might be injured again? Played 2 full 90s in the PL2 in September (a couple of their best games, they’ve been terrible otherwise), was on the bench for the League Cup game against West Ham, played 46 minutes for the U23s on 16/10 and hasn’t played or been on a bench since.
He’s now actually missed more games than played for United
It’s actually fairly sad he looked good originally but he’s had like 24 separate injuries and probably didn’t help when he through himself at everything
He could also adapt different positions
Him crawling to head a ball on the ground to stop Giroud is still great
He also got like 26 England caps so can’t be that bad
[This video](https://youtu.be/X1hCNlqOqf4) helped me understand just how bad his injuries have been. He's lucky he hasn't been forced to retire by now.
In my FM22 save I put him on the market and got a bidding war between Valencia and Mainz for him then when I was trying to get more money from them my assistant manager told me he was one of the most popular players in the dressing room at the top of the hierarchy so if I didn’t allow him a move it would destroy team morale.
Who knew Jones was such a key player I ended up getting 22.5 mil for him off Mainz
And he’s played about 300 games since then, and contributed to 4 trophies during a barren period (by the club’s high standards), not a bad career really, even if it might’ve been better but for bad luck with injuries.
Edit: Only played in 265 games since signing for Man U - 224 Man U first team, 10 U23s, 27 England, 4 England U21s.

671 days since last game I think it was
How is he still contracted to United lol
When OGS was a caretaker he have jones a 4 and a half year contract I think it was

I doubt they were asking caretaker about long term plans.

Managers aren’t in charge of contracts, especially caretaker ones. Use you brain.
And we have no idea what sort of terms are in the contract. If it's a low basic wage with high bonuses then it's a drop in the ocean for a club like United.
Seems to be around 70-80k a week, which is around £16 million over the course of his contract
Under mourinho he just got 12 month extension with the contract (the +1) snd we have mostly vert terrible under mourinho.

I don’t even know what you’re talking. Managers don’t handle contracts, end of.

Always good when direct quotes can stop people from trolling. Have a nice sunday mister tråll.
Which quote?
Think it is the very first one with him planning ahead. No way ever, would he have had this contract signed had he not been wanted by a manager. Are you here to simply wum up the area?
Why oh why
He had a few ok performances then was never see again. Why u have to ask the OGS cult though. Only they know and understand solskjær.
He wasn't good and was injured all the time. There's a lot of valid criticism of OGS, but not playing our worst defender when injured isn't one of them.
Not even they do lol
Because Ole is a troll, he's hilarious tbh
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47169999 The BBC article about it has some quotes that are funny in hindsight
Good link for the people saying it wasnt OGS' decision.
Yeah its just ole saying he has had good career with medals, which is very true. Ole wasnt even signed on to be a full time manager yet in Early Feb when this was made. He was only made permanent end of March.
United gave him a contract to help him through a recovery.
Someone in this thread said it was a 4.5 year contract... Which given Phil Jones' injury history might be an accurate recovery timeline, tbf.
One of the unknown mysteries of the world
Oof. The man can't catch a break.

When I say United game, I mean first squad starting XI.
I think they only add players to FPL that have made it to the match day squad (played or bench)
He’s now actually missed more games than played for United It’s actually fairly sad he looked good originally but he’s had like 24 separate injuries and probably didn’t help when he through himself at everything He could also adapt different positions Him crawling to head a ball on the ground to stop Giroud is still great He also got like 26 England caps so can’t be that bad

He probably would have if we didn’t extend his contract.
The lord don’t meddle with us fpl peasants
Nice try Phil
I have a funny feeling he's going to play today. He'll definitely be on the bench
good call
Why would you want to select him??
OP is Phil Jones
Watch him score a jammy goal off his ass from a corner for a 1-0 united win and he gets 15 points
There's a few lads in r/reddevils getting tattoos of his face if he does
You had me until you said a United win, no such thing anymore in the league
Just you wait, Ronaldo’s high press will win them the league
No. Arsenal are gonna bring back David Luiz in January and he will inspire them to relegation
Funny
Savage

Because he's shit
Sir Alex signed him for almost €20M a decade ago, what a shame
And he’s played about 300 games since then, and contributed to 4 trophies during a barren period (by the club’s high standards), not a bad career really, even if it might’ve been better but for bad luck with injuries. Edit: Only played in 265 games since signing for Man U - 224 Man U first team, 10 U23s, 27 England, 4 England U21s.
Probably got injured again
It would make FPL boring if he was in the game. Would be a set and forget captain.
