Look for a 20 yrd old Brazilian AMC called Santana, plays for Vitoria I think, signed him for Leicester in League One. Paid about 4.5 million for him and the guy is class.

You had 4.5 million with Leicester in League One?

Been cheating havent you.

I've got 42 Leagues running.

Well at the 7th attempt at trying, I'm hoping to get my Dudelange (Luxemburg) team into the Champions League on my Fifa Manager 08 game. Failed the first 2 times, and then 3 times I got to the group stage of the Uefa Cup, and one more time I got to the first knockout round after the group stage. Also in my 6 seasons I have won the league 6 times, only losing 3 times in that time. Also won 5 cups, should have won 6 but had a shock hammering one season in the 1/4s. Also gone from a 4k capcity stadium, getting crowds of just over 1k, to having a 34k+ stadium, a league average attendance of 13.6k and expanding again to over 40k due to the fact I have now sold out the ground for my Champions League qualifier against Dinamo Kiev.
In my first few seasons my team didnt have a player younger than 31 in it, but not it is deemed too young after bringing through some good talent, getting the cream of the crop from the rest of the league, and after a few seasons, younger players wanted to come to my club, but only those out of contract.
I also own the club.
Away from the field, I have a lovely wife in Tara, who is pregnant with our third child. We have a 3 year old son called Lewis jnr, and a 1 year old son called Boris. I would have been able to buy a tropical island for us all by now but every year I decide to pump money into the club so that I can spend more developing the ground and the facilities. Although I dont really need it as I would make profit anyway, mainly due to European football and the millions I make from sponsorship.
I also had a not so succesful spell with Croatia, and then took charge of the Japan side who, after winning 1 and losing 2 in the World Cup, didnt have a game for 2 years which meant I wasn't needed. I'm now in charge of an extremely young Luxemburg team, who although not as good as other nations yet, have some serious talent such as Pascal Guily (lvel 82, my second best player at Dudelange) and the only way is forward.
I could have left the club by now, having offers from Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter Milan and a whole host of other German, Spanish, French and Italian clubs, but I will not sell Dudelange until I have took them to the Champions League and won a group stage game then maybe that will be as far as I can take them due to the limitations of the Luxemburg League.

See, your all playing Football Manager but its only on Fifa Manager you can get stories like that

Why?

Dident start my chelsea season because i wanted more of a challenge. So ive gone with Wolverhampton Wanderers instead.

Team - Wolves

Division - Championship

Erm.. how is that more of a challenge?

Wolves - Top of Championship (Easy league)
Chelsea - Top of Premiership (Hard league)

The Championship is not easy! There is about 10 teams that can gain promotion. Then if i achieve promotion, i've then got to stay and fight for my survival.

Thats harder than playing in Europe every year with Chelsea.

Conference every time for me. Northwich victoria at the minute, true test of skill!

QPR get around 11.5 million just for the promise of a mid table finish, its about £14.5 if you say you'll win it.

Anybody noticed how good the re-gens are on this game?

I snapped this one up on a free from Maritimo, but I've missed out on loads 'cause I never knew they were so good on it.




5* potential, and versatile.

There's a regen on my game who is 21 and worth about £35m. Plays for Newcastle and England and his stats are better than Messi's.

I'll post a few more on when I find them.

Some of them are amazing, but some lack the stats they need in their position.

E.g 'keepers 20 on flair, but 9 on anticipation and positioning.

Getting FM 09 for my birthday in a fortnight and will take the Wigan job I would imagine

anyone playing a network game. I cant imagine it working.
