Is there anyone who still plays an earlier version of the game like me? The most recent one I have is FM 2007 until I get a newer laptop.

I've dusted it down after not playing it for a while and moved Rangers and Celtic into the English Premier League and chose Celtic. After a decent pre season I got thumped 3-0 at Fulham in my first league game and next I am at home to Everton.

I think it's going to be a long season.

Unfortunately I'm still on FM09 until Christmas.

Anyway I've starting again as Villarreal, my team is :
4-2-3-1
13. Diego Lopez

17. Javi Venta
2. Gonzalo Rodriguez
4. Diego Godin
5. Joan Capdevila

19. Marcos Senna
6. Sebastian Eguren

8. Santi Carzola
22. Giuseppe Rossi
14. Matias Fernandez

12. Nilmar

Subs:
1. Sebastian Viera
18. Angel
7. Robert Pires
11. Ariel Ibagaza
21. Bruno
15. Nihat
16. Joseba Llorente

Aiming to finish in the top 4.

I finally won my first league game at the 10th attempt, an injury time 2-1 win against Rangers.

I'm finally out of the relegation zone in the lofty position of 17th!

This is just an excuse to post my first image through photobucket.

Made some big changes there, ~ No1 Saints Fan ~

I'm still playing the 08 version for the Xbox. Mainly because the controls for that one are lot more fiddly so I don't really spend as much time on it and still have some sort of social life.

If its like previous versions then you use the database editor which should come with the game. This lets you edit more or less anything such as teams, leagues, club finances, players etc. Only thing to remember is you have to start a new game for the changes to take effect.

I only had £6.5m, I bought Nilmar for £12m over 24 months. Looking to sign a defender or two next season.

You also have to make sure that all the leagues have the correct number of teams so when you put them into the EPL you have to move two teams into the championship and two teams from the championship into league one and so on.

IIRC, there's a brand new league editor this year that means you can make more leagues playable and other things. Eg. someone has made the english leagues down to 10 levels, not 7.

Im in 2012-2013 with Everton on FM10 currently, 3rd in the table with 4 games to go. 3 of them though are Man City, Liverpool & Arsenal. x_x

Dig around on fm-base.co.uk and sortitoutsi.net - you'll probably find a ready made custom league structure you can download for FM07.

Well got Bradford into the Championship. Still Pre-season, but my wonderful chairman has decided it would be a fun idea to sell 2 of my best players for pennies. Really thought that crap had been cut out from last year. We have plenty of money in the bank and i've listed these guys as not for sale. Yet a really crap offer has been accepted

Finished 4th in the end, beat Liverpool & Arsenal but just couldnt do Man City in eventually.

1st after 9 games of the 2013-2014 season now, sold Vukcevic and brought in Wesley Sneijder, ripping teams apart currently. Beat Tottenham & Zenit 4-0, QPR 5-2, Villa 3-0, Man City 3-0.

Very annoyed at losing 1-0 to Boro though.

Drachen, with you being so far ahead, how good are the likes of Coutinho, Yannis Tafer and Marc Muniesa on your game?

I'm still on 07 atm, might get 10 for Christmas not decided yet.

I'm half-way through my second season...was PL and CL runners up in my first season and i'm top at the minute in January 2008. Hopefully win the league and maybe a CL or FA cup final appearance.

Made a few purchases.
