My current team is just full of former youngsters and regens now bar few :lmao

2006 - Longest game, so i'll just sum up. Got Exeter (Conference side) and made them the best team in the world. Also, for some reason, Bayern Munich became the second best team in the world, maybe because they had SAF as manager. Both of us were in a different class to ALL other teams.

2007 - Didn't really get this one going. Just had many saves of one season games that I got bored of.

2008 - First season, Marseille, bought a few good players, but out of pure luck and my tactics, i won the quadruple. Second season, chairman went crazy ass and sacked me. So i waited a while until England job was free, and became their manager. After long tedious holidays and frendlies, i won both the World Cup and Euro. Then resigned, and took over Southampton who were just promoted to the championship (lulz). Bought loads of regens, and now i'm in the prem :amuse

I was in 2020 something and got bored

I was signing world class players I've never fucking heard of and was dominating the world.

Boro won everything there is to win I kept taken England so euro cup/world cup finals



after the first few seasons and you find that hax tactic its get easy. Basically sign Jo and you win everything

Best part of the game though is I didn't pay a penny for it.

Mininova > torrent > ISO > sorted :D

Anyway its uninstalled atm but the only screenshot I have of my team on me HD was a few years back from where I finished. Thus tactic has dominated every team

which version is that mine is different:(

I have a question

how do I train my players so they can play at a different position?

like kaka is a AMF and I want him to play as an attacker or stricker

and do you have any recommendations for a left midfielder and right midfielder?

Cesc Fabregas
06-11-2008, 08:39 AM
i think you go somehwere in 'training' think it was called 'adapting' or summin like that.

thats the 2007 version!! well ive only bought 2 players so far, nakamura *can play all sides* and quaresma. nakamura only cost £5m, bur quaresma might just have cost £13m

why didnt you just download it?

btw I have pippo, gilardino, benzema,fabio quagliarella, mutu and pato as attackers

benzema isnt that good but better than gila and pippo in my opinion

so who do you think I should offload?

or should I send someone to the reserves

I was going to sell gila for 45m but he rejected every contract -.-

btw mutu and fabio can play as midfielder or attacking midfielders

my midfield is good with seedorf, pirlo, gattuso, kaka, mutu and ambrosini

but my defence isnt that good with nesta, 40 year old maldini, zapata, kaladze, marcelo, alves, oddo

I need a central midfielder that plays with the left foot cause zapata and nesta use their right.

goalkeeper dida.... tried to get frey, cech, buffon but didnt succed although I paid like 80m xD can you suggest another goalkeeper?

Sorry, I am (usually) always statisfied with the teams current keeper, hence I never search for keepers. Perhaps, I was lucky with the keeper as I have only played with 1 team, thus I cannot compare. (But I'm not going to deny that he made some excellent saves.

I'd be the guy to talk to if you're searching for playmakers (I like to play with playmakers), but considering the way you are, I bet your team has already a good playmaker, no?

pirlo is perfect all I need is a central defender using a left leg

Sinan Bolat. Not the best stats but he's amazing. I always buy him with Fenerbahce and right away he becomes a starter. His clean sheet record is ridiculous.

I played some friendlies.
5 in total.
1st 4 I won.
Last one against Wrexham I drew.
Then in my 1st PL game, I beat Birmingham City.
My next match was supposed to be against Man Utd but since I had a CL 3rd round qualifying match, that match was rescheduled.
Also, my next two PL matches are against Chelsea and Arsenal.
In my CL 3rd round qualifying 1st leg match, I faced a team that I thrashed in a friendly just earlier.
I beat them (Genk) 4-1. Van Der Vaart (my new signee) scored two goals.
I lost to Chelsea then. 1-0. Kalou scored the goal.:pek
I beat Arsenal then 2-1.:LOS
I think my next match is the CL 3rd round 2nd leg qualifying match.

I beat Chelsea in League Cup 3rd Round match.
First Half:
One of my players got red card.
Chelsea scored.
2nd Half:
I equalized.
Then another player got injured but I am out of any subs.
Used up all my 3 subs.
Practically 9 vs 11.
I managed to hold off in the 1st half of extra time.
2nd half, I put half my remaining men forward and the pressure forced Essien to make numerous fouls eventually causing him to get red carded.
it was pretty ugly.
Mine and them got loads of bookings.

It went to penalties.
I won 3-2.

out of curiosity...............what is chelseas transfer budget when you start with them?

the valuation on that game is fucked up, ie. Chiellini (sp?) value - £4.3m, i offer £7.5m, they want £14m!! same with kompany, his 'worth' £6m, the enquiry says they want £16m!!!

about 40-50 mil cant remember depends wat u select,

2nd season i got almsot 80mil cos i did the quadrople :LOS

milan are great in this team just have patience and wait for ronaldo to recover and pato and you wont have problems

well maybe you will need riquelme as a replacement for kaka and the next season you will need a new striker since its unlikely that ronaldo will renew but still you will have alot of funds and you will win the triple atleast easily :)

FM is the same every year it just doesn't change except for a few tweaks here and there, they need to add stuff that maybe you dont need but would be nice to have.

My stats for my 1st season:
I had four users in the 1st season.

Liverpool Manager:
Premier League - 2nd
Champions League - Semi Final ~ lost to Barcelona who eventually lost to Arsenal.
FA Cup - Knocked out pretty early.:pek
League Cup - Reached latter stages.

Man Utd Manager:
Premier League - 1st:LOS
Champions League - Finished 3rd in group stages
UEFA Cup - Reached later stages.
FA Cup - Reached later stages.
League Cup - Reached later stages.
Community Shield - Lost to Chelsea.

England Manager:
Finished 1st in qualifying stage for Euro Cup.
Won Euro Cup beating France in the final.:dance
Michael Owen became England's all time leading goal scorer.
Opinion: This manager has best season than other 3 and only lost once which was in Euro Cup group stage when England already qualifies for quarter finals and he (that is I) decided to give the unused players some piece of action.

Chelsea Manager:
Premier League - 4th :( ~ Newcastle finished 3rd and Arsenal finished 5th but Arsenal won CL, so Chelsea was denied a spot in next (current) season in CL.
Champions League -Finished 3rd in group stage.
UEFA Cup - Knocked out just a round before Man Utd was knocked out.
FA Cup - Knocked out about as early as was Liverpool.
League Cup - Knocked out pretty early.
Community Shield - Beat Man Utd to win it.

In my second (current) season, I added a new manager who is in charge of Middlesborough.

anyone tried to buy silva?

Il Diavolo
08-31-2008, 09:11 AM
ok I bought silva for 117m (buy out clause) and when I offered him a contract he didn't want to sign

I had to give him 40k for appearance 10% wage raise and 300k per week and 10m signing on contract -.-

and he got injured for 2 month after his third match

bought pirlo for 25m and albiol for 25m and felipe for 15m

They gave me 250 for transfers and I still have around 90m left without adjusting my budget! :D

I won every title at the first season with barca

goalkeepers:- valdes, Felipe,jorquera
defense:- Zambrotta, puyol, milito, oleguer, marcelo, abidal, heitinga, albiol
midfield:- Pirlo, iniesta, xavi, yaya toure, ronaldinho, silva, dos santos, deco, messi
attack:- Henry, eto'o, bojan, aguero

I still have every iteration of SI manger games from Champ Manager 3.

CM4 is by far my fav.

I usually play with Blackpool(for a challenge) or Arsenal, doesnt CM have a network option?

We could all play, I mean run like a few leagues have everyone play together, If we can get like 20 managers or so it would pwn.

Is there going to be a FM2009 or is SI focusing on FM Live?

I was a beta tester but FM Live really requires you to be super active otherwise you would lose out on the players.

I think fm09 is coming out near the end of october. Apparently, its going to be on DVD for the first time :awesome

Oooo Dvd. Then either that's a lot of changes or the library is gonna be huge.

But I wonder how they have the time to focus on FM2009 if they were focusing on FM Live.
