But yeah, nothing that has been amazing really...ill have a tactic that ill beat Utd, and draw with top 4 and lose to hull...
You must have been speaking to Arsene Wenger then lol
me too, im only in my second season. Everyone else just rushes it
That's why they lose
I wanna get to summer 2009 tonight and get my youngsters into pre-season, 2nd season i'll start seeing them paying off, they all have potential to wipe floor with all the older players.
Saivet in FM2008 took ages though, think i didn't see return on him until like 2 seasons and it's looking the same.
Lol, yeah i guess! Him/Ferguson have me on their favoured personnel too lol.

Would be interesting to see how the likes of Wenger or Ferguson would do on FM2009
"Hmm, this player has a PA of -10, better sign him in january.."

As in, their real life counterparts - not the AI, a real football manager.

Yeah this is more definite now. Thinking about installing Drupal on my site and setting up a downloads area and perhaps a forum so we can discuss tactics and rate downloads etc.I swear we've said that before? But yes I would be

Because bigger clubs bid, i reject they ask to leave. Plus half the players i do sign are youngsters.
I signed 10 players this season, 3 first teamers.
Last season i signed 15 players, 3 first teamers, 3 that have moved into first team/backup.
Over last two seasons, first team players sold;
Marc Torrejon (Shaktar), Andy Johnson (Sunderland), Volz (Sunderland) Leonardo (Wolves), Gomis (City), Toto Tamuz (Sevila), Balotelli (AC), Anyukov (Utd), Caicedo (Sunderland), Wright-Philips (Villa), that needed replacement, as it is DC, AML, ST, ST, ST, DR, AMR in that lineup sold. Also my best AMR that i used have become Championship standard players that have to be replaced, Simon Davies/Clint Dempsey. Because Anuykov was sold, Santon has moved back to DR, which opened up AMR.
Also season before that first players sold;
Gera (Boro), Schwarzer (Lyon), Murphy (Sunderland), Bale (City), Stoor (City), Konchesky (West Ham), so that all wanted to leave.
See
.Show first team change;

Sounds good.
Omg, winning like non stop now, took me til march, but i beat Arsenal 4-2, portsmouth and tottenham in uefa cup, baggies, fulham, drew with everton. Dominate every match and Cardozo is now suddenly amazing scoring 2 every game, Agbonlahor scores a few too.
Changed to attack Matt v3, players are finally producing. But young asenjo in goal leaks in like 2-3 goals per game, as do the CB's.
