Marc, I play Silva on the right hand side of a 3 AMC attack with an arrow moving the right. Hes playing great there. Hes rated to play AML / AMC / AMR, so he can pretty much play anywhere :p

Got to agree with Marc, Balotelli would a be a decent squad player to fill in.

Whats the program anyway in the top right of the picture? I want that :p Is is cheating though?

Personally I wouldn't. Corradi wouldn't play that often. And you seem to not want to loan him out.

Balotelli looks more than good enough. :)

I dont mind loaning him out, if i can send him somewhere where he'll get the games in a top league.
I could send him to my feeder club, Blackburn, i suppose?
Long term though, is it worth holding onto him? Or should i just sell him now and worry about my 'next gen' striker when the need arises?
 
Seeing as you don't really need a new striker now then perhaps leave it until you need to worry about one.

Course Corradi could be really quite good in the future and one of a few strikers worth it so it could be cheaper and easier to get him now.

CA/PA of 150/197, AM LC. Gonna loan him out till the end of the season, then he's Rosinas replacement.

I like it when that happens. :D

I sign a player and then realise in the summer I already signed someone for that position. :p
 
well guys quick update on my game, as you are all aware i was playing as valencia.

well i quit, and took obver everton who were relegated to Div 1.

got them promoted to the PL and Real madrid offered me the job of managing them after not renewing schusters contract. well i had to take it with a £200million budget lol :p

anyway playing through this first real season with my new PC and got to say FM flys now :p

Thats a pretty good career move from Everton to Madrid!

I thought so, couldnt believe how much faster this game runs now its unreal.

before i could literally go and make a cuppa while it was chewing through a particular hefty part of the season or if i decided to holiday for a couple of days, but now it literally is there immediately.

also i can now browse the net and watch movies without having to change the priority of my movie player !


absoloutely over the moon with this new PC TBH !
 
ok guys as youre all aware now im managing real madrid, coincedentally on £180k a week lol

anyway the best player in this game for me is a player called Roberto Soldado who came up through the youth team.

I have never heard of him and dont know whether it is a fluke but this guy is a goal machine.

so far in 2 and a half seasons he has averaged more than a goal a game every season.

stats this year

Played 23 Scored 28 4 assists in all competitions and this is the first of january !

his actual stats dont look too special but the guys is absoloutely lethal infront of goal !
 
Never trust stats. Always trust Scout reports (if they have at least 18/18 on potential and current ability). They take into account the hidden stuff you don't see in the game (which external programs do! :D) but you probably know all this anyway

I bought Lulinha when he was around 18 and he ends up with around 12/13 finishing at most if i can remember correctly. He ends up scoring 15-20 goals a season playing behind the striker.

I always use something like FM Modifier to see the player's hidden values. :p:o
 
I posted this separtely, and then got told off my Marc :P So thought I would attach it to here.

PC Gamer had a further 1 page update on FM Live this month, and I for one am looking forward to it. How about you guys? Anyone else looking at it, and liking the idea?

If there are a few of us, a possible OcUK League could be created? Has anyone managed to make their way into the Beta?
