Not again lol! :D

How old is Marzoratti?

Btw anyone made young players but with good bravery and influence stats their captain and removed older players from the job?

On a new Man Utd game and since Neville/Giggs are getting old and won't play very often they aren't my first choices for Captain and Vice-Captain respectively. So I made my new MC/DMC Alberto Zapater my new captain as I intend to keep him for a long while, he's 22 and has 17 for bravery and 15 for influence which makes him top of the pile if you discount the oldies. :D

I think its a good move as he'll be playing quite a few matches in MC for me and then his vice-captain is Vidic.

So what I'm wondering is does making a young player captain help their influence stats? Or will the influence stats only be affected by their training?

What I just noticed is that all the players in the team of the week are from North of England.

Does anybody know of any decent Football Manager sites? I used to read one in the past where people used to make stories using their FM leagues (if you know what I mean, anyway I liked reading them and the rest of the forum, so, which FM forums do you frequent?

Edit- Should've read first post!

Its at the bottom of the player interaction screen. Go to the screen of the younger player and select the player you want to train him in the drop down box. You can't do it with all players, only young players that haven't had too much first team football.

Think they have to be under 21 or something to be tutored/mentored?

Do we have a FML Live beta thread? Or is it just discussed in here?

Everything in here. :)
 
I like to sign Briand but it takes him a while to get up to speed and deserve a place in the starting lineup with Tevez or Rooney etc and when he does play he doesn't do very well so the fans hate him because of the wasted investment. Probably my orders not suiting him very well. :(
 
On a player info page it'll sometimes say that player x could be the next so and so. So say Pique of Barcelona could be the next John Terry or something. Means they are quite a similar player to that person and could be as good as them.
 
The SI Forums are down which I reckon is a hint. They are moving the forum storage from Seattle to London on their own servers (or at least Sega's). Also changing to a new forum software. I reckon they might give some info about FM09 on Thursday when the forum is due to be back up. However they've said late August but normally they announce the new game and its details and then a week or two weeks later give us a demo to play with. Perhaps FM09 to be announced in late August and then the demo out mid-October with a release date of late October or early November.

Also I notice you have Bojan in your team- anyone else found it difficult to sign him? He's been running out of contract at Barca for ages now, not signed a new one with them so available to 'approach to sign'. I've complimented him loads, expressed interest, even signed his bloody Dad as a scout! But he's unwilling to accept any offer I make :mad::(

Yep. Impossible to sign. I signed his Dad as a scout to tempt him over as well. Didn't work.

this is not in anyway a constructive hint if you are against cheating a tad, however if you dont mind tinkering a little you could dload FM Modifier and tinker with the clubs finances just enough to get the board happy ?

Any news on FM09 release date?
Click to expand...
Nothing yet. SI Forums are down for a redesign and move to new servers/forum software. It'll be late October to early November at the latest.
 
Hmm bug or Valencia are being silly. Offered £63m three times for Silva which exceeds his £62m minimum fee release clause. Each time they come back with another offer. But since I'm meeting and actually exceeding the minimum fee I don't understand this!

Are you offereing the 62 mil out right though mate, becuase if your not then tney have no obligation to accept the offer. They only have to accept it if you offer it out right and not in installments.

Cheers mate

Yes. I offered £62m up front. Valencia came back with another offer. So I offered £63m up front and still they played.
