Im with a team thats just been promoted to Blue Square Premier, and having offers from some spanish clubs, west brom and stoke, lol.
 
i'm gonna take a lower league club after Milan, i enjoyed getting Saints promoted and having a board that support you! Milan have a harsh board!
 
what do you lot make of the star rating things? Bale is only 3 star but plays very well for me, all my other players are 4 or even 5 star
 
how do you find 5 star players? i only seem to come across the worlds well known, i send my scouts out but have let to find some kid with 5 potential

I'll post my first-team Stoke line-up later. I signed 9 new players before the season started. :D

edit; here it is!

Full of cheap Europeans. :D

2 germans (Zickler, Rehmer)
3 Swedes (Kusi-Asare, Svensson & Toivonen)
A dutchie, a Slovenian, a Lithuanian, a croatian and the one remaining english man from the original Stoke lineup - Hill. (although he's not with Stoke anymore IRL).

My most expensive signing was Kusi-Asare from Swedish side Djurgarden, Nejc Pecnik is amazing in that position, got him for £120k from some Finnish side and he's scored 20 goals and made about 15 assists! Worth £2.5m 4 months later. :D

Depends on the rest of your team, if you have a world class squad for instance there will be no player in the game that will be 6 - 8 stars. My Sunderland squad in 2012 for instance, they are mostly world class and my star players who are worth £25 million on paper (but I'd never sell them for less than £75 million) are 5 stars, and they are world players of the year and get golden boots and stuff.

Although if you had a League 2 squad and brought in a rubbish Premiership player, chances are he'll be 6-8 star as he'll be far better than the rest, but rated against world class players he'll probably have 1-2 stars.
