I signed Mokoena, quite dissapointing really, hasnt done anything.

You've got the dude from South Africa right? Not the idiot from Blackburn? :p

Try giving him some time to settle in the premiership. Use him regularly as a sub and he'll be scoring goals in no time!

Mascherano is a CM/FM legend, he never fails if put in the right postition. I play him just behind the midfield, what about you?

No, not the idiot from Blackburn! Ive had him on the bench a few times, but lets face it, with people infront of him like Henry, Iaquinta, Bergkamp, Van Persie, he's not going to see much action! I see he can also play on the right and in the centre too but again those areas I have full so we'll just have to see how it goes!

The young italian striker Arsenal have got, Lupoli, he's dynamite! Very good when one on one with the keeper and usually 99% of the time puts them away!

Yeah, same here, ask him to have a dip from long range too, he bangs them in from all sorts of distances on my game!

Anybody know what happened to former CM legend Kennedy Bakirciogl?? I tried looking for him in the game but couldnt find him. I think he's at FC Twente but not sure ive seen him in FM?

Rossi is a god of the game! :)

He's getting loads from the bench for me!

Rooney has played 40 scored 38 for me this season! Going well! One more win and ive won the league with 5 games to go! :)
 
Sanli Tuncay has been very disappointing for me in my Juventus season. Spent 10M on him, he's yet to even make one assist! The media are hounding him. I guess he'll just take time to settle in Italy.

What an amazing player Ibrahimovic is! His heading is magical. Seriously, he's scored around 25 goals this season, 85% of them have been headers. He's great at finishing too, good shooting. He can even set up chances. He's extremely expensive, so if you have the chance to get him on a free, dont think twice about it!

I recommend Giampiero Pinzi of Udinese. Rock solid defensive midfielder. He's nearly as good as Mascherano, if not better!

Any suggestions on a formation for my Juve team? I'm struggling in the League( and by struggling, I mean 3rd place :p), but my form in Europe has been pretty good.

Here's my formation at the moment:

----------------------Trezeguet-----Ibrahimovic---------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Nedved--------------------------------------------------Camoranesi
-----------------Vieira-----------------Emerson--------------------
Zambrotta------------Cannavaro--------Thuram------------Pessoto---



I play Tuncay and Pinzi sometimes as well. In Europe I sacrifice Camoranesi for Del Piero, who also comes in for Trezeguet when he's injured. Its a pretty strong team, but I'm often caught on the break. I'm not in control of the midfield either. D'you think replacing Trezeguet with Del Piero and playing Del Piero in midfield would help? And any suggestions on a differentish formation?

With Nedved and Camoranesi playing in more attacking wing roles, you are leaving the flanks free when you are being hit on the counter attack. I suffered the same problems with my Arsenal team and I nearly always got caught 2 on 1 on the flanks and usually ended up conceding.

Once I moved the wingers back into the midfield I found that i was not vunerable anymore and even though the wingers may not be good defensively, 2 on 2 makes for better odds when being hit on the counter attack. Try it and see how it goes! You could always play a solid 3 midfield and Nedved behind the front two?
 
New list of quality young players :) :

Bastian Schweinsteiger
Wesley Sneijder

Not good news for you guys who have the game or aren't in the UK, but Game has Football Manager 2006 as its deal of the week at ?19.99 in-store and online.
 
Ok guys, I need either a decent centre back or left back that I can actually sign for around ?6Mil, any ideas?
 
Well I'm going to bump this thread (Again)

I've just finished my 500th Game in charge of Liverpool and I thought I'd show off some stats.

Date 31st March 2013.

Games Played 500
Games Won 378
Games Drawn 75
Games Lost 47

Goals Scored 1292
Goals Conceded 381

League Wins 6
Cup Wins 26

Having been Runner up in the Premiership in my first season I have won each of the next 6 titles and am currently top of the pile this season too.

My record in the Champions League is almost as good. Again I was runner up in my first season but then won the next 6 titles. But I got knocked out by Bayern Munich this season.

I've only managed to win the FA Cup once, in 2009. But managed to win the League Cup in Alternate seasons winning in 2007,2009,2011 and 2013. I am still in the FA Cup this season too.

I was Super Cup winner in 2009,2010 and 2012 and Community Shield Winner in 2007,2008,2010 and 2011. I've won the World Clup Championships every time I've been in it.

My biggest League win came in my very first league game in charge. When I demolished West Ham 9-0

I am rated number 1 manager in the world with 780 points.

Thats in incredible record there Kev! How long did it take you to get to number 1 in the world? I had a game going into 2018 and was still only 7th :(
 
I got to number 1 in the world after 6 seasons I think. Its the first time I've played a game for that long too, I normally only go 4 or 5 seasons.
 
Once I get my desktop pc back, I'll make an attempt to overshadow Kev's record, although I think we would be pretty close.
