Trying playing as a team like Wigan or Aston Villa and winning the CL with them, iit ain't easy, but after 2 years, I did it with Villa, and I'm currently in my 2nd season with Wigan, in 2nd place and flowing through the EURO cup.

Anyway, I thought I'd list some players I thought were wonderful in the game, I'm sure some of them have been mentioned before but I couldn't be arsed reading 300 posts.

Rafael Van Der Vaart: Without question, becomes the best midfield playmaker in the game, the guy gets an astonishing amount of assists and 20/30 yard goals for me, you could probably get him in the first season for about 15-20 million, definitely worth the cost.

Vagner Love: I'm sure he's been mentioned, but for 8 million, you will not find a better striker than him anywhere, I had him with Villa, and I've just found enough money to get him with Wigan, and he smashes the goals in for both clubs, I think in one season with Villa he got 37 in the PL.

Eddie Johnson: Costs about 2 million, which is unreal value. He's only really good for lower teams at the start of the game (I got him for Wigan), but his pace and finishing are insane. He got me 40 goals in his first season, and if he's trained right, he becomes a brilliant player. In my 2nd season, he's already worth 9 million.

Mika Aaritalo: Without doubt, the best value player in the game. Costs about 100k at the start, he's now worth 12 million for my Wigan team. Gets a huge amount of assists and constantly improves. A great winger.

Rafinha: Right back, costs about 10 million, but becomes by far the best RB in the game, great as a winger aswell, if you want that. Might not be able to get him til the 2nd season, due to work permits.

Breno: Great young wonderkid defender, only about 2 million, already in my Wigan first team, and keeps getting better.

Curtis Davies: He starts out on loan to Villa, and I ended up paying the 8 million for him, becomes one of the games best defenders, easily.

There's loads more, but they're my pick, I've played a game as Stevenage aswell and got to League 1, I'll list a few really good players to get for a conference side aswell in a bit.

In every game i've played, Man Utd always play Fletcher in the first team, he's actually better than Carrick and Hargreaves in it.

In my game Sevilla rates Fletcher, sold him to them. Should have negotiated and included Daniel Alves in the deal with top-up on their side of course :p

Barring the injuries im pretty sure this is the best team I've ever gotten in the game
 
Haha Cambiasso is only worth a million... Adriano 2.1...

When is the January transfer update supposed to be released?

Yeah, Johnson is brilliant. Have him in my United team in 2012 and he is great!

I negotiated with Lyon for Benzema in August 09 and included Saha in a deal plus 70mill, they negotiated 70mill + Kieran Lee (Who was transfer listed):D

Kieran Lee is now the starting left back at Lyon. Grosso went to Napoli.

You know if you get an update or whatever you call it, does it do all the transfers and stuff?

Yes. The latest update has all the january transfer deals, plus it fixes any problems there were with the game
 
Hmm, it's just that I'm looking to update it for the sake of the Irish league, and given that we have a new team and different method of promotion/relegation this year, I REALLY don't want to just go through editor.

Would you say they've it done for the Eircom League? And could you give me a link?

I don't really follow the eircom league despite being irish, but this page (http://community.sigames.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5732091743/m/8912012743/p/4) shows some more informed people's complaints about the eircom league in the latest update, it should be able to tell you what they have changed about the league. You may have to become a member to read it, i'm not sure.

here is a link to the update anyway depending on how you choose to download:

Ahem..... I think you'll find that it's the SIGAMES football manager forum for tactical and training DISCUSSION and tips. Sharing my tactical pearls of wisdom with those less fortunate.

of course... its YOU giving YOUR tactics away.........you barely even need a tactic with the team you have at the moment, i did notice that messi is playing amc....strange...fabregas playing dmc.....strange (unless you have trained him there....)
 
You can buy the game pretty cheap. SI are known to put code in their games which activates bugs if they are cracked.
 
I bought Footie Manager last week for £20, nothing really. Currently managing Swansea, it's boring being the top teams, too easy.
 
It's going so good for me with United it's boring. I win anygame with my B team ffs.
 
I think I've just witnessed the most remarkable FM goal ever.

2 touches from my goal into the roof of the net in the other, Cristiano Ronaldo against Wigan at OT.
