Has anyone started a game with the 9.2 patch yet? If so is Verma on there for us?

Yeh he starts in the reserves though and is not very good. How someone was able to rate him I don't know!

Mark Davies isn't though I don't think

[Mikey]

Has anyone got any good left backs I can sign?

I only have 6 million to spend?

[Finnegan]

I still have Mattock. :\

[Mikey]

I still have Mattock. :\

He kept rejecting my contracts, and then went to Watford. <_<

Looks like I'm spending my money on Akinfeev now anyway.

EDIT: ****. He failed his medical. Oh well. I'll get him when he's fit .

I've just been promoted into the premiership at the end of my 3rd season. I came second with 90 points behind Bolton, who stormed it on 106 points.

Daniel Sturridge's 25 goals and Toni Kaillo's average of 7.4 at the back were the main reasons for my promotion.

It is going to be a tough year in the premier league, I'd be delighted with 17th place. I have managed to get Ched Evans in on a free to re-ignite his partnership with Daniel Sturridge. Couple of Spanish teenage Regens on the wings and Jack Rodwell to provide cover at centre half and for Dickson Etuhu. Also got Sean Scannell kicking about the squad, think he could be a class act in the future.

It is a young side and i am miles below my wage budget, if I can stay up this year I think it would only take a little bit of investment to turn them into a regular premier league side. I'll let you know how i get on. A 2-0 away win at Villa and a 1-1 away to Liverpool have made me more optimistic about my chances.

Only

I've just wrote a shopping list of players I need to look at to keep my in the Championship...I've just noticed the transfer window is closed though

I'll have to get some loans in.

Here is my shopping list, Obviously some players are well out of budget and unrealistic, but what do people think?

Defence:

Michael Mancienne (Centre Back/Right Back)

Peter Ramage (Centre Back)

Steven Caldwell (Defender)

Midfield:

Nacer Barazite (Attacking Midfield/Support Striker)

Jay Simpson (Striker/Winger)

Mark Randell (Centre Midfield/Defensive Midfield/Right Wing)

Eduardo Cost (Midfielder)

Striker

Alexis Sanchez (Forward)

Carlos Vela (Striker/Right Wing/Left Wing)

Giuseppe Rossi (Striker)

Jordan Rhodes (Striker)

Jose Baxter (Midfield/Attacking Midfield/Striker)

Nicholas Millan (Striker) - He is 17, on 35 quid a week, so I tried to get him on loan, everything was excepted...Bloody work permits

Ross Montague (Striker)

Theo Walcott (Striker/Winger)

Pedro from Arsenal

Am I right in thinking that if I make a note of the code thing that comes with the game in the manual.

That I could trade this in and still play on it?

No stores accept trade ins for PC games nowadays

[Finnegan]

Not even CEX?

[Samilktray]

Not even CEX?

Thats what I was thinking.

Trade it in, raise some cash to get Fallout 3 to see what the fuss is all about, and still have the ability to go on FM.

Cushty.

doubt it many places are really funny about simply taking pc games back as its soooo easy to make copys of them then return it to get your dosh back!

It requires the disc, not the code, to run. The code is just an activation key you needed to install the game.

At the risk of being moaned at by Ricey, what you'd need is an ISO file of the FM disc and software like Daemon Tools to mount it in.

But if you're doing that you may as well have just got the game illegally in the first place.

Given that, even if they do trade in PC games, they'll sell it on for about £15 you'll probably only get about £7 p/e anyway. It really isn't worth it. Just keep it.

[DB11]

Look at my coach's name

It requires the disc, not the code, to run.

WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Unless you're still on a Mac.

[Finnegan]

seriously?

[CosbehFox]

Going to start a new game on the 9.2, Think I'll be Lech Poznan in Poland.

No idea why.

I was them on FM08 - used to whip the league was them as they were the only club with decent support and money.

Korona Kielce always produce the best youngsters.

[dandannieldanok]

seriously?

I installed it with Steam and I don't need to use the disk.

[DB11]

seriously?

Yes. Take the disc out of the drive and try running FM09.

As long as the status is activate, it will run fine.

[Fox You Forest]

Time for a challenge. :laugh:

My best player.

This is the shower i have to save from relegation Most of them are so shit they don't have a value.

Somehow managed a 1-1 draw against Blyth first game of the season.

[CosbehFox]

I installed it with Steam and I don't need to use the disk.

I installed it the other way and my disc's been out for a while.

Now I have Arshavin at Bochum and we've moved back into our stadium - we had a bit of good form. Still want a top 8 finish but I've really got get some top players at the club to push on (Sarr and Hildebrand on my hitlist). Fourth season, I'm planning - training everything - each game as one.

Beat Dortmund 4-0 at home in a Ruhr derby and Cottbus 4-0 away (they are the Derby of Bundesliga). Lewando only has five in the league this season after our fall-out whereas Makriev is becoming my Mr.Reliable. Poggybank had a clash with me when Athletico Madrid came knocking. <_<

Is that a created team or is it a few seasons in?

I've done 8 seasons with my created Leicester UTD team. Got them from Blue Square North to The Premier League in consecutive seasons (no cheating!) & did it on a shoestring budget too. Only put 3 players from the database in the squad, (Odhiambo, Luke O'Neil & Alex Cisak) all the others are randoms the game gave me & under 18's. Finnished my first Premier season in 6th & qualified for UEFA cup.

Anyone got the England job yet? Paul Ince just got it on mine....

[DB11]

I've left Swindon for West Ham now

Massively in debt with a -40k wage budget and only £30k transfer budget... this is gonna be hard!

First season, I just swapped them with Tamworth using the editor.

I didn't make them up there on the DB and those players actually play for Coalville.

[Sods]

Finally started a new game.

Luton. 8 Games and 15 points. Now only 4 points from Rotherham and 8 from Bournemouth. Still another 19 from Barnet who started on positive points.

This is actually mission impossible. But with the help from Fabio im getting there.

[Darkzzz_]

I am guessing I have a error with this stupid f****** steam.

I am getting the message " Unable to connect this time, please try again later"

Huddersfield Town need me..... I need to save them from the drop!

Damn you steam !!
