Started with City, and yes because they have money.

Thought i'd go for youth, i only have 5 players over the age of 26 and Hamman is one of them but looking get shut of him, or not offer him a new contract as i'm currently only using him in the cups. Currently 6th in the league, league cup semi-final and 2nd round of FA cup, so far not too bad. Also, into the 2nd round of the Uefa cup, although i am likely to come face to face with AC Milan shortly if i beat Racing, which will be tough. I'm just looking to maybe finish 5th in my first season, and reach the semi-final of the fa cup, and i've already done that in the league cup, and with a bit of luck might reach the final and who knows from there. I'm hoping to do well in Uefa cup, although i have AC Milan in the next round if i go through, going to be very tough. Things aren't looking too badly at the moment, will list my signings when i get chance to go on, as spelling some of there names is a nightmare.

I'm looking to maybe give them a season or two to gain experience then hopefully take the premiership by storm after that.

I bought a french kid at Chelsea - Sankharre I think he's called. French defensive midfielder. I bought him for future years but injuries got him into the side, he's been very good. Think he's only 18/19.

I signed someone called John Fleck from a Scottish side as my scout highly recommended him, he was only 16, nearly 17 when i signed him. I only planned on using him occasionally, but like yourself, injuries forced me to use him more than i needed and hes been quite good at the minute, and his potential is very good.

I had him on FM07. He was at Rangers, is he still ? If he is, he hasn't progressed so well in real life.

My scout on '09' has just recommended him too. I signed a Brazilian Defender as cover too, Thiago Silva, £2.5m. He's in the reserves mainly, playing when I have injuries etc. His average rating is 7.6 when he comes in.

I think he was at Rangers. He kept getting recommended to me, so i spent about £2million on him in the end, hes done OK though, and has been rated around the 7.2 mark.

This passcode thing. My mate has bought the game and registered it via the phone. Could I put the disk onto my computer or will it already have been registered and not allow me to use it?

Not too sure, Juice. You're the one without the internet at home, aren't you?


Am I right in saying that, if I went to my friends and downloaded Steam, I could play FM at his house, without the disk, just by signing into my Steam account?

I have Thiago Silva!

He's immense, he's my top scorer atm, from centre back!

The re-gens on this game are all class, Wigan have 3 5* re-gens in their current crop of academy players, and they're all class.
