Terra21 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I did this during 09, used to make myself a mediocre player and play for me hometown team (Scottish Premier League Team), but always gave me the potential to be a top class player (usually PA (190-200)). Was interesting seeing how many times i was left at my club and how may times i went on to big things, think only once i moved to Spurs and went on to big things in the EPL. I did it for fun at first but, was wondering if anyone else did the same and how things turned out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agbonlahor4England Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I sometimes put my friends and I into the game, set them as potential wunderkids and Canadian and let them make Canada a quality team. It's only something I usually do after a couple of saves that i've finished because its clearly more 'fun' then realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yeah I've done it quite often. I like to make myself into a young up-and-coming midfielder in the Liverpool youth team. I make sure I am utterly devoted to the reds, and I also add myself onto the club and chairman's favoured personnel lists so I never get sold. Give myself excellent influence so I'm the future Liverpool captain. Then I sit back and smile at the screen. xsmugx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_no_7 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Every game without fail, add my mates and my brother also. I like to see where they all end up, of course i stay at Leeds throughout. I've had quite alot of success while doing it for my player at least, FM09 (which i'm still playing) i've helped Leeds into a long running 3 way battle for the premiership with Man City and Arsenal as well as a couple of champions league titles, on the verge of a 4th world player of the year award also but it takes a while to get everything just right. I'd like to be able to add pictures or at least have the virtual faces like regenerated players have but i'm not sure if the new one will have that function within the data editor.

phnompenhandy Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I used to do this; now I create a 'son' with rubbish CA and high PA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dz47 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 yeah sometimes i create a new 'wonderkid' player...not me exactly but the sort of player that i would have ideally like to have been. Makes it really fun to get that player to the club i'm managing and nurture him into a superstar! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLaughingMan Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yup, every time, since CM4. Me and my mate who are both huge FM fans go in both our databases, Me as a Sweeper/Right Full Back and him as a Right sided Winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin_ellis_19 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I have never done this before, but would be good to do it in 2010, see how you progress and what club your at, value and attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yeah I did it last year, all stats maxed out, 16 years old, unattached. Let the game run for about 20 years. Ended up being a Manchester United (bah) legend and their record highest appearance and most goals scored. Was also England's most capped and highest goalscorer. He was still playing every game at that age and I suspect he would have been playing well into his forties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I used to do this. What i usually did was "replace" a player of the club with myself (ie selling that player). I kind of enjoy the RPG aspect of it. however since i started using user updated DB's for realism i haven't done that anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyrley_saddler Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 No I haven't but I have a friend who always put themselves in the game with PA:200 CA:200. Personally I think it's a bit sad to put yourself in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

briolab Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I did it once in one of the earlier versions of FM. After a while I (as a generated player) had "personal problems" and nobody would sign me. Nuts! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I'm considering putting myself in with 20 long throws, work rate and stamina, and the PPM "has a long hard throw". I would then set my CA to about 5. Hey presto, I'm a one trick pony! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Only in one of my non-too-serious games. I was the best 16 year-old DMC (I'm actually 34) with a PA of 198 at Leeds United... who'd just been taken over by a Man City style billionnaire. Of course, I got bored of the save three seasons in without coming to full maturity, although "I" did win L2 Young Player of the Year in "my" first season on loan. I had hoped to see "me" lead Leeds to glory year after year and eventually England too, but it wasn't to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson123 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Yeah I did it on 09 with me and a couple of mates. Similar to you, I put us all to the same CA and PA but threw in injury stat to the mix to see how the randomness would hit. I think we all eventually made the premier after several seasons but only one made it big, the other mediocre and I was the injury hit one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJobson Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Once did, it was funny after a few serious saves. Jobiano, brazilian wonderkid for middlesbrough (very real), AM/F LC I was an enigma on Teesside Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it stupid when people do that. Make themselves a top class player at the start and have their overall potential top rated too. When I do it I'm a little more realistic 16yrs old CA:80-90 PA:-8 or -9 (never -10 as thats just like setting it to 200. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartwork Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I don't d it much, and only cos I'm bored. In FM10 I might make all my mates and put them into a new team that I'll put into the lowest active league that I've made. Then I'll see how they progress.

cruyff14 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I done it once I made myself 35 to coincide with my manger profile so I was like a player/manager and gave myself a full career history playing at various mediocre teams I was average centre back.
