Liam =D Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Courtesy of Foxmad... 1) Arrange friendly for your reserve team against U18's in about 2 weeks time. 2) Select all of your reserve team using Ctrl+A 3) Move them all to either the first team squad or U18's. 4) Continue a few times 5) About a day later you will have a squad full of grey players. 6) All of these will be amazing 19 year old . 7) Offer them contracts and move to Senior team. 8) Another lot will come through. 9) This can be repeated as many times as you like and due to them demanding little wages is a sure fire way to get a better team.

McMaster#28 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 The main thing here which is missing is it seems to only work in Italy. Try it with AC Milan and presuming you sign all the gray players in your reserves you'll find that Kaka will struggle to get on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

postal postie Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 i tried it with liverpoiol. under18s and reserves and it didn't work. dont' suppose it matters much though it would be nice to get it fixed. could this mean that the return of the problem were the AI would sell their players and be playing greys for the rest of the gaem if they're that ogod.

I remember facing Messina in the CL with Braintree in FM06, they had a team full of world class looking grey players. They were a far better team than any of the other big European teams who had teams full of real players. I think they won the UEFA Cup without a real player in their team.
