Finally bought FM09 today.. and as always have started up a Man United game. Despite mixed reviews, the new 3D engine is great. Really looking forward to getting going.

Had hoped that Rafael, Fabio and Rodrigo Possebon would be slightly better but i'll still be looking to them for the future.

Am going to bring in a new left winger and thats about all for the first season. The squad is really strong.

Man Utd's researcher's suggestions on editting Rafael, Fabio and Possebon.

In your opinion of course, it's obvious you have no knowledge unless you coded part of the match engine. So explain to me why it's rubbish when a lot of people download his yet... I don't see your anywhere?

So you just came in to have a snipe? How pathetic. Just because I keep pointing out your idiocy...

Anyway, the race for the title is really starting to hot up on my game. Here's the table in March:

I've won the Carling Cup already though by beating Arsenal 1-0 through a Berbatov goal. I actually beat Arsenal!!!!

Even after editing rafael's stats I found that Santon is better than him imo, half way through 2009/10, after playing them in both carling cup and easy premiership games. Maybe loan out rafael to see if he improves (if you still have Neville), plus Santon can back up MR/AMR aswell. But depends on what you want to do :).

Manchester United Update - Season 2 - January

Transfers

12302008181543my8.th.jpg

The only ones that came in January are obviously the last two.

Di Iorio is a regen I found, he isn't looking quite as good as he was to begin with, a couple of stats have gone down 1. =(

Competitions

Premiership

12302008182628el3.th.jpg

I am happy with the way things are going in the Premiership now, it was a rough start and I have been down as low as 6th with one or two losses and draw, but I have managed to get the team back on form winning 15 games on the bounce in all competitions including wins away at Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premiership.

Other Competitions

Not much worth mentioning here really, I have Inter in the Champions League 1st Knock Out Round after coming 2nd in my group to Real Madrid (who got AC Milan). I am confident of winning the tie anyhow as I did so in the quater finals last season.

12302008183505gw6.th.jpg

The Community Shield is missing on that list, which I lost on Penalties to Arsenal.

Targets

I want to win the FA Cup this season after a horribly unlucky defeat against Arsenal in the final last year, so that is a priority. The Champions League and Premiership are playing second fiddle to that this season. Also I am tired of Berbatov being crap so I have tried to sell him on deadline day for 40m, it didnt come through but I have alot of interest in him from big teams so I am hoping he goes in the summer. I will look to replace him with Santa Cruz or if possible Ibrahimovic or maybe even David Villa.

NB: I am going to update on Sweden on here as it is on my Man Utd save and I don't think there is an International/Sweden thread? Anyway, anyone against that?

Anyone how can i edit Possebon, and the Brazilian twins stats,

Hargreaves and Anderson have formed a great partnership for me, loving them.

Sorry about double posting guys.

You have to edit the players in the editor before you start a game, dont worry if you haven't they still turn out pretty good anyway.

PS: I also love Anderson and Hargy :thup:

Liar! I brought him to your attention so that you wouldn't buy that sheep sh*gging sell-out Ramsey! You just found out how short his contract is and cheap he is! And I'll be keeping Bostock and Sneijder, the odds are there that atleast one of the 3 will be a flop and I will sell that one once I find out which one that is. Besides I'm not offering Scholes a contract this year and am hoping he'll retire to be my Ass Man!
Are you sure? I know he wasn't in my shortlist before, but I wasn't going to pay more than £15m for Ramsey.

Read my post again, how do you know someone else's training regime is terrible unless you actually have real knowledge of the match engine or how FM09 works?

Stop trying to cause trouble.

Evon is a good FM player who has been playing the series for years, with that comes knowledge and patterns are revealed in the match engines. You don't need to have coded any part of the match engine to know what stats are important to certain positions on the playing field, hell you don't even have to know much about the game. FM is very realistic in terms of what attributes are needed to perform when playing football, and there are tons of articles in the tactics and training areas of the forum which explain what stats are important for which players.

Phelan's contract is coming to an end should i renew it of find someone else?

phelanhy3.th.jpg

Yeah, get a new ass. man. Most people do at the start as Phelan isn't great and he's not a great coach either.

Rooney's annoying me again with his 'cant hit a donkey's @rse with a banjo' shooting. Either he misses or hits it straight at the keeper. :mad:

Crazy gra, (or anyone that is good at scouting), when you say looks for players at 'age is at most 19', is there any point to this?

For example, if I get a scout to scout the nation of Spain without any age restriction, he will find 'x' amount of players at 'age at most 19', and 'y' players aged 20 or above. If I then get the same scout to scout Spain with the age restriction, he will find the same 'x' amount of players at 'age is most 19', but without the y amount of players aged 20 and above.

So doing the method without the age restriction, I can still get exactly the same amount of players aged 19 or below, but then say if I needed an experienced player to come in for some squad cover, I would still be able to find one of those players.

Or, will the scout *specifically target young players* so that there are more youngsters in the report than if I left the age restriction off?

Thanks, bit confused about this one.

i always scout under 21's because they are the only players i will sign when playing with united.

i always get about 20 players a season onto my short list then keep scouting then to make sure no Muppets come through

I don't think it makes a massive difference. If you get the scout to search for young players only, you do get more 'good young players' from him I find, but when you get him to scout for any aged players you still get the best youngsters in the search anyway. It just helps when you are a team for Man Utd who don't really need to search for good older players when they can buy and also already have some of the best players in the world. Just saves searching through players that might be a bit unnecessary to scout really. :)
