Mind you, I'm effing terrible at FM so I'm probably not the best judge. I do wonder if he will IF the AI improvents to squad building are all they claim to be. He ends up winning because it gets to a point if you buy better players it's impossible not to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they would be interested . Every year when fm is released, she always says well its nice knowing you , and she will look forward to finding bits of paper in my trouser pockets, and around the house with formations and transfer targets on haha.
