If you'd read my post just above yours, all I want for now is interest. Once I know enough people are interested, I'll set up a post detailing how to sign up, how to set your attributes and etc.

As for the league, I'm thinking the English leagues. Everyone knows the teams, we can play in the ECL, the league is big enough that none of you will want to leave the club:p (though I plan on making everyone as loyal as possible, so that we stay as a team.) Either the Championship or League 1 sounds best IMO.

What i meant specifically was whether we would be competing in the EPL or championship or starting at the bottom or what. I say we start in the EPL, because we can always go down then...

What's the plan for the hidden attributes like Potential and current ability, Injury prone-ness and chairman ambition. How wealthy is the club going to be?? How big is the stadium?? And who are our main rivals??

Afro gets 99 for injury proness cause hes out for life with his leg injury. :P

Nah, I'm trying to get back into it actually. That's fully healed up now so I'm trying to get back some match fitness and using the gym at work.

Funky Munky - count me in.

I wont bore you with the details but am defo keen sounds great idea. (then when we win Champs league we will have to have a 442 get together - Bus through Madrid style LOL)

havent read the previous 30 pages - but whats the forums opinion.

FIFA 09
PES (which i have never played)
FM (whihc i have never played)

I have had FIFA for ages - now playing 08 and like it - but i am interested in more of a player career (which i think is in FM??)

Any thoughts or recommendations are welcome.

Divided.

CentroCampista - FM is a manger career, you have no direct control over the players.

There's a thread where you can sign up for the FM thing too...

Love some of the new controlled goal celebrations on FIFA 09
Figured out how to do a somersault :P
I wish they hadv added a 'punch the flag' thing for timmy :(

Was hoping for a simple solution - but am expecting a divided response. Thanks Sugar Ray (haha)

does FIFA 09 have the international player thingy where you can be calle dup by the NT?

In Be A pro: Seasons mode, yes it does.
in manager mode your players also get called up

Always the highlight of the career.

lol! They actually have that??

No, mack was just testing to see if anybody actually reads what he says anymore.

mack's the only person I bother reading. It's interesting.

Sometimes it's a good read. Other times I've found it boring as batshit (sorry mack). I think that's mostly when I'm tired. Tbh, I'm more interested in the squad he's got as he goes through than who won the golden boot etc.

Same. Turning into the Spanish Arsenal.

What, they always run out of puff and are too young and dud??

Oh yeah. Arsenal will be crap for this season and the next but you watch after Arsenal will be back.

I'm going to do an update after I finish work and get back home. Off the top of my head, I brought in a new right and left wing back to replace the 2nd choice DR and DL (as they were older, and more straight defenders than the evra-style wing backs I need for this tactic), looked for another striker, ended up with Walcott on loan (who is surprisgnly poor statwise atm.) as the 2 guys I wanted were priced out of my league.

And we moved into our new 75k stadium \:d/

No doubt. But will they ever even come close to replicating the form from 00-03?

I hate to tell you this but he doesn't improve much at all.

either does agbonlahor. FM doesnt like speedy players.

No they were once in a lfetime & Wenger is only interested in youth. They will win the FA Cup or something.

Actually, I've always wondered why he isn't a youth coach rater than manager.

playing the FM08 demo on 360 now
I like how its a lot more realistic
You cant just buy a fantastic player if your managing a lower team.

Valencia: Start of Season 3 Transfer Window Closure 2009/10

2 First Division games into the new season, we remain unbeaten, including easily qualifying for the Champions League group stage with a 6-2 Agg win vs Saint-Etienne, and 2-0 victories over Mallorca and Recreativo.

Champions League action starts very soon, with our first game against Everton (who won the Premier League last season) in about 2 weeks, followed by Olympique Lyon and Dinamo Kiev after.

I'm hoping our match vs Real Madrid will pack the new stadium in, hoping for a huge crowd for that one.

In World transfer news, Inter, AC Milan and United made the big headlines, Inter with a massive 51 million purchase of Nani (this is in GBP btw), AC Milan buying Reina and Alves for 27m and 31m respectivaely, with United spending 24.5 and 21.5 on Aleksanar Kolarov and Giles Barnes.

Valencia Transfers
I raided Arsenal pretty effectively in this window. The main goals of this window were to remove and replace my existing defensive flankers, most of which were very much in an old style "Defender" model, rather than the attacking wing-backs that give my tactic alot of width and forward momentum.

Marco Caneria, 30yo DRLC - (Sampdoria), 2m
Hugo Viana, 26yo MC - (Bolonga), 2.2m

Steven Smith, 24yo D/WB L - (Rangers), 3.9m + 5% On Sale Fee

Interesting team there. But don't go expecting much from Walcott.

tbh.
