With Brondby, it came down to needing a win on he final day of the season to clinch the title from Kobenhavn and we got it again. Back to Back league titles and three cups in a row. Keeping them there and also getting past the group stages of champs league will be a bit of a challenge for the next season.

After being given nothing as a transfer budget the last three season i got given 15mill to spend, which is a bit tricky because just about every target i have choses to sign for another club. Djourou from Arsenal and Kakuta from Chelsea as a back-up left wing are the only players ive brought in so far but should be able to sign a few more quality players.

Dunno but I got him for only 10k and he had no problems with joining us (who would) hopefully for your sake thats a demo thing though

It might just have been a reputation thing, S_F. Wouldn't worry about it.

Fernando Torres has 23 goals from 21 games and Diego Forlan has 25 from 23 and for the first time I'm starting to doubt how realistic FM is 8-[

Thats crazy talk man I dont wanna hear that again, Vidosic has 10 goals in 4 appearances for me in HAL is that unrealistic fm no it just means awesome management, its the same with your Torres and Forlan form, thats all it is now ok

that happened with my a.c milan team. pato was a gun scoring almost every game as well as dzeko. now g. rossi and nilmar are doing the same at villerreal

Torres is on target to break the EPL record. He's got 11 games to score 11 goals and top Andy Cole.

I am planning to get FM 2010 any day from now. And I have heard that you can add divisions. Is this true? For example, would I be able to make a B-League competition with State League teams? Anyone done this?

Yep it's quite easy, I've done one already of a B-League with 10 or 12 Teams. It's really easy to set up, just set the reputation and prize money lower than A-League. If I was motivated I'd adjust club reputations and make clubs as professional instead of Semi-Pro.
The groundwork is pretty easy to set up though.

CWBush has done one with three tiers and a cup competition, I'll see if he'll upload it here for you.

Tell him we said pretty please. :)

I just had a 2-2 draw with Stoke...Bennett scored a brace. Fortunately both of those were in to his own net and we won 4-0.

This shouldnt be on page 2.

Has anyone had success with bargain signings yet? I mean quality players brought in cheap or free or players you didnt expect to star ripping it up?

Well...my bargains just seasled me the title with 6 games remaining. But I never expected Di Maria, Veloso, Cardozo and Jovetic to bring anything less.

Yeah I signed Di Maria as good depth but he has made LW his own this season and he has Silva, Giggs and Nani for competition

I signed Di Maria as first choice. Given that Riera is fairly average. Haven't regretted it. Riera has been forced into being a permanent fixture on the bench this season.

With the title sealed, I'm tuning my attention to the Champions League. I've made it to the semi-finals, I've got Manchester United. The other side of the draw is Chelsea v Inter (Inter came back from 3-1 down from their home leg to win the return 4-0 in the quarter against Juve, so I expect to meet them in the final if I go through).

God damnit, gotta pick up FM10 soon.

I have to wait 'till Christmas :(

It's awesome having money :)

Ok, so I played my champions league semi tonight. It didn't start out so well, United took the lead in the home leg through Rooney and I was still down at the half. But I gave Torres a quiet whisper in the ear and the rest of the lads a spraying and they turned things around in the second half with three goals in fourteen minutes, all with Torres assists. Rooney grabbed United's second in injury time and I took a slight advantage to Old Trafford.

The second game was fairly balanced, and we exchanged periods of dominance, but it was still 0-0 at the half. Then Superman Torres opened the scoring in the second half, bagging two and we walked away from Old Trafford 2-0 victors. Does it get any better?

We're playing Chelsea in the final after they limped through on away goals against Inter. Should be a great final. Funnily enoguh, i'm also playing Chelsea in the FA cup final.

Currently finishing of a B-League and Australia Cup for FM10 just need to finalise the teams, I want 14...so far I have Melb Knights, Sth Melb, Marconi, Sydney Utd, Sydney Olympic, Wollongong, Adelaide City, Sunshine Coast, Tasmania Utd, Gippsland and Canberra Utd. Any Idea's which teams to finish it off with, was thinking ECU Joondalup, Dandenong?? Any ideas much appreciated, when I finish it i'll e-mail it to anyone who's interested.

Altona Magic, Brisbane strikers, SC Sorrento, AIS. That gives you fifteen. So I'd drop one of Gippsland and Tasmania Utd.

Sutherland? It lookss like there's enough Sydney teams already though.

I'd be up for you emailing it to me when you're done :)

You can create teams as well? If so, how about one in Darwin, Cairns, sticking to the Premier League teams, Mandurah City.

It looks as though I am very interested.:lol:

mus-28 sounds interesting :) i think it's a good list
can you pm it to me when your done :P

whats ur format for the australian cup?

no place for green gully/ heidelrberg?? :-k

BTW everyone this is urgent i need to know
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is FM on the PSP any good??
like i no it won't be any comporable to the PC but is it worth picking up for PSP???

Anyone with past experience please i need to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [-o< ;)

Don't have past experience but from gained knowledge it's apparently shit. You can't have as big a database and there's only about half of the leagues.

really half the leagues :O it says all leagues?? wow :O
but i generally just get only the top leagus from the best 10 leagues in europe add the a-league and mls, and then 4 leagues from england

like is the actual gameplay the same if i just had those leagues, i don't care bout the database otherwise :-k?

Just testing the B-League and FFA Cup now....settled on a 14 team B-League comprising of Sth Melb, Melb Knights, Dandenong Thunder, Adelaide City, ECU Joondalup, Tasmania Utd, Canberra Utd, Brisbane Strikers, Syd Utd, Syd Olympic, Marconi, Sutherland Sharks, Wollongong and Sunshine Coast.
Set the FFA Cup to include all the teams from state top division (inc Tas nth & sth) and A&B Leagues. There are 4 rounds before quarter, semi's and grand final with Prize money for each round.
Added in a few awards like Solo goal of the week, young player of the month and Player of Month for the B-League.
PM me with e-mail addresses if your interested and i'll e-mail the file when i get time.

FM on the PSP is kind of inhibitive. And due to the decreased processing power, the AI are below par. The transfer market is chaos too. Teams are very aggressive.

How big is the file, mus?

486KB, one of the massive improvements on FM is the xml files being so small......much better than having to download 90MB of data update in January.

Freaking sweet. Send it my way for sure. I might check it out once I get bored with Liverpool.

Speaking of which, I just sealed the title. Torres bagged 40 goals in the league alone. Magnificent season to say the least. Sponsorship should be impressive when the new deals come up for the new season.
