quick question about buying a game online... trying to buy FM 11 through these guys

http://www.direct2drive.com/9841/product/Buy-Football-Manager-2011-Download

it doesn't say anything about mac, which is what i'm using although FM11 is compatible with both Mac & PC and it's stated on other sites, but this site is practically half the price and one of the officially approved seller's by SI

Decided to give myself the challenge of taking AFC Wimbeldon to the heights of the Premier League. Might take some time, but I'm willing to do it. I haven't taken on such a small team before, so it should be an interesting one.

Only in pre-season at the moment, but I've already got a pretty promising team of youngsters.

Taken control of Central Coast. 10 games into the season sitting top of the table by 2 points over Perth. 8 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss. Performing much better than board expected. Have not had any big injuries so will be tough when someone gets a lengthy injury.

I'm gunna develop my own when i get the game tomorrow/or friday.... had a read around those forums about it, saw the ACL thread on the 2nd page... fix up the Champions League so there's 3-4 Australian teams get in and so that it starts after the A-League and make it a top 4 finals, FFA Cup and the like... it's too much to actually make a whole new confederation isn't it?

Well, after signing an obscene amount of players to bolster my Wimbeldon squad, we're now looking the goods to be one of the heavyweights in the BSP. There's a good chance I'll be able to jump up to League 1 pretty quickly as most of the players I've signed are high-end League 2 quality. Signings of the season so far are Josh Wagenaar and Terry Dixon. Wagenaar, a Canadian keeper, has been immense and has only conceded 2 goals after 6 games.

My loaners are doing well too, brought in Ignaci Miquel from Arsenal, Etzaz Hussain from Man Utd (both 17y/o) and Jacob Walcott from Reading for the season. Hussain hasn't made much of an impact yet, but Walcott and Miquel have been consistent starters.

Very happy with my defence, and it's only a matter of time before we click in attack. Still, after 6 we're sitting in 2nd place.

Looking to start a new game, as exams and assessment are all but over, but need an idea. Probably start this weekend. Has anyone had a game that aren't within some of the big leagues, and nations but still found it entertaining? Possibly even a game where they created a new league, or drastically edited one. If not, what are some past games you have had that have been nothing short of epic?

I once took charge of Van Dijk's old club, Emmen. Taht was good fun.

The thing is, the game now allows for reputation changes for national leagues, so it's a very different process taking unheralded teams in unheralded nations to big titles.

The Russian League can be quite fun if you're good at bargain hunting.

In the past we've talked abotu setting up a European League...I'm thinking I'll work on that this year.

Taking Bristol Rovers to Europa League champions was good fun too.

So I started a new game with Liverpool...it's still got Hicks and Gillet on the board...and no new owners in sight. So you're basically fucked from the outset.

I've still got a save floating around in FM10 with a two tier Euro League, surprisingly the heavy weights like Barca and Manchester United weren't overly impressive, teams like Bayern, Everton and Bordeaux surprised a few. I only lasted half the season before I got bored but Everton was constantly in the top three whereas Barca was about sixth and Chelsea and Madrid were even further down

You should be able to pick him up fairly easily. Assuming they don't want him for the first team at any point.

Feeder teams have become a lot easier to manage over the years in terms of loans etc.
